            Just read the new OXM review and it said if you’re a low level newbie a literal jackass will mosey on over to schlep you around when you whistle. LOL so donkey riding is now confirmed.

              @ Spade305

              Swimming = Yes (from what I have heard/read anyway)

              Bow and Arrow = not confirmed but could be assumed with Indians in the game

              Donkey riding = can’t remember but I think was confirmed in an article somewhere. I think it said something about riding animals that can normally be ridden like horses, donkeys, and possible bull rides like in a rodeo but not stuff like cows, deer, or bear.

              It’s getting late so that’s the best I can do for you.


              @ Anyone else

              My play style

              I try to make my choices in the games I play like I would in real life. Help people out when possible and usually nice and non-confrontational but wouldn’t think twice about putting a bullet in anyone’s head if they threaten or do harm to me, my family, or anyone near me weather I know them or not, in any way.

                        Two posts in a row. I'm spending too much time on here. Anyway, I was rewatching the video and at 2:52 obviously Marston is in a corral but I'm wondering... Do we get a choice to place our horse in a corral with other horses and untack them instead of tying them up to a post? Or could Marston have spent the ---ht in that town and is going to the town corral in the morning to retrieve his horse? Eiather way everything about this game seem so realistic it unbelievable. Practically a living, breathing, western world located on a game disk that we can tape into anytime. Oh, and I think Rockstar changed their site background unless I'm remembering wrong but I can't seem to remember Marshall holding a wanted poster. I like it!

                          Neat BigRomeo615. If this can be done then on the first save I'm gonna play the good guy and get all the discounts from the town stores. On save two I'm gonna play the baddest of the bad & make all the opposite decisions I made in the first save. Oh yes!

                            Heres my play style...
                            on my no cheats saved game i will will live a quite life. Find me a job be it in town or skins from prey.If at some point Martons wife is around ill stay near that area.I will walk normal,only run if i would in r/l,no drinking no gambling,just a everyday joe in the west..from time to time i will travel by train to the bigger cities(even marston needs a vacation)but i will not kill a person unless im forced.im not sure yet if i will help people in need cause it will prob cause me to kill or wound someone..not sure yet what Masrtons morals will be..say will i be a only look out for me and mines or a do good'er that helps people.(random events)

                            On my cheat save i will be a selfish murder,hell bent on killing every sheriff and out law i can find.That line "I buried more kids then i raised" always had me thinking what kind of person would i be if i had to watch my kids die..My answer is a cold blooded killer..Very calm,almost never runs(walk slow like jason kill u style) and my trade mark kill styles..If they have a weapon 1 shot to the hand to knock it out,then 1 right between the eyes..if no weapon 1 shot between the eyes all so mo..innocent kills will get a shot to the knee then a back of the head shot...pop! i wont do much of the story so i wont have the whole map for awhile so i will be known in the area as the 1 person u dont wanna F with..

                            My online style will be leader of a dusty gang..robbing any and every lil town in my way..getting drunk then killing the whole saloon till we die...cant even think of what RS is gonna do for game modes so i hope is a co-op ish type mode like bomb the base,and the group objectives in lost n damned..

                            how u guys gonna play ur Marston? thinking and reading of the game helps to pass the time..at least for me

                              That was the OXM preview which was pretty cool and a good read. Cannibals…LOL you gotta love R*.


                              @ ANYONE

                              I can’t wait for this game and multiplayer info, finally pre-ordered it for the Xbox 360 from GameStop.

                              I hope BigRomeo615 and Play Magazine are right about this

                              He says: '' we've spent a lot of time thinking about what people would want - being able to ride in a posse, keeping the dynamic events in the open world so you can all interact with them and assault gang hide-outs, tear up towns, even hunt down the larger animals in a group - it's all possible. At the same time things like duelling in groups, a big 'Once Upon a Time in the West-like standoff but with more than double the amount! Also, it gives us a chance to put our western spin on some classic competitive multiplayer modes such as Capture the Flag and so on.''

                              Because that sounds like my multiplayer hopes are true especially if they have split-screen as well.

                                  no offense but i think that is a rubbish dea, how would you know whos track is whos? would it be a bandits or a lawmans, or a simple farmer or normal civilian, and plus that would mean there would be loads of different tracks which would be confusing, and who would bother with traps when men of the west in those day were real men and just put a bullet in your head or had a duel. good try but that idea is a fail. sorry.
                                  • reddeadfanaticon March 22 2010, 11:36amReply
                                    You can follow the tracks left by other players and place traps to eliminate or confuse his pursuers? For example, if you are being hunted by the law there are bounty hunters that chase us and we to eliminate wrong track or have we place traps such as the holes with bolts (not visible to the hunter) so that cadendoci die inside (along the horse), the thorny branches that operated the trap can kill the player or simply use a bush or a blanket to avoid leaving tracks or set fire to the prairie, forest, plain or (if possible) to poison a water source, conversely, if we follow the traces left by hunters and trappers to be careful, if you leave, and hit at the right time such as during the rest to the field or seek a shortcut to the outlaws and capture / kill him.
                                    These are ideas that came to me, see if you can achieve.
                                    Remains a good game even without this idea.

                                      I read in a preview, though I can't recall which one, eiather OXM mag. or Play that you have to be careful when choosing a campsite because they could be bandits posing as nice campsite goers (we knew that) or they... are you ready? could be CANNIBALS. From the preview it said, not in these edxact words but that the player(one of the previewers) ran into a camp where the man had a woman tied up ready to eat her. If you knew this already... fine. If you didn't then here you go. I'm sure you'd like to read the preview well I dont have the time to post it right now but go to ign.com type Red Dead Redemption into search and visit the message boards. Im sure a link will be listed in the boards.
