For years, Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games have been keen on reminding analysts and investors of the money-making potential of its Red Dead Revolver franchise. Be that as it may, the Rockstar San Diego-created franchise has remained dormant since the Western first shot up the Xbox and PlayStation 2 in 2004.

However, that changed today. Rockstar Games has announced that Red Dead Redemption will arrive for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in fall 2009. Billed as a follow-up to Revolver, Redemption takes place several years after the events in the original, closer to the turn of the century. Central to the events is John Marston, a former outlaw caught up in the uncertain times created by the industrial age encroaching on the American frontier.

Red Dead Redemption will be powered by Rockstar's proprietary RAGE engine, better known as the game tool behind Grand Theft Auto IV. Like its top-rated sibling, Redemption offers an open-world environment in which players can explore the vast regions of the West, from rolling grasslands to frontier towns. The game will also feature its fair share of action, including both mano-a-mano gunfights and larger battles.

For those who are flaming homosexuals and like to tl;dr:

a follow-up to Red Dead Revolver

Not only is is a sequel to Red Dead Revolver, but it's probably as close as we'll get to another free roaming Wild West game like GUN for a while.

/me is happy

Gun was amazing. Never played red dead revolver though.

Red Dead Revolver was basically every spaghetti Western thrown into a game. Multiplayer was fun too.

I'd rather get a free-roaming zombie game from Rockstar tbh.

I didn't realise the original RDR was for XBox too. Gotta track me down a copy... yee-haw!

Old west games are so awsome but there are only a few of them. I really want this game.

EDIT: GODDAMMIT I hope you can be a bounty hunter.
