shame they just opted for the regular consoles.

raWfodog2041d ago

Meaning you wish they allocated those resources elsewhere?

Neonridr2041d ago

well a RDR2 themed console / controller would have been nice, no?

raWfodog2041d ago

Ah, I get your meaning now. I thought your reference to 'regular' consoles meant you didn't think they should have wasted their time with the base PS4's.

Yeah, it seems like it would have been a better move to issue themed consoles. Even if they already owned a PS4/PS4 Pro, some die-hard RDR fans would have gladly coughed up the cash for it.

gravedigger2041d ago (Edited 2041d ago )

Limited editions are.....limited. Like Spidey bundles. Pretty sure this RDR2 bundle will be a Black Friday bundle too with 50$/50GPB drop in price because console is regular one, not limited.

pleasuretokill2040d ago

Yup. Immediately put one in a cart to purchase. Saw that it was normal console.... deleted. No good for a collector's item.

Goldenhawk5212040d ago (Edited 2040d ago )

You just made some higher end console owners butthurt and salty. Oooooops

This game gonna take PS4 sales through the roof.

Ceaser98573612041d ago

Its a console exclusive so should sell well on both PS4 and Xbox... Though PS4 has more users so yea!! The game will sale more on PS4 like SOTR which sold more on PS4 over Xbox.

Bronxs152041d ago

I think he meant the bundle is going to make PS4 HARDWARE sales sore as well. Which I agree with.

Ceaser98573612041d ago

If it was a theme console it would have sold a lot ..

Legatus2041d ago

It doesn't need to be a special theme console, it's RDR 2 we are talking a about, one of the most anticipated game this gen, PS4 + RDR 2 bundle will sell like hot cakes, no doubt about it.

yomfweeee2041d ago

This late in the generation, I don't think any single game is going to make hardware sales soar through the roof. Especially if it isn't even a special edition console.

Ceaser98573612041d ago

Exactly but yes if it was a theme special edition console it would have sold a lot like how SPIDERMAN did... or the Limited console does...

Legatus2041d ago

PS4 + RDR 2 bundle will sell like hot cakes, no doubt about it.

generic-user-name2040d ago

150m PS2s sold. PS4 is only at 80 right now and there's still a couple years left in this gen. There are plenty more people out there to sell consoles to.

yomfweeee2040d ago

Nice disagrees, let's hear your sales estimates? 5 times last month? 10 times?

rainslacker2040d ago

Its possible some games could see surges in sales when they release. Probably not 2-3 times their normal monthly sales though. Plus, this game is coming out during the holidays when console sales are going to be higher anyhow.

I will buy it for the X for better performance :)

Ceaser98573612041d ago

Its gonna perform better on both console.. X won't be 60fps.. Its gonna be 4k 30fps on both...

Legatus2041d ago

Nothing wrong with that, but millions will buy this PS4 RDR 2 bundle.

2040d ago
Silly gameAr2040d ago (Edited 2040d ago )

That's nice. At least somebody owns an X, so that's one sale for them.

X owners are like unicorns. You don't see a lot of them out in the real world. Should be a good game either way, though. We know that the ps4 will run games as well as it has from day one.

alb18992040d ago

gamerzero and the ones who wants the best version will need the X

Ceaser98573612040d ago

X is overrated.. Nobody buys X for better performance or third party games. lol!

joab7772040d ago

I loved RDR but this game seems to be one of the first truest next gen games, as Tickstar did with GTA 5 on the OS3. We sat back and asked, how the hell did they do this?

THC CELL2041d ago

Makes game fps but not vr hope a update comes

Mr Marvel2041d ago

Throwing random words together does not make it a sentence.

THC CELL2041d ago (Edited 2041d ago )

Sorry I will make it clear for ya

The game can be played. First person all way thru, they should of added vr I hope a update comes out or do what they did with skyrim

xX-oldboy-Xx2041d ago

THE CELL - it's 3rd person isn't? Either way, you ain't getting a game with RDR2 visuals in VR. Nadda, zip, mo way. Not this generation.

THC CELL2041d ago

Yes but read again, the game can be played first person mode all way thru
I've played it and seen it

Goldenhawk5212040d ago

I think THC CELL made these comments using his or her toes or was using a flip phone. OR perhaps was taught to type on a keyboard by chipmunks. Anyhow, it would be pretty awesome to play the game in VR mode at some point, since it will have an optional 1st person mode.

Profchaos2040d ago

Vr rdr2 is a minimum of another generation away even pc would struggle.

The c game would have to be downscaled to rdr 1 graphics

As much as I love my vr it has some limits people don't seem to understand that the tech is in its infancy skyrim vr was still actively worked on for over a year same as fallout vr its not a small patch to give a title a first person perspective it has to work with head tracking

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein9d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

Yi-Long8d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius7d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius7d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk26d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218325d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken25d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker26d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218325d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast26d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog26d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast26d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave26d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
