Red Dead Redemption

[unbroken]

Didn't see any posts about this game. Who else is excited for this? I didn't hear much about this game until today and decided to check out all the video and now I'm beyond stoked.

Apparently it's a full open world western game. It looks similar to an Oblivion style game but with an improved Red Dead Revolver shooting system. You can be good or evil and do tons of quests. Check out some videos:

Some of the scenery is breathtaking. Unless this gets terrible reviews, I'll definitely be picking this up this month.

I'll get it when its cheaper, haven't seen much western games since Gun and the first Red Dead game. Looks good.

edit: Oh and I highly doubt this game will get bad reviews its a Rockstar game.

2nd edit: its not for PC it doesn't look like

Give me Gun 2... then I'll be excited. Why this game has no sequel I've no idea.

Seeing every other western game get a sequel (Call of Warez and the terrible Red Dead Revolver) and Gun goes without is completely unjust. Gun, imo, is one of the greatest games ever made and a shining example of near perfect game design.

I'll admit, Red Dead Redemption does look very cool and I'm certainly going to check it out, I'm just bitter that there is no new Gun in the works.

Yeah I don't get it either, and the fact that Gun got so cheap in like 2 months. I bought that game for like full price ! There's gotta be something behind it all.

That pretty much sums it up for me. A Western game that isn't GUN 2.

I don't know, this game looks awesome. I already preordered it.

Neversoft/Activision are too busy raking in the cash from guitar hero sequels to invest in a Gun follow-up.

It's funny when I say I havn't seen a guitar hero game in a long time, seeing its only been 4 months or something like that, but that's pretty weird for a GH game. Usually you get like 2 of them in 4 months. Guess they ran outta songs.

Ever since Rockstar started putting good gameplay and a good amount of realism in their games is when I've started to like their games(GTA4.) It's nice that they modified the engine they used on GTA4 so now that everything is even better.

I've wanted this game for quite some time but as usual I'm going to wait until I can find it for a really good deal or wait until it gets a large price drop. I can see this as one of my favorite next gen games.

i dont know what you guys are smoking but Gun was garbage. This looks awesome, haters need to stay out of this thread. If you watch the videos you'll notice this surpasses any other western in any shape or form

I doubt it will surpass Outlaws, the best western (no pun intended) ever IMO. If any game needed a sequel, or even a remake, it's Outlaws.

Considering that Gun was released 5 years ago then I'd hope that Red Dead Redemption would be better.

I've never played Gun but it can't be any worse than Rising Zan or Samurai Western. Not bad games, but definitely not really good.

[crazyjackcsa]

I think it looks really good. And GUN for what it was, was a pretty sweet game. The only thing holding it back was there wasn't a ton to do in the open world.

Sort of close to the release date. Anyone picking it up? What system?

I'm going to go ahead and take a page from the kupo book and say I'm going to wait until it's cheaper to pick it up (for the 360 btw).

Not that I don't think it will be worth full price, I've just got a lot of other games to play right now. I really hope it turns into a "must-have", though. An open world western game just sounds too fun.

FYI: Pre-ordering this game with Amazon nets you a $20 gift card. You're essentially getting the game for $40.

I pre-ordered it months ago and locked in the lowest price ($56.99). Also...remember Amazon has no tax and free shipping.

Yeah, $40 is a good price and if you have Amazon Prime, you get release-day shipping for free.

I ordered it when gamestop had all there codes stacking a few weeks ago. It came to $39.98, plus I'm supposed to get a 10 coupon for future use. I think I would have gladly paid $60 for it, after seeing all those videos of what it looks and plays like. I can't wait.

[BHvrd]

Gotta admit this game looks pretty cool.

[kupomogli]

You going to pick it up Bhvrd?
