This game looks insanely good. Its GTA set in the Old West.

ya this looks great. I really need to finish GTA4 and Fallout 3 before I get any new games though

Game got pushed back by 3 weeks. Its not out until May now.

Looking forward to this one.

#1 game I've been waiting for. It looks amazing.

ps3 keeps coming out with more games...best buy has a gamers club for every $150 you spend you get a $10 gc looks like im on my way

Rockstar Games = FTW

Wow, that's kind of a crappy deal.

http://www.cheapassgamer.com

Love it.

That was my favorite game ever for XBOX. Really looking 4ward to this.

I don't think you have to buy it all at the same time, i think it just adds up like their regular rewardzone purchaes accumulate points.

Still a crappy deal.

I got a $20 gift card from Toys R Us a month back for buying Dante's Inferno. Didn't pre-order or anything, just had to buy it. Hell I got a $10 gift card just for buying Scribblenauts.

Amazon gives $10 game credits out all the time for pre-ordering/purchasing games.

You should have been paid twice that for buying Dante's Inferno.

ROFL

Is it worth a rental, though?

I think it's worth a purchase. I really enjoy the story (almost done with it) and it's mindless fun with very good graphics.

It's also VERY HARD if you put it at the high difficulty.

Hmm, I might buy it if it goes down to like $15 or something. The only SP games I buy have to be very special (GTA and Bioware caliber). Other than that I'll only spend $60 on a game that I know will last (multiplayer, racing, sports).

CAG FTW. I mostly buy through Amazon. Got GOWIII preordered for $36.99 thanks to credit I got from another game.

I don't like to limit myself like that.

That's because you're obvioulsy a baller. I don't have $60 to throw away on 20 hours of gameplay. :)

Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer Hands On Preview – Pistols At Dawn
Written Thursday, April 08, 2010 by Richard Walker


We're cowboys at heart, not game journalists. We'd rather jump on the back of a horse, round up some bandits and then gallop back into town for a game of poker, then spend a warm night with a hooker, a tin bath by the fire and a bottle of bourbon. As it is, we get to write all day, then go to bed with a comic book and a mug of cocoa. It's not exactly a match for the cowboy lifestyle we were meant for.

As such, we've been itching to get some hands-on time with Rockstar's Western opus for months now, as it's about as close to living the Wild West dream as we're ever likely to get. So when the invite came through telling us that the first round of Red Dead Redemption multiplayer sessions were to take place at Rockstar's London offices, we naturally leapt at the chance.

In an international affair, we were pitted against games journos from all over Europe and were thrust straight into Red Dead's free-roam hub; the instruction not to shoot one another until we're given permission instantly goes out of the window. Like GTA, between multiplayer matches you're given the entire single-player map to explore, so pushing up on the d-pad to whistle for a horse is a good idea if you want to quickly get around the towns and homesteads dotted around Redemption's vast world. That being said, most of the time you're likely to find players just killing each other for shits and giggles. Kill an innocent non-playable pedestrian though, and you can expect to be hunted and executed by the law.


The opportunity to simply waste time messing around amongst the miles of desert and scrub is infinite, with random emergent events and the detailed animal ecology tossing up all manner of interesting distractions. But it's the host of game modes that provide the real meat of Red Dead's multiplayer and we got to check out four of them during our intensive hands-on play session.

Before we plunged into the competitive stuff, we start with a posse leader who sets a waypoint for the entire gang of sixteen players to follow. So saddling up and riding to a marked gang hideout where a group of bandits are holed up, we canter down the trail, taking care not to kick our horse to death. Upon arrival, a gunfight immediately breaks out, triggering even more undesirables to spill into the area from the surrounding ridge, which in turn leads to an ambush and an even busier, more frenetic gun battle.

It's great fun that eventually leads on to other criminal strongholds, such as an abandoned mansion where our foolhardy decision to sling several sticks of dynamite through the front door ends with us being sworn at by a French journo who gets caught in an errant explosion. Oops! As each mission ends, a statistics screen pops up giving you the lowdown on how well (or how poorly) you did, and as it happens, our dynamite-fuelled rampage pushes us to the top of the scoreboard. Ha! Take that France!




Back to the lobby area once more where activity descends into a sixteen-way fist fight, before it's time to sample 'Gang Shootout' – a straightforward Team Deathmatch that pits two warring factions head-to-head against one another. Lawmen, Miners, Rebeldes, Dutch's Gang and The American Army are some of the groups that feature, and each match begins with a standoff until there's only one man left standing. It's literally pistols at dawn, where the fastest gun wins and when we play the every-man-for-themselves Shootout later on, the action opens with all 16-players stood in a circle for a Mexican standoff that would make Quentin Tarantino cream in his pants.


Moving onto 'Gold Rush' – a game type that has you collecting and gathering bags of gold dotted around the map before depositing them into nearby chests to score a point – we start to get a feel for the game mechanics, pressing right bumper to gracefully slide into cover, dashing to green markers on the map to collect Deadeye pick-ups and hoarding as many weapons as we can from handy sparkling crates.

In single-player, Deadeye slows time, enabling you to paint red crosses on nearby enemies, and it works in much the same way in multiplayer, boosting accuracy without the aid of slow-motion. Weapons meanwhile, stay in your inventory (accessed via the left bumper and a twiddle of the right analogue stick) right until the end of the round, giving you a rather extensive cache of artillery to choose from, including numerous six-shooters, rifles, shotguns and projectiles like dynamite or throwing knives.




Finishing off with a bout of capture-the-flag, here called 'Hold Your Own' and featuring red and blue loot bags rather than flags, we get to blast a few riders off their horses with a huge cannon and even find time to line up a few headshots with a sniper rifle and then rush into the opposing team's base on horseback to grab the red flag and score a valuable point.

Actions like these grant XP, which persistently builds up throughout multiplayer, levelling your character up and enabling you to purchase new clothing and items to customise your badass bandito, sheriff or cowgirl. You're also able to acquire XP while free-roaming by executing special actions like killing a grizzly bear with a knife or shooting the hat off a wanted villain, for instance

Red Dead Redemption's single-player is shaping up to be unquestionably superb, but it's also heartening to see that a great deal of care and attention has gone into the multiplayer too. Rockstar has apparently learnt some valuable lessons from GTA IV's multiplayer, making the experience more focused, compartmentalised and therefore better suited to the 16-players that the game supports.

There's a clear, concerted effort that has been made in ensuring the multiplayer aspect of Red Dead Redemption is both meaningful and worth revisiting, and although there are still a few kinks to be ironed out, it's reason enough to make Redemption one of this year's most wanted games.

Red Dead Redemption is out May 18th and May 21st in North America and Europe respectively.

The lobby looks hilariously fun. Can't wait for this to come out - got it pre-purchased on Amazon.

hehe, Deadwood meets Grand Theft auto. WHo the hell cannot like that?

I never played the first game, but this one looks awesome. It looks like I'm gonna have to buy it.

The last few videos they have put out makes this look like a must buy.

I will be getting this for sure

Holy ****. The first one was a good idea. This looks like a masterpiece. I'll be buying this on release day.

360 or PS3?

imma pre order this next month. I just pre ordered Super Street Fighter IV. So when i get that one, i will pre order this.

This will be a title, IMO, that won't really matter what system you buy it on. Rockstar is pretty committed developer that won't take too many shortcuts on either system.

I thought Q2 2010 would be a quiet time for me, when I would be able to finish the Q1 games I purchased.

However...I have on pre-order:

ModNation Racers (Mario Kart like game for PS3)
Red Dead Redemption
Nier
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Street Fighter IV
3D Dot Game Heroes (Quite a bit like the Legend of Zelda for Super Nintendo)
Record of Agarest War (A Strategy RPG for 360...check out the mouse pad you get with it)
http://www.aksysgames.com/wp-content...60_limited.jpg
:eek:

PS3.

:(

When I have monies again I'm going to get a 360. Too many exclusive games that I can't play. I'll hit you up when I do. We'll start an April 26th posse. :)

I'm totally buying this day 1.

Good, good. The 360 contingent of CP is much cooler than our PS3 counterparts. :)

Its been pushed back to May 18th.

I can't decide what preorder bonus I should go for. WarHorse or the Deadly Assassin outfit... hmmm.

Looks like this game will have some free DLC co-op missions:

I had a Best Buy certificate about to expire in a week so I took the plunge and pre ordered this bad boy. I'm excited to play it. Of course the release day is a late night so I won't be enjoying it probably until the day after.

amazon has a 20 dollar gift card on a pre order of this game. i had to do it. THis game was 10 dollars off for me, next game will be 20. :)

I have $25 in rewardzone gift cert. so ill go to best buy to get it...

I love Amazon.

Red Dead Revolver is my favorite game of all time.

I will definitely be getting redemption.

Pre-ordered. Should be here on the 18th. Let's form a posse, you guys.

I'm in.

Want...

i really, really want to buy this.... Alan Wake takes priority though.

I might be in. This game looks pretty damn good.

I hope a review comes out soon, never played the ps2 one

There have been a couple reviews. All over 9.

:thumb: good to know, i planned to buy it, looks sweet

this game looks awesome, I won't be buying it for awhile though. It's this or backbreaker football for me and I'm going with backbreaker.

You need to get it, man. Keep the same team rolling over from game to game, lol.

Should I buy it 360 or PS3???

ps3 ftw

I am waiting on backbfeaker going to wait til I get some impressions. Red dead is an auto purchase. It's rockstar after all they have a great track record.

I am very iffy on Europeans making an American football game

I wasn't a big fan of GTA4's MP but would give this a shot.

the MP for GTA4 sucks IMO, I hated it.

But is the MP supposed to be good in this one?

Always been a fan of western games, i cant wait for this.

The last western games i played were Gunsmoke on the NES and Sunset Riders on SEGA Genesis

Sunset Riders was the shit.

Awesome.

just pre ordered my copy on Amazon

I pre-ordered through Amazon, too. It came with $5 in free mp3 downloads, and a $20 gift card.

If I get it from Amazon so I get the $20 gift card, I can get it release day for the 360 or 2 day shipping on the PS3. hmmm what to do....:doh!: My son would probably rather have it for the 360 where I would prefer the ps3. I guess since I am paying for it I may just get the ps3 and wait 2 extra days to play.

Go pick it up at your local Walmart on release day, keep your reciept and return the one shipped to you from amazon to the store.

I'm going to be muchly sadful if this is never ported to pc.

you know the PS3 is superior.:D

This game looks so cool. I am a western fan and love watching them. Hopefully you can customize his outfit to make him look like Clint Eastwood. Mainly just wear a poncho

I guess it is inspired by the Man with no name series of Eastwood films.

Just saw a commercial for this, game looks effin sick

Pre-ordered. PS3. :D

Smart man.

CAN'T FLIPPIN WAIT.

:D

Seeing more commercials on it, makes me antsy, game looks really cool

Apparently there is PS3 Exclusive content included with the game.

Wow, this game looks ****in cool
