I'm pretty excited about this game, I loved Red Dead Revolver, played it to death, in fact I still have it.... Might have to fire it up again, for old times' sake

Here is the first 6 hours of Red Dead Redemption in article form:
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/108/1086537p1.html

Edit: So I don't have an exact source for this, it's coming from someone who's supposedly played the game.
But apparently the wanted system in Red Dead has had a complete overhaul from what it is in GTA. Here's the exact quote:

Quote:

Basically you have to kill any witnesses or you WILL get a wanted level - at least in towns. If the witness makes it to the sheriff's office, you've got a bounty on your head. I was messing around in the single player game and killed a person, not realizing I was being watched. I saw a couple-seconds-long cutscene a bit later of a citizen entering the sheriff's office, and then I had a bounty. Pretty sweet system. And I couldn't imagine it working the same if you did it without a town in sight - R* aren't that cruel.

Now, you don't have to have a bounty on you to get shot at, either! Haha. Sometimes I'd do something and just have to deal with citizens pulling their guns out and opening fire

Sounds cool with witnesses reporting crimes!

Ah man, my interest is building up for this game. I might get it at release instead of waiting, just have to check where it's the cheapest to order.

Bags me the role of Colonel Douglas Mortimer.

This game had better have a musical pocket watch...

Knowing Rockstar they'll most likely have references to the Popular westerns.

It'd be awesome if you were standing around in a town, and someone walks by whistling The Good, The bad & The ugly theme.

Or if all the clocks in the game were stuck at 3:10.

In June Rockstar will be releasing free DLC for red dead which will introduce Co-op.

http://www.rockstargames.com/newswir...wnload.article

The article also mentions that there will be two other DLC's out during the summer, but you'll have to pay for these, but if they're anything like the DLC for GTA IV, I'd buy them in a heart beat.

If anyone is getting this on the Ps3, add me at Spike8891 so we can play some multiplayer/Co-op after release.

Agreed. A free roaming Western is something I have wanted for some time, it remains to be seen if they pull it off correctly.

This game is awesome.

Lionclaw · 05-21-10, 12:18 AM

Hopefully I'm getting this today. All those videos and previews hyped me up about this game.

Edit: Came in the mail today!

I've spent about 18 hours in the game so far. Of that I'd say 4 were spent doing main missions. 1 and a half doing side missions, about 1 hour doing random encounters. The rest of the time has been spent exploring, finding treasure, finding plants, hunting animals, and completing challenges.

The challenges are awesome, much like Challenges in Modern Warfare 2, they're broken into four categories, which have levels to work through.
The Categories are:

Hunting, deals with finding, killing, and skinning certain animals. For example level 1 you have to find 4 coyotes and skin them. Level 3 you had to find 5 wolves, kill them with your knife, and skin them. Level 4 which is what I'm now on you have to get 4 Boar Tusks, and 3 armadillo parts. The hard part is that the chances of getting Boar tusks is about 50/50 I killed about 13 to get the required tusks. The other hard part is that boars charge you, which sends you cartwheeling, and lowers your health considerably.

Survivalist you have to find a certain amount of a certain plant, which isn't that hard if you use a Survivalist map. The only problem so far is I'm not far enough in the story to get into Mexico, so I can't complete my current level.

Sharp Shooter For the first level you have to shoot 5 flying birds, a later challenge has you shooting 5 birds from a moving train, and the one after that you have to shoot 2 hats off two different people, without killing them. The hard part is due to the accuracy of the guns, you'll most likely hit them in the head. The level I'm at now(7) requires me to kill 3 Bears with 1 shot a piece.

Treasure Hunter, you find a map and need to find the treasure, once you find the treasure you get the next map and the next level.

Each has 10 levels, and you get a reward for completing each. Plus a Special outfit for getting 10's in each.

Played about 3 hours now, done some missions for Bonnie and the Marshal. Riding a train at the moment, love that steam locomotive.

Love the atmosphere of the game, beautiful scenery! People travelling on the roads, yae-hoos shootin' in the air.

I'm playing a good guy at the moment, been attacked by bad guys.
Once a woman called from a stage coach said she needed help... Turned out there were several bandits that I failed to notice, and they shot in unison, DEAD.

Won some money at poker, stabbed my hand a few times at five finger fillet.

I've hunted a few bucks, made some money selling hides, antlers and meat.

I really like this game so far!

Planning to see Wyatt Earp I bought a few weeks ago, I haven't seen many Western movies, I've seen two with Clint Eastwood though.
