anyway i just picked it up for PS3 today. ive mostly been playing online as Kazuya gaining ranks and seeing some of the new moves. however it appears their campaign mode is expanded beyond the capabilities of the earlier Jin sidestory game of Tekken 5. also appears to be how you unlock a lot of stuff.

stunning graphics and a great addition to the saga. i especially like the beginning of the campaign mode summing up the story so far in case anyone didnt know it. ]]> Computer/Console Gaming shinobijesus http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2675283 Official: Red Dead Redemption http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2674212&goto=newpost Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:28:41 GMT Welcome the new GTA, from Rockstar- 12 Things you need to know about Red Dead Redemption *1) YOU PLAY AS JOHN MARSTON * We presumed the lead... Welcome the new GTA, from Rockstar- 12 Things you need to know about Red Dead Redemption

1) YOU PLAY AS JOHN MARSTON

We presumed the lead would be Red from the original Red Dead Revolver, but it isn't. John Marston's your man. He’s voiceless in the demo (voice talent will be confirmed later) but his body language and the scars on his face – almost identical to Red’s – suggests he’s a no-nonsense, badass.

Marston’s background is similar to Rockstar’s other anti-hero, Niko Bellic from GTAIV. He’s a reformed outlaw who used to run with a notorious gang. He’s settled down with his family but all of a sudden The Bureau – who are later to become the FBI – turn up and deliver a horrific ultimatum. From here John’s life is thrust back into his previous dark ways.


2) IT'S HUGE

Bigger than GTA IV's Liberty City, in fact. Our demo highlighted the vastness perfectly as John trotted from town to town over huge expanses of dusty desert, but that doesn’t mean there’s much to do (see 6). It’s split into three areas - the Frontier, the Plains and even Mexico.

There’s a train line that runs through the entire map too. We’re expecting to be able to ride it between different areas in a similar way to the subway system in GTAIV. One of the missions even involves racing along side a locomotive and protecting it from incoming attacks.


3) IT USES RAGE AND EUPHORIA PHYSICS

A tweaked version of the GTAIV engine is being used in Red Dead Redemption. As such the combat and movement feels very familiar, in a good way, obviously. So John will brush past folk in a realistic pushing motion and the people who are unlucky enough to be on the end of his six-shooter bullet will collapse according to where they’re hit.

The highlight of this comes in a stagecoach mission. It’s a classic on-rails jaunt as you ride shotgun for a merchant that’s just fleeced some bandits. You can blast them off their horses (which, we’ll add, are beautifully animated) but to demonstrate the physics a few steeds were popped in the head to show how their riders were thrown off. It’s a bit like blowing a tyre in GTA except horsy will crumple rather than swerve about. Nasty.


4) THERE'LL BE PLENTY OF MINIGAMES

These games are a source of income for John. We’re expecting poker and other card-based gambling games but the one we’ve seen is something completely different.

Five Finger Filet is where you get a knife then stab the gaps between your fingers. Like that thing you used to do in school with a compass to impress your mates.

It’s a case of hitting the correct buttons as they flash on-screen. Miss the prompt and you’ll carve into your hand. Ouch.


5) THERE ARE LOADS OF ANIMALS

We’ve seen cougars, vultures and rabbits so far, but apparently there’ll be armadillos, wolves and bears in Red Dead Redemption too. Not only will you be able to hunt these beasts and sell their hides but the ecology system in the game means bigger animals will actively hunt smaller ones. Should be interesting watching a scrap between a grizzly and a pack of wolves.


6) RANDOM EVENTS ARE A NICE TOUCH

Wander through the seemingly barren lands and you’ll witness hangings, poor saps being dragged around by outlaws or even people being chased by cougars, screaming for help. These aren’t just eye-candy either, no sir, you can interact with these situations for rewards or kudos from certain characters.

One surprising event we come across is a lady in her underwear wailing for help near her over-turned stagecoach. As John approaches, a gang of bandits run out to try and cut him up. It’s a setup. This lawless land will test your moral fibre just like GTAIV does.


7) THERE'S A NEW DEAD EYE MODE

You’ll still be able to slow down time and target six specific areas for a quick-fire blast but this is now exclusive to pistols. The other Dead Eye mode enables a more traditional bullet-time where you can use rifles and shotguns to pick off gringos with the added bonus of slowing time.


8) YOU CAN BECOME A WANTED MAN

Act a fool too much in Red Dead Redemption and the locals will become hostile toward you. As yet, we’ve not seen any fisticuffs involving angry citizens but Wanted posters will pop up in towns with your face on. We’re anticipating the ability to hunt wrong-doers down just like you could when using GTAIV’s Most Wanted police computer.


9) THE WILD WEST CHANGES AT NIGHT

There’s a full night/day cycle in here. When the sun sets you’ll see campfires illuminating the wastelands. There’s talk of being able to sit down with these campers who’ll tell tales of different things, including the actions of Red. Nice.

It’ll no doubt be an eerie experience at night too, especially with the danger of wolf or bear attacks in the darkness.


10) THERE ARE ONLINE MULITPLAYER MODES

We know there will be an online presence in Red Dead Redemption (we saw it on the debug menu) but sadly, Rockstar won’t be showing anything for a while. Still, a huge battle between cowboys and, umm, Native Americans is an exciting prospect.


11) IT'S AS GRITTY AS YOU LIKE

We’ve not seen any dismemberment yet, but the slow-mo shots are like watching that bit at the beginning of Robocop – y’know where Murphy gets filled with bullets? – but there's plenty to suggest a rather unpleasant environment.

One mission we watch involves a woman being hung. You have to race to her aid and cut her down but the sight of her feet kicking out is grim. We’ve also seen a bloke being ravaged by cougars and people being dragged behind horses.

Coupled with the roaming tumbleweed, moody soundtrack (which isn’t confirmed but sounds amazing) and merciless bandits, you’ve never been to a place quite like this.


12) JOHN CAN USE A LASSO...

For stringing up foes or simply snagging an animal to skin. And for the cowboy who likes to get up close and personal, he'll also be able to use axes and knives too. No word on brutal scalpings yet though.

I did see at walmart that some 360's do not have a hard drive.
Do you need a hard drive to play/save games?

The story is, my friend has both consoles but wants to get MW2 for the xbox because most of his other friends have one and I'm pretty much the only one with a PS3. He'll sell me his while he gets an elite or even the MW2 edition. He already sent it in to fix the RROD so it shouldn't crap out again.
