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!

This is awesome!
I've been itching for another wild west game since I finished GUN. Hope this turns out good. Looks great from the screenshots.

Fucking A'
I loved the first game, and this sounds awesome.
i have been waiting for a sequel to both Red Dead Revolver and Gun. 1 down, 1 to go!
If this is anywhere near as great as the first, i'll buy on release.

So instead staling cars you have to steal horses in this one?

I hope they keep the GTA trash out of this, and keep to more of how the original RDR was.
I hope there is NO GLITCH where the game freezes and if it does they fracking fix it.
It could be fun but I am moreso looking foreward to the Call of Juarez Prequel.
RDR was fun but very dumb in places.

That would be hella fun!
Agreeing with most of the sentiments already posted, the original was a worthwhile game. Detrimentally unpolished in places, it made up for it well enough in other areas that I wasn't bothered too much. I remember looking forward to the original for a long time, back when Capcom was still in control of it and showing off their own trailers...
Gun was definitely more polished. RDR felt more like a spaghetti western, whereas Gun seemed more like a revisionary western. For that reason, I think I favored RDR just a little more; the quirky homage factor put that one over the top for me. Plus, the dueling was indeed fun...!

Never played the first Red Dead, and I kind of regret it. The screen shots make the game look awesome and the comments here make me think I missed out on something.
Definitely looking forward to Red Read 2

We need a Deadwood game!
Deadwood as in the badass HBO series, not what happens to you all when you've drank too much.

If its anything like GUN, I will make sure to keep it in my collection. Probably pick up RDR just to see what I missed out on. Gotta love them westerns!

I missed out on the RDR train, but I'm down for an open-world western. Getting excited...

Yeah, riding on horseback for a change in game is a nice switch. Plus the old six shooters and rifles are cool. RDR was a good one. I look forward to this.
