Red Dead Redemption gets first trailer

I loved Red Dead Revolver

Never played the first one, but the trailer looks interesting.

Can't wait, MUST BUY!!!

P.S. if you never played the original, your missing out ^_^

Rad. Rockstar writes the best dialogue in gaming. Hands down.

Red Dead Revolver was Amazing. Great story , great gameplay, great charactors and great Voice Acting.

the only good western since it was Gun. Those are the best to Western themed video games ever and they were both great.

can't wait for this game

Red Dead Redemption, Call of Juarez, Red Steel 2...

Cowboys are the new zombies.

I'd love to see that one come out for the PC.

Is it just me or do the graphics in this game look fantastic?

I never played the original, and I think I might just have to. I love me a good Western.

Is that picture from the new game or the original? Because those graphics look really bad, especially the gun mesh.

I'm pretty psyched, that looks sweet.

Although, I could really do without another game that has a chaingun on rails sequence. That's getting pretty played out.

Here's the trailer with out the IGN watermark or crappy player.

I hope this one gets a PC release that revolver skipped out on. Rockstar seems to be warming up to the PC so I think its possible.

Really looking forward to this, Red Dead Revolver was one of my favorite PS2 games (the local multiplayer was awesome).

Here's the potential problem I see: Great atmosphere, writing, characters only with 2002 era gameplay where you kill dozens and dozens of people each mission and have immersion breaking mini-games and bullet-time gunplay. GTA 4 had the same type of problem; the same old dated gameplay wrapped in new graphics.

There's so much potential for someone to make a realistic, immersive old West game where you meet and interact with more people than you kill, dropped all the bullcrap overused gameplay mechanics, and took into account the limits of 19th century weaponry.

I so wish they would make a Deadwood game.

Do want. I mean.. seriously, that is just nailing the atmosphere. Can't wait.

Easy! By telegram.

the first one wasn't bad... but it wasn't amazing either. I definietly enjoyed it, particularly due to the total lack of Western games. But it was hardly a classic.

That trailer looks cool.

I think this is one of the few games I'll have to plunk down a pre-order for. I loved the first one, so I can hardly wait!

this looks pretty awesome, the trailer alone seems better then 50% of the crap Hollywood pushes out.

I have been waiting for an open-world western to come out. There hasn't been a truly quality experience like that.

I want to be able to rob banks in multiple towns, ride into the desert, have showdowns at high noon, go to a saloon and shoot it up and just be able to do absolutely anything I wanted to in a western setting. Hopefully this game can deliver that!

IGN's article has confirmed a few things -

- The game does use the Euphoria engine - with all people and animals, so a horse can drag a person behind them if the person gets caught in the stirrup, kinda like the car door thing in GTA 4.
- Hunting of animals that have their own a.i. and may even hunt each other
- guns that do replicate the 'real thing' and break down, etc.
- random N.P.C.'s will once again have side quests for you, sounds like more this time than in GTA 4 though, and with more interesting results.
- Three different huge regions (U.S. West region, Northern Territories, Mexico), Rockstar San Diego has said that this is the biggest game world they've created yet in terms of sheer size.

If you want to read their article, just go over there, I guess.

Personally, I'm psyched. I like GTA 4 and this game seems like it really is GTA 4 set in a western environment, difference being that this one seems to promote a lot of aimless wandering through virtual landscapes with you and your horse, as well as shootin' up towns and establishments to your heart's content.
