Add it here so we don't have everyone posting GT's and PSNid's:

360 / PS3

Added that.

Uhm, what? They're two completely different games! That's a very bad analogy. They're not comparable at all! GTA3 and 4 are in the same genre, while the RDR games aren't.

That question is about the story. The original could have been a rail shooter or an RPG, the main reason people would ask "should I play Red Dead Revolver ?" is to understand the story.

Pachter: My bias is that a game that is set in the U.S. West will not be particularly appealing to European audiences, and a game where the most powerful weapon is a Gatling gun will not be particularly appealing to U.S. audiences.

He is soooooooooo wrong.
The game will top the charts everywhere. Everywhere.

Its so fucking retarded.

Europe = Hates America
America = Hates not having shoulder mounted nuclear dick cannon.

+1... I live in Europe. And on ALL (ok the ones I know ) websites, the game is hyped to death. And the feedback from the users is amazing. this game is looking good, and I can ensure you that this game, A ROCKSTAR GAME, will top the European lists for weeks.

Inspired Italy to make some of the best westerns.

 

[MYE]

I will buy this.

Traded in Super Mario Galaxy and Smash Bros Brawl for this game...

I hope I made the right decision.

Spaghetti.

Edit: And enabled Sergio to make Clint a legend.

Curious: What impact did Western movies have on Europe?

Children still dressed up as cowboys less than 10 years ago.

I don't know if that was especially because of Western or because the costumes are so cheap or because they look cool or maybe nowadays because of Toy Story.

But "the cowboy" is still a perfectly understood concept among the European industrial nations with a high development index.

Really ?

Never heard of spaghetti Westerns , Ennio Morricone , Sergio Leone , Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill , My Name is Nobody , The Good, The Bad & The Ugly ?

 

[StuBurns]

When I was a kid, the Back to the Future films were crazy popular amongst kids, cowboys were cool without doubt.

Nope, my first hand knowledge of westerns is slim.

 

[Seanspeed]

Sorry for asking twice, but I got no response last time.

The Buy.com deal - it comes with free shipping via 'Budget shipping'. But this says it takes an additional 3 to 5 days. Logic tells me that this means I wont be getting it til late next week, or maybe even the beginning of the week after. But does it being a preorder mean I might actually get it on time?

Its kinda important, because I love to pick up on great deals, but at this point, I think I might rather pay full-price to have it Day 1.

Let me rephrase: I've heard of some of them, but I haven't seen any of them or heard of some of the names.

 

[Dead Man]

Well, you should definitley check out the Leone trilogy, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Classic westerns that still hold up pretty well if you ignore some of the effects and dubbing.

 

[Mik2121]

Actually it should have been "What impact did Europe have on Western Movies?"

But yeah, I bet Western movies are as much of a 'classic' in Europe as in the US, or almost there.

 

[Seanspeed]

Meh. I wouldn't say they hold up well at all.

If you haven't already seen them, or aren't already a fan of westerns, I'm not sure that they'll be that appealing.

 

[Xater]

WAT?

Those Leone westerns hold up better than most of the old stuff from the US.

That guy lives in a very small world.

For me personally as an Irish kid growing up in the eighties, America was the “be all, end all”. I grew up on American Culture and the Western was very much a part of that. I remember watching Westerns every Sunday afternoon as there was usually a matinee on. I have my Dad to thank for that, he's a huge fan. He still talks about playing “Cowboys and Indians” as a kid.

Who isn't a fan of westerns? No one? That's right. And what other western from that era is better? Nothing? That's also right. Well done.

 

[BlinkGT]

Europe = Hates America

Bullshit. RDR will be a great success in Europe (i'm french and i'm sure it will top the charts, everyone is waiting this game impatiently), trust me. Can't wait, and thanks for the great OP, by the way.

Really not trolling.

Older westerns tend to be very corny, if you ask me. Even the serious ones.

I appreciate them, but could see how people wouldn't like them.

[StarEye]

Anyone heard of Morgan Kane? It's been translated to dozens of languages, and I believe english is one of them. It's by a norwegian writer. Insanely popular series of books, at least here in Norway.

 

[matrix-cat]

I wonder if they'll remaster TGTBTU. I've always heard that the US release was really heavily de-noised which removed all the film grain and made everyone look like wax figures, while the Italian release was amazing but had no English voice track.

 

[Hanmik]

hmm.. just found a little review..

http://www.360groundwar.blogspot.com/

do not know if it has been posted yet.. but it´s some entertaining stuff.

I walked into the bank and it was busy. Unlike GTA where the insides are like cardboards these areas actually beam with life. Simply all I did was take out a gun and shoot the woman working the counter! Wow everyone started screaming and one guy even started punching me. It is something you truely need to see as in how realistic the actions on the NPC's were. At first I thought this was a scripted event but in all actuality I robbed many more places and the reactions were "random" but very realistic.

hmm.. I read it some more.. seems Realy fake and strange.. not much of a review.. sorry for the lame post..

The cinematography alone would cement the Leone films as classics meant to be appreciated by everyone. And that's not even mentioning the soundtrack, the characters and the story. If someone is unable to appreciate a film like The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, the person in question doesn't know films.

Out of curiosity, did we ever hear what the differences are between the 360 and PS3 versions of the game? If I were to buy it, which I'm actively considering, I would be getting the PS3 version.

Man, this question has been asked to death here. No-one knows except Rockstar themselves...

And this reviewer made a statement about the PS3 version.

Just as a heads up, I reviewed the game on PS3. It wasn't final code, so I was expecting a dodgy frame rate, poor performance, etc.

I can't compare, because 360/PS3 comparisons generally require side by side comparisons to see any real difference, but I thought the game ran very well on the PS3.

This pleases me.

And people that thought GTA IV ran "very well" were blind.

 

[zero margin]

The Proposition watched, uh, it was interesting and pretty violent. Worth watching. I then noticed young guns was on max or something at like 4 am so I DVR'd that. :lol Seen it 20 times but it's been a long time, might seriously have to get tombstone blu-ray this week as well.

 

[Vinci]

Well that's disappointing. Think I'll wait a couple of days after launch and see what the consensus is at that point before purchasing.

 

[Crisco]

I'm not gonna lie, I almost hope the PS3 version is gimped in some way (I only own a PS3) so I'll have an excuse to hold out for the eventual PC version.

Is a PC version likely?

 

[magicaltrevor]

A few more hours of work, and my 12-day vacation starts!

Will certainly use the time to watch some good westerns to get in the mood for RDR.

 

[Goldrusher]

Read the OP. There's a FAQ section in which that very question is asked.

Down the road maybe. Nothing announced.

Read it. It made it sound unlikely. Just clarifying that that's the case; that something hasn't been brought up to warrant some hope of a PC version.

Curious: What impact did Western movies have on Europe?

To sum up what everyone already said, Europe defined the Western.

And with Europe I mean a specific Italian director ofcourse, Leone, and his movie were enormous hits over here while flopping in the U.S. ironic enough.

Someone over at RLLMUK (who I think works in the industry) says he got an email saying what I'd originally posted.

But as I can't find anything concrete online I decided to edit it for now!
