Changing from a supernatural American western to a Spaghetti Western allowed the developers to add more blood and over-the-top characters. In 2002, Rockstar Games purchased the game and expanded on it. The game's development stalled when it was dropped by Capcom. Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare Pack Review It was originally released for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox home consoles on May 4, 2004, and was re-released as a PS2 Classic for the PlayStation 3 on December 19, 2012, and the PlayStation 4 on October 11, 2016, alongside a trophy list. Despite the lukewarm reception, Revolver was used as an inspiration for a spiritual successor, 2010's Red Dead Redemption, and became the first installment of the Red Dead series. Red Dead Revolver was released to mixed reviews, gaining praise for its western aesthetics, uniqueness among the third-person shooter genre and story, but criticism towards its outdated gameplay elements, repetitive action, and difficult learning curve. The gameplay involves arcade-like elements and shooting mechanics, alongside a multiplayer mode called Showdown Mode. Set in the 1880s, it follows the story of Red Harlow, a bounty hunter on a quest to avenge the deaths of his parents. Originally a concept developed by Japanese game company Capcom, Revolver was eventually picked up by Rockstar Games. Red Dead Revolver is a 2004 western-themed third-person shooter video game developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games. Punctuated with dark humor and filled with the elements that make the Wild West so compelling, Red Dead Revolver's story is told through full motion cutscenes and breathtaking in-game visuals. Ride down outlaws on horseback, fight bloody duels aboard trains, command stagecoaches and more in your quest for justice. The addictively fun, innovative combat scheme rewards accurate and ruthless elimination of backwater lowlifes. It's a hard game to lay down $49.99 for, but if you're dying for a Western, this fits the bill.A blazing arcade-style third person game fueled by precision gunplay, Red Dead Revolver is a classic tale of vengeance on the untamed frontier. Like I said before, the Dead Eye techniques and the special attacks for each character infuses a wide style of gameplay not found in any other Western. While the engine isn't all that robust, it gives you multiple characters, animals to ride, loads of cool old-style guns, and a healthy Multiplayer mode. Red Dead Revolver does, however, have a lot of hooks. Graphically, Red Dead fares much better on Xbox than PS2, especially in the more crowded levels and in multiplayer. Dead Eye works well, and the range of characters gives the game wider and more emotional appeal. Save points following a Duel are also ill-placed. The Dueling is good, but it's painfully built on trial and error techniques, and it's hard to consistently master. It's got some great ideas that seem to have had problems being fleshed out to their maximum potential. I have desperately wanted to play a good Western shooter for years now, and Red Dead Revolver almost fits the bill. Red Dead Revolver is one of those games I like more in theory than I do in reality. I felt like I was in a cowboy movie, for real. I didn't expect some of the stuff I saw in the game, props to developers for that train chase sequence, particularly. Some amazing action sequences surprised me. It has good cover, shooting mechanics and most of the animations are very well refined for its time. I didn't know this, rightfully so, it caught me unguarded. The dead-eye mechanic that is present in Red Dead Redemption series was presented first in this game. Thanks to the PCSX2's resolution scaler feature, I was able to play the game at a much higher resolution and with a sharper image. Compared to Call of Duty, GTA, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2 from that age, game's graphics looks a little bit outdated. For a 2004 game, I would've expected better graphics out of this game, especially from a game made by Rockstar and Capcom. It has a lineer and kinda boring story with a good start but bad follow up. Despite its age, I enjoyed Red Dead Revolver a lot. 11h PlayedI'd like to thank the developers of PCSX2, the PS2 emulator, for enabling this game to run on PC platform.
