The Red Dead Redemption trailer that was promised for tomorrow is here right now! The trailer shows off the various environments and some nice action scenes. The game doesn't look too shabby so far.

From everything we've been hearing, Red Dead Redemption is basically going to be Grand Theft Auto IV in the Wild West. It's too early to say if that's a good or bad thing. Oddly, I'm really fascinated with the horses here. I really hope you'll be able to plant TNT on horses and make them run towards enemies. 

Take a look at the trailer after the jump. How's it looking to you? 

[Thanks, AJ!]

wish it had the style of Red Dead Revolver... still going to be potentially amazing. hopefully as a sandbox there's stuff to do besides story. that's one gripe i have with GTA4

The Wild West is perfect for sandbox gameplay.

Looks pretty good, GUN was one of my favourite PSP games so I'll have to keep an eye on this.

Also Buga is Mr Hands revived, CONFIRMED!

the gun play in RDR was so awesome. the slow mo + the aiming. and the fast draw special. i have a feeling it might be a little slow, but when its time for gun play its gonna be sooo brutal. wood splintering here, bullets whizzing there, hats flying everywhere!

any word on the composer? hopefully it's the same legend that worked on Red Dead Revolver. Ennio, who did the soundtracks for the Clint Eastwood westerns along with some other spaghetti westerns.. mmmmm

Are you freaking kidding me?!?! That looks like every 8 year old boy's wet dream and you get to play it! AND it's fucking Rockstar. Looks solid.

No way would they let you strap TNT to a horse. Remember, killing people is fine, but killing animals is wrong.

Definitely seems to have more of a Tombstone or Once Upon a Time in the West vibe than it does the "Man With No Name" Trilogy, but hopefully they still focus on the spaghetti vibe!

I thought its overall design and allusions to Leone's presentation were what made Red Dead Revolver the absolute best western game in its genre by far, so hopefully that theme is expanded upon throughout the fabric of the game despite the American-made western vibe presented here.

This looks so much better than the trailer I saw for Call of Juarez the other day, which featured killing dozens of Union soliders (no thanks), looked like Call of Duty 2: The Old West, and worst of all had a hip-hop beat for a soundtrack.

I had some anticipation for CoJ, but that trailer burned it down.

OTOFH, this trailer, and the supporting screens, look amazing. Much more what I was hoping to see in a cowboy game.

I would much rather play a GTA4-derivitive western than a CoD-derived western.

If they incorporate some moral choices into this. I'd be VERY interested. moreso then I already am.

regardless, this game looks fantastic. It was one of my favourite Xbox titles, and I'm glad to see it get a sequel.

here;s hoping for more multiple storylines. I loved me some Apache action.

I think graphically this game looks superb. I will give this a rent for sure because I love the western setting.

I'm absolutely blown away. Red Dead Revolver is one of my favorite games ever, and this looks just as awesome.
I just hope this one lets me shoot midget clowns, too.

maybe possible upgrading of the ole homestead?
hunting for food?
upgrading weapons with the money you get from train robbing ,where you have to make your way to the front of the train.
or do normal jobs like delivering mail or a chuck wagon to natives etc.

morel choices indeed! im calling a "girl tied to the tracks" mission!
which brings wives to mind. also plenty of card games and whores in raunchy bars!

I could use a sick western. Let's hope this is what GUN was supposed to be.

Hmm, seems like it is focusing on just one person. I really enjoyed playing many different roles in the first one... I hope they keep that up.

Looks amazing, but then again Rockstar always delivers in spades when it comes to production values. Can't wait to find out more information on this.

Didn't this have pretty good writing for a trailer, too?

I couldn't have the volume up, but please let that trailer be full of Morricone!

I honestly disliked GTA 4 right from when you met the Pegorinos and those other Italian stereotypes. I'll keep a cautious eye on this one, though.
