    RDR > GTA

    In my opinion. GTA just feels claustrophobic, compared to the freedom of RDR.

    Yeah I agree, the only GTA I have owned was GTA 5 on PS3 and I only had it for about a month, didn't play that much of it. At least in RDR the Police aren't after you as soon as you do something.

    I'm playing it at the moment. It's aged very well.

    Yeah it's a great game. What console are you playing on? I also had the GOTY Edition Strategy Guide which was a very nice book.

    I'm playing on Ps3. From what I've heard the majority of games ran better on xbox 360 than ps3 but I never had a 360.

    There definitely will be sequel (or prequel) I read a few weeks ago that one of rockstars spokesman said apart from the GTA that the RDR was their most successful game and that at some point you will see an announcement!! When I don't know, could be a year from now or more,who knows!Rockstar like to draw things out and delay but when they come with a game,they produce better than any! They are not just going to leave that franchise alone and let it be after all the success it had! Cmon now,that's a no brainer!!!!

    R* are the kings or marketting, they will announce something when it suits them.

    RDR on PC would be awesome but there a few issues with that.

    Bah saw the thread and got all excited that there may have been official confirmation of a sequel while I wasn't looking. Guess it's back to waiting and hoping for a remastered PC release.

    They could litterally just release a RDR remastarded on th PC, XBONE and PS4 and still sell a shít tone.

    What was Red Dead Revolver even like, funnily enough, I'd never heard of it until this thread..... it looks fairly rubbish but maybe it was good for it's time but won't age well. Also I enjoyed RDR more than GTA4 and possibly more than 5 too

    Loved Red Dead Revolver, I still remember the music, think it was taken from a spaghetti western with Klaus Kinski in it and showed up on the Django Unchained soundtrack too. Was a fair bit different to redemption though, and not sure how well it would have aged.

    I quite enjoyed Red Dead Revolver at the time but zero idea of how it has aged. As far as I can remember, it was quite a linear, mission based game, nothing like the open world the sequel had. Worth a look I'd say, Rockstar don't put out many bad games.

    A few copies available in CeX on PS2. 10 euro maybe a bit steep though.

    They put out Bully..... and that was $hit, except you only really noticed when you were away from it for a few days and realised you had no interest in going back :P

    Red Dead Revolver is nothing like Redemption it is not an open world game. And you can tell it is a old console game. But it is still fairly good. I still have it for my original xbox.

    RD Rev is a great game in it's own right. It's essentially a western themed corridor shooter with some big open arenas. Really, it's nothing like RD Red other than the western theme and the name. It does have a sort-of hub town where Red gets bounties but that's about as open world as it gets.

    If anyone's interested in getting it, the XBOX version works on the 360 but the textures glitch out like mad unless you go into settings and downscale it to 420p or something like that, just in case someone does get it and things the disc is corrupted.

    If a new batch of rumors are to be believed, Take-Two is planning to unveil Red Dead Redemption 2 at this year’s E3 event, with the game scheduled to release at some point in fall 2017.

    These new Red Dead Redemption 2 rumors stem from an anonymous e-mail received by website Frag Hero. The e-mail claims that an ex-Rockstar Games employee gave them this information about Red Dead Redemption 2, and it reveals more than just the game’s planned release window.

    According to the e-mail received by Frag Hero, Red Dead Redemption 2 has been in development for over four years and will be released under the title Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West. According to the tipster, Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West will feature more than one playable character like Grand Theft Auto 5, and will reportedly boast a far larger open world than the one found in the original game.

    I'd love it to be true, but I can just never believe claims of secrecy like:
    Red Dead Redemption 2 has been in development for over four years

    The original was in development for 4 years before it was publicly announced, looks like they may have pulled that number from there.

    It'll likely be after the console, doubt it'll be more than 6 months.

    You should its possibly the best open world game around, the best part of the entire game is going from place to place. Which is normally the most boring part of open world games but the whole atmosphere and sound in RDR are perfection.


    Plus I learned to love my horse I was gutted when the train hit him :( Seriously he was buddy :(:mad::o

    If this is true, they'll re-release the first one on the new consoles before that. Still won't get a pc port though :(

    I'd be very surprised if it didn't come to PC. It's a bit of a travesty the original never got ported.
