Red Dead Redemption: 360 & PS3 Identical

NowGamer: We've played both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game and we can categorically state that - other than a 600mb install on the Sony console - they're virtually identical...

There's gotta be more differences than that. When was the last multiplatform game that was 100% identical. It doesn't happen. Other than the install and the exclusive content there's gotta be more differences.

The_Count5853d ago

Great news. I was going to get on PS3 anyway as It's all I have. Looking forward to the UK release of Friday.

(Apart from Portal on Pc :) It's free until the 24th btw on steam)

AKS5853d ago (Edited 5853d ago )

Maybe they are talking about meaningful, important differences. Meaning functionally, they look pretty much the same, which is all I really care about. I'm sure fanboys will find lots of insignificant, meaningless discrepancies with closeups of a static captures of a pixelated horse's tail or a slightly inferior rock texture or something to fuel endless internet conflicts. Don't worry, my friend, your time to shine in battle will come.

darthv725853d ago

why would you want there to be more differences? If the game is the same for both then those on either side that are getting it will have the same experience.

Whats so wrong with that?

mikeslemonade5853d ago

Did I say I wanted differences? No. Will there be differences yes there will be because there has never been a multiplatform game this generation that was identical.

HolyOrangeCows5853d ago

Tough luck, xbox fanboys.

I know Splinter Cell, FF13, and Alan Wake left you sweating. Doesn't look like even TEH MULTIPLATS are about to help you out.

Blame the site for this not being in the open zone.

Another One5852d ago

Sorry, but I can't blame the site. It's on you if you can't help but acting like a child.

And it's good to hear there's no real differences. Now my decision is down to exclusive content or the chance that a few friends on Xbox will get the game.

Trey_4_life5852d ago

Once again DVD9 is holding back this rockstar san diego title, just wait for Agent by rockstar north (GTA series) which will utilise the blu-ray and the full power of the ps3.

sixaxis5853d ago

so, we can finally say those neogaf posts were just stupid rumors.

AKS5853d ago

Wasn't the NeoGAF business about resolution? They could differ a bit in resolution and still look pretty much the same, especially in motion. There are many factors that come into play besides the pixel count regarding how a game looks and how it performs.

nveenio5853d ago

How do you figure we can "finally" say anything? You believe everything you read without seeing evidence? I know some churches that would love to have your company.

Hallmark Moment5853d ago (Edited 5853d ago )

No they're not. "virtually identical" is the new way of saying they're the same but leaves room for interpretation?

LOL this no name site has both versions and are the only site talking about both versions. Hmmmm.

Faztkiller5853d ago (Edited 5853d ago )

wasn't u just in another article talking about NeoGaf Being good for the sub HD info

nveenio5853d ago

It would be good to hear if they could have posted some evidence. Having someone say "They're the same" and give no evidence for their conclusion is hardly comforting.

sid4gamerfreak5852d ago

"Red Dead Redemption: 360 & PS3 Identical"

Why am I not surprised?

it is good to hear that hopefully those idiots who say otherwise will get it through their thick skulls

MGRogue20175853d ago (Edited 5853d ago )

Music to my ears.. :)

But.. I shall wait for Digital Foundry to get their hands on the game.

jack_burt0n5853d ago

Digital Foundry is worthless for in depth non bias technical analysis he has been exposed for this time and time again.

You are better off watching as much feeds of both versions or try them both out to get the truth.

BubbleSystemSuck5853d ago

Nice... but i want to see Lensoftruth analysis

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

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.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek83131d ago

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.

darthv72133d ago

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

Lionsguard132d ago

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator132d ago

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.

gold_drake132d ago

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion165d ago

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.

Hypertension140165d ago (Edited 165d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
