Loved seeing Matt slowly realize how actually fun this game was. It was no Red Dead Redemption mind you, but I've got good memories of running this inbetween San Andreas sessions as a kid
It had that guy with a cannon arm, and I was always impressed by that as a 12 year old. This game holds a bit of a special place in my heart. It's fun that they turned this game into a tall tale, told around the campfire, in Red Dead Redemption 1.
@@HereIam123 Lmao it's a cool feeling listening to npcs talk about it and just being like "Yeah, I was that guy back in the day". Also am I the only one that thinks Revolver had the best dueling mechanics of the 3 games?
@@smokey3504 I agree, the showdown mechanics in Revolver felt more challenging, like you had to earn the Showdown shots. In RDR 1 and 2, it's a little too easy.
Honestly the multiplayer of this game has still yet to ever have anything close.
Red Dead Revolver is one of my favorite games of all time, I used to play the HELL out of it during the PS2 era, and in my High School years I actually ended up being one of the first people (atleast publically online) to speedrun the game and figure out some fun tricks. I still remember the pure elation when I saw the first ads for Redemption because I honestly never expected that the Red Dead series would ever continue. This game has so much personality, and a lot of really good moments.
That Paizuri fellow sure does rub me the wrong way .
This is the first time I've ever heard Matt say "family" without echoing it like in Punisher lol
😂 right
You should keep playing it. There are actually 5 playable characters in the main story and basically all named enemies can be played in the multiplayer. Very fun game indeed.
I LOVED the fact it had multiple playable characters. They all had their own “specials” too. Such a good and creative game. I had to have beaten the main story 4 or 5 times when I was younger. And don’t get me started on the multiplayer. My friends and I put in countless hours.
There's even a mission or two where you play as one of the villains (and it's one of the hardest in the game lol).
@@chemergency You play as diego, right? Totally forgot about that.
I have an apt analogy for the Capcom losing Red Dead scenario. Eric Bischoff firing Stunning Steve Austin. Without events happening the way they did, the results would not have been the same. If Steve had stayed in WCW, we would've never seen Stone Cold and his career would never have reached the same heights and almost single-handedly usher in the hottest period in pro wrestling history. Bischoff doesn't regret firing him for this reason. Same goes for Red Dead, I'm sure Capcom aren't bothered by it either
It’s true. Never understood why people think Capcom selling Red Dead was a big mistake when the only reason it was the huge success it was at all was because they sold it.
I mean technically it was the same studio working on it wither way. Since Angel Studios that was working on the Capcom game then became Rockstar San Diego that ended up making Red Dead Redemption. So it's not impossible the games could have ended up similar.
My grandfather beat this game on every single difficulty level and on Red Wood Revolver.
My fond memories of this game are watching him play.
The load screen cinematic style was a hallmark of low budget spaghetti westerns made to capitalize on the Leone-Eastwood films. The plot takes cues from cult classics like Death Rides A Horse and Silver Saddle. The soundtrack to this game reads like a list of some of the underrated films of the subgenre.
When the dog pees on the bandit's boots and he shoots it dead, I laughed so hard when I originally saw that cutscene and still do to this day.
Gun 2 definitely needs to be on What Happun? Neversoft was on the cusps of making their own Red Dead Redemption but Activision gotta Activision even when the first one sold very well.
I read somewhere that there had been rumours of a wild west GTA, going back to the GTA3 days, which inspired Neversoft to make Gun, then that inspired Rockstar to make Red Dead Redemption an open world.
Just deleted gun off my Wii HDD. Gave it a go a few times and couldn't get into it
I'm more of a Spaghetti Western fan than I am "traditional" Westerns, so this game hit me right in the feels when it came out, and it was an absolute enjoyed first-release purchase. Plus, I also appreciate that this game kind of operates the same way as "The Warriors", in that it gives you options for extra tasks, but it doesn't feel overwhelmingly "open world".
Pig Josh is unironically one of the best boss fights in any game ever, I'd love to see Matt's reaction to it and he only needs to start the next mission to see it.
Know why this game doesn’t get more love? No realistic horse testicle physics.
Horse testicle physics is what makes or breaks a game for me, sorry.
Not even John Wick killed that many people over a dead dog 😆
Love the heavily compressed gun shot sounds. They sound like they're coming from an old cell phone.
"Gun shots for menu sounds? What is this? Shadow the Hedgehog?"
I had a Mandela Effect moment for a long time cuz I thought Capcom's logo was on the box ... might've confused that for Rockstar's logo? Man, this game looks like a lot of fun, I might think about giving it a try sometime.
I will always remember Pig Josh and that one guy that does straight up magic when fighting against Red
I played this game so many years ago and i really enjoyed it. One thing i found interesting about this game is how it goes for a more wacky vibe amidst all the seriousness from time to time, like one of the bosses having a coffin with a mounted gatling gun or the guy with the dynamites strapped all over him. And Mr. Kelley? Oh boy... He's definitely something.
This is one of those games where it's short enough that I would just beat it over and over again whenever the mood struck me. My friends and I would even play Showdown here and there, even though anyone that had Deadeye were way OP.
I randomly found you on TH-cam and I LOVE THIS GAME A GREAT GAME FROM MY CHILDHOOD
The filters on the game are unique. I've never experienced anything like it since. So glad I hunted down this game. R* 4 Life!!
Please keeping playing this! Gets even better later
i have put more time into this game than any other game in my life. Me and my brothers would play this for hours and hours. we would constantly have to 100% because our disc was scratched so it was between us to take turns to do so. But this game is such a sleeper of a game. its not the best but holy crap it has heart and character. one of my favorite games of all time
This was an absolute joy to play when it released and countless hours were spent in multiplayer with friends having nothing but shootouts. I was super salty when this never received a proper sequel, but having both Redemption games reference it gave such a warm, fuzzy feeling for all the wonderful moments shared in Revolver.
Ohh I remember playing this one on PS4 after completing RDR2 and I was just…like it was really fun still, of course, but going from a game where the idealistic outlaws have to deal with civilization catching up with them and threatening their way of life and then going to a game where you fight someone wielding a casket Gatling gun who looks like a skeleton…it was something lemme say.
Played this before Redemption came out. This is an awesome game. I would love a continuation to Red's story.
This was one of my favorite games from back in the day. A mainstay on my PS2, played to completion at least once a week for at least a year.
I adored this game on the PS2, played through the story, played with my neice and my friends in multiplayer, hella fun.
i love this game so much more than the two that came after it, this game slaps. one of my favorites of all team easy, so many quotes from this game live in my head for free.
It really nailed the spaghetti western experience. Definitely enjoyed this more than RDR, but imo RDR2 has a lot going for it.
Lol yea ok
Gul Dukat did the preacher's voice for the Call of Juarez series.
I played this game at least 15 times as a kid on the Xbox, loved the hell out of this game. Actually preferred Red Dead Revolver over Gun. Showdowns were a pain the first time around, but once you get down the movements. It's a cake walk, the characters were outrageous,the story was great, and red was one of my favorite character designs. Clint eastwood look and all
Another one of Matt's videos where I'm thinking "Oh no, he quit right before he got to the BLANK!"
(in this case BLANK refers to the level where you're fighting evil circus midgets - man this game was wild compared to the sequels!)
Kinda wish there's more western shooters like this in this 60s Spaghetti western aesthetic.
Absolute classic game. I got so excited to see this pop up on my feed. And the Training Day reference!
I played this game through for my first time last year. It was really fun and it was super cheap on the PS4 store.
*"Damn son!"*
What I love about Red Dead Revolver is that apparently, according to some developers, it's not set in the same universe as Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 (Or, as I like to call them, Red Dead Revolver 2 and 3).
SO WHY DID THEY KEEP THE TITLE THEN.
I got 7 hours into this game but then the data on my memory card got corrupted and I didn't have the heart to start it up again
Oof 😣
That hurts.
I remember playing this game with my brother and sister when we were young and having an absolute blast!
Red Dead Redemption 2 - Ram Ranch Edition.
You can unlock multiplayer stuff just by playing the multiplayer and I highly recommend it, it's a lot of fun.
It even has bot support, up to 4 players, human or bots.
Interesting tidbit about 'Gun', the lead character is voiced by Thomas Jane.
Would love to see Matt pick this back up and continue it. The game gets super wild.
man, I was obsessed with this game. definitely janky in retrospect, but i absolutely loved it.
This game has so many memorable characters. From Mr. Black, the gatling gun in a coffin toting baddie. To the guy that ran around with bear claws as his main weapon.
Didn't know anything about this game util now but it looks hilarious
The multiplayer in this is amazing. You have to play it with Liam
10:40 Got a 5 hour energy drink ad ( the trip.) which you can sarcastically say that it’s for them.
I love this game, wish Red Harlow would've showed up in the main stories of Red Dead 1 or 2
I do like how hes a tall tale that told around campfires in the first game. Makes it feel like rockstar cared still
Shout out to that DLC for red dead online that let you play as the revolver characters. I loved free roaming as red harlow
@@coreytrevor1920 I did the same thing
In the Redemption universe, Red Harlow is more of a legend akin to King Arthur.
I remember playing this as a kid. Haven't seen it since and who better to bring it back than Matt? That said, Matt...I dunno how into repeat performances you are but I highly, HIGHLY recommend you play this more. The charm and craziness only go further beyond from here. From bandit circus midgets to burly outlaws with chins as wide as dinner plates that can RIP BOULDERS OUT OF THE GROUND. It may not catch on as much as MK New Era but you gotta play till at least Bad Bessie. You and your audience won't regret it.
This honestly looks better than I expected. I kinda missed this one back in the day. Nearly bought it, just never did. I oughta change that
This was my first ps2 game, as a child i couldn't pass the tutorial cuz I didn't know english at the time.
Really enjoying this series of older titles, very entertaining
Thanks for playing my recommendation
🎶 His name is Red, his dad is Dead, and he uses a Revolver 🎶
Please continue this series had too much fun watching
This game was a blast to play through. Matt you should finish this, I and many others I suspect would watch multiple episodes of Red Dead Revolver.
Love this game, just beat it again a few weeks ago
Man, couldn't escape this video game box art back in the day, nostalgic
Paizuri the outlaw lmao
Few people know this but the actual first game in this series is Custer's Revenge for the Atari 2600.
I remember liking this a ton more than G.U.N.
I loved all the Futurama references.
This is one of my favourite PS2 games. I enoyed it more than Red Dead Redemption 1, though obviously no where near as impressive I love the tight focus on what it does well. The soundtrack is great too, all classic Spaghetti Western tracks from the 60s. The multiplayer was great fun with 4 players too.
Appreciate the SunsetRiders shoutout. That needs a reissue AND a reboot. MAKE IT SOOO *Picard voice*
The split screen mode on this game is insanely fun. Partially due to the fact my copy is so scratched up on the back of the disc that there are these absolutely crazy glitches, like random clown laughter or one time when my character got set on fire and started slidin around on his belly
My favorite game that I still play.
This game was amazing
My favorite Red Dead game by far
Friggin love this game!!
14:01 You can't hide from me. I'm a very patient man. I once waited an hour and a half for a haircut.
the only thing I remember of this game is hats flying off heads and my brother raging at some lady with a whip being the hardest boss in the game
Yes Matt,play Gun for us.I still have the disc somewhere.
THE PAIZURI
YOU GO FOR IT, QUEEN
You should do a Wha Happun on RDR2. I know that game is amazing and commercially successful, but I heard it had a really fraught development history. Would love to see a video essay from you on it!
Omg. I remember this game. I watched my brothers play it forever ago!
I
LOVE
THIS
GAME
I'd totally watch you do Gun. I actually kinda like that one. I always thought of it as a poor man's Red Dead.
Loved this game when I played it on the Xbox, even though it may not have aged well.
I still wished Rockstar would go back to being experimental as opposed to doing sandbox games, every few years like they have been now.
I LOVED this game
Wow, I just ignored this title thinking it would be janky boring garbage. I legit want to play this now
The scene that may have inspired John Marston and John Wick at the same time
Thank you!
I'm a spaghetti western fan myself and when Read Dead Redemption came out I was so sad I coudn't afford a PS3. But someday someone told me that RD Redemption was actually a sequel of a PS2 game.
Read Red Revolver didn't look nothing la RD Redemption, but it was so, so funny, so well done, so western. It was one of the few PS2 I really enjoyed a lot. One of my favourites of all time.
Up to this day I didn't play RD Redemption yet. I don't know. I didn't play a game for a decade. And now I saw it like somewhat an open world game with stunning graphics and maybe "friendly gameplay/difficulty" , just the type of game I never liked.
Awesome gameplay 👏👌
Remember playing and liking this game as a kid, but Read Dead Redemption will still be my favorite game in the series, sadly I could not get into Red Dead Redemption 2.
Gun was my favorite game for a minute.
This game is pretty good. I also liked Gun.
You can't go saying you're playing cowboy games without playing Gun. Music in that game kicks ass. It drove me crazy that I could never 100% it, I've played through it three times but each time one of the gold spots wouldn't spawn in :P Great game though from what I remember
I remember gun, played it on the 360. I don’t particularly remember it being that good, and there were 2 bosses that were an absolute chore to deal with.
Now I kind of regret never playing this game
btw there's a leaked alpha (capcom) version of the game floating somewhere on the internet
I recommend you play Rising Zan: Samurai Gunman if you haven't played it already. Just watch the intro and I'm sure you'd agree.
Yes! Do a What Happened on Gun!
Yes! Do a video about "Gun". :-)
I wish they were going to Candy Apple Mountain...
PLZ do gun its shockingly charming, a little janky on pc. If you 100% the game you get a mini hand held cannon that shoots fullsize cannon balls
The deathmatch mode for this game was the fuckin tits back in the day! The stuff of childhood sleepover memories!
i want to see the alternative universe where red dead is a capcom ip
I almost beat this game and it glitched like two levels before the end
