Title: Red Dead Redemption
Post by: Kermit, B. on February 05, 2009, 11:34:36 AM
Red Dead Revolver (http://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadrevolver/index2.htm) was, without a doubt, the best Western game I've played, and it was one of my overall favorites on the original Xbox.  It's backwards-compatible on the 360 for you guys interested in trying it out, and it's only $5 used (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=32762).  Rockstar is making a sequel called Red Dead Redemption (http://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption/) for the 360 and PS3 due out this fall.  It's going to be open-world, sandbox style Western game.  Hopefully, they will keep the old controls and not make it control like GTA IV.

So you say.

Anyway, I saw this yesterday and thought to myself, I says, "Self, that game sounds familiar."  Anyway, I thought Red Dead Revolver was a 360 title, but I was wrong.  I checked out some of the screenshots of Red Dead Redemption and it looks flat out amazing.  I hope the screens aren't CGI.  The producers were saying in a bit from IGN or TeamXBOX that they were extremely happy with the way their development team has stretched the bounds of the open-world, sandbox genre with the visuals and...I guess, open-worldedness.

It's due out Fall 2009.

Much to my surprise, this thread has nothing to do with whether or not the WardOn's ghost would be chasing Red.

Debut trailer (http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14320288/red-dead-redemption/videos/reddead_trl_wildwest_50509.html).  Sweet.

Jury's still out:  Wolfenstein, Dark Void (I think this game could end up being pretty badass), Fight Night Round 4, Assassin's Creed 2, Deus Ex 3, Half-Life 2: Episode III

Half Life 2: Ep III should be great.  Then again, I'm just a HL fanboy.  Can't wait to see how they integrate Aperture Science into it.  Didn't like Bioshock, but I played it on the PC and it just played like a clunky console FPS and I don't like FPS games on consoles.  I know I'll have to get Lego Rock Band just to grab songs off it (and all the lego games are just fun anyway).  I'm still playing catch up with games since I just bought the 360 about a month ago.  Right now I'm loving Fable 2 and will have to DL that Knothole Island pack and the new pack they announced.  Still want to get Skate 2 but not until I've exhausted Skate 1 and I can find it cheap.  Also have to get that Lost and the Damned for GTA IV.

I was surprised by how much I liked Fable 2.  Peter Molyneux is full of shit, but that was actually a pretty good game.  If you want to try some co-op, shoot me an invite.  GT: Bad Kermit

Yeah, I haven't gotten into much of the online play on any xbox game yet.  Definitely want to check it out with that game and the Rock Band.  I liked the first Fable a lot so I knew I'd like this one.  I could have sworn you could jump in the first one but can't in the second.

I agree about HL2.  I'm really skeptical about BioShock 2 because like you, I thought it was a pretty terrible FPS (both on PC and console), but the story/environment made up for it.  If the sequel doesn't have a good story (Ken Levine isn't working on it), it will be awful.  I still have to play the first Dead Rising and Beyond Good & Evil; especially the latter.  As for Redemption, I never played Revolver, but this game sounds pretty sweet.  My list is probably:

1. Assassin's Creed 2
2. Mass Effect 2
3. HL2: Episode III
4. Uncharted 2
5. Ghostbusters
6. Modern Warfare 2

I'm on the fence with Prototype, Dark Void, and Batman: Arkham Asylum.

BioShock had many, many things wrong with it's combat engine, which I'm pretty sure I have talked about in detail in another thread.  As for Dead Rising and Beyond Good & Evil, I have no excuse.  Speaking of BG&E, I just saw a new trailer for the sequel.  If this is even close to gameplay footage, it's going to be incredible:

That's what I've heard.  I bought it on Steam like a year ago, but there's some weird issue with that version that either just causes problems with my system setup, or can be solved in some way I'm too lazy to attempt.  Either way, I think I'm going to borrow it from my roommate to play over the summer.  It's a lot like the Zelda games, isn't it?

I agree about HL2.  I'm really skeptical about BioShock 2 because like you, I thought it was a pretty terrible FPS (both on PC and console), but the story/environment made up for it.  If the sequel doesn't have a good story (Ken Levine isn't working on it), it will be awful.  I still have to play the first Dead Rising and Beyond Good & Evil; especially the latter.  As for Redemption, I never played Revolver, but this game sounds pretty sweet.  My list is probably:

1. Assassin's Creed 2
2. Mass Effect 2
3. HL2: Episode III
4. Uncharted 2
5. Ghostbusters
6. Modern Warfare 2

I'm on the fence with Prototype, Dark Void, and Batman: Arkham Asylum.

And you want to be a game developer?  SHAME ON YOU.

He's also more excited about the sequel to Assassin's Creed than any other game. The first 30 minutes of that game: awesome. Playing a loop of basically the same 30 minutes through 9 iterations: fucking snoozefest

The graphics were sweet, but fuck that noise again, and again, and again. I never finished and I have no desire to pick it back up.

Yeah, Red Dead Revolver was great.  I'm sure I'll pick up Redemption but damn there are too many games coming out I know I'll want to pick up.

My must-haves for the remainder of 2009:
1.  Ghostbusters
1a.  Beatles Rock Band
2.  Red Dead Redemption
3.  Beyond Good and Evil 2
4.  Dead Rising 2
5.  BioShock 2

That list wasn't really in any particular order.  But from what I've read about this game, they've fixed a large majority of the problems with the first.  I agree that the repetition was annoying as shit.

Did they fix the "glitch" where you could tape down the "block" button, go brew a pot of coffee, rub one out, read the paper, wash the dishes, rub another one out, and return to find your guy in perfect health? Because that was pretty stupid.

BioShock had many, many things wrong with it's combat engine, which I'm pretty sure I have talked about in detail in another thread.  As for Dead Rising and Beyond Good & Evil, I have no excuse.  Speaking of BG&E, I just saw a new trailer for the sequel.  If this is even close to gameplay footage, it's going to be incredible:

http://kotaku.com/5246177/is-this-new-beyond-good--evil-2-footage?skyline=true&s=x

BG&E was absolutely terrific.

That's what I've heard.  I bought it on Steam like a year ago, but there's some weird issue with that version that either just causes problems with my system setup, or can be solved in some way I'm too lazy to attempt.  Either way, I think I'm going to borrow it from my roommate to play over the summer.  It's a lot like the Zelda games, isn't it?

It had some similarities, but it was definitely more of an action game.

I didn't hear 1943 was releasing late on PC late until the other day.  I have almost no interest in it as a console game.  1942 was one of the best PC shooters I've ever played, so I have high hopes for 1943, but I'm guessing it's not going to be that great.

Call of Juarez was stupid.  Red Dead was the greatest Western game since Sunset Riders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmcuZUNkLFc).

Too bad Sunset Riders is the greatest game in the history of games and nothing will ever top it.

I've never played Red Dead Revolver.  Maybe I should find it in some big box store's bargain bin or something?

Or get it used for around $5 + shipping:

I've been hitting up this Disc Replay store once a week to pick something up and the amount of cheap in there is ridiculous.  I know there are a few around the burbs, don't know about the city.  It's probably marked under $5 there and they always take a a buck or five off of whatever I buy if I ask.

No, but it's backwards-compatible (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm).  Seriously, it's worth playing.

Thank.  God.

QuoteThese primary missions will be fairly lengthy, so much so that Rockstar is implementing restart checkpoints in some so that if you should fail, you don't have to repeat the entire challenge over again. "Some of them have long rides in them, and we've tried to make them as fun and as interesting as we could manage, but you may not wish to repeat it so you won't have to. I think in terms of missions there's slightly less than in a GTA game but they're longer in length."

Goodie gumdrops is right.  Now you'll have all that extra time to go out in the city of Chicago and enjoy the weather and the numerous amounts of bars and unbelievably hot women dressed in little jean skirts and tank tops and being drunk and showing their tits and not caring what they do b/c they're also in college like you and like to have secks with drunken strangers and let you jizz on their titties and face and then don't care if you never call them again. 

Oh.  Wait. 
You can just play that level again faster I guess.

It was annoying, but it only really pissed me off on the mission where you have to kill everyone at that construction site and when you have to kill a bunch of guys in this apartment complex, chase a dude up to the roof, kill him, and then get out of the area after the cops come.  Both of those got me to stop playing the game for a while.

That's kind of what I like about the GTA games.  Those really hard missions that make you take a break for a while.  Make the game last.  I'd rather have a game like that than one I run through in a week like nothing.

Isn't that bad on the system?

And was there a varying difficulty level on GTA IV? Because I don't remember it to be as hard as all of you said it was.

I know I've done a couple of the long winded ones.  Eh, I'll get back to it when I get back to it.  Probably when that expansion thingie drops in price for a week I'll grab that and start up the regular game again.

Having this love/hate relationship with Skate 1 right now.

I don't remember if there were different difficulty settings, but I can vouch for myself that I sucked at it because Niko controlled like a tank.

This is the point where I tell Chad that it's 10:30 in the morning and I've already had secks today, and then he says something along the lines of, "What's his name and what game system is he on?"  If he'd just admit his true feelings, that he's madly in love with me and is frustrated that I won't reciprocate, this could all end.

QuoteThese primary missions will be fairly lengthy, so much so that Rockstar is implementing restart checkpoints in some so that if you should fail, you don't have to repeat the entire challenge over again. "Some of them have long rides in them, and we've tried to make them as fun and as interesting as we could manage, but you may not wish to repeat it so you won't have to. I think in terms of missions there's slightly less than in a GTA game but they're longer in length."

Good.  The lack of checkpoints killed GTA IV for me.

It was annoying, but it only really pissed me off on the mission where you have to kill everyone at that construction site and when you have to kill a bunch of guys in this apartment complex, chase a dude up to the roof, kill him, and then get out of the area after the cops come.  Both of those got me to stop playing the game for a while.

That's kind of what I like about the GTA games.  Those really hard missions that make you take a break for a while.  Make the game last.  I'd rather have a game like that than one I run through in a week like nothing.

Unfortunately, that's also the worst way to start playing the game again.  Back on Gran Turismo 3, I stopped playing for a few months, and the first race I played after that time was one of those 2 hour endurance races.  I left my PS2 on for a solid week before getting through it.  That apartment complex mission in GTA IV took a while to do.

Not only are you a retarded loser that plays way to many video games, your sense of time and space is waaaaay off.

God you're a pain in the ass.

Then use Astroglide. You two aren't fooling anyone.

This is the point where I tell Chad that it's 10:30 in the morning and I've already had secks today, and then he says something along the lines of, "What's his name and what game system is he on?"  If he'd just admit his true feelings, that he's madly in love with me and is frustrated that I won't reciprocate, this could all end.

Just b/c you changed your facebook status to "in a relationship" doesn't mean you have secks in the morning.  At least not with a lady.  Sticking your dong in the PSbox790 doesn't count either.  Look, maybe at first we had something, and that was part of my frustration with you, but now it's to the point where I'm passed that.  It's now that you're a complete toolish loser.

I think Kerm talked me into Redemption, but I was already intrigued by Mafia II.  The console version of Mafia was craptacular, at least how I remember it.  This new iteration looks absolutely gorgeous.  There were some awesome videos of it on GameTrailers a few weeks back if you're interested in looking them up.

I have 650 energy, and keep spending all my money on new property.  I have very little attack, defense, health or stamina, and I never fight people.  I see absolutely no reward for anything I do in that game.  Yet, I continue to play it day after day.

There are new jobs and some other things are coming soon. I actually have won 5500 fights. I mix fighting and jobs.

I don't get it.  Are you saying that's where I can find the Untraceable Cell Phone?  I know what job they drop in, but it's the same one that also drops the Concealable Camera and Computer Set-Up, so I have to do that job (and the one that gets you Blackmail Photos) like 100 times each just to be able to get enough items to then do the Underboss jobs 20+ times each.  I should have spent all my points on Attack and Defense.

Yeah, that's what I've done.  But what does leveling up get you?  More levels?  More money, which really amounts to nothing?  So far it seems like the only kind of reward system is a leaderboard for robberies and kills.  The developers have managed to make a game requiring absolutely no skill that gives you absolutely no rewards, and yet is unbelievably addictive.  These people are geniuses.

The problem is that there's no way to systematically amass the items you need to master these jorb tiers.  I think I need about 100 more blackmail photos to finish mastering the Boss tier.  To do that I need probably 150 Concealable Cameras, since doing the 'Compromising Photos' job doesnt always get you the photos.  And to get the cameras I have to rob the damn Electronics store at least 450 times.  Even then, there's no guarantee I'll get the cameras.  It's funny - before, when I was doing Underboss, I couldn't get a cell phone to save my life.  Now I think I have 100 of them, but can't get a concealable camera.

Also, the Collections were a great idea to add a new twist to the game, but they need to give the items a bit more often than they do currently.  I've done easily over 500 Soldier-tier missions this week and I still can't get a damn boxing ring.

I have like 160 hotels and 200 casinos and I only make like $95 million each time.  That's good for around $3 billion a day or something like that.  It would take a long, long time.  Especially with fuckers destroying my property every 10 minutes.

I'm guessing the basic mission structure is pretty similar, and controls for shooting probably won't be too far off (which I'm fine with), but at least the horses will turn like horses should, as opposed to the cars from GTA IV, which turned like horses.

Also, that game looks fucking amazing.  I never played Red Dead Revolver, but I will subscribe to its sequel.

Here's a little writeup from Kotaku, which makes the game sound like it could be either be one of the best games of all time or a gigantic bust, at least in terms of sales:

This looks awesome (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/15/red-dead-redemption-gameplay-trailer-is-awesome-educational/).  I'm a sucker for the western setting.  I just hope it plays more like Red Dead Revolver than it does like GTA IV.

I'm guessing the basic mission structure is pretty similar, and controls for shooting probably won't be too far off (which I'm fine with), but at least the horses will turn like horses should, as opposed to the cars from GTA IV, which turned like horses.

Also, that game looks fucking amazing.  I never played Red Dead Revolver, but I will subscribe to its sequel.

Here's a little writeup from Kotaku, which makes the game sound like it could be either be one of the best games of all time or a gigantic bust, at least in terms of sales:

I enjoyed the driving in GTA IV.  If you drove a cab, it's no surprise that it drives like a shoebox.  If you jump in a Hummer, it should pretty much drive like a tank.  Police cars were the tits.

I enjoyed it too.  I was just commenting about most of the people who thought it was terrible because it didn't have the ridiculous physics of the last-gen games.  And speaking of last-gen games, to hear that Red Dead Redemption's world is bigger than that of San Andreas kind of blows my mind.  I still think that's one of the most amazing open worlds ever put together.

This game looks phenomenal.  Watching some of the fights and UI layout, you can definitely see the similarities to GTA IV, but it looks like everything is a lot smoother in this one.  Too bad it isn't out until the end of April.

I've played three or four missions, and it's pretty awesome so far.  It definitely has that "Grand Theft Auto in the Wild West" feeling to it, but there are plenty of things that make it really unique.  I also like that there seem to be a few RPG elements, like how your horse can become more loyal, which then increases it's stamina.

The controls really aren't much different when on-foot.  It's REALISTIC, but does make for some annoying moments.  I'd say the horseback controls might even be a bit worse than the driving from GTA IV.  Not that there's any way for a horse to turn on a dime, but the third mission of the game is a race that I died at several times in the exact same spot because my horse decided to jump off a cliff.

All I've done so far is head out with the marshal in Armadillo to round up a bunch of cattle rustlers and take a couple of bounties. Bought a new pad in Armadillo as well. I'm just starting out but hearing this news makes me eager to get out there.

Used any sweet weapons?

The only new weapons I've gotten are a Winchester repeater and a lasso.  Lassoing is pretty fun.  When you get a chance, hogtie some bastard.  I find it utterly depressing that this game takes place three years AFTER the Cubs won their last World Series.

I just crossed the border to Mexico.  For some reason, I needed an Irish guy to lead me across, despite the fact that I could have pretty much swam across the river and just continued on as if nothing happened.  Regardless, it's incredible.  So far I've killed that dude that eats people, been mauled to death by a giant cougar, and watched as a guy hogtied some woman in front of the Armadillo saloon.  Before I realized I was supposed to save her, he shot her in the back of the head.  It was fantastic.  My only complaint with the game is that with the Dead Aim and auto lock-on, the shooting is a bit too easy.  The weakest gun kills people in two shots, so even without using Dead Aim a lot, it's easy to take out large groups.  Otherwise, the game is unbelievable in pretty much every way.

Yeah, Dead Aim makes aiming a lot easier, but it also creates some epic moments, and it makes it possible to kneecap a dude without killing him.  Is auto-aiming defaulted to "off"?  Because I haven't noticed it, and I don't think I changed any settings.  I saw some dude trying to get all rapey with a lady outside of a saloon, so I shot him in the dick.  That'll learn him.

It's on by default.  It's the same as in GTA IV, where sort of "clicking" the left trigger snaps the aiming reticle to the closest target.

No, it applies to animals, too.  You have to be in the general vicinity with your cursor, let go of it and then pull down again.  It'll lock on to whatever is closest.  I usually use that to lock onto a guy and then shoot him in the leg.  I'm too nice and just bring these rapists and cannibals to jail.  Well except for the cannibal.  I let him get his last meal and then shot him between the eyes.

Once again, while searching for wolves to kill (note: they seem to only come out during the day), a cougar came up from behind and mauled me in the back.  It scared the shit out of me.  Somehow, I survived the attack, switched to Dead Aim, and put about 5 rifle shots in his stupid cougar head.  I think I'm on the 5th Hunter challenge and 6th or 7th Sharpshooter.  The next challenge is to kill 3 bears, using only one shot for each one.  I am very much looking forward to going bear hunting.

Kerm, didn't you say you wanted to do some online play? Is it like GTA's online? And if so, let's do it.

I'm tryin to trade Skate 3 for this with some shmucks on the craigs list. Yeah, I fuckin bought Skate 3.  What a waste.

Was it?  I heard the first two were actually really good.

I played some of teh first two and really it's just more of the same.  Sure it's a fun game but they didn't add enough to really make the 3rd one worth a damn.

Yeti and I got in some multiplayer, and it was a blast.  Fair warning.  As in any online game, many people play this like shitheads.  I spent about 15 minutes respawning and getting ridden down and killed by the same two people over and over.  It was pretty annoying.  I'm assuming that's what happened to you, Slak.  I couldn't get to where they spawned you in time.  But if you join a posse and stick together, the game is a lot of fun.  Before I met up with Yeti, I was in a posse of 8 (or whatever the maximum number is).  Six of us jumped into a stagecoach, rode right through the middle of a fort, and shot the place up.  I'm really enjoying this game.

Sorry I couldn't join the gheyness last night.  I've played a little bit of multiplayer, and getting killed over and over by the same person is annoying as hell.  I was doing one of those hideout raids at Fort Mercer, and died about 5 times because some douchebag was just sitting in a doorway, killing me every time I tried to finish.  I'll definitely have to join you guys next time.

I don't have RDR, but I guess playing a whole shit ton of GTA IV's Free Mode qualifies me to join the conversation.  Didn't Rockstar have to patch GTA IV to allow you to spawn away from the same guy with a rocket launcher who would kill you time after time after time after time after time after time after time?

Anyway, I heard RDR is a blast, but I just don't have the time for it.

Same here.  At least the competitive stuff, because I get shot in the face too much.  I do like co-op stuff a lot, though, and this one could be fun sometime with a group of Desipiots.

it probably spreads really quick. In FIFA there's an achievement just like it - you have to beat someone on XBox live who has the fever or some such shit. I've won like 10 total games in my FIFA online history and even I got it.

I finished it before my Xbox issue. I haven't played it since I got the slim (since I don't have my saved games yet). I thought it was pretty good even though I don't invest too much into stories (I skipped a decent majority of the cutscenes). No, I just want to get those achievements.

I'm getting there - I'm done with Mexico. I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to do all the little hunter/gatherer things and the side quests - like the guy who's trying to fly his plane off a cliff. Or the old man that wants to give flowers to his wife. Touching stuff, all of it. Really.

I think I'll probably put on a mask and try to beat up all of the people in the bar in Armadillo. That's fun.

I didn't care that much. I had to go somewhere. Kill some dudes. Take a machine gun, fuck some shit up. Go rescue some prisoner. I've just never had the patience to care about the stories in games. On rare occasions, I'll try and then just decide to push on through. I think the last one I paid attention to was Fallout 3. The game's more about fucking shit up, killing people, or doing other awesome things I wouldn't be able to do in my day to day life, like be cool.

Slak, just so you know, you can finish all of the sidequests except for the "Strange Man" one after you beat the game.  I'm still doing the one for the guy with the flying machine.  Definitely finish the Strange Man quest before you do the ending, because it adds a lot to the story.

I'm sure RV will be along in a minute to tell me how wrong I am, but I assumed he was the Death.  When he tells Marston "This is a nice spot, isn't it?" he's standing on the site of his eventual grave.  Plus, when Marston says "Damn you!" he replies, "Many already have."  I think he was either Death or John Locke.  Plus, the guy says he's met Marston before, possibly because he's almost died before?

Excellent info. I finally tracked down the cannibal. That was really fun. I let him fight me for a while and I didn't use a weapon. I kept knocking him down but he wouldn't stay down. Eventually I lassoed him and brought him to the jail when I realized that no one was there to arrest him and give me any reward money. So I spread his brains out all over the floor.

Satisfyin'.

Yeah, I dragged his ass back to jail, too, before I realized I didn't need to.  When I saw there was no point in leaving him in jail, I dragged him back out into the wild and left him there, hogtied.  Leaving a cannibal tied up to be eaten by wild animals.  That's Western justice.

Anyhow, I think the only guys you need to bring back to the jail are the bounties.

That cannibal one frustrated me. It kept telling me to go north and I'd go to the area indicated, but everytime I'd pull up to the place, some guy would be standing there and fall to the ground. It did this about 4-5 times on me. I'm not sure what I was supposed to do.

Ew. So I did this. Then I got to thinkin' - fuck that guy. So I went back in his house where he was and shot up his wife right in front of him. Head came off. Glorious.

Pecker starts shooting me! So I shot his foot off. Apparently that wasn't enough. He rose from the Footless and came up shooting. So I put the rifle under his chin and blew his brains out.

Probably did him a favor.

Wish I could get my flowers back.

I was once robbed of my horse by a prostitute dressed only in her underwear ...

I caught up with her, hogtied her, and left her on the train tracks.  (I'm pretty sure you get extra honor if you don't gun down your horse thief, but I don't really understand why)

So, anyway, I bought Fallout and never really got into it - I just couldn't get comfortable with the combat system, and it wasn't a lot of fun.  So, when STonk went away on a course, a week ago, I treated myself to Red Dead Redemption, and have played the tits off it ever since.  What a game.  It's extremely playable, absolutely huge and great fun - and the acting is absolutely top fucking drawer.  If you haven't got round to buying this yet, you should.

I'm with you.  I love the idea of all of Bethesda's games, but I'm way too easily distracted by sidequests and all of that nonsense.  It took me forever to finish Fallout 3, and I'm resigned to the fact that I will never finish Oblivion.  But I played the hell out of Red Dead Redemption.  The multiplayer is even great fun.  And the Undead Nightmare pack is worth every penny.  It's a huge amount of content for the price.

I think they're are still a ton of side missions I have to finish in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.  I want to say I was able to finish Oblivion, but I don't know for sure.

This coming Friday, however, Skyrim comes out.  It took the designers of the game 2 and a half hours to finish it, whereas it took them about an hour and change to finish Oblivion.  This should be huge.
