Chris Forbis from (P*N) www.PlatformNation.com brings us his impressions of Red Dead Redemption in the style of Dr. Seuss!
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.
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime
I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.
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.
Improvements have been made to the stability of the game
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Been playing this all day
I haven't touched much of the Multiplayer
And only done like 2 main game missions, and you know what? I can already tell that this is without a doubt one of the greatest video games I have ever played
Blown away, seriously Rockstar, I bow down to you, you people are GODS!
Been spending hours just roaming around, having insane fun, hunting, doing the small missions (the blue dot ones) bounty hunting etc. and based on what I have seen in other gameplay footage I know I haven't even unlocked a bunch of the cool stuff
The world astounds me, I ride around and see people going about their own stuff, fighting, shooting it out, being chased by Animals.
It feels like you are apart of a giant breathing world, with so much to do and to see you feel overwhelmed.
Dear mother of F#*% it is a good time to be a gamer, I love 2010 :)
It's a great game but I'm not as impressed as AliTheBrit19.
I really loved the herding cow mission in the storm at night. It was really really cool. The idea was that the storm was really bad and would scatter the entire herd and was apparently bad enough to kill the men who'd try to go bring them back but when the herd was back home the rain just stopped which killed the whole mood. I was left wondering as to what happened to this killer storm.
That's the only thing that's bugged me so far. Everything else about the single player is great. Love the music which is one of the best things about this game.
edit: is it me or is this game darker than I thought it would be? I'm playing the PS3 version and midday doesn't seem to be as bright as I was expecting.
Props to the author of this review, nice change of pace in review formats!
Next do a Edgar Allen Poe version. Or perhaps Shakespeare? :D
@Raf1k1
The weather for missions is predetermined for presentation but goes back after its finished. Kind of annoying but unnavoidable.
As a person who hated gta4 and thought it was overrated i love this game. Sure there are parts where your doing some long boring ride you cant avoid, but at least i feel immersed and there are tons of things to do as long as you keep trying to do everything. Also trying to keep good honor is tough in a good way. (waiting to be bad after i finish the single player storyline.)
Best advice would be to set aside large portions of time to play so you can enjoy the scenery and environment and spend an hour riding in the wilderness and helping/fighting what comes your way and playing a long game of poker. This way your not trying to cram all the action into a short time period. I'm only in mexico and ive played around 12 hours. To me this was worth 60 bucks.
For those complaining about the difficulty:
if your not using deadeye 24/7 and have auto aim turned off its challenging. (i dont use the power up items even at the cost of my life) (i personally turn auto-aim back on for portions when i'm riding a horse and shooting.) Try using lower grade weapons too, its up to you to make it hard stop blaming the developer when you can just obstain from all the in-game help such as overpowering guns and power up items.
I'm really dissapointed with controlling the horse they made it too complicated 3 different buttons to make it move and stop, they should have used the analog stick to control how fast to trot and stopping and button to do a full speed gallop. like shadow of the collosus.
