PSBeyond Red Dead Redemption Preview

"At the dawn of the 20th century, the American Wild West was getting tamed by industrialization. The rogue cowboys evolved into factory assemblymen, and the chaos of anarchy was starting to decline. Down in Mexico, a civil war was about to break out as the bandits, cowboys and outlaws of all kinds are making their last stand to keep their dwindling antiquated lifestyles. And the latest outlaw in Rockstar's new highly anticipated open world adventure is you. You name is John Marston, and you're here to kill Bill Williams."

A slow witted xbox 360 owner country boy desperately wanted to be a cowboy. For months he pleaded with a local rancher to take him on, until eventually the rancher agreed to give him a chance.

On the first day, the rancher showed him a rope. 'This' he said, 'is a lariat we use it to catch cows.'

'I see,' said the xbox 360 whippersnapper recruit, apparently taking everything in. 'And what do you use as bait?'

On topic

This game is a day one buy for me. It looks like Rockstar have addressed the issues of repetitive mission tedium from GTA4. They appear to have created a joyful toy-box for gamers to lose themselves in. Except hopefully on this occasion there seems plenty of things to do to keep the gamers entertained.

maxbyte5135d ago

this would be a day one for me too if buying this would not mean the last day of my real life.
Between Just Cause 2 and RDR I would probably fail at feeding myself.

Presumably you can use fists...
And I know you can hunt mountain lions..

So does this mean there is finally a game where I can battle to the death with a mountain lion using nothing but my manly fists?

Fantastic.

Basil-Rathboner5135d ago

Thats a question i have been trying to seek an answer to as well.

About 2 days ago though i found out (cant for the life of me remember where i read it) that you can indeed use your fists.

The website even went onto say that some skirmishes can end up on the ground with the fisticuffs and grappling continuing UFC style.

Sorry HellsV and Sunshine that i cant throw any agrees or bubbles in your direction. I am using my PS3 browser and it wont let me.

Calm Down Sunshine5135d ago

This game seems almost too good to be true.

Saying that though, even if it fulfills even half of it's promises it should be an excellent game.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming30d 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

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_gaming30d ago

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

Skuletor31d 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.

CrimsonWing6931d 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_gaming30d 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.

Inverno30d 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_gaming30d 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

Exvalos45d ago (Edited 45d 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.

anast45d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg45d 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.

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai60d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos60d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8960d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg45d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
