This sounds so much like the pre-release of Grand Theft Auto IV. All the review sites and news media were saying that GTAIV was near perfect to perfect in their reviews. And then the game came out and two years later most of the people on this site are saying it was overrated and disappointing and repetitive and limited by hardware and what not. And here comes Red Dead Redemption. I don't want to be the pessimist here, but I think ultimately I will end up enjoying this game more than most because my expectations for it are not as high as that of others.

schlanz5094d ago

Anymore there are only two kinds of gamers:

Those who seem to enjoy most every game, and those who only complain about every game not being perfect.

Fortunately I fall in the first category.

Anyway you look at it, its great to see the game is getting really high marks. Just imagine what we'd all be thinking if the reviews so far were in the 7-8 range.

Faztkiller5094d ago (Edited 5094d ago )

Does this confirm PS3 is 720p and It says the Install is 494mb I thought it was 700mb
EDIT: Shaman OK Thanks
the screens look great indeed this game will be amazing I can't wait till Tuesday

Shaman5094d ago (Edited 5094d ago )

No it says highest resolution,that means it will up scale native framebuffer res which is most certainly sub hd.

Non the less...this.game.is.totally.am azing.

EDIT. Dont worry,if game is(which most likely will be) 640p with 2xqaa it will look almost the same as if it was 720p 2xMSAA,you would hardly notice it even if it would play side by side.

EDIT.2. Guys bellow...the output that your TV will play is 720p,but native frame buffer is sub hd.Meaning bit less pixels are pushed to TV but still upscaled to 720p,hence the sign on box(720p).

I think UC2 actually says 1080p on box but that means that its highest res that it can be up scaled to,not native.

If the screens in the mag are from the PS3 it looks a lot better then that

EDIT: Hope it don't look like that I'll still get it but I would be disappointed with R*. They could just be some early build screens someone got there hands on

EDIT2:I play on an SDTV with component sometimes and Its nothing like that those screens look like they have no AA May just be the screen quality

ThatCanadianGuy5094d ago

Those are off-screen grabs from an SDTV with a component cable.

What do you guys expect it to look like?

LordMarius5094d ago

Thats why I said poor quality

anyways cant wait to try this

As long as you are talking about it, please explain to me how the resolution works for Ps3 games. When I turn it on and when i'm watching a movie, it's displayed in 1080p. But I played GoW 3 and the TV shifted to 720p. I haven't checked to see if the TV actually plays any of the games in 1080p, but I tried a couple and it drops them to 720p.

I'm asking because I was under the impression that all Ps3 exclusives were displayed in 1080p!

AKS5093d ago

Only a good PC can consistently render AAA games in native 1080p. Most console games are at around 720p. Most of the console games are upscaled if they are displayed in 1080p. WipEout HD and GT5 are exceptions, but even they aren't really 100% 1080p. Less graphically intensive downloadable games might be in 1080p, however.

Since you don't seem to be very familiar with the tech aspects, the important thing to know is that developers definitely DO understand what they are doing and choose 720p because that is the best resolution for their game on a console. 720p can look incredible. Look at Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, and God of War III. You should adjust your priorities and place how a game actually look in real time play to your eyes above a pixel count figure.

Roam” [HD ... Red Dead Redemption: Gameplay Video – Life in the West – Part 2 (HD 720p)Ps3 Version.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5094d ago (Edited 5094d ago )

And those screens it is from a screen, 480p resolution.
People just confirmed that. That guy need an HDTV.

The thing I am worry about both consoles. Is that Multiplayer is Powered by Gamespy, that service is bad at my experience of consoles.

If is there a lot of issues Online, you know why.

Akatosh Fury5094d ago

Thanks for the info. That screens were really bad.

ThanatosDMC5093d ago

Gamespy?! Crap, that means we're gonna lag. Also, some people wont be able to connect/host due to nat type.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming15d 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-Long15d 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_gaming15d ago

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

purple10115d 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

Skuletor15d 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.

CrimsonWing6915d 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_gaming15d 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.

Inverno15d 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_gaming15d 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?

jznrpg29d 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.

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.

CobraKai45d 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

kaos8945d 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.

jznrpg29d 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
