Rockstar, never ones to rest on their laurels, have decided to revisit the Red Dead franchise through the medium of their RAGE engine, which provided gamers with a previously unseen level of detail in Grand Theft Auto IV and Midnight Club Los Angeles. If you thought GTA IV was massive in scope, Redemption promises to be even larger, with a game world drawn heavily on the Old West geography of Mexico, Arizona and Texas, although place names are fictitious in keeping with the Rockstar mentality of providing real environments that include fun game design.

Well I didn't enjoy GTA IV...but anything with a wester theme...I'm sold. Right now I can't put down Call of Juarez:BiB...but it lacks open world. Since rockstar is known for open world games...this could be the western game I've been waiting all along.

I hope they got some real guns like Colt Navy/Army 18xx and some S&W Schofield's...and online mp modes like gta4..i'll cap ya'all :smokin:

Word to that. That was the most irritating part of GTA IV. Made me get sick of answering my actual cell phone.

that was a damn decent write up, nice work.

Interested to see how the horse moves, I think the only other game that has done horse movements right has been Shadow of the Colossus.

This looks like it could be cool.

I thought Gun was fun, in concept (the world was a bit small, but they had the general idea right).

I hope they don't make the control of horses relative to your view direction (like they did in Gun, or with the Mako in Mass Effect). It's a disgusting way to control your 'vehicle', you need to be able to aim independantly of your movement for it to feel right.

has potential, but will be a wait and see just how well Rockstar pull it all off tbh.. unfortunately it doesn't take much for a great game to end up as just another average one.

so you had no issues with the GTA4 PC port, then i take it :p

don't get me wrong, Rockstar does have a great track record, and i doubt this would be anything less than their normal standard, however, you never know it could have one annoying little flaw that annoys you or something.

personally just prefer going into a new IP with little to no expectations :)

Newest trailer

Gotta say that cinematic and presentation wise, this game looks very promising. Let's hope that gameplay is up to snuff too.

New IP? It's the sequel to Red Dead Revolver.

This does indeed look badass, but when is someone going to make a GTA style sandbox game with zombies!

(Not Dead rising, I want actual mobs charging the streets, although DR2 looks promising)
