A few new vids have come out in the last few days as well. I can't WAIT for RDR.
Someone Else
Red Dead Redemption delayed from April 27th to May 18 for NA, May 21 internationally. This article cites extra marketing time as the reason.

Rockstar additionally says from their website that the delay is to add extra polish. Frustrating, as this is my most anticipated game this year, but I suppose it's for the best. I'd rather wait 3 weeks than wade through endless patches to play a good game.

Kotaku said something along the lines of "They're waiting for the new quarter to start because it's going to be the new leading game amongst the sandbox market" sooo Rockstar just wants to build anticipation? FFFFFFFUUUUUU-
Someone Else
Well if it really is just to build anticipation, then... screw you Rockstar, you really don't have to do that. Everyone knows, and the more casual (hate that term) gamers who don't pay attention to such things will learn soon after the release anyway. :|

new dead red redemption gameplay series trailer out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afhcpsLIh_4

Jesus. I've only watched a minute of it because the place I'm staying at right now has slow connection but, this could be the best footage we've seen yet. All of that combat footage we've seen is nice, but I personally buy sandbox games to experience the world itself, and this looks like the best example I've seen of a living, breathing world.
ThankMeLater
is this gta meets wild west?
Someone Else
Doesn't quite do it justice but basically yes.
ThankMeLater
i can fuck with that.
Mallick
Unfortunately that's what they're calling it. The way its described doesn't do it justice though, this looks like the sandbox game of the century. :3
ThankMeLater
i dunno. gta4 wasn't anything special, but SA ftw. the only gta i've 100%'d.
Mallick
Who gives a fuck about GTA? We're talking aboot Red Dead. :\ Have you played the first of the series?
Someone Else
GTA IV was the most entertaining tech demo I've ever played.

In it's defense, GTA III was also the first GTA game in its engine and the games that came after it were much better. Expect to see GTA: Los Venturas or what have you with the same engine and much better gameplay than IV.

i was merely stating that i feel sa could easily hold that title. just merely playing out the gta connection because SA>* at this point in time.

and no, no i haven't. i must've mistaken it for another game, because ive seen it in EB a bunch of tames and never gave it a second though.
Mallick
It was called Red Dead Revolver and was a third person level-based shooter for the PS3 and Xbox.
ThankMeLater
Revolver came out about a year before the 360 was released, and 2 before the ps3 xD. there was like tech demos and shit of a RDR2 on the 7th gen consoles, but it essentially became redemption.

I should just rename this RDR news.

While I'm at it, new (ugly) RDR box art was revealed a day or two ago.

Well, okay, it's not ugly but the old placeholder box art was better imo.

Sorry, it's a knee-jerk reaction to add a 3 at the end of PS. It was released for the PS2 and Xbox.
ThankMeLater
well, i also read it as PS3 and XBox 360, so we both kinda failed there.
Mallick
Meh. If you've got a PS2 or a PS3 with backwards compatability it'd be worth trying out. I remember it being really fun up until the part I couldn't get past. But hey, I was like 11.

Fucking Rockstar can suck my dick.
Someone Else
why
Mallick
He spent $$$ on a shitty PC port of GTAIV. Also, Rockstar just generally enjoys flipping the bird to its customers IMO.
ThankMeLater
if it makes him feel any better, now that i have a RS account, i'll be downloading every pc game i ever get, so ill stick it to rockstar for him. SA came out on pc right?

Really. I guess I wouldn't know, I don't really pay attention to the things R* does outside of the games themselves and I've enjoyed the hell out of every one of their games I've bought. Yes, even GTA IV.

Clunky controls aside (seriously what the HELL were they thinking) GTA IV's a solid game, but then I'm easily impressed by good tech and atmosphere which GTA IV has a lot of.
TheEnglishman
Personally I thought GTA IV was brilliant, one of my favourite games in recent years. Then again it was the first game I played on 360.
Someone Else
New RDR gameplay series trailer, this is not an April Fools joke.

Eugine
Oh wow. This is the sequel to Red Dead Revolver? I played RDR for PS2, and it was alright. This looks sooo much better!
Legolastom
W-w-wait, I have been looking around and... I think this has multi player... this game is going to be amazing.
Someone Else
It does, I think it has all the GTA IV gametypes but with RDR twists. Like races will be with horses.

Besides freeroam mode, I'm most looking forward to Capture the Bag (of gold.) Match has two towns at either end of a stretch of desert, the object is to steal the opposing posse's gold and bring it back to your town. The catch... The battlefield between the towns is littered with old school lead ball cannons and turrets.

You can even dress your avatar up as a native american for multiplayer, so theoretically you could have a cowboy vs. indians thing going on.
Legolastom
Cant wait, I remember RPing for a couple of hours in GTA4's free roam mode with Tim, we were poor Zombie brothers... we RP'd it seriously and... it was surprisingly awesome.

You roleplayed GTA IV? That's... not sad at all!
Someone Else
Dipsy, Mallick, you guys are all buying this day one for the PS3 right? We need to get online at some point after this game releases.
ThankMeLater
i don't remember saying that lol. but it's released in may? ya, i'll have money for that. if it was released anywhere near march i would've had to say no.

Resonance Of Fate
Yakuza 3
GoW3
Soul Silver
Final Fantasy 13

... RDR would've been a bit too much lol.
Someone Else
End of the school year for me is May 27th I believe. Scary because I'm behind in two of my classes, but good because it's in time for moar RDR playing.

But seriously Dipsy, you and I need to play vidya games again sometime. LBP was fun.
Mallick
Yeah I'm getting it for PS3. I don't trust Fuckstar's PC releases.

It's a teaser pic, just a bunch of dudes in a line, but we could assume that there are some kind of titles or classes in RDR because of the names above the character's actual name.

MP vid of freeroam out now, do watch it.

Here's an article about RDR MP.

http://www.totalvideogames.com/Red-Dead-Re...view-15104.html

Tl;dr version:
  • Five gametypes as opposed to GTA IV's 15
  • Freeroam, Hold Your Own (CTF), Gold Rush (sort of like a free-for all CTF) Gang Shootout, and Shootout (death matches)
  • Freeroam has pretty much everything you can do in SP, minus story missions.
  • Dead-eye is available in some form for MP. Available in all modes but Freeroam. The article says it's bullet-time, but the only way that could work is if time is slowed for everyone as you watch one dude shoot everybody. That sounds REALLY annoying, the only way I can see it justified is if it can only be used so many times by everyone in one match.
  • My favorite thing about this article is that FINALLY, out of all of the previewers who have spent time with the game, this one finally describes the aiming system in RDR:
QUOTE
... reticule that becomes increasingly ‘sticky’ as it nears enemies but stops well short of steadfastly locking to a target as GTA IV does. It provides multiplayer gunplay that’s fast-paced and addictive but still manages to draw a decent amount of skill out of its user to acquire a high level of mastery.


YES. GTA IV's lock-on was terribad and no fun after a while.
Caael
Lock on ruined GTA IV multiplayer. Yeah the option to turn it off was there but nobody ever used it. Was especially crap in free roam when you're trying to do something cool and then "LOL I SHOOT U"

But <3 RDD SO much.
