Latest Red Dead Redemption screens sneak up and take us out

I know, its such a shame that the game isn't set in the year 2100 and the characters aren't wearing ridiculous looking body armor that makes them look like the stupid robot football player on fox's NFL broadcasts and isn't a first person shooter...

Not even a little? Tell you what, you go find a fresh avatar, watch Tombstone and Young Guns, then come back here and try again.

@Rickjames

Are you a douche? He isn't required to like the setting. It was an honest, untrolling opinion.
Personally, I'd rather have five futuristic shooters than another damn WWII game, but that's just me.

And since I assume you're making a dig at Halo, get your facts straight. Halo takes place from 2552-2553 (excluding Halo Wars).

He may have came off a bit of a douche...but he has a point...I'm getting sick and tired of games being set in the exact same...how do I put this...not only timeperiod...but the exact same style! I mean...I've had enough Halo clones and future-themed RTS's/Action games...aside from Mass Effect 2/Lost Planet 2...(two games which do the future style in a very unique and interesting matter) ...I could go without a "future" themed game for the year. Modern...and past settings...(aside from WWII) are fine for me. I'm sure there will be some great futuristic games out there...but I'd love for developers to spend time on the past as well.

Shame on you Brian for not liking something another person likes

Tombstone is a good movie but don't bother with Young Guns. If you don't like Pale Rider/High Plains Drifter/Fistful of Dollars/Unforgiven, you simply have no taste in anything whatsoever.

Honestly I didn't like westerns until I saw Eastwood ones and now I really like them, if they're good. Deadwood is the greatest TV show ever made.

The old black-and-white ones where guys clutch their chest and fall off of balconies, though, I can do without.

What I'm saying is, Brian, you're a stupid close-minded babby.

Oh and it's hilarious how Bradworst took a joke about Generic Sci-Fi FPSs to be specifically about his Beloved Halo.

^ Not only that, but some of the beautiful shots in "Butch Cassidey and the Sundance Kid" helped me appreciate westerns much more, prior to that, I heart was like stone, such as Brian's.

I really wish more modern westerns would be made. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is one of the best westerns ever, and I enjoyed 3:10 to Yuma.

AoJJ has quite a few gorgeous shots much like Butch Cassidy, too. Really, the Wild West is a very interesting and stunning setting if it's used correctly.

You all claim to be Western fans, and yet didn't mention The Magnificent Seven.

You all fail. Badly.

The good, The bad and the ugly. Im not a western fan, but man, i do love mister Ennio Morricone...

Few days ago Metallica came to my country, that's why i remembered it.-

@Bradwart:

Dude, chill out. I didn't realize that sarcasm could only be used to point out trolls as you believe--never said Brian was trolling. Just merely pointing out that first person shooters (Sci-fi ones in particular) are probably the most dominant game genre ever and that it is somewhat refreshing to have a company really attempt doing a fantastic job for a different setting in a non-first person shooter.

And btw, I don't know how old you are, but there are more sci-fi FPS's than Halo--I was referring to them in general not one particular franchise in particular (more so Unreal series, Quake II-IV). I grew up with the Dooms and first two Quakes (never played Halo) so the sci-fi setting has been over-done in my opinion. Hell I think that Id isn't popular anymore because their art-direction style has been so recycled that no one wants to play any of their generic sci-fi FPS anymore. I'd gladly jump on a new Commander Keen...

I'm just feel sorry for you and the fact that 95% of Joystiq readers wish that it was possible for the internet to put a restraining order on you from commenting here.

@Brian

No need for the hate bro.

@Gutsman's

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is my fave of all time.

@Bradwart

Magnificent Seven is decent only because it has Yul Brynner, but I prefer the Seven Samurai as its the original storyline.

Young Guns was a half joke, just to point out there's really something for everyone in the Western genre. I prefer 7 Samurai as well, or Samurai movies in general to Westerns. But saying "I don't like western movies" is akin to saying something like "I don't like science/speculative fiction films," or "I don't like comedies." in that you obviously don't know about which you speak because it's coming from ignorance.

To me it looks a bit washed out but maybe that's what they're going for.

@ Huey2k2

Me too, I didn't really like Call of Jaurez though. I really hope this one turns out to be great... nice avatar too.

Ah, he's got restricted characters in his handle.

Manifest, this was meant for you.

What?!

What. No it won't. I think in April the only other game coming out is SC:Conviction.

Am i the only one that liked the god damn controls of GTA IV?

no, I hear they're quite popular among people who enjoy mashing a button to move faster than a segway with one wheel missing. ;-)

What was wrong with the controls in GTAIV?

they weren't horrific, at least they were precise, but the problem was the stupid run/sprint mechanism. I hate having to mash a button in order to move any faster than a tortoise in leg bracings.

i'm just trying to hold my breath that the game is not possibly a train-wreck, as reported earlier on joystiq.

GREAT SCOTTS! It's seems a parabolic shift in time has altered my reply from being directly under

Prof. Von Manifest (''Money! Material lust!! Money! Life's only treasure!!'') [PSN: Manifest37]

Fuck time. Both comments were destroyed.

It's the ' in his name. Makes it impossible to reply from what I know.
