Is Red Dead Redemption sexist?

Red Dead Redemption is a sexist video game that beds its “you know you want it” game play, its pervasive “hey what are you, stuck up?” artistic coercion and its penetrating thematic thrusts on the prone backs of women’s equality and respect. And what’s more, it’s a better game for it – once it leaves before morning.

It is simply depicting an era realistically.

For example, you would not call a movie depicting slavery racist.

MasterChief36244829d ago

Some ignorant folks certainly would call a movie depicting slavery as racist.

Pozzle4829d ago

That's true. It's like the censored version of Huckleberry Finn, which removed all instances of the word "n#gger" from the book because some readers might find it racist. Even though the book was written over 100 years ago and is historically accurate.

Because what better way to combat racism than to completely ignore that it existed/exists? >_>

Galaxia4829d ago

^ Hay, say nigger properly.

What was the author of this article expecting? Did he think John Marston would be going around helping a western womens right movement and fighting for minorities?

I'm glad the films/books/games these types of people make are niche and that hardly anyone experiences them.

Dsnyder4829d ago (Edited 4829d ago )

Depicting anything before 1960 will mean you will have to be offensive in some way. So no.

Another thought that comes from that; it would be terrible if a black guy used a time machine....for the black guy that is.

cruelpixel4829d ago

I think his opinion is a little more nuanced than that. He did discuss that objection.

xlockingupthesunx4829d ago

FFS, the shit people come up with.

ScentlessApprentice74829d ago (Edited 4829d ago )

and vaginized men like Dr. Phil. You see, I threw a man in there. No sexist accusations can legitimately come my way.

Incipio4829d ago

19th century America = sexist, racist and whatever else you wanna throw in there.

Get real, people.

Kon4829d ago

21th century America = sexist, racist and whatever else you wanna throw in there.

Incipio4829d ago (Edited 4829d ago )

A non-American WOULD say that. Are you one of those cool America-haters that likes to spew crap like that?

Boatbird4829d ago

Its more like:
21th century earth = sexist, racist and whatever you wanna throw in there.

we think a little bit clearly now but ignorance always gets the best of us.

cgmike4829d ago

Um..... 1911 (when the game is set) would be the 20th century.

Incipio4829d ago (Edited 4829d ago )

lol I didn't know the game was set in 1911...sure doesn't feel like it. Still...my comment remains true, aside from the fact that I should have said early 20th century.

Kon4829d ago

It is funny how people like you try to deny that...

Eiffel4829d ago (Edited 4829d ago )

Not so much denial as it is incorrect, society now isn't casually as drastically intolerant compared to the early 20th century.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming7d 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-Long7d 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_gaming7d ago

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

purple1017d 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

Skuletor7d 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.

CrimsonWing697d 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_gaming7d 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.

Inverno7d 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_gaming7d 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

Exvalos22d ago (Edited 22d 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.

anast22d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg21d 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.

CobraKai21d 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.

CobraKai37d 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.

Profchaos37d 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

kaos8937d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX37d ago (Edited 37d 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.

jznrpg21d 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.

Profchaos37d ago (Edited 37d 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
