Just made a spot just for you

IGN's review drops from the heavens at 9:00 a.m. PST.

That's when this thread will really take a turn for the worst.

An Oscar-worthy twist, perhaps?

IGN's review drops from the heavens at 9:00 a.m. PST.

What is that in GMT? I'm gonna go to work now, back in 3 hours for more RDR hyping lol

 

[Denzar]

Seems like the review embargo has been moved

Red Dead Redemption review embargo's been moved up to 4pm BST. Look out for it then. -TomB

From the Eurogamer Twitter account.

 

[The Omega Man]

so embargoes end today? bring them on!
Let's make a chaotic last day before release

 

[Opus Angelorum]

What is that in GMT? I'm gonna go to work now, back in 3 hours for more RDR hyping lol

It's now 13:28pm BST, so 4pm will be 16:00pm GMT.

:lol

 

[LordPhoque]

It's just funny to see chandoog suddenly so concerned about resolution, while it was a non issue in the Alan Wake thread :lol

I didn't know that Alan Wake was native 720p on another platform.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Oscar worthy twist is sooo last gen...

 

[Tom Penny]

I hope the PS3 downgrade isn't as massive as it was in GTA IV.

IGN's review drops from the heavens at 9:00 a.m. PST.

Hmmmmmm.... 9.7 or 9.8. Tough call.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Hmmmmmm.... 9.7 or 9.8. Tough call.

10

 

[Kinyou]

I wonder what would cause more outrage, a perfect 10 or a 8.9.

 

[NHale]

That's when this thread will really take a turn for the worst.

There is only 2 ways that will happen. One review scores <8 or different scores for the X360 and PS3 version from a major website. Imagine if both happens... :lol

I wonder what would cause more outrage, a perfect 10 or a 8.9.

It depends on the reviewer and the written review itself. If it is Hilary Goldstein it would be the perfect 10, if it's someone else the 8.9 (not like it's a bad score BTW).

Now if Eurogamer gives their typical "7 out of 10", just run for the hills.

 

[BeeDog]

I wonder what would cause more outrage, a perfect 10 or a 8.9.

8.8, actually.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

10

Here's what will happen: it will be a 9.6 or some other fantastic score and this thread will go apeshit because it's not high enough. I think 9.7 and 9.8 would get the least apeshittery, as it is only confirmation of the hype, and 9.9 and 10 would be GOTY apeshit. Basically, apeshit confirmed.

Does it mean in ten minutes?

 

[Dead Prince]

Does it mean in ten minutes?

pst. in 4 hours.

 

[Definity]

I have an extra war horse code I would like to trade for a deadly assassin outfit. PM me if you want to trade.

 

[Snowballo]

pst. in 4 hours.

Thanks. :*

 

[Haunted]

I forbid any RDR fan to throw a fit about "low" review scores.

I forbid it.

Spoiler

Feel free to complain about all the money-hatted 10s, though.

Pretty sure you can unlock, all the pre-order stuff by completeing missions, you just get it sooner with the codes.

Cool, I thought that may be the case but I wasn't for sure. Thx.

 

[Karma]

Ah. I must've attributed it to the wrong fellow. I just assumed it was he who said it since thus far he's the only person who's played both versions and is writing about it.

I'm also a poor researcher when tired and slightly buzzed.

No one said the 360 version has tearing.

 

[JambiBum]

Here is a new stream.

Too Late it has been posted on gaf, therefore it is now proven scientific fact...

 

[adamsapple]

Chandoog, do you even own a PS3 or consider buying that version? :lol

No and No but it's nice to have some closure from reliable people since the opinions in this topic are varying so much.

It's just funny to see chandoog suddenly so concerned about resolution, while it was a non issue in the Alan Wake thread :lol

I still think it's a non issue, however it's good to see some guys having a change of hearts now lol

Nice try :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Esteban]

I hope the reviews will focus on how fun it is playing the game.

We definitely see the game is gorgeous and the open world is huge... but is it still fun to play even after 10-15 hours ?

Nice try :lol :lol :lol :lol

Shhhhh

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

Nice try :lol :lol :lol :lol

Must be the PS3 version; no tearing.

 

[CozMick]

The 10 from IGN is being saved for Halo Reach.

I'm guessing a 9.7

 

[Mik2121]

And the "soft" textures! Yup, it's gotta be it.

Anyway, yeah, this is some HL mod. A pretty ugly one at that..

Shhhh don't spoil it for people. The guy is just waiting for RDR.

UGLY...? I thought it was beyond UGLY.. it actually reminded me of the first FPS game for the Commodore Amagi back in the days...

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

If I had to seriously bet, based off of the other reviews, I'd guess that IGN give this a 9.7, maybe a 9.8. Totally just a guess, though.

 

[Barrett2]

I don't understand how anyone could be excited about a particular outlet's score. It's subjective bullshit even with a four point scale, let alone an absurd 100 point scale. Individual review score analyzing is the most pointless part of GAF.

I agree, but it's still exciting to see the review scores for a game you are hyped about. Sure, it doesn't matter THAT much, it's just part of the hype.

It's better than counting pixels, amirite?

Sweet

I killed so many people in a town and got super low honor, that no crime apart from murder they will witness anymore, they look the other way which will making robbing people easier.

Couldn't agree more. My previous post was more mocking than anything.

 

[ACESandEIGHTS]

Argh. My pre-order is at a crosstown store. Ah well, at least I won't have to see the local nerds. And they are nerds too. Armor-wearing mofos.

 

[ACESandEIGHTS]

8/10, good use of vampires breasts. -1 due to mid-90s quality.
