the first Red Dead Revolver game was great, so I'm hoping this will be too. My only concern is that it isn't trying to be a spaghetti western anymore

I can't tell the difference from the Call of Juarez series.

Loved the first one, hope they don't go open world with this.

I thought it was confirmed open world? Or maybe I'm just thinking it was confirmed on that Rockstar engine.

TVC15 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:01:27 PM »

Yeah, it's open world :-/ probably more Gun 2 than Red Dead Revolver 2. Another Rockstar flopza.

Sam Houser:

"The seamless combination of breathtaking beauty and intense action, all woven together with strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment is mind-blowing. We think this game helps to push the limits of what an open-world gaming experience can be."

This sounds shitty too. Take the game off your radar:

Quote

Red Dead Redemption is the story of former outlaw John Marston and will take place at the turn of the 20th century when the "lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age."

I don't want cowboys vs. industrial age. Tht's really gay. Early 20th century is too late.

TVC15 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 06, 2009, 07:55:42 PM »

From the trailer it also looks like the sort of game that won't feature midget clowns. This is hardly a sequel to Red Dead Revolver in any way other than name.

i'd be disappointed if it wasn't open world.

It's definitely B- gaming, but it has character and it's pretty fun. It has a few annoying levels, but I remember most of the annoying ones being pretty short. On the other hand, it's a few years old now, so who knows if it holds up.

co-signed. I remember it being a pretty great rental but I didn't fall in love with it or anything. It was a fair bit better then Gun though.

I tried playing it on the 360 a few weeks ago and thought it held up well. Problem is that it has graphical issues on the 360 BC, so I bought it again on the PS2 for like $4.

It's the second best western game on the Xbox/last gen behind Oddworld Stranger.

And I'm happy that Redemption is open world. Oddworld Stranger was awesome for letting you take on bounties, then finding the guys and taking them out/down. It would be a lot more fun than riding a boat with Brucie for 10 minutes while nothing happens.

Call of Juarez was an awkward FPS with a shitty demo. This is likely to be a 3rd person perspective action shooter. Next you'll be telling me you can't tell the difference between A Fist Full of Dollars and Yojimbo. :-P

The first RDR was not open world, and it didn't need to be.

Rage Engine looks better than ever.

Looks cool. I kinda wish it was a bit more spaghetti western than the Deadwood-ish thing they're going for, but w/e. The thing that bothers me most is that it seems to be the same sub-30 fps that GTA4 was. I thought that after 2 years with the engine they could make it run smooth on consoles.

Cravis · « **Reply #29 on:** December 01, 2009, 12:37:20 PM »

I'm looking forward to this. I loved Gun. I wished we would see a sequel but this will do. I've been playing Call of Juarez 2 and really enjoying it. I'm a sucker for the western setting. Here's hoping Rockstar puts lots of reasons to explore the western frontier in this one besides just getting from point A to point B.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #30 on:** December 01, 2009, 05:41:01 PM »

Yeah, GUN was pretty fucking awesome outside of that bullshit boss fight at the end and since it doesn't look like we'll ever see another one, RDR is looking like a fine substitute.

GUN is sadly underrated. The only thing I'd liked to have changed would be to put the towns further apart. In Red Dead Revolver, the town's a hub and each mission has its own map. Those were nice because they're not slaved to the Open World Game need to multipurpose any given piece of landscape, but also because the move to the new territory can /kinda/ imply additional distance between locales.

Then again, I'm probably the only guy who liked that "feature" of Fable 2's various map locations.

I watched the IGN video and just posted the gametrailers link because it's more accessible. Still really choppy at parts.

At least for the shooting sections it seems manageable $:-\$

and trailer didn't say PC at the end. I'll end up buying it for 360.

The saddest part of the above is that Red Dead Redemption (the game the entire studio is working on) is an organic disaster of the most epic proportions. The pain just might be worth it for everyone if the work was worldclass and they could proudly place it on their resumes as they walk away from that mess. Sadly, it is anything but, and Bitter is correct mismanagement up and down the Rockstar chain is the direct cause. Red Dead Revolver 2: Dead On Arrival.

I hope that's not entirely true. Even with all their problems the game is looking fucking brilliant, at least in the trailers. Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2, and Just Cause 2 are all I really want or need right now.

chronovore · « **Reply #54 on:** January 09, 2010, 09:55:42 AM »

I have to say, with as awesome as the western-movie-themed trailers have been, I was hopeful, but the droll voice-over and exposition in the recent "gameplay trailer" left me pretty cold. I'm still Day 1 on this but less hopeful.

Its probably some angry employee comment and the whole situation is nothing new in game industry,there is a deadline,millions of dollars are spent every month and the management is going berserk.

hopefully that's not all true. I have been hyped for this one since it was revealed.

chronovore · « **Reply #57 on:** January 09, 2010, 11:55:20 PM »

It's probably OK; the devs themselves lose perspective on what they're working on as the deadline approaches: is this really fun? what are we giving up our weekends for? christ, maybe I should be doing financial coding; I hear they make bank. They go home and tell their spouse about their crappy day and how much the game sucks, and the spouse gets even more concerned: not only are they watching their loved one be "abused," but apparently it's for no good reason. (Note: in late '90s and early '00s at EA, it was for no good reason)

In the end it is hard to know up from down. I won a hundred bucks off a guy on the team who predicted our last game would Metacritic at 67%, and I knew we'd at least get mid-seventies. As it turned out, we were an 85% so my perspective was pretty shot as well. The game sold great, and all the crap we thought we'd get killed for was never even mentioned once in any review.

chronovore · « **Reply #58 on:** January 25, 2010, 06:27:05 PM »

I'm taking your statement to mean you think the GTA IV engine (RAGE) is good, but that GTA IV was a disappointment. To that end, you may want to pick up The Ballad of Gay Tony, which had a lot of hallmarks of the GTA III-era games: crazy characters, badass action, and even some unlockable rewards for finishing side missions. In as much as that, the engine has found itself a worthy game already.

But if you just want to talk about pretty, yeah, that's gorgeous. RDR is a day one purchase for me: Asian versions from play-asia.com
