Pretty weird. It allmost seems too perfect. Which it isn't. Because it's just perfect. The third shot... it speaks for itself.

I've combined the two sections of map they have revealed so far:

They have yet to reveal the third section, which I believe will be in the North East.

This game looks so good, almost too good. I can't wait to finally play it.

Very nice. Thank you for that. Yea, I hope the third section is in the northeast. That gives us a hell of a lot of space to roam! Does anyone know if there is gold mining or panning in this game? I will probably spend all of my time doing that!

This is the game I have been waiting for since childhood(the 70's), I just hope that the physics based character movement is in this game from GTA 4. I hated having to wait for the animation to stop in order to do something else in GTA. It totally ruined the game for me. I am not talking about the cool, motion based animations of death and hanging on to a truck and stuff, I am talking about the character control from gamepad to screen, where they would take a few steps after you stopped moving the stick. It actually killed me more times than not in missions and made me put down the game for good, without finishing it.

Regardless, this game is looking awesome and I cannot wait for it!

I actually liked that. It's realistic. Not so good for twitchy, arcade control though. I just had to think ahead a little bit if I was moving too fast. I guess that is a "drawback" to physics-based animation...

Jep, the euphoria animation engine is back :) so we have the nice animation system:D

I suddenly feel like the kid that couldn't wait for X-mas. Rockstar, you're killing me.

@thextreme1:

The game uses the same engine as GTA so the animations system is the same. But, according to previews, the character movement has supposedly been sharped quite a bit.

the blur in GTA was a big fuck up!

What blur?

It's still there.
Also, anyone else notice the horse's tail? o.o That's ugly, what did they do, steal that asset from Runescape? Decent looking game though. Dissapointed that they still have that DUMB ASS filter blurring everything.

Probably old assets or something that changes LOD depending on the number of horses around, since here: http://images.gamersyde.com/image_red_dead_redempt... the tail looks fine.

Too sexy to be real. These must have passed from the surgeon's hands.

The horses and desert vistas really do look this good in the game. I played a really early demo back in Feb and I can confirm that.

Does it play jerk free as well?

i love how much rockstar is updating us on this game. unlike GTA how they would make you wait months before they came out with a trailer. less torture but the same amount of OMG I NEED THIS feeling for this one

Thats good to know. Thanks for the info and the map.

I doubt it'll look this good.

But yes please! Can't wait

too good to be true comes to mind

Yep,same here ! This looks to good to be real !

WOW wow WOW!!!

Looks good.. I cannot wait to play a GTA-Like game in the Wild West..

It looks absolutely amazing, but the only thing i dont like is how the trees and grass and bushes are all grainy (because of the lack of transparency-AA).

It's not so much an AA issue as the bitmaps are pretty lowrez. for every unique piece of foliage, they need a map with a texturemap, an alphamap, and usually some kind of shader. That's a lot of space if you want some variety in your fauna, unless they go with some kind of procedural process, but I don't know much about that stuff...
