I'm considering it. I have GTA IV and I never finished it cuz it got frustrating and was too long imo. This seems like a cooler story though. Hope it has some good mission variety. I'm waiting for the reviews I think.

Yeah, a magazine editor lost his job, because he posted an email from R* where he was bribed to give praises in RDR's preview.

The email was allegedly sent by a publicist for Rockstar Games to staff at the magazine, concerning coverage of the company's new title Red Dead Redemption.
"This is the biggest game we've done since GTA IV, and is already receiving Game of the Year 2010 nominations from specialists all around the world," it read.

I think I am, and it will probably be the last 360 game that I buy. I would like to wait for a PC version, but after the travesty that is the port of GTA IV, I'd rather buy it for the console.

here to kill your monster
not that i've got a current gen console but i thought RDRevolver wasn't all that and 'gun' was better.
Is this game expected to be really good then?

also since it was raised, i take it to call yourself GOTY or realease a GOTY edition you just have to win in any of the 2-dozen odd publications/review sites that run the award?
Who awards the most respected/coverted GOTYs - gamespot/ign for example?

I thought Rockstar games always came out for PC.
I'm just assuming history will repeat itself.
Hope so anyhow.

Already have the 360 version pre-ordered, and from the UK too so I get the full R18+ version. I am taking a punt and guessing it has a fair chance of being refused classification in Australia unless R* modifies the version they ship down here ala GTAIV. It also works out to $60AUD including shipping which is a fair bit better than the $100-110AUD a store over here will slug you for a new release game :D

Saw some less than legal streams of the gameplay for this. Looks really fun.

You can appreciate it more if you look at it like one big parody of old western movies. Occasionally enemies you shoot dead will let out a Wilhelm scream and the action is always accompanied by tacky, yet fitting western movie style music.
