IGN - Red Dead Redemption: Exploring the Wild West

Find buried treasure, hunt down cannibals, cheat at poker and sock a mountain lion in the kisser. Now that's how the West was really won.

Even a hundred years ago, the West was a wild land, yet to be fully tamed by man. Coyotes ventured into towns at night to steal chickens from their coops, bandits roamed the vast expanse, robbing homesteaders and other hopeful newcomers to the West, while Marshalls did their best to bring order to an area that had existed in chaos for decades. This is the world of Red Dead Redemption. And as fans of Rockstar's GTA series have come to expect, the world is wide open and ripe for exploration.

It doesn't matter if you've decided to be a cold-blooded outlaw or a champion of the people, there is plenty to see and do in the sprawling world of Red Dead Redemption.

This game is gonna be a beast. Just watched the launch trailers. Unbelievable detailed characters/environments. This game truly looks alive. Can't wait.

[skeletonss]

[SpitFireAce85]

"This game really needs proper hunting tools--like bazookas."

[skeletonss]

or chainsaws=.

[ActionBastard]

Can't wait for this! Gonna replay Red Dead Revolver just to get my Western fix.

"Even in towns, people aren't safe. I heard a woman arguing with a man. It seemed pretty heated. Sure enough, on the porch of a bordello, a surly customer and a whore were screaming at one another. As I tried to remember how to switch to my fists so I could show this jerk some manners, he pulled out a knife and stabbed the woman repeatedly in the stomach. In fact, he followed her to the ground and kept stabbing."

F*cking Gah Damn Brutal. That's what's up

[Absolut_Turkey]

I think we're all in agreement here. Red Dead Redemption is going to be epic. I do believe that regardless of what console is owned, most of us on N4G will be busy exploring the Wild West come May 18th.

[Absolut_Turkey]

@Kratos Spartan Yeah, I read that part too. I thought to myself, "Damn! That's pretty brutal." RDR is going to be EPIC. Pre-ordered and waiting.

[I_Luv_2_Game]

I can wait to play this game.. It sounds awesome..

[AliTheBrit19]

This Game = God

[FragMnTagM]

Hurry up June 18th!

[raWfodog]

Why are you waiting until June 18th?

[Vostronius]

Why is this in the PC section if it is only coming out for XBox360 and PS3?

[RedPawn]

I want to shoot a bear in the ass something fierce.

[sam2236]

So do I, bro, so do I...

Either IGN is stealing from Kotaku or both sites were paid by Rockstar to make RDR look good.

Seriously, check out Kotaku's preview:

http://kotaku.com/5537430/t...

IGN's preview is, word for word, the exact same.

EDIT: Okay, Kotaku must've edited their article, but I read it yesterday and I swear to Christ, it was the exact same as IGN's article.

Still, that doesn't stop me from buying the game.
