IGN continues their coverage of Rockstar's open world Western with part two of their Dan Houser interview.
Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.
More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.
How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.
I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.
I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.
Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.
Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.
They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.
Rockstar says the free upgrade issue affecting Red Dead Redemption Xbox 360 owners requires more time to resolve, with another update expected within five days.
I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.
Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
A detailed comparison of Red Dead Redemption on Switch 2, PS4, and PS5 shows stronger settings, better performance, and a major uplift for Nintendo’s new hardware.
This game is sounding better all the time, definately a day one purchase for me!
It would be cool if in multiplayer you could form a gang to rob banks and stuff like that.
I was a fan of the first but this game looks to be the definitive western experience. Rockstar has to be one of my favorite companies. They constantly redefine open world games. People tend to bash GTA4 but it is the best open world crime game . Yes the story gets a lil extra towards the end but if you just go around the world you will see soooo many different things happening at random. RDR look to be at that quality and MARK MY WORDS .........
RED DEAD REDEMPTION
G.O.T.Y. Contender!
2009 keep the great games coming!
Game is looking real good. The color palette is much nicer than Call of Juarez's. I'm impressed. I just hope gameplay is fun, GTA4 is boring as hell.
this interview was impressive, and makes the game sound really promising, I was excited before, but now I'm over eagerly anticipating this title
