Silence, broken with a gunshot. It’s the way of things in westerns. Mexican stand-offs, duels at noon, the bandit pursued across the desert; movies teach us that everything ends with a bullet. Rockstar understands this, and certainly understands bullets. Lead in Red Dead Redemption hits hard. It’s a combination of noisy, mechanical guns and, in Euphoria, a physics engine that plays along. Bullets snap heads backwards and rip men from the saddle. GTAIV’s modern weapons spit bullets like angry hornets until a health circle depletes; here, lives end in uncompromising fashion. For the western aficionado, it is viciously accurate; for the fan of wanton sandbox carnage, it is comically frank.
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.
i don't see this game getting any 8's or even 7's anytime soon
GOTY
It better not be just hype this time.
Edge is one of the most serious magazines for me.
i dont understand the GTA4 hate, it was a solid 9 game but not the 97 metascore it currently has, an excellent game but not the second coming alot of reviewer said it was
do you guys not like excellent games?
i was never into gta, and when i actually wanted to try it out i bought gta4 and it was boring imo and horrible. i felt like a message boy running around doing errands for people. this game however seems to be different. although the gameplay mechanics maybe similiar, it has this sense of freshness in it which may make me enjoy this alot better then gta4. plus im not running around shooting prostitutes and getting my money back.
