Title: Red Dead Redemption
Post by: RichardWhitely on March 29, 2010, 12:28:16 AM
This is a new game from Rockstar focusing on the Wild West instead of modern day america, looking pretty good as these two gameplay trailers show:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gameplay-series-red-dead/59978

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/life-in-red-dead/63316?type=flv

Released 21st May 2010 for xbox 360 and PS3 - PC version 6 months later I suppose!

More info here if you haven't heard me wibbling on about it before: http://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption/

The reason its in this section is I cant find an appropriate game category to stick this post in O.o

I'm still stumbling around the SP, might give the MP a go in the next week.

I like the game, but it doesn't really 'involve' me the way I'd hoped.

The first pack is the Legends and Killers pack which has '9 new multiplayer map locations' and '8 new multiplayer characters', and a tomahawk projectile weapon. So that's what that'll have, around the beginning of August.

No release dates for the rest, but they've said what's in them. The second pack is the Liars and Cheats pack which has new modes - 'attack and defend' mode, multiplayer horse races, some more new characters, multiplayer Liars Dice and Poker  :twisted: and an explosive rifle.

Third pack is the Free Roam pack, which has 'new modes, challenges, and gang hideouts'.

And the fourth pack is the Undead Nightmare pack which has a new single player adventure, more animals, and zombies. I'm guessing that one might be out around late October...

i have this addon and i think its good a bit of a pain when you first start as you dont have enough ammo and need head shot's to kill the undead. if you do get it i will say this when you get to the first town get up high and kill zombies as they come at you fast and will kill you in know time. if you want anymore info let me know ;)
