Make Use Of: No genre is as iconic as the American Wild West. It’s the only one to blend elements of exploration, establishment, and expansion with a healthy dose of cool cowboy heroism. You don’t need to be an American to appreciate the unique landscape of the Wild West, and it’s a shame that there aren’t many mainstream games based on that time period.
Save for a few outliers, most Wild West video games have been buried beneath the sands and forgotten to the passage of time. However, if you want to inject a serving of the Wild West into your gaming sessions, you really need to check out these awesome games.
Rockstar Games had considered making Red Dead Redemption and GTA movies at one point, but had ultimately dropped the idea.
Both would make more sense as a series than as movies, though I think Red Dead would be far easier to adapt.
RDR would work really well. From the GTA universe, IV would work really well because of how gritty and realistic the story is.
RDR 1 was a great game, but the lack of screen time for some characters, boring horse riding, and lack of mission variety takes away the fun at times.
Yeah
It's as good as you remember
Feels like one of those "10 HARSH realities of Re-watching" articles
I liked it a bit better because I didn’t think it had many “small nitpicky” things RDR2 had that on its own meant nothing but when a lot built up it was annoying. For example getting off your horse and you had to reselect your weapons again or walking around the camp slowly. None issues but built up with others sometimes it was a little frustrating at times.
Yeeehaw! Howdy, partner! Saddle up and mosey on down to check out the best western-themed video games you can rustle up on the PS4 today.
While not on the PS4, if you want a pretty imaginative and downright fun Cowboy game you should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Not only is it a great arcade FPS in its own right but one that has some Narrative Elements that interact with the Gameplay in a pretty surprising and novel way. Something a few of the AAAAAAAA games should be looking at in order to marry the Narrative with the Gameplay better.
The best part is that you can get it for a few dollars on GOG or STEAM during their sales.
Red dead is a masterpiece, call of Juarez games are great, minus the cartel one
I think an assassin's creed would be great in the wild west.
Red Dead REVOLVER !!!......best ever....beat that game on hard and you have done something....
I felt Darkwatch was an underrated game, Strangers Wrath definitely should be there as well....one of my all time faves.....Gun.Smoke great arcade classic...
I will never forget Gun, that game holds a very special place in my heart...RDR was equally as memorable however. Never played any of the others!
