Red Dead Redemption; Will it "blow us away" ?

I've been thinking about this game a lot since i read that loooong list of stuff that's apparently in the game (that was posted here) and while it read awesomely on paper, whether or not it translates into a good game is something else altogether.

When GTAIV came out and everyone was expecting (demanding) a SR2 killer and instead they got the opposite, a gritty and somewhat realistic look at city life. Even now when i go back and start the game up, GTAIV is amazing. I recently finished off SR2 for the eleventy billionth time in CO-OP and it was a blast.. then a few days later I put in GTAIV and it was a monstrous difference. The GTAIV experience is excellent. A few months after it came out and the boards were filled with "GTAIV sux" and "SR2 vs GTAIV" posts, i felt like people just weren't ready for what GTAIV was offering. I'm wondering.. will RDR blow us away with it's scale and depth?

Will people be ready for it? Rockstar have always been that company to bring more and more every time.

“This is the biggest game rockstar have done since GTA IV, and is already receiving Game of the Year 2010 nominations from specialists all around the world. It also requested that all hype reflects this – we all need to respect the huge achievement we’re writing about here.”

A big resounding MEH from me. Everyone was going around praising GTA IV about how great it was etc etc. I found it irritating, drawn out, and in my "personal" opinion, it just seemed waaaay to realistic for what should be deemed a game (To similar to life itself, i can expand if someone doesn't know what ima talking about). That being said, as kenji said on paperwork this is looking very nice, so while I'm "VERY" skeptical on this game, i still have put down a pre-order.

Im currently wearing 27 pairs of underpants at once and I've soiled every layer of them back front and sideways (think about it) for this game.

Just watching the trailer and the idea of it is great, should give me some warm fuzzy moments of similarity to an online MMO of sorts.

Rockstar have announced that Red Dead Redemption, due for release this month, will be receiving a 4 player co-op expansion next month.

'Outlaws To The End' is a Co-Op mission pack which will be available FREE this June for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, adding 6 new missions for you and 2 or 3 of your buddies to play though.

In addition, it will allow you to get more multiplayer XP rewards a long with brand new Achievements and Trophies to unlock.

Rockstar founder Sam Houser said “Multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption offers players a whole new way to encounter the massive open world we’ve created, but we felt the
experience would not be complete without co-op game play. With these missions, we wanted to create new ways for players to share in the experience of engaging with
this amazing landscape.”

Red Dead Redemption releases on May 18th in the US and May 21st across Europe for the Xbox 360 and PS3. For details on the game check out the official site or keep it locked here on Ironstar, also look out for our review on the game.

The advantages of the industry these days......or probably simply put 'Cause we can'

instead of delaying the game to squeeze in something they're dragging their heels with or late idea, release it later through a free update. This scenario is fine with me, until developers intentially leave shit out and then charge for it as well later on

Oh... mmmy .. ggggod. haha

Yeah I preordered this just an hour ago along with Alpha Protocol.



I agree with Branden, it does seem like when they release a DLC paid or free shortly after or even a quickfix patch, that its as if its unfinished, and just rushed out for sale.

Still skeptical about this but had a look at a ep of GT TV last night about it (above link). After watching that im much more looking forward to it. Def worth a look.

Pretty much the only reason i put in a pre-order in.

Though i've been majority skeptical (still am a bit) when i found rockstar are making it, since the over bloated, over hyped, over repetitive, over boring and generally dull thing of a child that was called GTA IV Blitz molests farm animals came from their proverbial womb.

I like GTA4 its got plenty of replayability.

Even after a few months of completion you can always go back and play more, plus they added DLC's like Gay Wolfsters Dance Party, and The Lost Penis of Wolfster.

Im sure they'll do the same to Red Dead Redemption.

Stop whining about it and wait till its released. :D
