First review of Red Dead Redemption

The guys at Game Informer have their claws into the game and given a note 9.75

Here are their conclusions:

Task: Take the concept of Grand Theft Auto to a Wild West scenario.

Graphics: beautiful scenery, unique horse animations, and cinematic cutscenes greatly improved over GTA IV makes this Rockstar game the best so far.

Sound: From the perfect sound of gunfire, the rumble of storms on the prairie, the extraordinary attention to detail makes the audio all this world may have life.

Gameplay: The point-and-tight cover system will be familiar to anyone who has played GTA IV, and control of horses is the best I've seen in any other game.

Entertainment: Rockstar deftly recreates the life of the border and gives players enough variety to keep you glued for weeks and weeks to play.

good score.

Greywulf5119d ago

1. Love the western theme.
2. Love(d) Rockstar, hope they don't just half ass a game for the sake of DLC. So I'm really looking forward to the single player.

3. The multiplayer does seem pretty interesting. It speaks to several types of gamers. I like the idea you can just gain xp as a hunter/gatherer/shooter etc...

If you can make a posse of your friends, that would be sick.

The_Count5119d ago

This game looks good enough to last over the summer months.

mikeslemonade5118d ago (Edited 5118d ago )

Still not sold on the graphics and auto-aim for multiplayer, but that's only it. It's going to look great for an open-world game, but won't compare to a polished linear game and that's the truth.

Also are the towns going to be that interesting? Towns in the old midwest basically look the same. It's not like LA and NYC where things looks different and interesting. I hope that it doesn't bore me.

mcnablejr5118d ago

Is not present in different multiplayers game types. I think hardcore game types feature manual aiming.

mikeslemonade5118d ago

Auto-aim is something i'm truly against. I despise it more than Nintendo and Microsoft lol

Sm0k3y_Bac0n5118d ago

I will be very annoyed if you cant turn auto aim off in MP

mal_tez925118d ago

The game got such great reviews, but turned out to be the most boring game I own.

Iloved red dead revolver and hope this is as good.

CSGrey-Fox5118d ago

For all of those who are still unsure about the auto-aim in MP, there are three different playlists for players who like lots of auto-aim, a little auto-aim and then absolutely no auto-aim.

It's all answered here:

P.S. What I love is that for those who play the expert/hardcore playlists, you get more EXP. Genious, reward the higher skilled players, I love it!

SixTwoTwo5118d ago

Great score. We may have another GOTY contender here =)

Trey_4_life5118d ago

Gameinformer in my opinion are very accurate with their reviews so i'm guessing this will be a 9.3 on IGN which is epic and i also expect EDGE to give the 360 version a 10!

ibma145118d ago

Rockstar games never failed me yet

AAACE55118d ago

Just finished GoW 3 and am now looking forward to playing this. I get a feeling I will be spending tons of time in the multiplayer.

9.75....... -_-
Wow........Good score.
Possible GOTY? :D

ThanatosDMC5119d ago

Yup, very possible as long as it's not disappointing as GTA4. I cant wait for this game! I'm passing up LP2.

nnotdead5118d ago

i agree with the first part of your post. i just think it will end up being a disappointment. i'll rent it from Gamefly, and if i find myself enjoying it i may pay to keep it.

Petro895118d ago

That title is reserved for Gran Turismo 5 tbh.... ;)

It looks very good though!

Socrates5118d ago

I'll bet you anything GT5 will not win GOTY. The fifth iteration of any game is not going to win GOTY unless it introduces significant innovation over its predecessors. I have seen very little innovation in GT5.
Hang your hopes on God of War 3 or LBP2. Those games have a much better chance than GT5.

pimpmaster5118d ago

i bet you GT5 wont even come out this year!

mikeslemonade5118d ago

It's going to be a nominee like Batman Arkam Aslyum but it's not going to win.

MrMiyagi5119d ago (Edited 5119d ago )

I think the closest game to came to this type of success for an old western game is Oregon Trail

Redlogic5119d ago

I can remember the days of school when we had computer class and I would get to play Oregon Trail. Those were probably my favorite days in school and part of the reason why I got into gaming and have been all my life. We always used to fight over who got to hunt, that was the best part! Red Dead Redemption = Oregon Trail 2010

JABT19855119d ago

well said... Oregon Trail was probably the first game that I ever became addicted to. I would love to see a GOOD remake of Oregon Trail.

Redlogic5119d ago

As long as I never die of dysentery again!

BWS19825118d ago

Gun was a very solid and well done title from last gen.

divideby05119d ago

next week cant get here soon enough...this game has so much replay hence value for the gamer

SPACEBALL 15119d ago

this game is goin to be f*cking awesome!!!! cant wait to play the free roam mp.

Goodguy012d ago

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Cacabunga1d 21h ago

Where is RDR2 60hz patch ?

Snookies121d 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h ago )

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.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

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.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

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!

DaReapa2d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming34d 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-Long34d 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_gaming34d ago

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

purple10134d 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

Skuletor34d 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.

CrimsonWing6934d 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_gaming34d 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.

Inverno34d 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_gaming34d ago

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

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

Exvalos49d ago (Edited 49d 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.

anast49d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg49d 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.

CobraKai48d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
