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.
Not to be outdone by Microsoft, Sony made their huge announcement only four days after the Xbox 360 was revealed. It all went down at E3 2005 when Sony announced plans for their latest system, the PlayStation 3. During the conference, the console was shown with a boomerang controller which was later modified. There was no actual gameplay footage of its titles but pre-rendered videos of Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The prototype of the system was priced between $500 and $600 USD. More information and demos were revealed months later at the Tokyo Game Show. PlayStation 3 didn't launch for another year, but when it did, every single gamer automatically picked sides between the seventh generation console war.
Red Dead Redemption is currently available for PS3 and Xbox 360 (also playable on Xbox One via backward compatibility), while its sequel, Red Dead Redemption 2 tips|https://reddeadstation.com/ Dead Redemption 2, has recently been delayed to Spring 2018 , with publisher Take-Two Interactive Software “utterly confident” of the wisdom of the choice . Considering what Cantamessa just revealed, it certainly isn't much of a surpr
Western games are few and far between in the the realm of video games, but Rockstar managed to captured every little detail to give the game that classic old west aesthetic. From the large desolate landscapes filled with cacti to the small towns that included saloons, hotels and churches, Red Dead Redemption had a way of honing in every aspect of the early 1900s. Even the designs of the technology was spot on. Seeing the use of automobiles, machine guns and modern trains seemed to heightened every possible feature the game had to offer. It's why the game still holds up and looks beautiful to this day.
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
Ultimately, the discovery of Gertrude and her horrifying fate is a great example of why RDR2 has such enduring gameplay. Even after all these years, players are learning and re-learning new secrets and are amazed at the depth of the game's lore. It's a testament to why _Red Dead Redemption 2 _ is considered one of the greatest video game stories ever t
Strong male leads haven’t always been too prevalent in Rockstar's games. John Marston, on the other hand, was an exception. While his back story was a bit generic, he had a swagger about him that added to his personality. But having a strong protagonist was only one aspect that made the game's narrative so spectacular. In short, Red Dead Redemption's premise revolved around John Marston taking down members of his former gang to save his wife and son. Without giving too much away, the narrative was a well crafted, filled with a likeable cast of characters and scenes that will have anyone sitting at the edge of their seat, but the ending is what made it and set the bar for emotional storytelling. It's safe to say that Red Dead Redemption went out with a bang (har har).

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
