Red Dead Redemption Thread

First I've heard about this, but looks great! A GTA style game set in the Wild West would be fantastic :D
 
Looks awesome. Loved the physics in GTAIV and they look just as good and better here. The bit where he shoots the guy of the horse looks unbelievably good! Sad that i admire a bit like that, but it does really look amazing! :D
 
Limited edition of this is £42.85 at ShopTo.

It includes:

Red Dead Redemption Limited Edition

This all-inclusive Limited Edition for Red Dead Redemption features the full game, The Deadly Assassin Outfit, the Golden Gun Weapon pack, the War Horse and the originally scored soundtrack from the game.

THE RED DEAD REDEMPTION GAME

THE DEADLY ASSASSIN OUTFIT
John Marston's "Deadly Assassin" outfit causes your Dead Eye meter to regenerate at twice the speed. With more Dead Eye, you have more time to place each shot with total accuracy, making you the deadliest gunslinger in any fight.

THE WAR HORSE
There are countless horses to be found in the massive world of Red Dead Redemption, but none is stronger, faster or tougher than the exclusive War Horse. Whether storming gang hideouts, exploring the wilderness for hidden treasure, or outrunning the law, the War Horse gives gunslingers an advantage in nearly every situation.

THE GOLDEN GUNS WEAPON PACK
The player who wields the exclusive Golden Guns receives more Fame for each kill. The more Fame you get, the more in-game side missions become available. So there will be more opportunities to duel, more kidnapped townsfolk to rescue and you can bribe lawmen for less.

THE SOUNDTRACK
More details will be revealed about the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack very soon.

Very tempting, especially as ShopTo don't charge you until it is dispatched, and tend to be very reliable with pre-orders! Still mulling it over...
 
Any pre-order deals yet? Probably too early. Discount code on TheHut brings the normal version down to £32.93.

Placed my order on there for now. Discount code expires in 2 days, so may as well use it and wait and see if there are any better ones that come along.
 
Can't wait for this. I'm just worried that it might not meet my high expectations of it.
 
Anybody else bracing themselves for slowdowns/frame rate issues a la GTA4?

I highly suspect it will be brushed under the carpet come review time much like they did with GTA4.

Having said that though, I'm hoping Rock* have had time to tweak the engine and get it ever so slightly better this time round, but I'm not going to convince myself that it will be issue free and then be gutted that there are indeed performance issues.
 
I wonder if it is worth getting the limited edition over the standard edition. If I can get those items through playing the game I think I'd do that. Doubt you can though!
 
That's what I want to know as well. I've looked around the internet but can find no mention if those extras are also unlockable throughout the game.

The only possible one is the golden guns, as I imagine the War Horse can be obtained as can the dead eye outfit. But who knows.

It would be nice to know though before I get the game. Wiki mentions that the outfit can be unlocked later in the game and also menions the war horse is ultra rare, sounds hopeful that these can be obtained through normal play.

Probably will have the same "issues" as GTAIV had engine wise. The frame rate is a bit choppy in some of the videos.

Tbh the frame rate never bothered me in GTAIV on the 360, never dropped to an unplayable level.
