Rockstar finally released a video unveiling one of the multiplayer aspects of Red Dead Redemption: free roaming. Now if this does not convince you, then there is really nothing we can do for you. Update: 24 images added.
it does sound very cool. i just hope there is a nice high player count. anything less then 32 in such a HUGE gameworld would be a bit...empty. it would take hours just to find someone.

I feel almost embarrassed. I've been seeing screenshots for this thing forever and each time wrote it off as some throwaway, unambitious title that wouldn't be worth my time.
That is until I started seeing so many people on various forums mentioning how hard it's going to be to pick up both this and Alan Wake if they are coming out so close to one another or on the same day.
Decided to check out a video and, i must say, I was plesantly surprised and very happy that I did. I also now plan on buying this game. Seems like a kind of game I've been interested in seeing for some time, but there was never really any hope of it coming, because who's going to make a major western title? Nobody, I thought.
Sounds intriguing, but still need a lot more infos. The video tries to sell it as if it's a MMO. And that's not what it is... is it?
How many NPCs are we going to see and how many players?
On a different note: A western MMO would be awesome wouldn't it? :D

There will be NPCs too you know.
i know, but this video emphesised this idea of gangs taking over towns and gangs fighting gangs. if there is only 2 gangs of 8 running around it will be hella empty.
this is how far cry 2´s multiplayer should have been like , not only the concept but also the execution, the animals in far cry 2 were so lifeless ,in comparison to the animals from RDR they were like robots pumped with morphine .

Okay fellow gamers, after carefully looking into this multiplayer I am seriously starting to believe that 4.5 million copies is a feasible number to hit!
This is literally multiplayer at its best! With your buddies on horseback taking out other posses. What a dream come true!

Gangs = AI. Posse = Players. You can fight the AI, you can fight other players, you can fight both.

WANT. NOW.
The gunplay looks amazing.
Gangs = AI. Posse = Players. You can fight the AI, you can fight other players, you can fight both.
when i say gangs i meant.... "posse"...the reason i didnt say that other word is becasue i'm not black, nor am i a gangsta rapper. plus it sounds rediculous
either way, the video said, and i quote "encounter other players in gang hideouts", now, assuming you are in an 8 man "posse", that measn there can only be 1 more 8 man "posse" in the world if the cap is 16 players....that's pretty weak sauce imo. i'd expect at least 32 in such a massive world. i mean, remember how long it took to find another player in GT4's free-roam mode....that's gonna be multiplied if the world of RDR is a gargantuan is it looks to be. needle in a haystack comes to mind.
the narrator guy even says "take out other posses" (plural) and "several posses can fight at once". so what is it, is this game capped at 16 players (boo) or more (yey)
see what you've done, you've made me type if 5 times. i feel dirty.
This is something that I honestly felt GTA4 never got enough credit for, the gunplay has always been incredible with this engine, and it seems to be getting even better with this game.
The shots to the knees and how the ai reacts to being shot in the knees or wherever else they get hit from, it's just really rewarding to see it all respond so naturally. Speaking not just from this video, but a wave of videos I've been checking since I started paying attention.
I didn't realize this was a title to watch until about 2 days ago!

First of all, "posse" isn't slang. It's a real word for everyone's use. Secondly, "becasue" and "rediculous" are not real words. You're incredibly ignorant.

Commented on 2010-04-08 22:02:22I'd like to see a Bad company Rush style mode with the gangs..so that it constantly moves throughout the open world
*EDIT. Not "gangs", posse's! - i don't want to sound like i'm a ridiculous black gangster rapper
