Red Dead Redemption General Chat

[beavis]

 

Rockstar San Diego is kicking the dirt off its boots and returning to the American west with Red Dead Redemption. Developed using Rockstar's proprietary RAGE engine, the sequel to 2004's Red Dead Revolver promises an open-world complete with "strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment" when it pulls into town this fall for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

 

Few gameplay details have been revealed regarding the upcoming title, which looks to cast players not in the role of Revolver's bounty hunter lead Red Halow but instead a former outlaw named John Marston during the turn of the 20th century. Open world. A bad guy turned good. Just throw in Miss Kitty and her band of hookers and we're all set for GTA in the Wild West. Yee haw!

 

Red Dead Redemption will be available in fall 2009 for the Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 consoles

"when it pulls into town this fall for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360".

 

Awesome stuff, i never played the original on PS2 so i felt like i missed out, glad i wont be missing out again.

 

It looks pretty good and i loved Gun, so i'm looking forward to going cowboy .

[Omnia sunt Communia]

Grand Theft Auto: Wild West? Yes please.

[tuareg]

This is f*cking excellent. I can't wait!

[Super Handybundle]

haha, very nice, wild west version! if the setting would be country side, only minimal houses and such, who can they probably make a long gametime out of this

Leave it to R* to find some engenious way to do that.

[Vanillainy]

Oh yes. Red Dead was sweet on the PS2, this will be great.

[CarpetDweller]

I'm glad we've finally heard something about this. It's been years since that bit of western footage was first shown.

I never finished Red Dead Revolver. It's just one of those games that I always meant to get back to but never did.

 

I hope it's proper free-roam open world because that's the reason I prefered Gun to Red Dead Revolver. Gun somehow felt more GTAish to me because I could just ride off and do my own thing.

 

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Ok so if this is the western project they showed at E3 07' which they said was a glimpse of

a PS3 exclusive from Rockstar Games and they say its on 360 now, WTH is the PS3 exclusive??

[AndyGanteks]

Awesome.

 

After Gun there wasnt a good Western game at all, so this should do it.

[Themanwiththeplan]

Can't wait for this, loved the original and this looks ace.

[Voodoo]

Those screens look excellent. I'm looking forward to horsejacking and doing ridebys on the local whorehouse. I hope there will be a posse control system.

It will be an 'open world' game, based on RAGE... doesn't that suggest anything? Like 'Bully' was based in part on the GTA III style engine, would there be a chance this game would run on (parts of a) GTA IV engine? If it would be like Bully-ish concept transition, I most certainly will buy it once it gets to around the 35 euro price point in retail... which strangely is when I start buying console games

[Black-hawk]

Graphics ain't that hot.

[Reincarnated]

This made my day. Finally a real open-world western (not discounting Gun, but it felt empty after you beat it). Hopefully, they'll pull this one off right.

[Sunrise Driver]

Should go and check Red Dead Revolver on PS2. And R*: don't be console whores, release it on PC.

I'm sure they will after a while. Just like GTA4. I only hope they don't f*ck it up like GTA4...

[Rick88]

I just recently played Red Read Revolver and it was just freaking awesome. The duels and showdowns in general were badass. I can't wait for this one though, open-world style? Bring it on.

Are you talking about L.A. Noire? Thats another game Rockstar needs to bring up some information/release date possibilites about.

[s-paco]

West-Side!

 

Oh no wait that's something else.

 

 

I want to see what this game is all about, it's from R* so it should be good (fanboy ).

[SWEETSAPRIK]

I played the original and thought it was pretty damn good. Especially playing deathmatch. Although at the time I seemed to be in the minority. This looks to be even better.

[Effy in Chains]

This sounds like it will be an awesome game. I can't wait to get out there and kill some cattle rustlers.

[Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake]

I never played the original. I can recall really wanting it, but then I read a mostly negative review and said screw it.

[freak2121]

They better release a PC version or Rockstar will go on my official console whore list.

[ryuclan]

I can't wait until this comes out. Been wondering when I'd was coming.

[GodfatherITB]

I really enjoyed Red Dead Revolver. Looking forward to playing this one, hopefully it retains the same vibe that the original had which made it so enjoyable to me.

[NinjaWJ]

Whoa that's great that its coming to the next gen! Can't wait!

[MC.]

Wow that looks badass especially with the new protagonist. I should check out the story sometime and same for the previous game.
