I'm all in and ready for this game. I even went out and got Deadwood on DVD to put me in the 'Ol West state of mind. :D The only bummer is I'll be away from the PS3 between the 19th and 22nd, so will have to get as much in before taking off on the dirty business trip.
 
I am ready. Got same release day shipping from Amazon and I will be watching 3:10 to Yuma sometime this week. Probably Tombstone as well.
 
Im so tempted to buy this game. Looks so damn good fun. But there is so many other games i want to play first.
2010 have offer lot of interesting games. 2010 best game year ever?
 
I'm all over the place with this game, might be a rent then buy title.

Thanks for the links OP.

Think it'll even happen?

I'm not sure I'm willing to wait for this one.

Who am I kidding?

I remember I bought GTAIV when it first came out on the PS3, played the hell out of it, went on and played other things and then rebought it on the PC anyways and it was almost like it was new all over again since there was such a needlessly long gulf between ports there.
 
I'm a big fan of Red Dead Revolver, and other western-themed titles like GUN and the Call of Juarez games. Can't wait to play this.
 
Can't wait for this either. I would have probably bought it regardless of how the reviews turn out, but it is good to see the early ratings favorable.

This should ice it for everyone:

This is getting silly now. Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption has clocked up a 10/10 review in the UK's Official PlayStation Magazine.

That follows a 9.75/10 review in US mag Game Informer - and a very wholesome 9/10 in GameTM. Red Dead Redemption for Game Of The Year, anyone?

...


OPM says that decrying RDR as a re-skinned GTA 'misses the point' - because 'in terms of ambience and immersion it surpasses its forbear'.

'Once you're hooked, there's no going back,' OPM's review warns.

Wow. Not waiting for a PC port.
 
Only 5 days left! Can't wait for this game, have wanted a good open world western game forever, since the Outlaws days.
 
i think ill pick up red dead when i pick up my preorder of alan wake if they have some extra copies since i didnt pre order.

PS3-exclusive Red Dead Redemption content revealed

The first one was mediocre as hell, and somehow the second is an almost 10/10 game? I have a feeling this will be like every other hyped up game and people are going regret the purchase after.
 
Red Dead Revolver was basically made by Capcom.

There is very little in common between that game and Redemption.

If you like GTA and the old west, you can't go wrong here.

It's also 6 years after the first and the story is unrelated to the first (as far as I know).
Granted, I'm sure its not quite as good as the first reviews claim, I'm sure it's no slouch.

Capcom was developing the first one then R* bought it, they didn't fully develop it on their own like this one.
 
I'm going to piss in the punch too.

I drank the kool-aid on GTAIV and then hated it. I'm going to gamefly it, and see how it goes.
 
Well if you truly hated GTA4, then maybe RDR is not your game, but most of the impressions I've read from X360 pirates, and watching 15-20 minutes of actual live gameplay footage streams, makes me think the gameplay and graphics have improved since GTA 4.

I'm still in awe of the city they created in GTA 4. But compared to the older 3d GTAs, The missions in 4 felt too canned and linear, with no room for unique problem solving or as good of emergent gameplay as people expected. And the friends management was a disaster and annoying.

Redemption seems to knock these problems out of the park. The game is turning out to look better than I expected. :cool:

I had faith it would be at least a 9/10 game. But I think it very well could be a 10/10 in my book. Can't wait to play it.
 
Forget the first game. It doesn't even exist.


If you're a fan of GTA type games you'll love this. If you're not a fan of GTA type games there's nothing here for you.

I'm dubious of 10/10 scores in general. I think in 30 years I'd probably count on one hand how many games I'd really give a score like that to across all platforms.

I suspect in reality we're looking at a good, solid 8/10 game at least. In other words: It's going to be a damned good game. :)

Doh, I didn't know that there was PS3 exclusive content. I don't think a costume is worth changing my pre-order over though.
 
I'm pretty annoyed that I sold my tv. I replaced it with an ASUS LCD monitor that, even though I have 1:1 pixel mapping, makes 360 games look pretty ugly. I was hoping to bask in the goodness of the visuals in Red Dead Redemption but it looks like I might be out in the cold for the nice visuals part of it.

I hope you dont plan on watching more than season one otherwise you might get too bored and never want to hear about the wild west again.

I know what you mean... 720p blown up to 1080p on a 24in monitor makes 360 games look like mud... I may just drag out my old 19" CRT to use for my 360 just so the games actually look crisp.
