ehh looks ugly
Blaze929  +   1595d ago
eh
....yeeeeeaaaaaa....looks well, lame.
Mindboggle  +   1595d ago
Uh no ! Before bashing it how about play the first game, and you realise it wasnt so lame, and infact was one of rockstars best games imo.
Blaze929  +   1595d ago
well I played Revolver...which was also lame

It needs co-op right??? Thats what all reviews say about K2. No co-op = fail
Rock Bottom  +   1595d ago
@Blaze929: I played the first game too, which was lame, but I think this one actually looks nice.
JsonHenry  +   1595d ago
The game looks good to me! There really are not enough Westerns anymore. I want another Call of Juarez and GUN game too.
ThanatosDMC  +   1595d ago
What is the story/background of Red Dead? Is it Shane from that book/movie that we read/watched in middle school or high school???
sinncross  +   1595d ago
So I guess that is one less Rockstar title to presume could be the PS3 exclusive title.
I've got this feeling LA Noire will be multi platform as well, meaning the PS3 exclusive must be something we don't know of.

Regardless, this title is definitely not a looker, looks like a high resolution version of Red Dead Revolver, but that could easily change, and hopefully will.
I wonder how it plays though... similar or something new.
Sasanova  +   1595d ago
LA noire is already announced as multiplat. the exclusive for the ps3 is a brand new LP, so theres no way its a follow up to any other previous title.
Disccordia  +   1595d ago
LA Noir has NOT been announced for 360, it's just strongly rumoured at this point. It's also not part of this so-called Rockstar PS3 deal (if it even exists) because it's made by Team Bondi and Rockstar are only the publishers.

Putting up fake news
This dosent confirm Sh!t, It will be PS3 only if it comes out. There isent even any news at all of it at IGN. Take alook at this,

Don't worry they aren't anything special to look at:S
JasonPC360PS3Wii  +   1595d ago
I thought this game was supposed to be a PS3 exclusive? :)
DJ  +   1595d ago
No, it was never announced as one.
A concept video was shown at Sony's E3 2005 conference, but that was about it. We haven't heard anything about it since then.
Tacticity  +   1595d ago
It is a PS3 exclusive
Its just f!cking idiots putting up fake news, the news isent even on IGN.
Rich1631  +   1595d ago
YES!!!!!! I love westerns and we never see much of these in both movies and games. I am so looking forward to this, especially being developed by Rockstar!
Hellsvacancy  +   1595d ago
Thank you they worked fine - bubbles

I wont give my opinion i dont wanna seem ungrateful lol
Don_Frappucino  +   1595d ago
@tacticity
IGN are slow at getting news on their you fool. I've seen stories on IGN a week after i saw it on another site. And why would it be PS3 only?
Hellsvacancy  +   1595d ago
It looks like is runnin on the 360
RainOfTerror  +   1595d ago
I don't think it looks "that" bad at all.

It's an open-world game, like GTA IV, you can't expect Gears of War 2 or Killzone 2 type graphics.
The Dark Knight  +   1595d ago
Looks good to me
I dont know why people are complaining about the graphics? this isnt killzone 2. They didnt say this game was going to have groundbreaking graphics.

Plus rockstar never really go for he "graphics" thing.
Hallucinate  +   1595d ago
they tried to with GTA4 but they failed
ChefDejon  +   1595d ago
rockstar
please make a Warriors remake....but yea this is good news
Foxgod  +   1595d ago
The Warriors owned, maybe they could hire the original cast to write a videogame sequel to the movie.

Kinda like Ghostbusters.
iHEARTboobs  +   1595d ago
The Warriors
I can picture rockstar doing a good Warriors game. I'm all for it.
PSWii60 Fanboy  +   1595d ago
YES!
Finally a spiritual successor to GUN. I've been waiting for another open world Western game since the Gamecube days. GUN was great, in my opinion, and I've never played Red Dead Revolver, but hopefully this will be great. I know it looks great.
Rich1631  +   1595d ago
Yeah, seriously were the hell is Gun II? That game had such an epic story, and phenomenal voice acting, not to mention it was a ton of fun to play.
Twister  +   1595d ago
Gun was frikking awesome! .. :)
L-a-i-n  +   1595d ago
It could be a great game. Lets see what Rockstar can do to improve on the past game. Rockstar is a great dev so I am looking forward to seeing what they do.
Foxgod  +   1595d ago
Nice, gta styled western, i read that its being developed on the tech5 engine from ID, which is also used to develop Doom4 and Rage.

The horse model looks very good, all the muscles are correct.
And for people who think this looks ugly, it looks by no means less good then any other sandbox game out there.

This game features large stretched area with village's and other objects that fill the land.

Rich1631  +   1595d ago
No, it is running on the RAGE engine which stands for "Rockstar Advanced Game Engine". It is not the one built by ID Games, it is the GTA4 engine.
Foxgod  +   1595d ago
Oh Lol, my mistake, thanks for clarifying.
LONEWOLF231  +   1595d ago
It looks pretty good!
Hopefully it doesnt suck like Red Dead Revolver and Gun did!
kingme71  +   1595d ago
Cool. Good to see an open world not in the big city as they seem to be lately.
kittoo  +   1595d ago
Call of Juarez
Looked so much better than this one (at least on PC, never played on 360) and it was actually an awesome game with a few hitches.
InMyOpinion  +   1595d ago
Bloody awesome!!!

"Utilizing Rockstar's proprietary Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), Red Dead Redemption features an open-world environment for players to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teeming with wildlife, and perilous mountain passes - each packed with an endless flow of varied distractions."

This instantly became one of my top 5 most wanted games this year.
poeo  +   1595d ago
i have to agree, well maybe not top 5 but up there somewhere :)

i LOVE unique open world games. can't to explore the prairie. and it looks pretty to me, i dont know why people are complaining about the graphics.
DJ  +   1595d ago
Ehh, looks kinda nasty.
The horse in particular looks really bad, and the game needs some anistropic filtering.
OGharryjoysticks  +   1595d ago
I think Sony lied
I don't think Sony has an exclusive Rockstar game like they said when it was announced GTA would now be multiplatform.
Foxgod  +   1595d ago
Well, theres been numerous articles in the past of sony supposed to come up with great exclusives on event a or exhibit b.

And nothing was ever showed.
New game announcements for the sony platform occur here and there, but the rumors are usually 95 % false.

Since Rockstar makes all their games multi, why would they even consider making one exclusive, what would the point be if all the others are multi ?
Josh11  +   1595d ago
Enjoyed the first on PS2. Must admit, doesn't look great right now, but I'll keep and eye out. It's not going to be KZ2 guys, but I guess we do need to start uping the way we judge graphics because of it.

Remember its multi-platform, so thats 7gb tops. Just stating facts here, no fanboy comments!
Bathyj  +   1595d ago
Nice, I cant wait for a good western game.

I've been going through a western phase lately, I just watched 3 seasons of Deadwoon (brilliant show for those who've never seen it), some Clint Eastwoods, OK Coral as well as some modern classics like Tombstone. I've even been thinking about control schemes for real rapid fire, snap shooting, Like in Fist full of Dollars. Man Clint was quick.
Rhezin  +   1595d ago
Deadwood WAS a badass show
Wish they woulda renewed it, have George Hearst come back into Deadwood.

HELL YES THOUGH, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE SEQUEL FOR SOME TIME NOW. HELL YES.

AND WHOEVER MENTIONED THERE SHOULD BE A GUN SEQUEL INSTEAD OF THIS SHOULD BE SHOT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FACE.

Deadwood has got to be one of the best shows ever made. And it was just getting awesome. Cancelling that was the biggest travesty since Futurama and Firefly. The characters and actors were just so awesome Bullock and Sweargen in particular.
FragMnTagM  +   1595d ago
You guys must be looking at
different pictures than me, because those pics look pretty decent. They are some of the nicest horse models I have seen. If you can find better please post a link. These are also probably alpha build or earlier anyway, and if they look like this now, I cannot wait for fall 2009. Most western games are lame, but this being built on the RAGE engine and being a big open world makes it awesome.
gnothe1  +   1595d ago
this game was supposed to be PS3 exclusive!!

Sangria  +   1595d ago
Red Dead Revolver was not the perfect game, with many bugs and not very beautiful but it was really awesome and i can't explain why. Even if Red Dead Redemption is not the next Crysis, i'm pretty sure will hide its defaults with another awesome background and fun.

I waited that news since the first rumors of a RDR sequel.
Enigma_2099  +   1595d ago
Ahhh, the successor to Red Dead Revolver... I'm there.
... and it's Rockstar... you know they CAN make great games that don't include GTA in the title... remember the table tennis game? Remember Bully?!?!?
micro_invader  +   1595d ago
Nice, I don't know why everyone is calling this uglt, it looks pretty alright to me and who knows how far in development they are?
