Gamers eager to get their hands on Red Dead Redemption have been throwing questions Rockstar's way. What does this mean for us? Answers! Answers to questions not submitted by psychopaths, because I hear the studio has a rigorous screening process -- hence why they won't return my emails.
The questions this week were almost exclusively related to multiplayer. Many were just about game mechanics and the like, which is perfectly fine, but I was more interested in the following: "will we be able to swim?," and "can your horse jump?"
"John has no problem wading," says Rockstar, "but if he gets too deep, he will drown." Huh. As for the second question, your horse can in fact jump and it will even "vault over low objects and avoid other obstacles" automatically.
No joke, the first thing I'm going to do when I get Red Dead Redemption is have my horse leap directly into deep water. Either the horse will A) float, B) drown, or C) glitch out and send us skyrocketing into the air. I sincerely hope it's that last one.
[Thanks, Martin]

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

but i would love to caulk my horse and ford the river.
This is the first as-of-now console exclusive I have desperately wanted since... since... I don't know, years ago.
I'm sure, though, that if they took it out then it won't come up often enough to be a big deal (how many bodies of water will there be, anyway?), but their reasoning sounds ridiculous. I would imagine a character like Marston who has lived in the wild would know how to swim.
True special edition? Sadly no.
