Red Dead Redemption is a sandbox-style action-adventure western video game developed by Rockstar San Diego, due for release on April 27, 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is the spiritual successor to 2004's Red Dead Revolver.

The game is set in 1908; it focuses around a former outlaw, John Marston, who is blackmailed by U.S. Government Agent Edgar Ross to search across the troubled American Frontiers to help bring in the rule of law. It was revealed that Marston has come to kill or capture his former gang members that include his old friend Bill Williamson. Along the way Marston meets a bunch of charismatic characters including Marshal Leigh Johnson and his Deputies, and becomes strong allies with them as he searches for Williamson. As Marston moves through into the Mexican border he encounters a rebel soldier called Abraham Reyes who needs his assistance in a Revolution against the Mexican Army in 1910.

The game will use open world gameplay very similar to the Grand Theft Auto series with sandbox environments and a free-roaming ability. The environments will include frontier towns, prairies, and mountain passes. Realistic horses created with the Euphoria animation engine will play a major part of the game's transport. The game will also feature over 40 different types of animals that can be hunted; these animals include Cattle, Bison, Pigs, Bears, Cougars, Deer, Wolves, Coyotes, Vultures and many more.

The game will be developed using the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine used by Grand Theft Auto IV.


The game sure looks brilliant, and for those of you who loved the GTA Series you will love this as its basically a Wild Western Version of the Grand Theft Auto Series.
