He is a former outlaw, settled down with a farm, wife and child, until the emerging proto-FBI organization takes his family hostage with their release only on the condition that he eliminate his former comrades in his old gang. Set in the fictional region of New Austin, in 1911, the game chronicles the twilight of the Old West through the eyes of John Marston. It’s a sprawling game that manages to amaze and intimidate with the scope of its ambitions. The game is not going to change anyone’s life simply by playing it, but it did promise to give gamers the most immersive and entertaining western video game they’ve ever played, and on that score, it manages to succeed.
Red Dead Redemption started out unceremoniously as a few images presented by Sony as Rockstar’s “western game,” and over the years got a name, went multi-platform and garnered an enormous amount of hype.
