Rockstar have released another video of Red Dead Redemption’s gameplay called ‘Weapons and Death’. To my surprise this trailer didn’t include a single fluffy bunny or children skipping hand-in-hand whilst humming nursery rhymes.

I don’t know about anyone else but I am seriously impressed with this and the previous gameplay trailer. The graphics are looking great and the horseback gun fights are a nice touch. If you’ve played Call of Juarez then you’ll also recognise the slow-mo targeting of multiple enemies before time restores and your revolver unleashes multiple rounds in quick succession.

  1. So much for my emailed tip and forum post in the middle of the night :(

    p.s it does look ace though ;)


    • Sorry, we got this yesterday afternoon mate.


      • LOL, suppose i’ll have to be quicker off the mark then..no probs…as i said up top looking ace, and cant wait to get me grubby mits on the bugger!


  2. This is in my top five for this year for sure. The RAGE engine looks totally beefed up, shame it’s not getting as much hype as some other, less deserving games. Rockstar seem to be on a roll. Looking forward to more about Agent and LA Noir too.

    Damn I need a second income.


    • Definitely looking forward to this and Agent, but all that stuff about Rockstar wives makes me worry about LA Noire’s quality..  


    • Just pre-ordered from Shop-To-Net.
      Luckily I got £150 credit for winning their NFS: Shift tournament so I don’t need a second income…..yet.
      But with all the good games coming out this year it won’t last for long.


  3. it looks awesome! i only wonder how much there is do in this game :/ (that doesn’t get repetative) i’ll probebly buy it anyways…


    • You can go bounty hunter (dead or alive) hunt animals (sell their skins) protect innocent ladies (maybe rumpy pumpy) as well as the main quest..think the freedom of San Andreas but in a wild west format, and your halfway there :D


      • All of them are go there kill that, come back kills this and repeat ad-infinitum. It’s my opinion this style of gameplay peaked in ‘02 with Vice City and was made more boring in San Andreas and even more boring in IV.

        Still no one creates hype like R* and I’ll probably buy them both (this and GTA:EfLC), although I almost certainly will be looking out for heavy supermarket discounting on release day, or for £20 deals online after a month or so.


      • Are you tellin me you never played cowboys and indians CC?? and something like this doesnt bring out the inner kid in you? fo shame…(i suggest you catch up on some sergio leone flicks to get you in the spirit mate ;) )


      • Hell yeah,

        But looking passed its obvious gorgeousness, its core mechanic will be endless going to and from various map markers ad-infinitum.


      • Well thats sandbox for ya ;)

        You never know, they may incorporate some fresh new dynamics…

        p.s Once upon a time in the west FTW!


  4. Two words …… WOW

    ;-)


  5. The game engine looks phenomenal, with the principle gameplay being identical to the GTA series, releasing this in a similar time period as Episodes From Liberty City may mean PS3 owners can buy only one of them, meaning a lower attach rate for either game on the PS3 and further cementing the fact that the X360 is a great place to launch first.


  6. looks very tempting for me – see how the ps3 version comes out and it may have to go on my birthday list. Now just need to move my birthday from may to march


  7. Looks so good. I can’t wait for this. I have vouchers gagging to be used for this.


  8. I want this game. It looks sooooo good..Every time i see another vid about this game i want it more and more. This will be in my list of top games for 2010..


  9. Definite purchase for me!
    Don’t like those slow-mo perks in games though cos I always forget I’ve got that ability ’til I’ve finally managed to defeat who or whatever it is I’m fighting… Typical


  10. Great video. Wow, they’ve put some effort into this title. I’m kinda with cc on this one. It may well play like a cowboy version of GTA but it really does look tempting and possibly a difference in pace as well as aesthetic beauty.


    • yeah, it looks bloody awesome – there’s no way I’ll be able to avoid it, I’m talking bullcrap. Its just that I get a bit sick of bouncing around from one map marker to another all the time


  11. Repetitiveness might not bother me too much if the scenery looks as good throughout as it does in the trailer, I could quite happily ride around all night on a shetland pony whilst drinking beer wearing a Stetson which I’ll have to purchase on release day.
    Hmmm, that brings some other thoughts to mind, alcohol, pub, girl/barmaid, my place, naked girl/barmaid wearing only Stetson, cowgirl boots optional… I can wish but it is a Friday after all so there is a possibility.


    • Agree, except boots are never optional


      • Thats a good point but there’s a size issue… Like the Stetson, the boots would have to be bought in advance and my size 11 badboys may look a bit off putting in a chick


      • Oh Shi*t – I meant ‘ON A CHICK’!!!


      • I sometimes edit mistakes, and delete their follow up corrective comments, but I’m leaving that one… you are one sick dude


      • I don’t blame ya! :)
        I’m now gonna refrain from my follow up comment which involved cowgirls, shoehorning and Yee Haaa!


  12. this & GTA good stuff can not wait.


  13. likely to get some funny lookin deaths off these guys.


  14. Wow. Amazing.
    I like how enemies will now crawl away if you shoot them in the leg, rather than walk away holding their stomach.


    • yeah i never really understood that in GTA4


  15. the only western i’ve been interested in since GUN
    looks great. as one of the few people who really loved GTA4 i can’t wait for this
