Re: Red Dead Redemption

Posting videos from the iphone? I have never done it, but I think there is an option to upload it right to youtube, correct?

I plan on having a video or two of Red Dead Redemption uploaded by tonight. Some game play videos for you guys to look forward to.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I just pre-ordered from Best Buy. There is free shipping!

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully the 360 I bought from that guy on eBay will get here before this does.

2 for 2, FF!

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Well I ended up seeing a tiny smidgen of gameplay before I went back to bed last night on youtube. It's definitely GTA in the west which is slightly disappointing but I like the GTA games so this is still the game to get for moi

How did the gameplay look? As far as movement, shooting, people getting shot etc...?

Well it was a bit blurry as it was recorded from justintv but it looked pretty smooth and the movement was quite fluid and smooth. The transition from cutscene to you playing is a lot more seamless then I remember in past games. As for the shooting and people getting shot I didn't get a very good sense of that since the guy playing was pretty wild with his shots and such. It seems it's a bit tough at first to get a good handle on the shooting mechanics without some sort of lock on. (he turned that off)

Ironically, for as much reading as I've done on this game, I don't think I've seen it mentioned. You have to assume, though, given the size of the world and Rockstar's track-record, it's likely 30 hours minimum, and probably more like 40-50, but I'm just speculating.

Yeah, some of the people who've played an early build of it have said you can waste hours in the wilderness or roaming from town to town.

And considering one of the achievements is getting from one end of the map to the other alive in x amount of time, I'd say there's a lot to discover and interact with, even without doing one mission.

With GTA I'd get bored after 1 hour of going off the path. There really were only a few things you could do;
1. Cause havoc
2. Steal cars
3. Bang hookers.

But I got bored of getting a few cops after me and then watching them disappear. I'd return to the scene of my crime and everyone was walking around like nothing happened.

It doesn't sound like that's going to be the case in this game. Your infamy or fame will follow you around forever.

Well I think you can double the gameplay...

1st play-through..... Good Guy/Hero
2nd play-through..... Bad/Outlaw

Please don't play grammar police. As they say, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Thanks.

grammar has nothing to do with it. its a terribly confusing sentence. what glass house do i live in?

Except that what EG was meaning to say was that this IS GTA set in the old west... And essentially it is. Is it refined and improved? Of course. But a minute into that video, had I never heard of this game or who made it, I could have told you the developer in an instant.

And it's not a knock either, I'm freaking PSYCHED for this. But if someone is going into this hoping for something totally different from GTA... well prepare to be disappointed.

funny enough the last GTA I played extensively was GTA on PSone. I've pretty much only played sports games since then so I probably won't get that "GTA recyled" feeling.

Which again, gives me high hopes for the next GTA. Because you can't just blast a bunch of people in the face and the cops just forget about you five minutes later. Even if they can't find you, they should be on the look out for someone matching your description, unless you pay them off somehow.

Sounds like something similar is already in the works here.

Man, these next four days are gonna be long ones.

IMO, this system works perfectly for the western genre because it's not heavily populated and you're dealing with vasts areas of empty space.
That's another reason why I think this game will rock.
