Whenever Rockstar pumps out a sandbox title, it is often a top of the crop sandbox title, and of course that much is true about 2010’s phenomenon “Red Dead Redemption” For the Xbox 360.
The game’s story was incredible. It followed the story of 37 year old John Marston trying to rid his mind of his criminal past by getting a full pardon from the government by hunting down and killing members of the gang he once rolled in. The characters in the story are incredibly developed and fun to see interact with each other, from Wes Dickens, to Irish, to Abraham Reyes all the way to John Marston himself. Character interactions in this game were a delight to watch and the suspense of where to go next in the crazy plot line kept me on the edge of my seat every second of this game.
The game play was fun, but of course had flaws. The game felt original and it was easy to maneuver your horse most of the time. Sometimes, the controls would suddenly, and without warning mess up, pushing your house off the road and messing up the camera quite a bit. The controls seemed easy to use most of the time, but they did require getting used to a fair amount of the time. The gun variety was splendid and the missions were all diverse enough to keep my attention through out the entire 21 hour period that I plugged into this game. Though the game had it’s mild flaws, the game itself was a spectacle worth checking out.
The sound in this game was perfect to keep the western atmosphere it was trying so hard to emulate. The sound effects worked perfectly in the “wild west” environment and the music gave a dry, rattle-snake-like feel to the game. The graphics were pretty good, but the game seemed to glitch a fair amount, and sometimes the game even had a hard time loading the vast environment around it. The character expressions could have been polished way more, but all that being said, the map was so large and every square inch had to be rendered, so I understand that some complications with capacity would occur. Overall though the graphics sufficed and I was still able to see the seams on Marston’s jeans, but faces should have been perfected a bit more.
Overall this game was an incredible experience, but just had some bugs that need to be worked out to fully be worth original retail price, however I got this game for only 39.99 and it was worth every penny of that price. The character interactions were amazing and anybody who hasn’t even at least tested this epic, should go out right now and pick up a copy.
Whispers of a potential remake or remaster of Rockstar's classic cowboy epic Red Dead Redemption have intensified.
PC gamers never got RDR1 ... of course gamers are ecstatic.
hell, bring other old titles to PC too, like Killzone 2,3 & shadowfall, infamous 2nd son, MGS4, Uncharted trilogy, TLOU 2, Halo 5, Fable 2, Bad Company 1, Bloodborne, Demon souls, Army of Two, etc ...
PlayStation games probably also no longer have a convenient way to play either with the game on a console Sony isn't willing to emulate it's a bit of a forgotten game like GTA IV
Only be exited if it's a Remake.
If not, then it's likely another crap remaster like the GTA3 remaster.
Supposedly the studio behind GTA remasters is no longer working with Rockstar, like they arent involved with them at all anymore so im curious whos working on this remake if its true.
Hell yes.. I recently went from gaming on Switch OLED to doing all my gaming on my laptop and I definitely wouldn't mind blasting through Killzone on it. Also want Gears 2 and 3 on it as well. All available on Steam would be a mighty blessing as well.
The earliest rumours due this remaster must go back like 10 years basically when the PS4 came out this however is the first time I've felt confident saying it's happening
Eh, I'll believe it when I see it. Also I don't see a remake happening, maybe a remaster, but no way a remake.
Yea, they've never even properly remade a GTA game yet, as much as I'd love to have a RDR remake. Hopefully we'll be proven wrong, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
I actually just started playing the original again for the first time since it originally released. Not sure when this remaster is supposed to be out, but maybe I should just wait.
The Red Dead Redemption remaster may also be coming to Nintendo Switch, judging from some recent findings on the newly updated website
People on Reddit have been saying that the logo they put up says rockstar presents on top of it. Let's hope rockstar does it and it not pushed off onto another untalented house
The switch is just under or about as powerful as the base Xbox One. Why don't you think it can run an Xbox 360 game well?
@Terry_B
I mean, I have. Most if not all older game ports have ran better along with better resolution/Updated graphics. There's a few bad ports here and there but the majority run great.
The Switch would probably run the game better than the 360. I have an original 360 and the game has noticeable frames drops all the time.
Seems more likely that some rockstars games are on the way to a switch 2 when it Launches in 6-12months time
I don't see why not Rockstar dropped LA Noire on the Switch and they dropped that GTA broken trilogy on the Switch as well.
The existence of an alleged Red Dead Redemption remaster grows as the game's achievements get a surprise update, but one element from Rockstar Games is unclear.
Maybe, but the main reason the GTA DE sucks is because it's all based on mobile ports of the games from 2013 and they've just been repurposing that for crap console ports ever since. RDR does not have a crappy mobile port so maybe it'll do better, but we'll see. If it's given to Grove Street Games I'm losing hope 😅
The developer seemed to transition GTA V to PS4 then to PS5 smoothly, will little updates here and there. Perhaps, Rockstar wants a read dead 2 current gen release to be a big step up from the original or they just don’t find a current gen update worthy of their time and effort. I would be happy if they just updated the game with 60fps, and SSD fast loading times.
Fair review, bought this game Saturday and was stunned that I never bought it sooner. ITS SO ADDICTIVE! Im already 9 hours in and it feels like I havent even scratched the surface yet
This Is On My List After La noire
Good review. I almost didn't buy RDR because I'm not that into westerns but I'm so glad I did get it. I bought it day 1 for $60 and I think the game is worth more than the $60 asking price for everything RDR had to offer.
I spent a good 60 hours just in Red Dead's single player playing through the story twice and getting 100%. I bought all the DLC day 1 and spent over 200 hours playing multiplayer and co-op. It took me 12 hours to get 100% in Undead Nightmare. Now I have 100% of the trophies in RDR and It's my favorite game of this generation.
Considering other games that are being sold at full price, I'd say this game is worth more than full price.
Good review though.
