Red Dead Redemption - Grand Theft Western... Oh My!!!

[MattYg1]

For those who remember Rockstar Games Red Dead Revlolver we remember it for its trademark Rockstar style and an outside the square approach.
We also remember imagining what it would be like if it was opened up to a more GTA style of open world gameplay...

This was in a pre- GTAIV and pre RAGE (Rockstar Advance Gaming Engine) era where sandbox games where just beginning (largely thanks to Rockstar) to come into the fray...

Well years after the original comes a totally revamped addition to the Red Dead world.

I look forward to just about every R* title these days, RDR is no different.

I used to be the same, then Bully on PC was pathetically done, closely followed by the PC version of GTA4 having enormous issues. I'll end up getting this one on 360, but I'd love to see a decent PC version too.

Looks smexy

 

[MattYg1]

Lazy lazy ports indeed, but their scope and delivery on console is close to unmatched...

Grand Theft Auto if done correctly on the PC could be developed into a grandios MMO... which both Sam and Dan Houser have mentioned interest for in the past... anyway thats off topic...

Red Dead Revolver... who played it? what did you think?'
Trailer impressions? Preview impressions...?
Am I being a douche? :lol:

 

[bulldog]

Am I being a douche? :lol:

I don't think so.

GTA4 engine + Western theme = Winner

They just have to not f^ck it up, I'm pretty confident they won't.

Oh man...this sounds so good.

I really hope it has multiplayer.

That's be sweet. Shooting indians...stealing cattle...eating beans by campfires...getting seemingly innocuous diseases that render us blind because we have no knowledge of medicine.

Oooh! I want to put small pox in some blankets!!!

[McLovin]

[shiznit]

i heard a couple of days ago it was being delayed... was supposed to come out in mid april now its coming out in may... while its annoying that its being delayed... its only a month.

 

[Jono078]

Yeah they're delaying it by about 3 weeks because they want to have time to heavily market it.

I've already paid off my pre order that I've seemingly had on it for months.

Anything by Rockstar is usually quality these days.

It was originally meant to come out October 09 i think

 

[Thomas]

May 21, kiddies, and I can't wait.

I spoke with a mate of mine who does reviews and such and he was flown down to Sydney for an industry introduction. He said the first 10 minutes he played of multiplayer were spent shooting everything that moved while riding around on a horse.

You can even go hunting with your posse!

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Guys I should have this by friday!

 

[Jono078]

That's SUPER early, how did you manage that? I thought id have it a week from now, the 18th.

 

[Bulldog Force]

So instead of stealing cars you steal horses? Meh, doesn't work for me.

 

[Thomas]

So instead of stealing cars you steal horses? Meh, doesn't work for me.

That's the spirit. None of this "trying the game" stuff, eh?

And yes, you steal horses. Lasso them...shoot a guy off one. Also when you ride them and flog them a bit too hard (press square too much) then they'll buck you off. Additionally, if you are a nice horse owner then your horse will become friends with you and be more gentle.

I'm looking forward to:

• Shooting varmints
• Playing poker against players and then shooting them
• Shooting buzzards
• Tying up a player, dragging himr to the train tracks and wait for a train to come. Then possibly shoot him.
• Shooting cougars
• Shooting bears
• Shooting other players when I've gained their trust.

My character will be a fat Mexican and my name shall be Juan Panchez. My trusty steed will be a 3ft tall narcoleptic donkey called Mr. Gary. Fear me...
