“Rockstar Games has employed some creative techniques in cross-promotion. I think they’re pretty exciting. Social Club has an awful lot of members and they’re avid fans not just of Grand Theft Auto, not just of Red Dead Redemption, but also fans of Rockstar Games. I think it’s great that there is some cross-promotion going
I will immediately state that I’m not pointing a finger at Rockstar saying they copied another game. In this industry, like any art, learning from others goes a long way. Rockstar has always been able to craft exceptional games — just look at the most recent years of success with GTAV Online or any of the GTAs. What has Rockstar learned? From the looks of it, that it’s possible to create epic playscapes representative of our real world that will be fun to play in without fantasy or sci-fi. It has gotten a bit tedious that every game that’s willing to put out these massive sandboxes restricts it to stories of fiction, except Rockstar of course. Covering a bit more ground, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed is also helping fill this much-needed role for games.
At the same time, people will still have a blast with Red Dead Redemption 2 if they had never heard of the series beforehand. The story still stands on its own, but hits so much harder for those who have played Red Dead Redempti
GTA , even when telling its darkest stories, tends to be a black comedy, while Red Dead Redemption always relies on hard-hitting, character-driven drama. The former draws players in with its spectacular, almost extraordinary missions, and Red Dead ‘s lure is how it immerses players into the setting and feels more meditative, like the many westerns from which it draws inspirat
According to Cantamessa, they could have said “yeah, good idea, but no, John lives. Change the story. Who cares, it’s just a game.” instead, they supported the idea 100% and approved the additional costs, time and workl
Video games come and go, but few stick in our minds; Red Dead Redemption brings a tremendous experience with every aspect. With stellar gameplay mechanics and an immaculate narrative that will leave anyone blown away once complete, Red Dead Redemption is one of the best games to hit the last generation of consoles. Now all we need is a sequel.
A common complaint about Red Dead Redemption 2 is its pacing. People say it takes too long for game play to become interesting, and even longer for the story to pick up. This definitely is true, but it’s also not an entirely negative statement. A good payoff requires patience, and it takes time for the player navigate to this web-site become attached to all the charact
Since it was developed by Rockstar, there were definite similarities between Grand Theft Auto gameplay-wise. Red Dead Redemption wasn’t just Grand Theft Auto in the old west, though; there was something more to the game. Sure, you could talk to your companion while you traversed the open landscape, but Red Dead Redemption had deeper gameplay mechanics than its modern counterpart. While the game was overall a standard third person action shooter, there were parts the completely stood out. It’s a simple feature, but exploring every nook and cranny by way of horse was a unique and fresh way to find various locations. And since the game’s release, riding horses to explore is becoming a more popular trend. The duels were another prominent feature. Utilizing the gunslinger mechanic which slowed down gameplay, duels offered a gruesomely unique experience.
It was “a tough choice,” and Cantamessa takes responsibility for the extra expenditure and the extra work it caused, but he feels the need to give credit to Co-Founders Sam and Dan Houser and former President Leslie Benzies, because they bankrolled this proc
Strong male leads haven’t always been too prevalent in Rockstar’s games. John Marston, on the other hand, was an exception. While his back story was a bit generic, he had a swagger about him that added to his personality. But having a strong protagonist was only one aspect that made the game’s narrative so spectacular. In short, Red Dead Redemption’s premise revolved around John Marston taking down members of his former gang to save his wife and son. Without giving too much away, the narrative was a well crafted, filled with a likeable cast of characters and scenes that will have anyone sitting at the edge of their seat, but the ending is what made it and set the bar for emotional storytelling. It’s safe to say that Red Dead Redemption went out with a bang (har har).
In Grand Theft Auto games (especially those made up to that point) you can keep playing after the end, and killing John conflicted with that. There was the possibility of not killing John at all, but Cantamessa didn’t think it would work. The story needed to go somewhere, and John’s death was where it needed to
