Re: Red Dead Redemption

Just came back from a Gamestop in Taylor, MI.
Guy said that they have dozens of games on reserve.

I think this game is going to be huge. I wonder if 5M copies is possible?

No chance. Modern Warfare 2 sold 4.7 million copies day 1. This won't even come close.

Yeah, this game doesn't have near the brand power that Modern Warfare or GTA have. It will definitely be successful sales wise but don't expect mega-blockbuster type numbers.

I didn't mean in the first day, but overall.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

I didn't think there were going to be any vehicles, except for the trains.

There are automobiles in the capitol city where the "Agency" is. Its says it in the GI mag.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Everything I've read, I'm sold on it. Definitely a release day purchase for me.

Interesting, I only looked at the pictures :/ but after going back to read it, you are correct. I'd like to see what vehicles there are, surely its very very limited. I don't think I'll use them too often anyway, I think most of my time will be spent roaming away from that area...the cobblestone streets will only hurt my horse's feet!

I believe this is one of the vehicles:

Around the 3:04 mark theres a shot of an automobile taking fire.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Yeah pretty much, I've seen quite a few westerns but mostly just ones made from 1985-present. I haven't dipped below the 1980's yet.

Well, that particular piece of music is from an extremely memorable scene towards the climax of The Good The Bad And The Ugly, which many people believe to be the greatest Western film of all time.

I highly suggest you look into the Man With No Name trilogy (A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good The Bad And The Ugly) as well as a few other classic Western films (Once Upon A Time In The West, High Noon and The Wild Bunch) to really get a feel for the genre. The Western films made today may have their good qualities, but they lack the feel of a "true" Western like the classics do.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

Just came across this.

A couple of leaked scores, other than that, doesn't look like anything new.

Re: Red Dead Redemption

9.75/10 from Game Informer. They also gave Super Mario Galaxy 2 a 9.25 (they gave SMG1 a 9.75, and that's considered to be one of the best games of the decade). Means RDD is going to be great..
