Guest Musahi Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Ok, I don't have much information on this yet so bare with me. I recently watched gameplay footage of this game on a PSM dvd. I was amazed, the targeting system looked like Devil May Cry's, but who knows? The graphics look solid, and the frame rate is nice at this point in time. Anyway it's a western, made by [b]Capcom[/b]. Here is what Gamepro.com has to say about the game. [quote][i]Designing a game based on vintage Western films can be a lot harder than it looks. Sure, you've got a rich movie tradition and mounds of atmosphere to work with, but putting it all together into a believable story?while still giving the player enough exciting stuff to do?is something that's pretty rarely seen. (Unless you count Agetec's Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman as a Western game. Which we don't.) Capcom is attempting to answer the call for some next-gen highfalutin' cowboy action with Red Dead Revolver, a new PlayStation 2 title that impressed lots of E3 showgoers (including our own Mr. Pong Sifu) a few months ago. We got some gameplay screens in earlier today, and we have to admit?they're making us all almost as excited as Pong was. Playing as a lone gunman named Red Hunter, you'll wend your way through nearly every classic Western situation in the book?shooting people off of the roofs of buildings, riding alongside a runaway train filled with bank robbers, rescuing frilly-clothed harlots from drunken villains, and so forth. It's not a gun shooter in the strictest sense of the term, though: you view the action from behind Red most of the time, using a local radar to track down enemies and dodging bullets if you don't shoot them down quickly enough. You'll have a bunch of weapons at your disposal, and strategy will play a factor now and again?there's no need to charge into an outlaw stronghold when you can go around and shoot them all in the back, after all. Red Dead Revolver doesn't have a release date quite yet, but it should come out for PS2 sometime next year. Stay tuned for more info as it comes. [/i][/quote] Also, check out some of the screens.

SS5 Gogeta Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 That looks pretty cool. I hope that there's also hand to hand combat in it as well you know starting fights in a saloon is really fun. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
