Red Dead Redemption

I'm actually surprised of the lack of hype for this game.

I can understand here because there is no official PC version coming, but in total the game seems to be underhyped.

I for one am expectantly waiting for it.

For those of you who are unaware of what the game is, It's a Rockstar Games game, an indirect sequel of Red Dead Revolver, its basically GTA meets the wild west.

A couple of features:
The Ability to hunt and skin animals for money
The ability to play poker/black jack
You can buy, steal, or tame horses.
There is a lasso that you can use on enemies or horses.
Instead of your typical multiplayer lobby, where you just look at a window. When you enter multiplayer in Red Dead you'll be in a 16 player Free roam, where you can do whatever you'd like. When the Host decides it's time to start playing a match, the map they're playing on will load up, and all 16 players will be dragged along. Also in the beginning of a match, there will be a draw, all players will be in a circle, the player or team that kills off all the other enemies will have a head start to getting to weapons/and good spots.

Anyone getting it for PS3/360? Or waiting for the PC version?

PC if it isn't a rubbish port.

Spike88 · 04-25-10, 10:15 PM

As long as Rockstar Torronto doesn't make it, the port should be good.

Hey, that looks interesting! Thanks.

Might get it for the 360 after the price drops a little.

@ Spike88 It says Rockstar San Diego on the official site, or is another part of Rockstar responsible for porting their games to the PC?

EDIT: Found a list of Rockstar Games studios. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockstar_Games

I really liked Call of Juarez 2. If RDR ia anything like that but with more free-roaming option it's a sure buy.
The videos look promising.

When Rockstar games port a game, the main studio that made the game usually does it. But I think Rockstar North was busy with the GTA expansions, so they handed it over to Torronto. San Diego is making Red Dead Redemption because they made Red Dead Revolver. As long as their not busy with anything they'll most likely handle the Port, if there is one.

Call of Juarez 2 was great, although I never finished it. I tried yesterday but it was annoying that the game Locked up for 3-4 seconds every 4 minutes to autosave.

In terms of videos to watch of RDR I'd suggest
Life in the West
Life in the West Part II
Multiplayer Free Roam
And Multiplayer Modes

Also here is the website with all of their videos:
