I hope it pays off though, I can see myself putting many hours into this game this summer

nycredude5126d ago

I've read this several time now. However the game looks badass and if it turns out to be just GTA in the western times then fvck it I can't wait. I need me a good Western.

AliTheBrit195126d ago

Likewise

Can't wait, its one of the rare titles I don't have to think twice about buying day 1.

pangitkqb5126d ago

The latest multi-player vids, showing how you and friends can form your own posse and roam the world, look like a whole new level of gaming fun.

nycredude5126d ago (Edited 5126d ago )

I am also very hyped for the free roam mp with support for Posses with up to 8 members. Me and my Mag clan will have some fun on this! Roaming the plains looking for showdowns!!! See you all online if you are getting the ps3 version.

Edit: Although there might be some truth to his comment, there is already someone in the open zone dissing DVD9 and blaming the problems on it. Why can't we all just be friends and enjoy gaming together!?

bnaked5126d ago

"complete nightmare" because of DVD9? ;-)

Redempteur5126d ago

yeah i'm intrested a little ..if the comments from players are good i'll try it .

it's true that they have to implement a lot of thing right for thsi game to be a success

RememberThe3575125d ago

I have to thank them for sticking to it. I don't prefer open world to linear or vice versa, but since a good open world experience seems to be limited to Assassin's Creed and GTA I'm glad to see something new and interesting in an open world environment.

thedisagreefairy5125d ago

u need to try iinFamous out then. really fun open world game.

DARK WITNESS5125d ago

This game has gone from just being on the list of another game to get... GOTY Cotendar.

All I would really like to say to rockstar is; The most satisfying victory comes from the hardest fight.

I Thank God there are Dev's like R* still ready to take risks and invest in tech while keeping their creative imagination active..

They could have just Licensed some crappy engine...

They could have just thrown us an FPS, and then throw us... more FPS games, like a lot of other dev's seem to be doing.

We got something different and hopefully something really special.

ViciousBoston5125d ago

The way R* does business is exactly why they belong with Sony. I say this only because eveyrone talks about Sony buying Take2. R* puts in alot of effort in their games. I will be buying this 100%.

Looks fantastic, can't help but love games based in the Wild Wild West.

FragGen5125d ago

+1. The Western genre is severely under served by gaming. I'm psyched to see something of this quality coming out for it.

Official General5125d ago (Edited 5125d ago )

I played GUN on my old PS2 and that game was brilliant and a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it. GUN was kinda of similar to Red Dead, it was kind of open-world with main missions and side activities and the gameplay was explosive, hard action. We definitely need more games of this variety. I'm looking very forward to Red Dead Redemption. Rockstar are once again getting in my good books. I'm about to buy the PS3 versions of Episodes from Liberty City and next month Red Dead, looking good.

Basil-Rathboner5126d ago

What Mr Houser really means.

Having to constantly compromise our vision to fit on the lowest common denominator ie DVD9 has been a bloody nightmare.

BYE5126d ago

Judging by the trailers RDR could be the most impressive game ever made.

Hopefully it pays off and it sells 10 million or more, Rockstar deserves it for realizing a game like this.

xHarvey5126d ago

Sounds like the train level in Uncharted 2. Once you complete it tho the results pay off.

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

Exvalos29d ago (Edited 29d 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.

anast29d 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.

CobraKai28d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow

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
