That’s a Christmas movie right there.
For me, that’s Westerns.
For other people, it may beThe Lord of the Rings,Jurassic Park, orHarry Potter.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Casts A Long Shadow
I know what you’re thinking.
“But Sophie, there is a cowboy video game!
A really famous one!”.
First off, my name is Stacey, and second off, I know.
I love the original Red Dead Redemption as well, and played Revolver many moons ago.
I’ve also played the three Call of Juarez games actually set in the Wild West.
My question is ‘What next’?
A new, big cowboy game.
It’s so odd to me that we have so few.
The obvious problem is Red Dead Redemption itself.
If you make a cowboy game with triple-A ambitions, you will invariably be compared to Red Dead Redemption.
Maybe we’ll finally get Agent.
Death Rides A Patriot Exosuit
But it’s not just Rockstar’s fault.
Maybe five if you stretch to Soldiers, but really Soldiers are just modern day Knights.
Anyway, the point is, video games have not caught up with the science.
Tons of video games.
Between fantasy epics and shooters, this archetype is well sated.
There are so many that no single game owns the ideal.
But other character types aren’t so lucky.
Speaking ofAssassin’s Creed, it seems to have cornered the market on Pirates with Black Flag.
The gaming world needs more Pirates, more Samurai, and most importantly, more Cowboys.
Make some Wild West games and hang ‘em high for the whole world to see.
