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.

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 ...

My Game of the Year (2017) – Destiny 2 #3

There was a lot of excitement for the Bungie ’s second go around with Destiny 2 . There was a lot of controversy over what was changed and what didn’t return from the first Destiny . At first the changes were for the better, it allowed new players to finally wrap their head around the system that was difficult to process in original Destiny. Rising reputation with an NPC is one change that was assessable newcomers. In Destiny 1 it always felt like a chore, because of the bounty system. This system made it a more difficult task due to the action associated with the bounty – this can range from headshots with a sniper in PvP to complete 3 strikes. With Destiny 2 , the reputation is more streamline with turn-in tokens. Earning these tokens are common and I great resource of gear/weapons when you’re first starting out. These tokens are associated with each planet. Its great Bungie is listening to the players and in doing so, made an assessable loot shooter for the ca...

My 2016 Game of the Year: # 5 Firewatch

#5 Firewatch When I first saw early builds of Firewatch I thought it was a different and new approach in an engaging narrative. The way you can interact with objects and the small clues you can find within the environment provides more life to the world. Firewatch was the first game I played in the genre, but there are other games that have the same kind of first-person narrative. Gone Home is one of the recent and well-received first-person narrative game. The two games are similar in gameplay, you walk from objective to objective trying to put the pieces together in the world. Gone Home is set in a house, and in Firewatch’s case, you’re in an open forest. Campo Santo are the developers of Firewatch and was formed by former Telltales: The Walking Dead developers. Once I knew about Campo Santo and the developers that were working on the game I had a sense of what to expect. Character Building Makes You Sympathize with Henry The game starts strong with a se...
