ModNation vs Red Dead Redemption

ModNation vs Red Dead Redemption

Postby krazykat » Wed May 12, 2010 9:42 pm

Ok, first let me state, I probably misspelled one of the games I am going to talk about in the title.

This is a tough choice for me.
I see IGN gave Modnation a 9/10 and the game in general seems to be kicking butt. It looks awesome I played a day of the beta before my ps3 died and the track creation seemed enjoyable and load times long (I heard they were shortened), but overall a good experience.

Then on the other side I see...

Red Dead Redemption.
It is a plain fact after my ongoing love affair with warhawk, we have produced several offsprings that I have loved (gun wise). BFBC2, BFBC, and MW1. I love gun games and old west. The idea of shooting about in my favorite period of time in history seems thrilling.

My racing collection is zero.
My gun games are numerous.

I love racing.
I love guns.

Which should I buy?

3D Dot heroes looks amazing. Unfortunately my wallet (A sad collection of small bills) Cannot support the game too. I was greatly dissapointed that it was not a psp title. I understand that it probably required ps3 energy, but I think they could have made a much bigger profit putting it on the psp.

Did you hear about the new gran torismo tracks? At some German place.

yes!!!!!!!!!!! german tracks FTW!!!!!!!!..i am disappointed about one thing...over 1000 cars and only 60 tracks -_-..like come on break 100 at least...got me waiting years for 60 tracks...which is really just 30...and then...other variations..ughh its w.e i jus really want it here already im tired of waiting!!!!

as for 3d dot...it isnt a full priced game..its only 40 bux which i think is fair and the psp isnt really a good selling platform so im glad its on the ps3

I'll be getting both, and SMG2 and 3D.

As for which to get get whichever you think you want to play now. The games are completely different.

The thing about ModNation is it comes out the same time as Blur and Split Second. I may end up having to get those too.

True noodz, it's a shame that the psp can't sell more.

i'm more interested in trackmania 2.

Actually this whole resurgence of user made content in a way pisses me off, because all the developers and companies etc keep acting like it's a new concept. we've been getting level editors for FPS games since the mid 90's. how is user made content "the future"?

tek you bring up a good point...the thing is..this is new for consoles...and pc gaming is left behind for the most hardcore of the hardcore...a bunch of people didnt even know this was possible although its been done for years on unreal tournament and other stuff...it is sad...but then again ever since the wii came the industry has gone to hell -_-

Since the Wii came out we've seen games like COD4, Uncharted 2, RDR soon, and many other great games. In fact, why even bring the Wii up? It wasn't even involved.

As for user created content, part of it is the difficulty of creating maps in PC games. While I know the basics of Source SDK, it's nothing like creating a level in LBP or a track in ModNation Racers.

Making maps was a very niche thing. While it's not "new" it's new as a mainstream game feature.

true, i still prefer the complete flexibility allowed by the unreal editor or the source SDK.
but i try and stick away from the source SDK, really don't like hammer.

I think I've decided on getting RDR after I saw the online portion on the IGN review.

You also forget that since the wii came out the main focus now is to please the casual audience -_-

Okay, super late to the party i know, but i finally got the modnations demo, and holy crap wow. It's an intravenous injection of fun. i was actually smiling as i was making mods and vehicles and little guys. i take back my comments about user made content earlier, it really is insanely easy and fun to make tracks in this. Something i can't say of any maps i've made with dedicated editors. Unfortunately i'm out of cash atm and can't be fucked getting another job in the near future. So maybe it'll have to wait, been having a blast with the demo though. The Driving model is great, a bit faster and slicker than mario kart with added strategy.

I loved the demo when I played it too... I was kind of upset that I bought RDR. But now i'm lvl26 and it's still fun to hop in a posse with some guys on my FL.
