CFD!'s Wild West Week continues with Nate Andrews' review of Rockstar's newest:
"There are so many apt comparisons and analogies I’ve considered throwing at Red Dead Redemption, yet I seem to find myself repeatedly returning to one in particular.
"Chances are that when you were a child, you pretended to be things that you were not — someone and somewhere exciting and spectacular. Red Dead, in many ways, feels like a modern-day realization of such childhood fantasies, a fulfillment of what the imagined “future” of video games often was for me, and may well have been for you. I don’t want to imply this in a hyperbolic sense. No, I mean simply that the way Red Dead Redemption allows and encourages immersing yourself in the nooks and crannies of its Western “world” often feels like the consummate you-are-in-this-place-and-it-i s-yours sort of experience that I yearned for from games as a child."
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Rockstar Games may be preparing to release its open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 1, on PC.
This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.
Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol
I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.
I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,
would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549
last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!
There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
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
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.
Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.
I found the controls EXTREMELY clunky and overall rather slow. It just took me out of the game when I had to constantly battle the controls to get my character to where I wanted.
I honestly wasn't all hyped for this game prior to release, never having been a huge fan of Red Dead Revolver, but the more I've heard and seen of RDR since it came out, I've seriously been upset that I haven't had the time to pick it up and play it. Meh.
What I hated most abiut RDR was the amount of filler missions like the herding and the 80 horse carraige racing missions. thats the main problem about these rickstar games that no one in the media calls them out on cause they're too scared: the missions are repetitive.
This DLC sucks.
