Hold Onto Your Cowboy Hats and Prepare For Some Serious Heat

Red Dead Redemption Weapon video via me on YouTube 

*WARNING* – The video above contans lots of guns

Ok, so we know that the guns in open world games aren’t as good as those found in first-person shooters such as Modern Warfare 2 and with Rockstar’s spaghetti Western world-roaming shooter, Red Dead Redemption, the case is no different, but my word, does the game look good! I’m really loving the “dead-eye” targeting system (featuring for the first time in this video) that allows the protagonist John Marston to seamlessly paint tiny red crosses (or targets) on his enemies. It will surely bring an interesting dynamic to the game which is already looking wonderful. Shooting aside, did anyone else marvel at the graphics in the game? I swear only Rockstar can make killing cowboys look sexy. Sorry Clint Eastwood.

Red Dead Redemption releases in North America for PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 27th.

You can pre-order the game for either console via the Amazon widgets in the sidebar.
