Red Dead Redemption – Haven’t I Seen This Before?

While Red Dead Redemption has more than proven itself to be a success on many levels, does it owe more credit to a currently unacknowledged source?

True, except Gun sucks compared to RDR. Rockstar knows how to make quality games, Neversoft and Activision half ass their games and milk it with crappy DLC.

Bumpmapping5059d ago (Edited 5059d ago )

BS Gun was a very underrated game imo the only reason why RDR got such good reviews is because reviewers kiss Rockstar's ass every time.

AA75059d ago

I totally agree. Gun was one of my favourite early 360 games.

MysticStrummer5059d ago

Come on now... you're not actually saying Gun is in the same league as Red Dead Redemption... are you? I played Gun. It was ok. RDR is miles better.

R0me5059d ago

Let me ask a question.
When Gun was so great and so good, why is there no Gun 2?

djfullshred5059d ago

The only reason RDR got good reviews is because reviewers kiss Rockstar's ass? Maybe I am too far out there, but I thought it got good reviewes because it is a pretty good game.

Lich1205059d ago (Edited 5059d ago )

I played gun, and enjoyed it... However, RDR actually delivers on all the things I thought I was getting when I bought gun.

Well said.

Rockstar never produces anything but absolute quality.

AA75059d ago

Three Words: State Of Emergency.

AliTheBrit195059d ago

Ahh, thats not entirely fair

It was a bad game yes, but Rockstar didn't make it, just publish it.

Dramscus5059d ago

That depends if you count bugs and glitches into the quality factor.

pantatkaula5059d ago

I highly disagree with you. Gun was a great games for it's time. It also have a good storyline. Gun is only smaller and got a bit less going on in the world compared to Red Dead Redemption. The only gripe that I have with Gun is I failed to finish the game. The damn final boss with the dynamite always manage to kill me each time.

vhero5059d ago

When I first played RDR I immediately thought it was a GUN clone. Rockstar name on it got it the stupidly high review scores. It happens with most games just people don't realise it. Who cares anyways?? RDR is a good game in it's own right as is GUN so people should stop complaining.

Unacknowledged? I've heard much more about Gun in the past couple of months than I heard about it when it was actually released! The big magazines and podcasts dipped into the Westerns when RDR came out, looking for all those predecessors and what was improved upon.

wecouldlive5059d ago

Like what mags or podcasts? I never heard anything talking about Gun. The last time I heard anything about Gun it was 2006.

lightningsax5057d ago

I remember mentions on both Drunken Gamers Radio and Bombcast, but I think DGR talked about it more than once in anticipation. Eh, that's my favorite. Punch punch go!

arjman5059d ago

Now that I look at it, Red Dead Redemption does look like a copy of Gun (mainly its features)

whitesoxfalife5059d ago

i think that is why i cant really get into "RDR" is because I've played "GUN" when it first came out on 360 in 05-06. in terms of graphics yes "RDR" is way better than Gun... the scope of RDR is just to dam pretty i mean i like it and all but i just cant sit long enough to play it in fact i went on to play "PURE" that game is just sick but RDR is not a Gun clone but more of a realistic breathing western life but that "Alan Wake" is where its at cant wait to play the new dlc

ASSASSYN 36o5059d ago

Gun's free roam consisted of go down this path go down that path. It was severely restricted. Yes it still meets free roam status but not even close to what Red Dead provides.

And of course Red dead is like GTA... same studio made it duh.

JonDiskonected5059d ago

actually, they're published by the same company(rockstar) but one is made from rockstar north(gta) and the other is made by rockstar san diego(midnight club, rdr)

so yeah not the same studio

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming24d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long24d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming24d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10123d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor24d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming23d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno24d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming23d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Ex-Rockstar Dev Finally Explains Why Small Planes Randomly Crashed in GTA San Andreas

Former Rockstar Games Technical Director Obbe Vermeij has finally revealed why some planes would randomly crash in GTA: San Andreas.

Profchaos29d ago

This fly by feature was on the cutting room floor due to the random plane crashes and it's one of those things I'm so thankful made it into the final version as these random fly by and crashes make the world seem more alive on the extremely limited PS2 hardware you needed everything you could possibly get in a open world to convey that feeling.

And accross hundreds of hours of gameplay I probably died around 3 times as a result of these fly by failures but I loved every time it happened

isarai29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

It made the world feel more human, and honestly kinda insane that even today with all these open world games, almost no one can capture that like R* even when compared to their ps2 games

Skuletor28d ago

Lol, I remember those. I vaguely remember dying from one crashing into my car once too.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast38d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg38d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai37d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
