Anyone remember the PS2 spaghetti western title Red Dead Revolver? Well we will be getting a sequel which should come out by Fall 09.
Developed by Rockstar San Diego, as a follow up to the 2004 hit game, Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. The story of former outlaw, John Marston, Red Dead Redemption takes players on a great adventure across the American frontier.
“The team at San Diego have massively exceeded our expectations with the sheer depth of experiences in Red Dead Redemption. The seamless combination of breathtaking beauty and intense action, all woven together with strong plotlines in a massive vibrant, rural environment is mind-blowing. We think this game helps to push the limits of what an open-world gaming experience can be.” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games.
The game will use Rockstars RAGE engine, and the game will feature an open-world environment (with wildlife to boot) to play around in with a variety of side missions. This to me is looking to be Grand Theft Auto mixed with Farcry 2 and the wild wild west. Definitely a title to look out for as the year goes on. Below are 7 screens released by Rockstar
