UPDATE:
Special thanks from us to everyone who’s endured waiting on the queue to get their hands on Red Dead Redemption so far this weekend – and to all those who’ve been sharing their first hand impressions on Twitter.
Also thanks to bringdlc2ps3 (got your wish) for calling our attention to crunchgear’s vid of the line live from PAX:

































As much as I hate to glorify such a situation, that might be a good idea. Maybe not purely focused on Mexico. I see it as a play on the current drug wars along the border. Maybe with some No Country for Old Men flair... Cormac McCarthy is brilliant after all...
Only problem I foresee is the location isn't exactly attractive or offer much in the way of beautiful views. Redemption benefits from being stylized after the romantic American west, where the entire southwest looks like Monument Valley. The fact is much of it is pretty flat, dry, and boring. It only gets worse the closer to Mexico you get (as well as the northern states of Mexico).
I guess to give a city flair it could feature towns stylized after El Paso and Tucson... otherwise the entire area is pretty empty.
But that's all completely off topic.
I'm looking forward to Redemption.
What? lol
I don't worry, I know whatever you do it'll be perfect. Im just saying that I would prefer the day and ---ht cycle would be longer than 24 minutes, since that about 12 minutes of daytime. I mean I wanna be able to ride for a long time without having to set camp all the time. However I'm sure you'll do what's best, not a big thing anyway^^
Abyway, I'm going away on 1st april to Tenerife until 9th aril so I'll miss the big news on multiplayer:( and any other tasty news for that matter....
Rockstar, me and my friends support you and this game, we love you!:D
Sorry for not keeping it on topic, but wait, when did we actually have a topic about the bugs in Gta IV AWP Trophy? huh? If it was fixed we would'nt have to talk about it... Sorry R*
Most of the other questions we can’t answer at the moment – but hang tight. Some good stuff coming this week!
@russelljones let’s try and keep it on topic, sir
Thx everybody
Nice man, The GTA IV platinum is deffinately the platinum that makes me respect the ones who can get it.
Im ALMOST done the AWP only need to do like 20 or 30 more matches if the system doesnt glitch on me...:(
Anyways yea I wanna get the platinum before I get EFLC cuase I wanna get all the EFLC trophies to.
At 0:43 "So, Why is this game so cool?"
----------------------------------------------------
If any PS3 GTA IV players who want to obtain the AWP trophy but have been having troubles getting people for it im avaible.
Ive been wanting to platinum Grand Theft Auto IV the most out of all my games but the AWP trophy is just very time consuming.
I dont plan to do it all in one run becuase I triead that once for eight hours straight and it was a ---htmare.
So if anyone is interested send me a message on PSN saying AWP trophy or something so I know who it is.
My PSN is jonesoda and it would be best to also use MSN to communicate, My msn is PSNJonesoda@hotmail.com.
