Game Pro: Red Dead Redemption Review

Game Pro: In the fifteen hours it took me to clear Red Dead Redemption's expansive core campaign, the thing I found myself most surprised by was how consistently likable rough-and-tumble protagonist John Marston remained throughout. He's a stark contrast to Red Harlow, the star of 2004's Red Dead Revolver; that character was built in the mold of Clint Eastwood's "Man With No Name" and rarely spouted an unnecessary syllable. Marston, on the other hand, shares more in common with Unforgiven's tragic hero Bill Munney: he's a family man who is unceremoniously thrust back into a past life he can't leave behind. He's one of a dying breed of sunset riders who are facing extinction and are doomed to go out in a hail of gunfire.

Ahhh.. *faints* :)

UltraNova5857d ago

5/5 great score! Wait does gamepro give anything else than 5/5?

MGRogue20175857d ago (Edited 5857d ago )

Hold up.. Hold up! O.o

Let's see here.. Right, They are reviewing the 360 version here.. Now check this out:

"CONS: Errand missions can get a bit tiring; occasional pop-in"

Notice that part..? "Occasional Pop-in"

I can remember a site who reviewed the PS3 version said that it had no pop-in at all.

Guys, PS3 version is the winner. :)

DelbertGrady5857d ago (Edited 5857d ago )

Jeez...

Better install it to the HDD then. Can't have "occasional pop-in on the errand missions" now can we? ;)

bjornbear5857d ago

you are motivating retarded 360 fans to troll all over the place in these articles

stop.

they are identical, one having extra content.

deal with it.

Gamer_Z5857d ago

I'm not going to say the PS3 version is better but i hope the rumors about it being sub hd are wrong.

SPARTANVI5857d ago

Or are you actually trying to convince people with Xbox360's to buy a PS3 just so they can play RDR without pop-ups (and perhaps in sub-720p)?

In due time you will realize how insignificant these moments of console-pride (not going to use the f-word) are to the rest of your life. Hint: Sony will not thank you...

But of course, if you do own Sony stock, or are employed by Sony, then carry on!

SPARTANVI5855d ago

With the facts? http://n4g.com/news/525730/...

Or with my commentary about how none of this will matter in life. Someone tell me how arguing about anything on an internet forum about console A vs. console B will have any significance in your life. Hell, I'm just wasting time..

JasonPC360PS3Wii5857d ago

I'll take once in a while pop in over no AA and super jaggies any day

15 hours? That's it!!! The core campaign is ONLY 15 hours! So side quests account for 50 hours!? I know the game will be great and I have it paid off but come on 15 hours!

Pennywise5857d ago

You know most of the time spent on this game will be online shooting faces off!

Aphe5857d ago

Whats wrong with 15 hours? Plus all the rest of the stuff you can do adds up to a hell of a lot of game for your money. Pfft, some people.....

bloodybutcher5857d ago

hey, remember gta4 and a trophy for getting through main story in less then 30 hrs?it took me 12 hrs.but no side missions,no screwing around.i'm sure that if you'll try and enjoy it with a slower pace...:)

nycredude5857d ago (Edited 5857d ago )

It's an open world Rockstar game at 15 hour core gameplay. That is short no matter what you say. However like pennywise said online will make up for it. I am not complaining as i have it paid off but even Darksiders was longer!!!

@bloodybutcher
Trust me I am going to enjoy the heck outa the game and i know it will take me way longer than 15 hours. i was just wondering if this is true or not. Haven't heard it from anywhere else yet. BTW how the heck you finish GTA 4 ub 12 hours!??

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?!’

Alek83135d 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.

darthv72137d ago

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

Lionsguard136d ago

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

TheColbertinator136d 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_drake136d 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

Petebloodyonion169d 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.

Hypertension140169d ago (Edited 169d ago )

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