  • Before millions were amazed by Arthur Morgan and before John Marston stole the hearts of every little cowboy, there was Red Harlow. In the forgotton first entry of the Red Dead series, started by Angel Studios in collaboration with Capcom and then eventually turned over to Rockstar, Red Dead Revolver changed the way video games portrayed westerns.

    Red Dead Revolver's story in Redemption's world is very much like the Trojan War in our world.
    It happened, but much of the story was embellished. Red Harlow (along with the other characters) likely existed, but not in the way Revolver portrays them.

    I still have fond memories of renting & beating Red Dead Revolver. The gameplay took some getting used to, as I wasn't skilled at shooters and had never seen anything like the Deadeye mechanic before. But man, after some practice, I LOVED it.
    Everything from the story (though, I admittedly didn't understand all of it at that age) to the characters, music and setting was fun and memorable. I felt like a Terminator in the Old West (if said Terminator was played by a younger Clint Eastwood).
    It was just about everything a kid could want in the classic cowboy power fantasy: Hunting bounties, stopping crimes (like the train robbery), exploring an old town, getting new weapons, winning shooting duels, feeling like an overall badass, etc.
    When Redemption first came out, I'd honestly forgotten all about Revolver. Then, lo and behold, I loved Redemption even more (except, I sadly never beat it and eventually moved on to other games). My sister bought R.D.R. 2, but I never got into it.
    It's hard to explain why, as I love everything about both those titles and agree that they improved on Revolver in every possible aspect. Perhaps the genre simply didn't resonate with me anymore (admittedly, I was never into old Spaghetti Western films)?
    Or, maybe it was Revolver's simpler foundation that kept my interest, whereas the Redemption titles are so much bigger and more complex? In any case, I'll always have a place in my heart for this franchise and am grateful that it's still going strong.
    I might give Redemption 2 another try someday and see if it recaptures those feelings I had for its predecessor. I wish Rockstar would remake Revolver (not just remaster), imagine what current technology could do for the adventures of Red Harlow?

    When it comes to wild west styled games, there are 5 that will always come to mind for me. Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2, Red Dead Revolver, Gun, and God Hand. I kinda wish that Redemption didn't overshadow the other 3 but when those 2 games are as good as they are, it's nearly impossible to not let that happen. Plus, they've earned that recognition beyond a shadow of a doubt. I think most people kinda see Revoler, Gun, and God Hand and confuse "not as good as" with "not good" which is a damn shame

This game was a lot for a kid born in 92 when this came out at '04: the guy at the teen center always made such a big deal out of passing this game over the counter to me like it was a 'secret spy envelope' for eyes only.

    When RD2 dropped I was amazed at how so many people had no clue about RDR (OG) I can't help but to always say Revolver before realizing I made a huge mistake I get corrected as if this game was in a list of thing being associated with the Mandala effect. The Showdown mode to me felt sooooo lovely especially since I would kick ass with good ol' Sheriff Bartlett. Oh Xbox I miss your touch, your vibrations you passed along our bodies and mind. This is what made me REALLY enjoy westerns. Who knew? Please show the same love to my friends... Dear Revolver.

    When this came out it was the game I’d always been dreaming of. And it was so stylistically on point, and funny without being flat out stupid, but dark in all the right places, it was honestly at the time like getting a new Tarantino film. Red dead redemption is my favorite game of all time but it wouldn’t have made as much sense if this hadn’t been thoroughly played first. You would never get how deeply spaghetti western it really all was in origin

    I recently played through this again on my PS4 and was surprised by the quality of the art direction. The graphical fidelity isn’t great but the art direction hasn’t aged a day. God even the loading screen with the setting sun. A gorgeous, fun game.

    it's nice to see some folks still talk about this gem of a game today, even if its a small amount its still nice to know i ain't the only person on the planet who still thinks about it.
    probably the only game i've ever played that felt like i was inside a old skool spaghetti western! likely the game i can blame my 'love of all things western' on.
    you simplified the story a bit too much (for my liking), but then i guess this isn't a story summary lol
    otherwise a very good video about revolver, thank you for this.
    its a shame it gets overshadowed by the series sequels and often forgotten or ignored due to it not being canon (though i personally don't care what anyone says, its canon to me), or simply due to its age.
    really in my opinion, the best western game on the market before redemption came along, it just has this magic to it that can't be beat! one of the few games i'd unironically give a 10/10, and it sucks that it'll likely never get a sequel or remake, though you never know a remake could ruin it somehow. so maybe its for best.
    cheers

      I think I've only owned a half dozen games in my life. Somewhat like you, it was a love for spaghetti westerns that got me into RDR2. I didn't even have a machine that would play it, so I bought a console. It seemed a bit expensive to pay that much just to play one game, but the amount of hours of entertainment I've gotten made it definitely worth it.

    With that being said Red Dead Revolver turned out to be very entertaining in its own right. The initial let down was quickly overcome.

    I think Rockstar could really do something interesting (and make a ton more money) if they replace a Redemption 3, and instead make a Red Dead Revolver 2. It's all in the same universe and roughly same time period and location that eventually leads to a crossover game with related characters. Even more interesting, if the Harlows & Marstons become feuding families in the 1930's Dust Bowl/Great Depression.

But I never got around to playing it. When RDR2 came out, I hadn't played a video game in years but I actually bought a console just to play it. Now I'm playing RDR2 again, enjoying it just as much as the first couple playthroughs, and I suppose I should try to find copies of the first two.

      I believe in Redemption Red is just a folk tale. I Imagine rockstar wanted a different world because I believe they got the rights to Revolver late in it's Development. so the references to Red indicate he is only a story told by people. Which in my opinion is a good way to reference a legendary character like Red. Also Uncle is definitely not Red because he mentions nothing that Red Harlow did.

That was until my mom got fed up with us playing it every waking hour, and she also found out it was Rated M. So she did what any mother would do and snapped the game in half and forced us to sell our PS2. It did us right though, I started playing outside more often. I played it again about 12 years later on the PS3 and it was just as incredible as I remember.

And it stacked. Eventually the entire sky box was covered by the inside and outsides of these massive low poly heads with giant floating eyes too.
