PAX EAST 2010: Red Dead Redemption by Rockstar Games

We got a chance to see the sequel to Red Dead Revolver by Rockstar.  I have to say that I’m really impressed, its like a GTA style western game, and even more so that this time around Rockstar built the game from the bottom up.  This game boasts open world style gaming, with plenty of mini games and three different territories, one of which is a Spanish territory, where all the characters speak Spanish!  The mini games are to be very cool too, although we didn’t get to see any the producer there told us that there are mini games specific to certain towns as well as some generic mini games like taming a wild horse! Also this version will have a rep system, which is pretty fun, something that I personally love.  I like when I play a game and me doing something naughty is reflected in the game.  I kinda like to be a total bad ass, when I can.

Red Dead Redemption is not your typically GTA soapbox game where as you see

I truly liked the game, and it seems to be a big hit at the show, although people did complain about the wait time to see it. Red Dead Redemption is slated for May 18th for both PS3 and XBOX, and we were told that there already in talks to do some DLC although nothing is confirmed yet.
