SUMMARY:

Red Dead Redemption is a third person action-adventure game set in the very early 20th century, the gameplay mechanics are based off of GTA IV; a sandbox enviroment with hundreds of characters, side-missions and collectables. The RAGE and Euphoria game/animation engine return, although by the looks of it; significantly updated, so expect the same kind of procedural animations we got from GTA IV plus some nice eye-candy.

It will be released on the 18th/21st May on the Xbox 360 and PS3. A PC release might come a few months after the console release like GTA IV, but it might not.

Summary from the offical website:

America, early 1900's. The era of the cowboy is coming to an end.

When federal agents threaten his family, former outlaw John Marston is sent across the American frontier to help bring the rule of law. Experience intense gun battles, dramatic train robberies, bounty hunting and duels during a time of violent change.

Red Dead Redemption is an epic battle for survival in a beautiful open world as John Marston struggles to bury his blood-stained past, one man at a time.


INFOMATION:

The game features three main regions to explore; New Austin, West Elizabeth and Nuevo Paraiso, all regions will have towns, outposts, side-missions and extra goodies to find. It seems far more open than GTA IV.

Some more infomation from wikipedia:

Red Dead Redemption is a third person action adventure in a Wild West setting. In order to traverse the varied terrain, many different modes of transportation are included in the game. On foot, the player character can walk, run, jump, swim and climb over obstacles. The player will use other means of transport, such as, the more common riding on horses will be one of the core gameplay elements.

The horses created with the Euphoria animation engine will show the realistic muscles and movements of the animals. To fast travel to locations the player can use a stagecoach or train. There are three main regions to traverse; two in the western United States, called New Austin and West Elizabeth, and one on the Mexican border, called Nuevo Paraiso.

I lol'd at the demo where the guy playing found a bandit with a girl tied up and he kills the bandit then kidnaps the girl. *Begin inacting dark sick fantasies NOW!*
