This sounds so promising. The horse-bonding is unexpected, but could be done really well. SotC well.

On an unrelated note, has anyone else decided not to buy a HTC from Vodafone because of that irritating grinning fool in the ads?

I'm probably more excited about this game than any others at the moment.

LOVED the last one.

Suddenly R* have my attention! Could be surprisingly good.

I've only ever played and enjoyed one Western game, a PC FPS by Lucasarts I think but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

Outlaws - decent game. I have Call of Juarez but wasn't too keen. Might be tempted if this is better than that was.

This might even be better than Call of Juarez (which I loved)!

Sounds very nice as it is, but during the first half of the preview I couldn't help but think it would make a great Bioware RPG:)

Now why did I think, "Huh, a new Metal Gear?", before clicking that little picture leading to the preview?

Considering Rockstar's knack for making buggy, ugly and unpolished games (with a drizzle of piss-poor combat mechanics for good measure, of course) I doubt this game will achieve high regard in my mind.

Still, I fully expect a 10/10 review from Tom Bramwell whilst he is enjoying a severe anal encounter from Dan Houser.

@Crofto

If you don't like R* games, why do you feel the urge to click on every bit of news about them? Why not spend your time somewhere else? Do you have any mom issues? Please talk.

This is a wonderfully written preview, and now I am stoked for this game. Played Red Dead Revolver on the Xbox, and although it was unpolished and a bit choppy in parts, it had a great, gritty "fistful of dollars" feel to it. Glad that R* is putting in the effort that the franchise deserves.

Loving the sound of the self-contained wildlife system, and the fact that it's using the Euphoria physics engine again, Havok's ragdoll effects just look too canned by comparison now.

This is easily one of the most exciting games on the horizon for a long time. I've dreamed of R* doing an open-world western, and this is really going to deliver.

I'm so glad rockstar is doing this and not ubisoft, I'm sick of Ubi's "open world" games with nothing to do in them

I'm guessin there will be no mobile phone in this to bore the life out of you when trying to play.

Loved Red Dead Revolver, would recommend anyone interested in this new one pick up the old one for cheap and play through it. Cant wait for this :D

His rides are easily spooked, too, with snakes, gunshots, and even reckless over-spurring causing them to throw him if he doesn't treat them right, suggesting horse management may add a fascinating wildcard to many of the game's missions.

Oh dear. Please let this be an over-exaggeration. If I have to constantly redo missions because my horse chucked me off in the middle of a chase because someone fired a gun I will be having extreme disagreements with the game.

Still at least this preview has provided more condescending twattery from Crofto which is always good for a cheap chuckle.

Why did they have to delay it? (although I was expecting the delay all along).

It really does look and sound fantastic, can't wait to see the finished product, it's bound to be superb.

Hopefully the delay is so they can work on the combat, and then work on the general attitude to combat in rockstar games. Cause yes its got horses but in the end they wont distract from the combat portion as driving does.

Still I love games set in the west.

didnt stalker have that whole open world filled with wildlife doing their own thing going on?

can't wait for this though, sounds great. im surprised that there hasnt been a load of decent wild west games, i always though it would be a decent setting.

As long as the missions are a bit more varied and not just GTA style kill this dude, collect this package, escort this type of mission it should be a winner

Well put. I occasionally find myself clicking on his history when I see one of his posts to make sure I haven't missed one of his strong (but informed!) opinion gems.

Its nice to see that they're taking inspiration from the more gritty and realistic western films, I'm definitely getting more of an Unforgiven vibe from this game.
