I think the success of gta 5 and more importantly the online aspect has made Rockstar a tad lazy let's face it if the gta 5 online didn't make as much as it currently does with them shark cards then we would of definitely seen another game by now from rockstar to keep there shareholders happy.

But with the success of gta5 online there is no need to rush and can take as much time as they want they have money coming in daily from 3 year old game.

Lon3wolf2905d ago

That's the way I am seeing things, happy if they prove me wrong though.

Nitrowolf22905d ago (Edited 2905d ago )

Rockstar has always had big gaps between r3leases though.

Not saying that shark cards arent playing an I fluency cause they probably are, in fact I expexlct them in the next red dead. ACE cards or something along those lines

krypt19832905d ago

That's doesn't matter rockstar sd make rdr not rockstar north two different teams that's why rdr blows gta v out of the water rdr online is even boat loads better then gta online

MasterCornholio2905d ago

Pretty much. The game was already popular on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

However it's nice that the Xbox One can play this title via BC.

thrust2905d ago

Looks like people played it on 360,PS3 and now the Xbox one (if they want)

KwietStorm_BLM2905d ago

You're making too much sense for a post on the internet. Needs more current events sensationalism.

Take Two Interactive will be at Gamescom. Maybe we'll see RDR 2 revealed at the show? Or maybe they're just bringing existing games like Mafia 3 to Germany...

I would imagine that there are a lot of new gamers coming into age now that are interested in playing a great western game. Even though it's six years old, it definitely withstands the test of time. A great game is a great game. I might just fire up the PS3 and mosey into the sunset again :)

gangsta_red2905d ago

I have seriously never played this game but have always heard how fantastic it was. Just one more reason why BC is very important and an excellent option to have for your system.

jb2272905d ago

Never played Red Dead? C'mon dude you're slipping....it is good to have the game available on current gens though for those who sell their old systems for new gens. You should definitely try it out. I typically don't finish stories or dive deep into side content for Rockstar titles like GTA, but Red Dead is easily the best campaign in Rockstar's history. For like $7 or whatever they were selling it for on the Xbox store it is worth every penny & then some.

gangsta_red2905d ago

I don't know what at the time prevented me from playing the game. It was always on the back burner, it just kept getting pushed more and more back.

But I will definitely pick it up now and leave it on the back burner for my Xbox One.

TKCMuzzer2905d ago (Edited 2905d ago )

@gangsta_red
Hold on, you never bought it last gen as it was always on the back burner, yet you will purchase it on the Xbox One and still put it on the back burner.
It sounds like you are buying it to endorse BC on your console of choice. Best thing to do is buy it, then play it, thats a better reason.

Come to think of it, wasn't RDR part of a PS + plus month......................... ..yep, oooh, might give me PS3 a boot and download this, nice.

slate912904d ago

@tkcmuzzer

Buying it for $7.50 now and putting it on the back burner for later. Whats wrong with that? The game will be tied to his xbl account permanently so no rush...

Errorist762905d ago

You can't be serious...why would you miss that?! Too young?!

Filmicfps2904d ago

He might not have had time. Some people have jobs and other priorities. They might also have prioritized other games at the time with the intention of coming back to it later. It shouldnt be so hard to understand dude

ziggurcat2905d ago

red dead redemption is a must play - last i read it was $7 on the xbox store (?), which is an absolute steal for a brilliant game.

Yui_Suzumiya2904d ago

Dude, it's the one great game Rockstar have made (besides L.A. Noire which they helped develope) so get on it!

neutralgamer19922905d ago

Just smh so you think it selling well last Gen didn't already warrant a sequel?

Gamer logic 2016

Imalwaysright2905d ago

I agree but the game getting acknowledgement 6 years after the original release enforces the idea that a sequel would be a commercial success.

neutralgamer19922905d ago

Really so selling 14 plus million wasn't enough of a proof for that

Imalwaysright2904d ago (Edited 2904d ago )

English is not my language so I have to ask: did I say otherwise?

It has been 6 years since RDR and no word from Rockstar on a sequel so yeah, the success of this game through X1 BC is a reminder to them that gamers are interested in this IP and not just in GTA.

neutralgamer19922904d ago

Lol I am sorry if I came across wrong I was also agreeing with what you said lol

Liqu1d2904d ago

They already pretty much confirmed another Red Dead is coming.

MilkMan2905d ago

Aren't they making a sequel already? Didn't something leak?

Lon3wolf2905d ago

Wasn't that unconfirmed assets etc. that made their way onto the net?

IIFloodyII2905d ago

TakeTwo pretty much confirmed a sequel was coming ages ago, since then there's been a few leaks here and there but nothing absolutely concrete (not easily faked).

MasterCornholio2905d ago

Take Two tends to take their time with their games.

As far as I know they even were about to reveal it at Sony's E3 conference but cut it out because a Saloon shooting scene was too similar to the Orlando shooting.

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_looken5d 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

Cacabunga4d ago

RDR1 is a legendary game!!!

Really how to cope with a slow news day…

just_looken4d 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.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d 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 ..

jznrpg4d ago

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

neutralgamer19924d 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)

jeromeface4d ago

is also so damn funny how no one agrees with you

@neutralgamer1992

Really so that gaint R symbol on the box is just a myth

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

just_looken5d 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_looken4d ago (Edited 4d 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.

jambola4d ago

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

shinoff21834d ago (Edited 4d 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

-Foxtrot4d 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.
