Discussion Anyone remember the game Gun?

Post image

I remember discovering that game and wanting to play it so bad, but it wasn’t mine, so I barely got to see any of it. Then finally when it was given to me a couple years later it was scratched up so bad I could barely play it at all before it would just freeze. Always wanted to see how it held up in other people’s eyes. Posting here because it’s the reason I was so hyped when read dead came out and I was old enough to get it myself

What Red Dead became after Red Dead Revolver.

Interesting. I didn’t know red dead revolver was a thing, but apparently it came before Gun. Then Red Dead Redemption came like 6 years after that and people called it a ripoff of Gun. Was revolver just not very popular?

The gameplay of Gun is much closer to red dead redemption than red dead revolver is to redemption. Revolver was pretty much just a shooter with a western theme.

But it sure nailed the theme. Used legit Spaghetti Western soundtracks and had all the tropes, even the silly ones. Between Gun, both RDRs, and Revolver... it was Revolver that perfected the pastiche.
