Rockstar Ready to Announce the Next Red Dead?

Rockstar, one of the most successful game developers ever. Most of Rockstar’s games are huge hits, they’re mostly known for their Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise. Grand Theft Auto V is the current installment in the series. And alone has sold over 65 million copies in counting worldwide. Making GTA V the 4^th most game sold ever. They had success with other games like, L.A Noire, Max Payne, and Red Dead Redemption. Yesterday Rockstar release an image on their social media pages teasing what could be a new Red Dead game. This morning they released another image with seven cowboys walking away from the sunset.

Red Dead rumors has been floating around the past few months. In April a map that looks to be an extension of the Red Dead Redemption map was leaked. After a long look at the map gamers found out that the map is from Red Dead Redemption but from the past. Following that news players quickly put the pieces together and knew that the next Red Dead game will be a prequel.

Before the leaked images yesterday the only thing we had known about Red Dead was the map.

Around the time of the PlayStation event there were whispers about Rockstar announcing the next Red Dead on Sony’s stage. We obviously didn’t get that. It was a good move on Rockstar’s part, in my opinion. They don’t need or have to share the stage. They’re a big enough studio to make their own release event or just teasing it, like now. Either way anyone that is a Rockstar fan will want to follow their social media pages.

I have haven't had a chance to play Red Dead Redemption or Revolver. I always wanted to give it a try, but there were many great games at the time to play. In which I only spent time with one game, Final Fantasy XIV Online. That was the only game I played for about a year and a half.

Earlier this year Red Dead Redemption got support for Xbox backwards-compatibilities. That was the time to play right? One problem, I don’t have an Xbox One. I’m a PlayStation fellow. There will be a time where I dust off my PS3 or borrow someone’s Xbox to play as the badass John Marston.

I want to see how Rockstar handles the lead up to the announcement. The leak images are a great way to give players a taste before they can eat (eating being the full product). The success of GTA V creates a higher bar for Red Dead to reach. With the leaked map and now the images directly from Rockstar, it seems Rockstar is ready and getting things setup. I know I’m ready. last time, I missed all the hype around the first release. Next time around I going all in.

Destiny 2’s New “Gambit” Mode Revived the Game’s Competitive Scene

Destiny 2’s competitive scene has always been a second thought compared to the co-op PvE activities. At the launch of Destiny 2 Bungie tried a different more team-play orientated approach with an all 4v4 pvp match-up. Over time players got tired of that formula, especially, the way players were strategizing. The only way to be competitive is to team-shot a player at long distance, this was the only way everyone played. This kept the matches long and stale. Bungie understood the frustration and decided that they will change something about the Crucible (PvP). In July, Bungie pushed an update that changed the 4v4 format for Crucible to a 6v6, just how it was like in Destiny 1. Adding two more players on a team might not seem like a big change, but it completely changes how freely your team can strategize, this is especially true with solo matchmaking. Bungie knocked it out of the park with this change, of course they had a lot of help from the community. The community wanted th...

Mario Tennis Aces “Swing Mode” is Really Disappointing

Mario Tennis Aces is the latest entry to the Mario Tennis series. This time around Nintendo did no wrong with their tennis series giving us an adventure mode where you move from level to level to complete a series of challenges, a fun online/offline tournament, and exciting local play. I haven’t played the Mario Tennis series since the GameCube days, but I’m having as much fun as I did back then, expect for one mode that made me hate motion controls. During the lead up to launch I had questions about full motion controls, if they would support it for full matches? Can it be an alternative? and will it be like Wii Sports or will it have depth will in the base game? These questions were answered just a couple of days before launch and I was disappointed in how Nintendo implemented the motion controls. Coming from the developers of Wii Sports and how well the motion controls worked with the tennis mini-game gave me hope that Nintendo could do something great with motion ...

The Calming, out of this World Experience from Tetris Effect is a Great Change of Pace and Emotion from Other Tetris games

Ahh, Tetris. A game that your parents and almost every other parent knows. The longevity of it has made it evolve over its existents with the “hold” mechanic – which I’ve grown up with -- and doubling down on the competitive nature of Tetris with Tetris Battle, Tetris DS, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and more. Growing up I was terrible at Tetris – making lines with falling blocks was simple enough, but I didn’t understand how to fix my mistakes. There are many insane Tetris players that I can’t even think about competing with. The stress of trying to keep the best layout of blocks while trying to keep up with my opponent is too intense for my taste. However, Tetris Effect is the total opposite of all those competitive Tetris incarnations. The way Enhanced Games and Mizuguchi plays with music and players emotions to then incorporate it into a puzzle game or even something like Rez: Infinite can give old concepts like Tetris a new breath life. Everything in Tetris Effect is amplified by x...
