Exclusive New Red Dead Redemption Screens: Using the Lasso

Posted on February 5 2010, 7:18pm | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

In the world of Red Dead Redemption, there’s more to survival in the Wild West than just shooting your way out of trouble.  In addition to the kinds of firearms and traditional weapons featured in last week's "Weapons & Death" gameplay video, the lasso requires skill to wield and can be used to accomplish a great many tasks, including subduing man and beast.  Here are some brand new screens of Marston putting his lasso to good use on the frontier.

Full size HD screenshot versions are available at the official Red Dead Redemption site.


(John Marston applies some frontier justice by lassoing and dragging an enemy through the dirt.)


(Wild horses run free throughout the world of Red Dead Redemption.)


(Bounty Hunting missions earn Marston extra cash and goodwill with the local law.)


(Hogtied victims are much easier to return alive, and earn greater rewards than kills.)


(If Marston finds himself without a horse, he can always lasso and break a wild horse to ride.)

          i know from the multi player video you can unlock the new horse breeds but we should have a stable/field area where we can keep the horses and stuff, plus we should be able to replay bounty missions, so we never run out of things to do (minus capturing horses, hunting, herding, attacking, raiding you know all of those thousand things ;P)

                    Absolutely cannot wait to hop on a horse from town, go out and find myself a herd of mustangs, rope the best out of the herd, and break it to make it mine! Gosh I can play in co-op so I can tag-team with a friend and do this. I know Rockstar is planning multiplayer but still co-op would just make it all the better and even more unique too.

                            @gta_australia Are you serious about cruelty to VIDEO GAME animals? What about all the innocents, police officers, hookers... etc. you killed in pretty much any of the GTA games? Oh I get it... and animal life is so much more important than a human way... who cares if it's just a video game. Maybe Rockstar should throw up the American Humane Society tag at the end "No animals were harmed in the making of this game." Come on, man.

                                      I believe there are no cars plains or boats and from what i have read no swimming but that does not really matter Gamesradar said it might be demo only or it's just to make you not leave the area.

                                      But you can like take a stage coach and it will be like the Taxi in GTA IV so you can go any where possible and skip it.

                                        Could I possibly get some sort of conformation on whether or not there will be cars, boats or airplanes of some sort with respect to the setting of the game?? I'm really wondering about those modes of transportation in this game, I also am really wondering if you will be able to swim as well.

                                          Caution. Do not play Red Dead Redemption while drinking whisky. You may; A) Start gunfights B) Call people yella belly C) Hold up stagecoaches.

                                          XD
