Red Dead Redemption Gameplay Video

This is the first video highlighting gameplay and features in Rockstar’s upcoming sandbox title, Red Dead Redemption.  I think this may be old news, but I finally got around to watching it today and was really impressed.

One of the aspects that draws me to this game is the rural, largely unpopulated areas to explore.  I also enjoyed this in Fallout 3, but in RDR it seems a bit more colorful and interactive.  There are a number of reasons to explore the game’s wilderness such as finding treasure, collecting bounties, hunting, etc.  I also appreciate the apparent weather changes and day/night system, I am just hoping the map is as massive as the narrator says.

The bounty system has me excited since it was another feature in Fallout 3 which fell a bit short.  I like the option of bringing in bounties alive, who doesn’t love a good hogtie-ing?  This feature also plays into the the “honor” system, aka the game’s morality system.  I am curious what effects the player’s honor has on NPC’s, the story, etc.

Lastly, gun-play looks pretty smooth — I love the simple over-the-shoulder style when it’s done right.  The player seems pretty accurate in this video, but I wish it went into the dead-eye system a bit more.  I am sure all these topics mentioned will be touched on in more detail later.

As you may have noticed my main attraction to this game stems from my love of Fallout 3.  Both games seem very similar to me, whether intentional or not.  Nothing beats exploring some vast expanse of land jes’ you and yer guns.
