New trailer is up:

Life in the West.

Shows an expansive gameworld, different locations, desert, mountains, snowy forests, different jobs, camping sites, newspapers (to keep up with jobs and interesting things), goddamn this game is going to be amazing.

Looks like a wet dream for western fans. The bisons were cool. Doesn't the main character remind you of that bloke in LOTR? Eomer?

Gruff, weathered, I guess you're right. Then again, so are a lot of heroes and anti-heroes.

i just saw this on an online shop:

Limited Edition Contents:

THE RED DEAD REDEMPTION GAME

THE DEADLY ASSASSIN OUTFIT
John Marston's "Deadly Assassin" outfit causes your Dead Eye meter to regenerate at twice the speed.  With more Dead Eye, you have more time to place each shot with total accuracy, making you the deadliest gunslinger in any fight.

THE WAR HORSE
There are countless horses to be found in the massive world of Red Dead Redemption, but none is stronger, faster or tougher than the exclusive War Horse.  Whether storming gang hideouts, exploring the wilderness for hidden treasure, or outrunning the law, the War Horse gives gunslingers an advantage in nearly every situation.

THE GOLDEN GUNS WEAPON PACK
The player who wields the exclusive Golden Guns receives more Fame for each kill.  The more Fame you get, the more in-game side missions become available.  So there will be more opportunities to duel, more kidnapped townsfolk to rescue and you can bribe lawmen for less.

THE SOUNDTRACK
More details will be revealed about the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack very soon.


What is this bullshit?  i know it's not the first game doing this but is pisses me off when they sell in-game bonuses like those for a premium in some so called limited edition selling for £15 more than the regular box.  i can understand soundtrack CDs, "making of" dvds and artbooks or strategy guides etc in a limited edition as an incentive for collectors but selling things like those listed for this game is just annoying.  i suppose it's what everyone else will be "offered" as premium DLC.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu

Yeah, it's total bollocks if you ask me. Those items used to be available as unlockable rewards for gameplay. It's a shame to see R* go this way also. I don't remember GTA IV or any previous LE of their games having bullshit like this.

Just started the first one.  It's great.  Is R* San Diego doing this one?

This sounds great. Except the hunting part - smells too much of mmo grinding.

Where is Angry Monkey at?^

And where are all the juicy impressions at? Steel, you called it on this game like no one did. I thought you would be all over this game.

This is one of the highest rated games this year, I thought that more people here would have bought it by now. Unless you don't like westerns like me and Leo, there's not much excuse. It's GTA and people love sandbox. I want impressions now.

I'll be picking RDR up this weekend along with SMG2 but I'll be way too busy playing these games to post any kind of detailed impressions. I'll just get them out of the way now: They're freakin' AWESOME!!! Nyaa

I chose Episodes of Liberty City, I guess I chose wrong. Oops. I will get this eventually.

I'll pick it up later down the road. My backlog is insane as it is and my gaming time is already scarce for me to keep adding new games to that pile. My highlights in gaming this year will be ME2 (already bought and beaten), RDR and StarCraft 2. The last two of them will be eventually picked up, just not now. No game is worth of getting NOW at any cost. None.
