Quantcast



Red Dead Redemption will be out in two months, and I still feel like we don't know much about it -- aside from what Rockstar has been drip-feeding us in these short trailers. The latest one is devoted entirely to the many women that you, as John Marston, will encounter throughout the game.

I find it rather surprising -- and refreshing -- that not only does Red Dead Redemption feature numerous women, but that almost all of them appear to be rather strong-willed characters. I suppose a lady had to have her wits about her if she were to survive on her own in the lawless Old West.

We'll find out just how tough the women of Red Dead Redemption are when the game launches for PS3 and 360 on April 27, 2010.

Pretty sure that first girl is voiced by Michelle from GTAIV.

Looking good. I have high hopes for this game.

Huh. You know I never realized this before, but Rockstar has actually has somewhat of a history of providing strong and independent female characters in their games.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Rockstar has peaked? I'm fairly excited about this game, but I was slightly disappointed by GTA IV. The technology was pretty impressive, but I feel like all their stories are the same. It's hard to feel bad for a character (like Niko) when something bad happens to him when he runs around all day taking advantage of people and being an all around jerk.

@Corduroy Turtle

Yeah, Rockstar kinda disappointed me with GTA IV as well. It felt like they were missing the point of what made the GTA games so great during the PS2 era; they went out of their way to try and make GTA IV decisively more realistic (and more focused on story) than the previous three games, but realism and story was never GTA's strong point. So we got a game that wasn't as over-the-top fun as San Andreas, but also not nearly as realistic or narratively compelling as, say, The Getaway.

I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with me though. After all, GTA IV did sell like hot cakes.

I'm pretty sure the US didn't have a 50 star flag at that point in time... Did it?

It's set in 1908, and there were 46 states then. I'm not sure exactly how many stars are on that flag though.

I started playing the original game yesterday (mainly because the new game looks fun) but so far (3 missions in) the game seems kind of one note. All I've done so far is a couple shooting missions that load into the next one. Does the game ever open up into an open world kinda like the sequel does?

Thats it. Its a one note game, a competently made one, but thats is what it is.

I liked it though, back then.

If i remember right Rockstar picked the game up from capcom when they ditched it half way. So the game is not really the one they wanted to make. This feels more like GUN.
