Red Dead Redemption is an open world action-adventure Western video game, developed by Rockstar San Diego and published by Rockstar Games. It was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in May 2010.[4] It is a spiritual successor[7] to 2004's Red Dead Revolver. Most of the game's story takes place in the year 1911 in the American Old West territory and follows , a former outlaw, while he sets out to hunt down his former gang members. Upon its release, Red Dead Redemption was met with universal critical acclaim with a 95/100 on both review aggregate websites and GameRankings, making it one of the highest rated video games for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on both websites.

Gameplay Red Dead Redemption gives the player a large open world environment allowing the player to explore. Players can interact with the environment and combat enemies with firearms. Different breeds of horses are the main forms of transportation. Swimming is not an option, as the protagonist John Marston cannot swim - he will drown if he [8] ventures too far into the water. As well as following the main storyline, players can take part in random events they encounter as they explore the West. These include public hangings, ambushes, pleas for assistance, stranger encounters, drive-by shootings, and dangerous animal attacks. For example, if a group of people ride into town firing guns in the air, the player can kill them, and will receive a bonus of honor and fame. Players can also take part in optional side activities ranging from standoffs, gambling, and hunting animals for pelts, meat and other various items. Red Dead Redemption makes use of a morality system where players have the ability to gain positive or negative 'honor'. Some of the ways to gain positive honor include taking an outlaw alive instead of killing him, or saving a kidnapped innocent. Negative honor can be gained for committing crimes including killing or robbing civilians. This works along with another system, 'fame,' showing and governing how people react based on Marston's honor [9] status.

Combat and gunplay are major parts of the game. Gunfights in Red Dead Redemption are conducted using a third-person system. The

player can take cover, target a specific person, blindfire, and free aim. Individual body parts can also be targeted, in order to take targets

down non-lethally, who can then be lassoed and "hogtied" to capture individuals alive. When the player shoots an enemy, the game engine uniquely creates the AI reactions and movements. John Marston has an John Marston takes cover before an incoming arsenal of period-accurate weapons to choose from; these include horse carriage. revolvers, pistols, lever or bolt-action rifles, knives, explosives, lassos, [10] mounted gatling guns, shotguns, and cannons.

A combat feature that Marston can utilize is the "Dead-Eye" targeting system. "Dead-Eye" is used in a bullet time-like manner, allowing the player to slow down time to place a precise shot or paint in multiple shots on the body parts of one or multiple enemies. When the targeting sequence ends, Marston will fire in extremely quick succession on targeted people and objects.

Red Dead Redemption 3

Adopted from the series, Red Dead Redemption has a modified wanted system. When committing a crime such as killing civilians near other people, some will run to the nearest police station as witnesses. The player can bribe them or kill them before they reach the station. If a crime is committed near a police officer, the wanted meter immediately appears along with a bounty count where it increases with more crimes committed. To evade law enforcement in pursuit, John Marston must escape a circular zone until the wanted meter disappears. Despite the chase being aborted, John is placed with a bounty which will cause bounty hunters to come after him in the wilderness. The police will continue to challenge him again unless he pays his bounty at a telegraph station or presents a pardon letter. When arrested, John pays off his bounty and is then released. If the player does not have enough money to pay back, the police will assign bounty hunting activities.

Multiplayer Red Dead Redemption includes online multiplayer with a maximum of 16 players per session. Every multiplayer game, both free-for-all and team based, will begin with a Mexican standoff. Survivors of the standoff will be able to move to any part of the battlefield in preparation for respawning enemies. Crates in the environment will contain extra weapons, ammo, as well as recharge Dead-Eye powers, which has all the features of the single player version except for slow motion. Players can up and complete weapon challenges giving rewards such as character [11] models, golden weapon skins, and new mount breeds. Both regular and team versions of Shootout mode follows a traditional deathmatch scenario where players or teams must accumulate the most kills. Many Capture the Flag variants are also available. Hold Your Own is a traditional capture the flag, where each team has their own bag of gold to defend from the enemy team. Grab The Bag has both teams attacking one bag placed in a section of the map. Gold Rush is a free-for-all variant, trying to grab and keep as many bags, spawned all across the map, as possible. Like Grand Theft Auto IV's free mode, Red Dead Redemption has its own free roaming mode. All players in the server can form and join player parties, named "posses", of up to eight players and taking part in activities such as [12] attacking computer-controlled gang hideouts or other player posses, go hunting, and create in-server matches.

Plot In the year 1911, John Marston, a retired outlaw formerly of a gang led by Dutch van der Linde, is taken away from his wife Abigail and his son by government agents. The agents tell John that his family will be safely returned to him if he hunts down and kills the remaining lead members of his former gang. Left with no choice, John travels to the county of New Austin to capture or kill one of his old friends, Bill Williamson, who now runs his own gang of bandits out of Fort Mercer. John confronts Williamson at the fort, only to be shot and left for dead outside the fort. A rancher, Bonnie MacFarlane, finds him wounded, and brings him to a doctor to be treated. After recovering from his wounds several days later, John begins repaying the MacFarlanes for their help. At the same time, he recruits help for a plan to attack Fort Mercer. Along with U.S Marshal Leigh Johnson, con man Nigel West Dickens, grave robber Seth and drunken arms dealer Irish, John uses a Trojan Horse strategy to breach the fort and massacre Williamson's gang, only to find that Williamson had already fled to Mexico to seek help from Javier Escuela, another member of John's old gang. Irish agrees to take John into Mexico over the river border so he can continue his search. In Mexico, John is forced to work with Mexican Army Colonel Agustin Allende and Captain Vincente de Santa, as well as the revolutionaries in the area led by Abraham Reyes (based on Mexican revolutionary Francisco I. Madero). Allende promises to deliver Escuela and Williamson to John, but soon betrays and has de Santa execute John for working with the revolutionaries and killing Allende's men with elder gunslinger and childhood inspiration Landon Ricketts. After escaping execution, John sides with the rebels who help kill de Santa and successfully get John to Escuela. Following Escuela's capture or death, John joins Reyes and his men for an assault on Allende's villa, not

only culminating in the deaths of Allende and Williamson, but also John's rebel friend Luisa as well when she attempts to save Reyes. Reyes takes control of the surrounding Mexican counties, and vows to march onto the capitol with his rebel army. John, meanwhile, returns to the city of Blackwater to meet with his government contact, Edgar Ross. Much to his dismay, Ross will not let John return to his family until Dutch van der Linde, who has emerged from hiding, has been killed. While Dutch and his men wage war on the United States Army in the area, John has several run-ins with Dutch who manages to elude capture each time. John eventually joins Ross and a group of U.S. soldiers in an assault on Dutch's hideout. John follows the outlaws to their base, and confronts Dutch on a cliff. Dutch ultimately chooses to commit suicide, leaping off a cliff to his death. Before jumping, however, Dutch warns John that the government will always find another "monster" to justify their pay. John is released from his deal with the government, and returns to his family at his ranch. After some time spent getting the farm up and running again, John is forced to repel the army when Ross betrays him, leading a surprise attack on the property and killing John's friend, Uncle. John manages to get Abigail and Jack out safely but is shot dead by soldiers after sacrificing himself to allow his family a life of normalcy. Jack and Abigail then return to the ranch, finding John dead and the soldiers gone. The game then jumps to 1914, after the death of Abigail, an older Jack stands at his parents' graves before tracking a retired Edgar Ross. After receiving a tip from a government agent in Blackwater, Jack ultimately discovers Ross hunting on a riverbed in Mexico. The two decide to have a lethal duel to settle matters once and for all with Jack killing Ross. After defeating Ross, Jack receives the latest edition of the newspaper, detailing the outcomes of some of the individuals that aided his father three years ago. Irish accidentally shot himself dead in the town of Thieves' Landing, Marshal Leigh Johnson retires from service vowing never to return to Armadillo, Landon Ricketts dies of old age, Seth became wealthy after finally finding the treasure he sought, and Abraham Reyes was considered a "tyrant" after overthrowing the Mexican government and becoming president.

Development and marketing A trailer of the project was sent to a select number of people at a conference in 2005, promoting the release of the PlayStation 3 system. The trailer was a tech demo of RAGE set in a western setting referred to as Old West Project and a direct sequel to Red Dead Revolver. The trailer circulated throughout the internet.[13] In the April [14] edition of , Red Dead Redemption was listed as being for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. On February 3, 2009, Rockstar Games announced the first official trailer.[15] [16] Resulting trailers showcased numerous characters, gameplay features, and multiplayer modes that will be featured in the final release. The game was featured on NASCAR Joey Logano's #20 Toyota Camry in the Nationwide Series running of the O'Reilly 300 at Texas Motor Speedway on April 17, 2010. In North America, television network Fox presented Red Dead Redemption: The Man from Blackwater, a half-hour short film directed by John Hillcoat which explores [17] part of the game's story on May 29, 2010. In North America, GameStop and Rockstar collaborated on a pre-order bonus in which customers could vote for one of three outfits that Marston could unlock in the game. Each outfit came with a different bonus. For example, the "Deadly Assassin" outfit allows Marston to regenerate slow-mo "Dead-Eye" targeting twice as fast. The "Savvy Merchant" would halve the purchasing price of ammunition and guns and double the selling price for ammunition and guns. The "Expert Hunter" would double the amount of money the player could get from selling hides of animals. Voting was open to all, but only those who pre-ordered the game through Gamestop will receive the winning outfit, The Deadly Assassin.[18] . However, Rockstar announced that in an upcoming patch to fix several [19] issues players are experiencing, they will release the other two outfits for all users free of charge.

Red Dead Redemption 5

Along with the GameStop pre-order special, there are several other pre-order bonuses through other game store chains throughout North America, Europe, and Australia. These are the "War Horse" and the "Golden Guns".[20] The War Horse is a black horse with a white mane, tail and markings considered "" as well as being "faster" and having "more health" than any other horse in the game.[21] The golden guns reward increases fame with each kill, allowing users to progress much quicker up the ladder of fame.[21] The official online Rockstar Games store, the Rockstar Warehouse, offers a Red Dead Redemption T-shirt as the pre-order bonus. A limited edition version of Red Dead Redemption has been announced. With some countries receiving the Golden Guns and the War Horse, all will contain the Deadly Assassin outfit along with the original soundtrack.[22] [23] Exclusive additional content such as a new gang hideout and a outfit from one of the game's gangs, is available for the PlayStation 3 version of the game.[24] In addition for the PlayStation 3 version, certain trophies in the game unlock rewards for PlayStation Home, PlayStation 3's online social gaming network[25] with other content, such as costumes, available for purchase in Home.

Downloadable content On June 22, 2010 Rockstar Games released the first for Red Dead Redemption titled Outlaws to the End. The content includes six new cooperative side missions ranging from raiding a mine and stealing the gold to riding down a river to secure a town's weapon cache. New multiplayer challenges as well as new trophies/achievements are also included. The downloadable content is free for all users on PS3 and users with an Xbox Live Gold Membership on the Xbox 360. The creators at Rockstar also stated at a press conference that two other costumes in the vote for pre-ordered outfits (savvy merchant and expert hunter) would be released later in the [26] summer of 2010 as free downloadable content for all users on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Updates On 12 June 2010, Rockstar released the second patch (1.02) for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions, [27] addressing numerous issues.
