THE ESSENCE OF RED DEAD REDEMPTION
Trailer footage set to Ennio Morricone's "Ecstasy of Gold", by alehousedave.​

Damn . . . nice video you made there.

 

[cjtiger300]

Awesome OP Goldrusher!!!!!!! I have been watching Deadwood again in anticipation of this game! I have also watched The Outlaw Josie Wales and I plan to watch some more classic westerns!!!

One more week guys, one more week!!!!!!!1

 

[bathala]

finally an OT.


damn these pre-order bonuses.

 

[Teknoman]

Has it been confirmed that music will be in MP? If not, has it been confirmed whether or not PS3 will support XMB music player?


If theres no music in MP, then i'm throwing together a playlist from various spaghetti westerns and Wild Arms.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Have they mentioned anything on stealth in this game? I know there are specific animations for pistol melee kills, but I'd like to be able to off some people with the knife if I'm trying to be sneaky. Would help out with home invasion as well.

enough proof?

 

[Ramirez]

I am so pumped for this game!

 

[NaughtyPrawn]

I am so pumped for this game!

Same here. I've held off on recent videos and stuff too! Great thread

 

[Simo]

Awesome OP!

I made a couple of more avatars like the old ones I made for the other thread, feel free to tweak them but I'm pretty sure they're to board specs..

 

[evil ways]

That essence of rdr video should be posted with a NSFW warning. Goddamn I've never shouted so many profanities per second in a 3 minute span in my life.

Please 18th, get here fast.

 

[Goldrusher]

I found this on another forum, figured I'd show you fine people.

Map Scale:

Very nice.

You should add the in-game map(the pic you made combining the two known areas was awesome) to the OP!

I'll add the map as soon as the final area is unveiled.

 

[kuYuri]

Great OP. Had this preordered for awhile now. Can't wait.

 

[Naked Snake]

I almost didn't know anything about this game until I checked this thread. I've been hearing its name frequently mentioned and that people are eagerly anticipating it, but I had quickly written it off as "NOT INTERESTING" upon seeing a few screenshots a while back... For some reason I assumed it was a linear action game of some sort, and the western setting didn't appeal to me.

But upon learning it's an open world game, and made by Rockstar, I understand where all the hype is coming from. Looks and sounds very impressive, some of the open desert areas give me a Shadow of the Colossus vibe, except the scales here looks much bigger, more varied and detailed.

Too bad I won't be playing it anymore soon, if ever.

Mind if I take this one?

 

[Simo]

Help yourself!

Looks like the map portion for West Elizabeth got leaked..

 

[DrBo42]

Sexy. Thanks for the new avatar . Wow at the map size. How does this one compare to SA and LC?

Edit: Ah it's in the OP. My bad.

 

[evil ways]

<----- I'm not even gonna ask for it, I'm gonna pillage it.

<----- I'm not even gonna ask for it, I'm gonna pillage it.

Ah that's the way my lad, that's the way.

anyone mind if i snag this one?

thanks!

 

[DrBo42]

Does anyone know if you can change costumes in the SP at any time?

 

[JoeBoy101]

Help yourself!

All of the coloured areas are explorable????

 

[jergrah]

Does anyone know if you can change costumes in the SP at any time?

You just have to take your horse over to Perseus in Algonquin

On a serious note, I dont remember reading anything official on how it will work. Im guessing it will somehow be tied to if you are in a save area/safe-house/etc....but it would be nice if it was just a pause - menu option.

 

[sneakypete]

I think I read that it was like in SA where you have a wardrobe in your safe house, but I could be mistaken.


Found this article, didn't see it posted here or in the other thread:

Getting the horses to the level of realism we needed required a combination of research, heavily detailed motion capture, Rockstar’s own RAGE engine, Natural Motion’s Euphoria technology, and some highly advanced facial animation technology that we had previously only used on human characters. We think the horses of Red Dead Redemption are the most realistic, believable, and beautiful horses ever seen in a video game, as well as being a lot of fun to ride.

I took this one, thank you!

A one month delay? is this just for Amazon? I'm also disappointed that there is no hardcover edition of the guide book.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I am really looking forward to this game! both single and multiplayer sound like a blast!

Day 1 and Great OP!

 

[TTG]

Finally, an official thread. Most anticipated title of the year for me, can't wait.

 

[W1SSY]

The next two weeks for me will be crazy with 3d Dot and then this. Hopefully I can get through 3d before I get this one if not I will just be adding to my backlog of games I need to play this summer.

This is really shaping up to be the Western Game that dreams are made of.

 

[BobTheFork]

Ok, I'm heading to the general store for some hardtack and Pemmican, does anyone need some gingham or pomade?

edit: damn those cards are the best preorder I've seen. They really need to be marked.

 

[Tom Penny]

So this isn't a structured game it's totally open world unlike GTA were unless you do something..the NPC's don't mess with you or attack etc?

That would take so much out of the experience god damn

OP made me even more hyped for this game. I can't wait, Day 1.

 

[TheVisualizer]

"BEARS AND OTHER SIDE MISSIONS"

brilliant :lol

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Oh I'm so excited, just as I was when GTA:IV came out.

I played it for many hours, way through the night, the next day, I played online with a couple of friends. Robbing people and getting away all in the same van. Those days were great. I cannot wait to relive them in the Wild West. Come on, 21th!

 

[DietRob]

I don't think I'm going to start any story missions unless required for the first day or two. I just want to use that time to watch the day/night cycles, hunt, lasso various shit, and camp under the stars.

hype, hype, hype.

New Trailer Coming This Week

This was posted on Rockstar's Twitter:

"Yep - keep your eyes peeled for a brand new Red Dead Redemption trailer later this week RT @Definity_DJJ Do we get any new videos this week?"

I got the same e-mail last week, and I to thing there is a missed opportunity by not having a hard cover!
And about the delay I did not know why maybe because they finished the game so late that brady needed more time?

 

[red shoe paul]

Buy RDR or I'll shoot you.

Alan Wake is short I've heard from friends, and judging by it, nearly nowhere as fun than Red Dead!

 

[Frillen]

Alan Wake is short I've heard from friends, and judging by it, nearly nowhere as fun than Red Dead!

I've also heard Alan Wake gives you incurable cancer that can only be cured by playing Red Dead Redemption.

Not really, think of it as a companion guide. In Fallout 3 for example, I used the guide as a reference after finding a town or location. I would find out if I had missed any quests or items in that location.

It would ruin the experience if you use the guide to quickly go through the main plot sections, but I usually skip those and go for the side quests, where a guide like this is a lifesaver. Guides are perfect for reference in open ended worlds, and useless for linear ones (Mass Effect 2 was so linear I barely touched the guide at all, unlike part 1).
