Take-Two's Red Dead Redemption, developed by Rockstar, has exceeded everyone's expectations, selling 5 million units to retailers since launching on May 18. Some doubted that a Western-themed game could really take off, but gamers have embraced the genre it seems.
Take-Two CEO Ben Feder has been ecstatic about the title's success. "Your competitive set is always important. One thing we saw with Red Dead Redemption was that there wasn’t much room in the market for anything but Red Dead. It works in a good way and a bad way. We sucked the oxygen out of the room with Red Dead. We haven’t seen NPD data yet, but I suspect it will show Red Dead had pretty good market share," he said.
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.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.
They already have AI trained to do coding.......
How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.
I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.
As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
it's from rockstar,it needs to suck the okygen :))))
Well-deserved sales for RDR
There's no doubt this is a high high high contender for game of the year. The holiday season is going to have to toss out a few flawless gems to top it.
does literally everybody buy the same games? most people must have identical collections.
But this is no doubt the best open world game I've played since GTA: San Andreas.
