GameInformer Read Dead Redemption Review

"Rockstar Wrangles The Best Video Game Western Of All Time. With high noon duels, lawless frontiers, and gruff leading men, the Western genre seemingly has all the essential pieces to make a smooth transition into video games. But as past six-shooters like Dead Man’s Hand, Call of Juarez, Gun, and Red Dead Revolver found out, dressing your scruffy hero in a duster and giving him a revolver isn’t enough to captivate audiences accustomed to firing rocket-propelled grenades and light machine guns. For Rockstar’s first full-fledged effort in the genre (the company purchased Red Dead Revolver from Capcom), it decided to do what it does best – explore the topic at hand with an immersive open world."

StanLee5085d ago

Yeah. I already got Alan Wake and Read Dead Redemption. If you preordered at GameStop you can pick it up today.

deadreckoning6665085d ago

tatotiburon5085d ago

JokesOnYou5085d ago

Alan Wake and Red Dead are going to keep me plenty busy all the way up until E3, I'm not interested in Split Second although it looks like a helluva game I don't just dont have room for many racers with so much left to do in Forza3 still, either way it seems gamers are spoiled with theres so many qualities games no matter what kind you prefer.

JOY

Faztkiller5085d ago

I wasn't interested in split/second till I played the demo and decided I had to have it also the same with Modnation next week got to have it

What a stupid rating, why cant these reviewer just give the 10 for the awesome games. They have to be so extremly nitpicky!

iamgoatman5085d ago

Maybe because they didn't think it deserved a 10? I don't think any game deserves a perfect score, as no game is perfect.

I'm always skeptical of reviewers who hand out 10s all over the place.

Horny5085d ago

too many ppl complained about GTA4 getting perfect scores.
Give it a few weeks and you will get ppl downplaying this game too.
I dont really care I enjoyed GTA4 and Im damn sure going to enjoy this, I loved the first one and I like western games in general. Picking this up at Midnight.

SPARTANVI5085d ago (Edited 5085d ago )

I'll simply say that a perfect 10 (or even 0) is like a asymptote you might have learned about in calculus. One can get very very close to it, but never quite touch perfection.

Perhaps they should add a few more decimal places. :P

Myst5085d ago

Sucks that this didn't come out a week ago when my Hiatus was in session...Oh well three days of playing it non-stop should be enough.

Ryuha1234h5085d ago

Great score, I'm defenetly picking this game up.

Meave5085d ago

Can't wait to pick this up!!

BTW That chick they put on the right for the Macbook adds is HOT, who is she?

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming7d 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-Long7d 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_gaming7d ago

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

purple1017d 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

Skuletor7d 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.

CrimsonWing697d 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_gaming7d 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.

Inverno7d 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_gaming7d 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

Exvalos21d ago (Edited 21d 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.

anast21d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg21d 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.

CobraKai20d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow

OtterX37d ago

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.

CobraKai37d 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.

Profchaos37d 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

kaos8937d ago

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

OtterX37d ago (Edited 37d 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.

jznrpg21d 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.

Profchaos37d ago (Edited 37d 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
