It’s Time for a Red Dead Redemption Sequel

Red Dead Redemption was lightning in a bottle and had a uniqueness about it that still stands even five years after its launch. Now all we need is a sequel.

Such a great game. I want a sequel on current gen ASAP.

poppinslops3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

I wouldn't be suprised if R* (who tend to keep quiet about upcoming non-GTA games) have already put years of work into 'Red Dead 3' - it's just one of those inevitable games that doesn't need to be announced early, 'cos everyone's gonna buy it regardless... like Fallout 4 - it was obvious Bethesda were working on it, but I don't think anyone thought they'd be so close to completion.

Regardless, I expect the next Red Dead will have at least two playable characters - GTA-style heists would work just as well in a Western (trains, banks, Civil-War forts, casino steamboats etc) and all the best cowboy stories have a crew of misfit anti-heroes... I reckon a bounty-hunting Priest, a Native American Pinkerton agent and a gunslingin' farmer's daughter would make for an interesting trio.

R* will probably go for a similar time-period to Redemption - if-only for the sake of giving players access to 'modern' technology - but I imagine they'll set it somewhere different... Perhaps in Colorado or Louisiana?

So long as they keep the poker I'll be happy... RDR's poker is still the best.

showtimefolks3165d ago

I hope next red dead will just have one playable character. having 3 characters in gta 5 came at the cost of having an awesome story

but other than that I agree that next red dead probably has been in development for a while now, I could see something being announced at playstation event(since gta5 announcement also came at sony's confernce and it wasn't exclusives)

what time period would they set the next red dead in ?

poppinslops3165d ago

I think either during or just after the Civil-War... films like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Seraphim Falls and The Outlaw Josey Wales effectively used the conflict as a backdrop for portions of their stories.

It's recent enough that most of the technologies available in RDR would be relatively widespread... and if R* went for a Deep-South setting they could tie-in an overzealous 'Colonel Sanders meets Dicaprio-in-Django' and his legion of Greycoats as villains.

Sort of like an ultra-violent version of 'Gone with the Wind'.

-Foxtrot3166d ago

Really would like to see another one.

Love if they made Bonnie Macfarelene the main character, obviously she would be older and have a NEW voice actresses

Do like an Outlaw Josey Wales story like her husband and children are murdered and she goes out for Revenge

Red Dead Revenge.

Jalva3166d ago

"Love if they made Bonnie Macfarelene the main character, obviously she would be older and have a NEW voice actresses"

Wouldn't make sense, Red Dead Redemption's ending marked the end of the wild west and the birth of modern civilization, the next RDR game will be a prequel, I personally hope it's set a good 50 years before Redemption and has a completely new cast of characters.

-Foxtrot3166d ago

Well they could still have it set a few years later and you could witness the end of the Wild West era

Maybe integrate it into the story about things being built and western looking towns becoming revamped.

Like one half of the map is the outlands , where the Wild West is still active but the other is a changing landscape. I mean by this game the maps will become even bigger

It would be a neatly tied together trilogy before they start to go back and do prequel stuff.

Sciurus_vulgaris3166d ago

I always liked the idea of prequel game. The one I want would be 'Red Dead Damnation' where you play as Dutch and John.

George Sears3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

I would love a new entry towards the franchise but I wouldn't want a sequel. Redemptions ending was great, I don't see a need to add anything more on the story.

This franchise should be treated more so like they do with GTA. Make a new game with new characters, a new story with the possibility of cameo appearances and references of knowable characters just to give it more fluidity towards the lore.

The story of John and his family has already been concluded. In the game you see the transition of the west becoming more modern and industrialized. R* needs to revert back to an era where the west was still wilder and had more outlaws than in Redemption, seeing as in the game outlaws were starting to become a rarity.

showtimefolks3165d ago

I think that's why WAY R* will also look at red dead. now whether they do a sequel or a prequel I am not sure

part of me would love a new red dead set few years after the events of redemption and how the old wild west is coming to an end. but part of me would love a prequel set 30 to 40 years before and we really see how nasty wild west really was

isarai3166d ago

Well they did the golden age of the cowboy with Red Dead Revolver, the end of the cowboy era with Red Dead Redemption, so how about next we get the dawn of the cowboy?

jdaboss3166d ago

its time for something from Rockstar. DLC for gta5 new game or something. tired of all gta all the time.

isarai3166d ago (Edited 3166d ago )

There's literally only been two GTA games in the past decade, meanwhile they've released Bully, Midnight Club 3 and Los Angeles, Manhunt 2, L.A. Noire, The Warriors, Table Tennis, Red Dead Redemption, and Max Payne 3

_-EDMIX-_3166d ago

?? Not the same teams bud, you do know that RockStar North didn't do the actual Red Dead games right? They are not the same teams.

You wouldn't get massive disagrees if you actually just read who makes what.

Rockstar is not just 1 team, I mean..knowing that might have made you think twice about assuming they just did all games at that publisher.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

sooooo take a look at those teams and what they did.

Did you learn something here tonight?

Games take time to make Destiny took 6 years, Horizon as been in development for over 4 years, only 1 year after Red Deads release mind you.

What if they've been working on Red Dead 3 LONGER by 1 year adding up to 5 or so years? What if next E3 is them showing it off for the first time?

What if they've only been working on it for 4 years but need more time then Horizion and its coming spring or fall 2017?

You really need to learn who makes what before making such claims.

GTAV's DLC is also being done by a fraction of the damn team that did GTAV....they've also been done with GTAV since 2013....or did you think that the PS4 and PC ports all 100% of the staff at North worked on it right? I mean...you have to know how DLC is made, how ports are made, who is making them extra.

That is like a damn Star Wars remastered film coming out for 4k and you think that its delaying Star Wars 7.

Do you not get how young and naive that sounds?

That is like saying your tired of EA doing Battlefield all the time and want something new.

Disregard that it is DICE that does BF and not EA as they are the publisher, not a team, disregard further that DICE is made up of several teams.

Or...did you think Star Wars BF was stopping BF5? Or did you think that Mirrors Edge is being done by the same exact people that are working on Star Wars.....

Take the time to really learn who is making your games and who is merely publishing, go a step future and learn how big that team is and if they are even many smaller teams combined into one big team.

It will help you greatly on N4G and within life.

isarai layed out many, many IPs and games they've released over the years. Though they are quite right now, many teams are currently as next gen games take longer to make then past gen ones. They don't have the luxury of just using the same engine like lets say Fallout 4 is doing.

They need to rebuild and design lots of new assets and takes time. We didn't just get GTAIV in 2005 bud....we didn't even get it in 2007, look how how long it took to release after their last gen GTA.

Its not just some damn copy and paste job.

showtimefolks3165d ago

no matter which R* team you are talking about 3 people are the same every where

Sam houser
Dan houser
Leslie benzies

so while you are right R* north are not doing all those games but the executive producers stay the same

so yes next red dead will be made by R* San Diego but still it will be under the control of guys who make gta 5.

these same were producers for la noire
red dead redemption
bully
gta 4
gta 5
and others

_-EDMIX-_3165d ago

They can over see more then one game, don't you wonder how Bully, GTA ,Table Top Tennis etc got done? Why have those other teams?

And those "guys" that do GTA are called RockStar North.

2 people didn't just make GTA...

Clearly they hand some control over to other teams as it would just make no sense to even have OTHER TEAMS.

GTAV was being worked on while they where making Red Dead.

GTAV began in 2009, Red Dead Released in 2010....

I also don't know what you mean with LA Noire. That was a Team Bondi game , its director and producer was not of Rockstar's team other then Josh Needleman.

The director and Producer of that game are both from The Getaway series.

I'm sorry but a producer working on a game doesn't' mean other teams are not doing work. I mean...GTAV's existence sorta ironically disproves that if you consider it was being made during Red Dead's development.

15 PS3 Games That Would Absolutely Shine as PS5 Remakes

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming14d 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-Long14d 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_gaming14d ago

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

purple10114d 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

Skuletor14d 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.

CrimsonWing6914d 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_gaming14d 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.

Inverno14d 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_gaming14d 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

Exvalos28d ago (Edited 28d 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.

anast28d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg28d 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.

Still tryna milk a dried up cow

Red Dead Redemption Title Update 1.04 Notes (PS4 / Switch)

OtterX44d 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.

CobraKai44d 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.

Profchaos44d 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

kaos8944d ago

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

OtterX44d ago (Edited 44d 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.

jznrpg28d 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.

Profchaos44d ago (Edited 44d 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
