Re: Red Dead Redemption

I've been trying to find Red Dead Revolver lately, to get myself even more amped for this, but I can't find that game anywhere. Makes me sad. Easily one of my favorite PS2 era titles.

I saw it at walmart brand new a month ago for $15.

I'm with you man, I don't know anything about it, and then I see this thread has almost 900 posts so I had to stop in to see what all the buzz was about.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I'm placing the over/under on a day. I'll be killing every living thing I see for the first few hours I have the game.

"I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another."

From some of the very early previews it promises to be more than just GTA in a wild west setting.

It sounds like R* is trying to create a living organic world.
In GTA you can slaughter 18 people by the car dealership and if you escape the police you can return in 10 minutes and everything's back to normal. Nobody looks at you weird and everyone has returned to shop or walk the streets.

But in RDR, it sounds like most of your decisions have a butterfly affect. Murder the local blacksmith and he's gone for good. And his offspring might hunt you down later on.

Wipe out an entire town and return a few hours later it'll be a ghost town with buzzards flying overhead.
Sure, the town might rebuild, but it's a slow process. It doesn't just 'reset' and everything's back to normal.
Just like if you killed the majority of people in town, if you return the locals will fear you or might even form a posse to take you out.

It's almost as if you can weave or create your own story.
I haven't read how deep this can go but from one of the latest reviews discussing animals and the food chain, the developers led readers to believe that all the NPC's have real lives, and your decisions can affect those lives greatly changing the landscape of the story and lives you interact with.
