Red Dead Redemption Official Thread

Yeah, I saw that the other day. Very nicely made.


Here's a little interesting science study.

http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/02/03-01.html

Have you ever noticed that the first cowboy to draw his gun in a Hollywood Western is invariably the one to get shot? Nobel prize–winning physicist Niels Bohr did, once arranging mock duels to test the validity of this cinematic curiosity. Following Bohr's example, researchers have now confirmed that people move faster if they are reacting to another person's movements than if they are taking the lead themselves.

Turns out the way it's modeled in RDR is exactly like this. First person gets the first shot, but second person has more accuracy.
 
Vidya was idd a repost.

Interesting article btw and great ending.

"Our data make it unlikely that these victories can be ascribed to the benefits associated with reaction," the team concludes. "Rather, they suggest that Bohr was a crack shot, in addition to being a brilliant physicist."

Not surprising, missions were made replayable in the latest GTAIV addon so I sorta expected them to stick with it for RDR.

Also Raziaar, if it's true and the release gets delayed over here because of the ashcloud, I'm seriously going to beat up the next icelander I meet.
 
Okay.

Slowly getting more and more hyped about this game now.

Whats the UK release date again? 21st, next week friday?
 
I like how you can hunt and skin animals, but I'm wondering what you leave after you finish skinning something, a big hunk of bloody bear?
 
*sobs* ;(;(;(

my final exams start on the 24th may but this comes out on the 21st and ican't be distracted! WHAT WILL I DO???!!!

PS: actually this ****ing happened last time with rockstar when gta 4 goddamnit! Stop releasing games in may ffs!!

Oh cool, didn't know that! That's what I get for not playing Gay Tony and Lost & the Damned.
 
Gay Tony was the only one that had it. Pretty fun, especially since the missions in that game were a little over the top.
 
Not touching.
Hnnng. five days. I'm going to die. On Monday I'll have a Western marathon with The Good The Bad and The Ugly, There Will Be Blood, and some other Eastwood movies like Fistful of Dollars.
 
Trailer doesn't sit special with me. Maybe that's because I just got home from the shittiest day of this shitty job ever.
 
From a dude who was streaming the game earlier today (he got banned from XBL for 24 hours):

Yeah, looks like it.

Found a stream, but I am not watching. The self discipline is making me queasy.
 
I'm glad work is keeping me occupied. When i'm at home, i'm too tired from work to actually care about games so it all works out.


Edit: I can see the special edition slip cover in the first pic. :0
 
Don't all orders automatically get promoted to the special edition?
 
Just called my local Game Craze and they might be selling it on Saturday, so hopefully I can get it early.
 
I haven't actually preordered, but i'm about to call and ask if they can take my $5 off that new WoW expansion and put it on RDR for a SE. (I only put 5 on the wow expansion because the guy kept bugging me)

Edit: They wouldn't let me do it over the phone. ****
 
I still have a goosebumps from watching the trailer, can't wait for this game!

"Maybe you live in a different America than we" - I keep getting goosebumps at that part, lol.

EDIT: I know it's already linked, but here's the Youtube Launch Trailer.

I am tempted to purchase it myself.

Does anybody know how reliable Amazon's "Release-Date Delivery" is?

Dunno, but I'm assuming it's going to be release date delivery. I hope it just gets here early in the day rather than late.

I assume it's the same thing as next day delivery, except they deliver it a day earlier than release.
 
One week left exactly til it releases over here, I want it now goshdangit!
 
Release date delivery hasn't failed for me, but you can end up getting it as late as 7-8pm which has happened to me only once. The $20 gift card for preordering offsets this with huge testicles.
 
chances are this game will sell out in most stores.

nope doubt they saturated my store where I work at with 8 boxes, (60x a box)
And thats a whole week before the game comes out.
 
Going to move my preorder tomorrow for the SE. How much extra is it?
 
I already joined, but I dont think I was added to the list.

Yep, I only add people who directly ask me.

So get your asses asking!

I don't send a reply, but I add people immediately once I get their PM or whatever other message.
