Where's the PS3 Red Dead Redemption Review?

IGN-Unfortunately. Rockstar was unable to provide us with a copy of the PS3 edition of Red Dead Redemption early and so we've had to delay that review until we get a chance to take it for a spin.

Sounds like rockstar doesnt want IGN blowing the lid on the Sub-HD graphics no AA and all around sloppy port.

I guess I made the right choice when I pre-ordered the 360 edition. I suppose if the PS3 version is getting exclusive content this could explain why. Something to make up for a lesser version. There could be another explanation though. It is odd that they've only really been showing the 360 version though.

This was taken from the sticky Mr. Fail Troll: NowGamer: "We've played both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game and we can categorically state that - other than a 600mb install on the Sony console - they're virtually identical"

I'm more concerned with whether the game will suck, as GTA IV did, than I am about resolution.

Well, the reviews on Metacritic have all been very very solid. Glad this is the first game I've bothered preordering.

Im hoping the ps3 version is the same, as the 360s it's just little stuff like this that makes me wonder, I dont think any game thats as low as 540p should even be aloud to come out on these so called HD consoles. it's just too much of a drop in standards

PR in Europe and the US are very, very different. Rockstar is not always--er--giving when it comes to helping us do our jobs. It doesn't surprise me in the least that one version was withheld from any given outlet.

Why not wait before claiming anything? So far everything has shown the two versions to be the same. Its as if you hope that a game will be bad, does that not sound a little ridiculous?

Thanks for clearing that up

I was worried RDR would be a sloppy jaggle-fest like GTA4 is on PS3

I think the PS3 version will be better, the Cell is more powerful and Blu-ray so texture's don't need to be compressed for such a big game, the got this game on DVD 9 and IGN say it's one of the best looking games made, so it has to run better on PS3.

The 360 can't have a better version if the game is the new graphic's king, just look at the scope of the game it's vast and truly epic, how a game like GOW 3 gets called epic in scope I'll never know.

Mandatory install is enough reason to buy on the 360.

No it isn't :roll:, a 5 to 10 min install often times making the PS3 slightly faster then the Xbox360 versiong ames that don't install.. (Like Borderlands, intil you decide to install it.. Honestly I don't know how you would survive with out a microwave if you can't wait 5 to 10 minutes.

fanboys in this thread are the ones who are making a big deal about this. You will basically get the same exact enjoy and the quality of the game Rockstar has produced will be evident on both versions. Why waste time arguing?

There's no reason to be obnoxious. We don't care how everyone else scores it. We review and rate games based on our experience, not other experiences. I would think that would be abundantly clear. A review is coming.
