In 2007, there was Call of Juarez, which featured two playable characters, one of whom would whip out a Bible and read from it (no, really!) to distract foes.Īll these games had open-world or exploration elements. Who could forget Gun, by Neversoft, a launch title for the brand-spanking new Xbox 360. There was Dead Man’s Hand, a rather linear first-person shooter by Atari. Rockstar San Diego/Rockstar GamesĪfter finishing Revolver, I craved any Wild West experience I could find in video gaming.
There wasn’t much more to do except replay missions on higher difficulties, or try to beat them while taking less damage and shooting for higher accuracy. Red Dead Revolver’s campaign lasted about a dozen hours, if I’m remembering correctly. Those strolls prolonged the feeling I really wanted, of being a squinty-eyed Man With No Name, feared by the wrong people, needed by the right ones. So I found a point on the left thumbstick where I could walk Red, real slow now, to the bank, the gunsmith and elsewhere, spurs ringing out. Walking through its doors sent you on your way to the next chapter. The game’s conceit was that Red Harlow became a bounty hunter after being orphaned, so he picked up his next job at the sheriff’s office. After the train robbery/rescue in Revolver, Brimstone was a sort of hub world you returned to between missions. And it left the thought right there at the train depot in Brimstone - watch your step, ma’am. The makers of Grand Theft Auto had taken over and made the game that first posed the question of what GTA would be like if it had horses instead of cars, stetsons and six-shooters instead of submachine guns. Then there was the sheriff’s office where you picked up the next mission. Functionally, these places weren’t much more than glorified menus where I ticked off unlockables - sometimes useful, most of the time just another page on the road to completion.
There was a general store, a tailor and a saloon. The summer of that year, Rockstar launched Red Dead Revolver, a quirky spaghetti Western project it had acquired from Capcom when Rockstar bought up the former Angel Studios, today known as Rockstar San Diego.Īnd in Revolver, all we got was one stinking town to explore. Grand Theft Auto 3 had launched in 2001, Vice City in 2002 and San Andreas was about to shatter all expectations in October 2004. It was 2004, and Rockstar Games was the cutting-edge practitioner of open-world video game design.

The first town in the Red Dead franchise, the only town in Red Dead Revolver, taught me how to mosey like a proper cowboy.
