Welcome to This Week in Gaming, where we take a look back at some of the most newsworthy events in gaming history from last year to even decades ago that happened this very week. Take a gander at some of the highlights and see which spark nostalgia and which may still be news to you.
When it was revealed that Red Dead Redemption 2 would be entirely playable in first-person it came as no surprise. GTAV made it possible when it made its way over to the latest generation of consoles so seeing that Rockstar’s next big open world game would be available in first-person made sense. While GTAV’s first-person wasn’t the best, even at times feeling like actions were happening for third-person while in first-person, it still created a sense of grounding that can always be appreciated in video games. If not thinking about playing red dead redemption 2 mods|Https://reddeadstation.com/ Dead Redemption 2 in first-person; here’s a challenge — just give it a shot.
MTV's main draw back in the day was music. Today, not so much. The station is now known for its outrageously toxic reality shows and award ceremonies where Twilight wins everything. But, we'll have to forgive them just this once. The Xbox 360 made its public debut on the channel back in 2005. It was showcased in a special presentation called The Next Generation Revealed. The event was hosted by Elijah Wood and covered the design, features and footage from some games. A live musical performance by the Killers and a special project from the guys at West Coast Customs (remember them?) were also featured on the program. The console wasn't available until November 2005 but the coverage by MTV helped boost the hype. Or it may have killed the radio star.
One of three downloadable content packs, the ‘Outlaws To The End’ Co-Op Mission Pack features six all-new multiplayer missions full of outlaws, epic gunfights, and revolution for 2-4 players. The ‘Outlaws to the End’ Co-Op Mission Pack offers additional multiplayer XP rewards and brand new Achievements and Trophies to unlock. These six explosive and epic missions will play out across the game world, includ
The two are not canonically connected, with the only similarities being the setting and the first two words of the title. The words "Red Dead" are more of an homage to the studios origins than the name of a franchise. With this being said, Red Dead Revolver is still worth pla
Playing in first-person means experiencing the world as it is happening because it's happening with only what can be seen wherever one may be looking. It’s easy to imagine the multiple scenarios that might be brought to life even more just from playing RDR2 in first-person. Horseback shootouts can have more feeling. Bar brawls will feel that true punch. Being chased down by whatever local law enforcement comprised of sheriff and deputy could feel palpably tense. While Rockstar has yet to show how first-person will function, hopefully they’ve taken some lessons out of their own book with GTAV. First-person has come a ways in games with titles such as Dishonored, Prey, Call of Duty and the like. While first-person might not be the main focus, Rockstar has an opportunity to appease players that will want to see through the eyes of Arthur Morgan.
That's how the idea of giving John a son came up, letting players continue to play as him. That appeared to be a quite powerful solution, but it was daunting at the same time. It was powerful because it gave the team a lot of ideas, and gave the story a "hopeful" epilogue. It was also meaningful in relation to the "death of the West" theme. It gave the player somebody to root for and to save at the end, and an additional reason for John to do what he did (before this idea come up, he was just doing it for his wi
A man of many talents, Walter Day was born to be part of the entertainment industry. He is a game designer and historian, but is better known for creating Twin Galaxies-- the world leader in video game records. After reading an article on games in 1982, Walter was then inspired to form a date base of the world's leading arcade scores. This led him to becoming an official referee and scorekeeper for video games. He has appeared in documentaries and at various gaming competitions. Walter has contributed to the Guinness Book of World Records, helped with the founding of the International Video Game Hall of Fame and attended a special video game exhibition at the Smithsonian art museum. Walter has since moved on to focus on his music career but he still remains an iconic member of the industry.
It was "a tough choice," and Cantamessa takes responsibility for the extra expenditure and the extra work it caused, but he feels the need to give credit to Co-Founders Sam and Dan Houser and former President Leslie Benzies, because they bankrolled this proc
It’s no secret that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be Rockstar’s most ambitious open-world game yet, with a map that is as massive as it is rich with characters, places and things to do. RDR2 is promising a living world and from the previews of said game it looks like RDR2 is going to deliver just that. Immersing ones’ self in the boots of Arthur Morgan (protagonist) would be a missed opportunity for feeling that immersion on an entirely different level. Things look a lot different when their happening through our eyes. While third person offers certain game vantages it can take away from the feeling of actually being whatever character.
