Exclusive New Red Dead Redemption Screens: Taking Cover

Posted on January 22 2010, 4:34pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Check out this set of brand new screenshots from Red Dead Redemption, featuring the game's advanced cover system - crucial for ambushes and intense shootouts.

Full size HD screenshot versions are available at www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption.


(As the horse-drawn cart inches closer, Marston readies his revolver to take out the driver and passenger.)


(From time to time, Marston is joined by allies who help him on his mission.  Here, Marshall Johnson takes cover behind an outhouse, ready to incapacitate an oblivious gang member.)


(John Marston takes cover beside a cart of hay to take out a distracted enemy.)


(Marston prepares to turn the corner and shoot through the window to get the upper hand on an outlaw.)

    actually the red or blue bar symbolises your dead eye meter. you might be right about the horse though.

      You guys i noticed something while i was watching videos, if you look at the introduction video, the 4 min one, you can see that around the map, theres a blue line and a red line, the blue one is the health of your horse, when ur rididng it, and the red one is your life, if you dont believe me ,see for yourself!!!!!!!!!! =)

                There's that natural arch again. It sure does get featured a lot in these pictures.

                                  Love the screenshots. Love the game i haven't even played. But since I'm already gonna buy it maybe give me some more specifics rather than pictures. Such as what are the weapons specifically, where do game saves happen, can all vehicles be driven and are there any we haven't seen, what kind of gambling is in the game, how fast does time go by, does Marshal get to carry and draw 2 pistols, does the game continue even after it has been won, etc.

                                  But nevertheless i enjoy everything you guys give us. Thx

                                      nice screens but im geting bored i guess we all want to see more then screens witht that said i can only ask you guys at rockstar for a new gameplay video (as long as possible) and i think that the outfit in the last screen is new going good........ also show us the outfits for pre order before the end of january last but not least my only hope for this game is a special edition.... it could include a revolver (real scale) or something western-related.

                                      Deathvein i guess that taking cover behind rocks is a featureobviously included in this game xD i mean in gta 4 you could take cover behind everything so it wont be hard to do it in this game too =P

                                        Some nice screenshots there. RDR will be my first game of 2010. I'll pre-order it sometime soon. I want to wait and find out if there's going to be a special edition available in the UK. There's nothing worse than pre-ordering a game, only to discover a badass SE has been released. ;)

                                        Will Marston be able to take cover behind rocks? With all the open space in the desert, I imagine it would be quite difficult to hide from enemies once they approach. Saying that, Marston can always lift his arms up and take the shape of a cactus!
