Red Dead Redemption

I heard somewhere that Edge gave it a 9. Not sure if anyone else has heard this?
 
I swore I would stay away from buying new releases because I still have a couple of games still in shrinkwrap. But after seeing the trailer for this game, I'm extremely tempted...
 
Red Dead Redemption sports the same sub-HD resolution as its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto 4, on the PlayStation 3.

The lower resolution results in a slightly less sharp image compared to its Xbox 360 brother, it's been claimed.

The Xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption has been confirmed to be 720p with 2x anti-aliasing, whereas the PlayStation 3 version has been pared down to approximately 640p. That's a 20 per cent lower rendering resolution.

Veteran Beyond 3D technical forum member Al_Strong today confirmed the PS3 game's vertical resolution to be 640 pixel's high, but struggled to pin down its horizontal resolution.

Infamous pixel-counter Quaz51 (he broke Halo 3's sub-HD resolution) confirmed this analysis, adding that he believes that Redemption's horizontal resolution is the same as Grand Theft Auto 4's. This puts the PS3 version of Red Dead Redemption at 640x1152; the equivalent of 644p.

That's not to say that the PS3 version of the game doesn't enjoy the same graphical upgrades to Rockstar's GTA4 engine as the Xbox 360 game. No matter the platform, it's still one of the best games of the year, so don't go on a rage campaign just yet.

Moreover, since we've yet to have official confirmation from Rockstar, it's just a rumour for now, and more importantly - who cares?

Weaste, can you translate this for me, please?
 
The details will be marginally less visible compared to the 360 version, but unless you are playing them side by side you won't really notice.
 
Pre-ordered it today. Hopefully it comes on Thurs.

Part of me is trying to lower my expectations so that i'm not dissapointed in it in anyway when it arrives.

I can't see how. If you like GTA games and the Old West environment there's no way that this can't disappoint. These people know how to make games, one just needs to enjoy the genre, because they will be good.
 
My mate had the ending spoiled for him.

No doubt some dickbag will do likewise here.

Ok, final post on this thread. I'm only coming back when I finish the story, by the time I will embrace the multiplayer and look for raid comrades here. Enjoy the game everyone.
 
Yeah, that's probably a good call. I think I'll join you. Especially as I likely won't start playing it until after I beat 'Darksiders', which I just started this evening.
 
I owe £250 rent but I'm still buying this :lol:

I think it says a lot about the sort of person who finds that "fun".
