Red Dead Redemption Machinima Short Film Review
Machinima has been a favorite form of online entertainment for years, but rarely does anyone from Hollywood notice or even get behind the wheel and make some of their own. That changed when Rockstar Games decided to make a short film to promote their newest release “Red Dead Redemption”. Instead of creating a live action short, they decided to hand over their graphics engine to John Hillcoat, director of The Road and The Proposition. What he did was use all of the in-game characters to create a movie within the game world itself.
The machinima short film starts different from the game, but you get introduced to John Marston, a former gang member sent to kill the men he once called friends. He teams up with the sheriff of Armadillo and a few others to find John’s former gang. The whole experience plays out like a cat-and-mouse game with bullets and gunpowder. Towards the end, John and Co. end up using the Trojan horse technique to gain access to a fort where is old posse is setting up shop (in which they storm the fort armed with a Gatling gun).
When it comes to machinima, this short film was created beautifully. The characters actions were in sync and some of the dialog was rerecorded to fill in certain segments. Some of the language was edited due to the fact that FOX was chosen to air the film on their network. Even though it wasn’t created the same way as many videos posted on YouTube, John Hillcoat used nothing but what was in the game to make a 30 minute film that was worthy of being aired on TV.
As for the story of this machinima short film, it was missing a few pieces of info that may have confused or alienated some views who never played Red Dead Redemption. Also, without giving away specifics, the ending was a bit clich, but good enough to get you interested in buying the game and finishing the story. Overall, the plot was simple and to the point. Plus the action sequences captured the style of gameplay great and gave you a good idea of what to expect if you plan to buy the game. The characters each had their own personalities that get you interested in the lives and world these individuals live in.
You can watch the Red Dead Redemption short film online on various gamer websites and YouTube as well. If you want the game, you can pick it up for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 for $60. You can find it cheaper if you don’t mind buying a used copy from Gamestop or Amazon.com. The machinima short made by Hillcoat is just one example of what could be done if you let Hollywood use a technique created by video gamers. This may even make film makers rethink what a video game movie should be.

Red Dead Redemption Private Match Problems?
Well just got Red Dead Redemption the game is sick but as everyone has probably found out there are some multiplayer issues. On top of disappearing weapons and invisible people, i’ve been having a specific connectivity issue. I can invite one of my friends into my private match but when i invite more than one, the game kicks my other friend out of the game.
This is ridiculously annoying seeing as one of the main reasons my friends and i got this game is so we could ride around in a gang and light stuff up with pistols and rifles as a team. I want to know if anyone else is having the same issue? My friends and i connect fine in every other game we play and all have open NAT’s. Supposedly Rockstar released a patch today and its supposed to have been distributed, but i’ve gotten no update and the problems are still there. Anyone having similar issues?
hi
Yeh im having the exact same problems, searching the net seems to bring up more of the same thing. I downloaded an update when i first loaded the game but it doesnt seem to have done anything for me. Seriously hoping they sort it out and its not going to remain broken forever. The free roam section is one of the things i specifically bought it for.
