Red Dead Redemption

[hinn888]

How many trailers?!

[hinn888]

Theres a collection with all the paid DLC for 1600, thats a pretty good offer, considering its worth 2400 and the stand alone disc is supposedly £24.99

I may have to pick it up, its works around to be about £13 something.

[Hendo]

Can anyone clear this up for me? Does this stand-alone disc also contain the story from the proper game or is it just all the multiplayer stuff?

[hinn888]

Undead Nightmare Collection will be released on disc on November 23rd in North America and November 26th in the UK and Europe.

The stand alone disc is only the DLC like the GTA one.

[Hendo]

Ah, I figured it would be.

I'm only really interested in the Undead one for the single player stuff and I think there's some kind of Horde mode / Nazi Zombies on there.

Anyone bought it and any thoughts?

[retroed]

I've read some views on RLLMUK and GRcade, and they seem to be positive almost right across the board. Apparently the single player stuff is a good five hours or so, so very good value for money. I may have to get it, I thought it was just a multiplayer add-on until I paid some attention.

[Hendo]

I kind of feel the same but then there were some comedy horror moments in RDR:

the cannibal

Getting lots of praise, I think I'll have a play.

[HandsomeDead]

It looks to me like it's treated as a separate entity, like a Halloween special. I dunno, maybe games will find it hard to shake the silly fun thing.

I've still barely touched the full game, maybe when this ends up budgeted I'll have played the main game.

[TopGunKnacker]

its absolutely fantastic. quite tongue in cheek and self aware, not just about the zombies but about red dead itself. it can also be quite bleak, gory and disturbing as a 'straight' zombie outing might be. killing the zombies is loads of fun, a nice change of pace from the main game, and the online horde gametype is probably my favourite of them all. BUY IT

[retroed]

There's a patch out now.

General

Undead nightmare is really good fun - the zombies fit into the setting really well and they are fast zombies which makes for some panicky gunplay!

Its good seeing all the characters from the main storyline again - Bonnie, Seth, The Quack Doctor, The Marshall and my family have made an appearance so far. I've also killed a Sasquatch Great fun

New Red Dead Redemption download imminent.

http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/games/868057-new-red-dead-redemption-download-imminent

The last slice of downloadable content was the excellent Undead Nightmare pack, which was subsequently also sold as a boxed product. Almost a separate game all to itself, the zombie-themed adventure was thought to be the last update for the game, until Rockstar started talking about more downloads at the beginning of last month.

Yesterday Rockstar tweeted 'Look for release date and details in the coming weeks', in response to a fan question as to when the new content might be coming out.

Apart from Undead Nightmare, all the other content for Red Dead Redemption has been related to the multiplayer, with new modes, maps, characters and the like.

This seems to be what's planned for this new update too, with Rockstar earlier hinting at, 'including new fan-favorite playable multiplayer characters by popular demand as well as something for all players of Deathmatch, Grab the Bag, Gang matches and other online modes'.

And the best news? They've already said it's going to be free.

As for the best speculation, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine that this renewed interest in the game might be leading up to an announcement about a sequel…

[retroed]

Free multiplayer DLC coming in September.

It's been dated and detailed by Rockstar today, and is coming as a token of appreciation for all the fans that have supported the game and its multiplayer modes since the 2010 launch.

It's called the Myths and Mavericks Bonus Pack, and will be made available completely free, boasting an array of fan-favourite characters added to multiplayer by popular demand including ageing gunslinger Landon Ricketts. The Myths and Mavericks Bonus Pack will also add new multiplayer locations for Deathmatch, Grab the Bag, Gang matches and the other popular Red Dead multiplayer modes.

Red Dead Redemption's Myths and Mavericks Bonus Pack will be coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace for free in September. Keep your eyes out for it, pilgrim.

One hell of a game!! Outstanding! And my first ever completed Rockstar game!

Whilst not quite perfect (a fair amount of the story, especially the cutscenes, felt a bit too 'staged' or 'convinient'... and there were loads of glitches, although the majority of them were pretty amusing in one way or another...), the entire 75 hours spent on it over the last few months were all amazingly brilliant fun!

I've still got several of the challenges to go back to finish off, plus I've hardly touched the co-op stuff - anyone fancy posse-ing up somewhen? Also, I'm gonna crack on with Undead Nightmare ASAP!

It's a big game for sure, you've inspired me to go back and try Undead Nightmare again.

The problem the past two times I've tried it is that it seems relentless - lots of zombies and not much ammo. Should I just peg it? Mellee them? Hope they drop some decent ammo?

The whole way they've done it though is very classy whilst also taking the piss out of itself.

[dante76]

I was just starting this when the set went bang. Now I have almost finished it ( 83% done). I did have lots of lovely notes about the game, but I cant find them. It is absolutely ball strokingly brilliant though.

[illdog]

This is backward compatible on the Xbox One now which served as inspiration for me to be 6 years late for the party.

 

Apparently this holds up better on the one, has a more solid frame rate. Graphically it still holds up, it looks lovely at all times. It's a joy to play as well, the characters are great and the story has been interesting enough to hold my attention so far. I enjoy the gun play which I guess is a pretty important factor seen as there's quite a lot of it. I'm about 6 hours in and very impressed thus far.

[Hendo]

Wow, you never played it back when?

I still think this is my favourite Rockstar game. Goes on a bit too long, but they all have that problem.

[illdog]

I know right? It somehow managed to let it pass me by but it's backlog and it will be done.

[illdog]

I pumped about three hours in to this last night.

 

I finished off the remaining Seth and Irish missions so I could get my shit together for Nigel West Dickens and then joined the Marshall for a grand fucking of Fort Mercer. Turns out I'm off to Mexico! Gonna bugger around for a bit first before I carry on with the story, I've got some stranger missions to finish off and I see a bounty has appeared in Armadillo so I'm gonna go catch me a cunt.

 

One thing that annoyed me though. I was on my way to Thieves Landing, i'd not yet been there so i'd marked it on my map as a waypoint and was following the red path it draws for you. It sent me down this narrow little path that lead down the side of a canyon. I didn't wanna take my horsey down such a narrow path so I dismounted and made it down on foot. As I was walking I could see little red dots appear on the map that mean enemies are afoot and sure enough that was followed by bullets in my general direction. I ran to the nearest rock, showed those motherfuckers what time it was with my trusty Winchester (it actually turned out to be a little side mission) and when the coast was clear I whistled for Horsey to come back. And what did that cunt do? He ran straight off the edge of the canyon to his death. What an asshole.

 

 

[illdog]

Bump.

 

With the sequel on the horizon I’ve gone back to this. Took a little while to get used to the controls again but now I’m rolling.

 

This is a backwards compatible game that’s enhanced on Xbox One X and for an 8 year old game it looks fucking incredible.

 

Story wise I don’t think I’m too far from the end so I’m just gonna crack on through but apart from a bit of jank this game still holds up.
