G4TV Red Dead Redemption Review

"In the interest of saving some of you time, let me start by saying this: If you’re a fan of Grand Theft Auto IV, or even just the idea of GTA, and you like westerns -- and you wanted so much more from Red Dead Revolver, or you missed it completely like I did -- you can stop right here in your internal debate over whether or not to pick up Red Dead Redemption. I might not need to convince of you much more. For the rest of you cowpokes riding the cattle ranch fence about Rockstar San Diego’s amazingly joyous open-world western game, saddle up and leave that skeptical piece of wood behind. Red Dead Redemption is the real McCoy with a bullet… lots of them."

This may over take GTA4 as highest scored game this gen

niceguywii605150d ago

I hope so but it seems like the game is not getting enough perfect scores out of the gate.

BeaArthur5150d ago

Doubtful. 98 on metacritic will be damn hard for any game to surpass.

Faztkiller5150d ago (Edited 5150d ago )

If Uncharted 2, GOW3, and ME2 can't I don't know what can GTA4 good game but is Overrated

Well, no matter what its going to be very high up on the list

My bet? Highest scoring game of 2010

The one reason why GTA4 has a 98 is because it the reviews its based on. Its based on only 64 while uncharted 2 is based on 105. Honestly Uncharted 2 would have easily passed as the highest rated this generation if GTA4 was reviewed by more people. 105 critics = 96 while GTA4 is based on 64 add another 41 and I'm positive GTA4 would have dropped to 92 possibly

bjornbear5150d ago

but i'm sure it was a butt hurt 360 fanboy...

you make perfect sense, and its true, the less reviews you have, the more extreme your score will be (good or bad)

bviperz5150d ago

Which is why Metacritic shouldn't be taken so seriously. It's not as accurate as some people make it out to be. Just the fact that the review sites for each game released aren't the same tells you something, even for games on the same platform.

Glad I pre-ordered this on Amazon. Release Date Delivery FTW!

Red Dead Redemption 1 Isn't As Good As People Remember It To Be

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

just_looken3d ago

I love how it seems a extreme few remember that red dead redemption is red dead revolver 2.

red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.

I remember all the bugs the game had day one like donkey lady so dam funny

Cacabunga3d ago

RDR1 is a legendary game!!!

Really how to cope with a slow news day…

just_looken3d ago

@caca

I know i said that

Oh boy let me guess no one here knows what red dead revolver is

Or you all never played version 1.0 of rdr 1 i bet its that so many on here have the stench of being in gaming for 10 years at most.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Stop pretending being superior in knowledge to everyone else..

The article title is about RDR1 and the thumbnail also confirma that. No one (at least i dont) care about what you say about RDRev.

You are the only one who spoke off topic abt another game.
If it makes you glad that you are the only one who knows what RDRev is then congratulations.. just pathetic

“ red dead revolver now that is rough red dead redemption for its time was groundbreaking and it still has way better cover system/dlc/mp content then red dead 2.”

Oh and thanks for the laugh ..

jznrpg2d ago

They didn’t name it Red Dead Revolver 2. They named it Red Dead Redemption

neutralgamer19922d ago

Looken

It was made by Capcom until they gave up and R* bought the IP. Hopefully one day we get a complete remake of the original to bring it in line with rest of the series along with other quality if life features. Another great is Gun very under rated

On topic:

If we are going to compare RDR to current generation games then we will surly find some stuff that's lacking but for it's time it was a masterpiece and for me it's one of the best games I have ever played. I hope it ends up on Pc where nodding community can take full advantage and make the game even better. Other than that's no it's not overrated at all. We don't even get that many western games and it's to me the best one (yes better then RDR2)

jeromeface2d ago

is also so damn funny how no one agrees with you

Junk article. Game was dope and still is. The swimming part sucks though.

just_looken3d ago

It does but the game was made originally for ps2 back after san andreas so for the dev window and timeline it makes sense.

just_looken3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

red dead revolver was back in 2004
https://www.gamesradar.com/...

after this they were making gta iv and a squeal that became read dead redemption

But you all will hate this because facts are scary

"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.

From a 2010 article hmm what is 2010 - 6 hmmm

https://www.engadget.com/20...

The swimming in red dead one made sense for the time period and dev hell it was in

Again though it seems alot on here have 0 game knowledge before 2018.

jambola2d ago

Nobody asked about or mentioned revolver
Why are you bringing it up in every reply?

shinoff21832d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Just looken

I could agree with you about the swimming part but I was swimming my ass off in San Andreas which pre dates

Either way it's not a deal breaker and the game was dope af

-Foxtrot3d ago

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.

The Best Cowboy Games on the PS4

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.
