Tech Digest: Red Dead Redemption Review

Tech Digest writes: "The sun bears down on a dusty, scorched town, the only island of habitation for miles in a sea of sand and rock. You ride in and hitch your horse. All is quiet barring the throaty spit of the degenerate waiting at the far end of the main drag. His posse have terrorised the local townsfolk into submission, the pretty price on his head having brought you here. You square up, tense but focused. He reaches for his revolver. You fire off a single round, its crack echoing through the empty streets, scaring crows from the rafters of a nearby saloon. He sighs and crumbles. The streets are returned to silence. You mount your horse and ride out, knowing that whatever place you reach, violence is the only certainty you'll meet."

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?!’

Alek83176d 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.

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

Lionsguard177d ago

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

TheColbertinator177d 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.

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

Petebloodyonion210d 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.

Hypertension140210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

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