Presenting Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers for Facebook - An Original Dueling Social Game by Rockstar

Posted on April 12 2010, 11:20am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Today, we are proud to present the launch of Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers – an original Facebook application created by Rockstar Games. 

Inspired by Red Dead Redemption itself, Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers is an RPG social game experience created specifically for Facebook, where players can duel against friends, foes and strangers alike and level up to become the most notorious gunslinger in the land.

Create a Western gunslinger identity for yourself, and choose a character between three strategic classes: Outlaw (power), Fast Hands (speed), and Sharpshooter (accuracy).

Challenge opponents to Duels – and see it rendered out through a dynamic and bloody shootout video sequence.

Collect dozens of special Achievement distinctions only attainable by a master duelist.

Round up a notorious posse of friends to level up quicker.  Talk trash on each others’ character profile Walls.

And compete amongst your friends in friends-only leaderboards for unassailable bragging rights – or via the global leaderboards to see if you have what it takes to be the baddest gunslinger worldwide.

With your help and devoted play during this initial beta launch period beginning today, we should have all the gameplay variables fine-tuned soon. Stay tuned to hear when we’re out of beta and also for future updates to Red Dead Redemption: Gunslingers by making sure you’re a Fan of Rockstar Games on Facebook.

Get in there now at http://apps.facebook.com/reddeadredemption.

    Sorry guys - the Gunslingers Facebook app is no longer available online. Too many changes to the Facebook platform that would require a full re-coding of the game. Hope everyone enjoyed while it was online though.
    Cheers

      Is this game broken? I would really love to play this but it won't work for me. No soup for me i guess... =..(

        Doesn't work. Pressing "Start Playing" just reloads the page. Tried using latest Chrome and IE8 with adblock software disabled and popups enabled, still no luck :(

            I would LOVE to see RockStar create a Apocalyptic GTA... ROAD WARRIOR style... or even a Mid evil game...

            Or maybe a GTA game that takes place in a Futuristic world... Badass.

                I'm having problems trying to get to the app in Denmark. Local restrictions?

                    I wish this game exp could be transfered to my real game May 18th. Also, I hope I can play with my avatar off of XBLA if I want to.

                            Can anybody tell me more about Red Dead Roleplay Community? Sounds like something I would be interested in. Email me at my username at gmail dot com please. Sorry if this is against rules but I am curious.

                                And yes, I understand perfectly well the difference between clans and your communities.
                                Sorry I got you all riled up, so to speak.
                                We all know about your love for your country and how you tore down our British friend, no worries.

                                If you want the last word, mister, you can have it.

                                Sorry to double post.

                                  That's fine and dandy, RebelAllDay, but I will say it again. I was joking.
                                  I like to make jokes.
                                  For the third time, no offense intended, it does not behoove you to hold your metaphorical cojones in a defensive manner.

                                  Lighten up, bud! ^^

                                          Trust me man, you're not the only one with that lafe gaming ambition. Except mine involves riding into a saloon on a donkey, shooting everyone's hats off and leaving. XD

                                          Also, R*, we don't care about some stupid Myface app. We care about the game, so please post something new. I really want to see the full gun roster, 'coz I'm itchin' to use a Volcanic pistol!
