Good, Bad, Red



Trailer for Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar's Autumn dated western sandbox. Redemption follows up 2004's Red Dead Revolver, previously an orphaned Capcom project that Rockstar rescued, and reworked. Revolver was a grimy ode to 60s Spaghetti Westerns, with Morricone on the soundtrack, and a squinting Clint clone up front. Redemption appears to have leaped forward a decade to the revisionist oaters of the 70s. There's more than a little Peckinpah in this here shill-short; the industrial revolution, and shrinking frontiers hanging heavy. Who doesn't want an interactive shrine to outdated, auto-destructive masculinity? Not me, no sir. Sign me up!
