Hey Guys! Will RDR be 16:9 format, or in 4:3, or will it change automatically?

All games on the 360 are 16:9

Some have the ability to be set for 4:3, I doubt Red Dead Revolver will be able to do it

All 360 games are 16:9 Though the games also support 4:3. I know GTA did so I expect RDR will too.

[QUOTE="Trinitarian"]anyword on what the actual sq. mile map size is yet, thxarchvile_78

Eurogamer rated it 8/10. A con for them was the fact the world map was way too big. Yeah its hard to take seriously but that tells you a lot.

That's subjective.. How can you complain about the map being too big with the amount of things you can do in the game? It's like saying, "Hey Arch. Would you like $1000 dollars or $10,000 (with no strings attached)?" I would want a bigger game. That usually indicates more gameplay hours and more depth. Maybe my analogy is terrible and my speculation is moot to some.. but how can you really place that as a "con." Oblivion had a HUGE world map.. and so did Fallout 3. The points of interest in those games alone are staggering.. yet no one really complained. Did they? Eurogamer. You suck! :P

Since this is the only place to talk about RDR on these forums.. I wanted to raise a question. A topic if you will. I called my local gamestop and they aren't even having a midnight release. They had one for Gears of War 2, Mass Effect 2, FF13, but not Read Dead Redemption or Alan Wake. Two huge big hit titles are coming out on the same night/day and this gamestop isn't having a Midnight Launch. Did the huge selection of videogames in March hurt people's pockets? They did have a break in April with just only Splinter Cell Conviction toping the charts. Maybe people do not like Westerns so much? But ranking in around #3 on Gamestops bestsellers should warrant a midnight launch. I live in the greater Los Angeles area.. right in the heart of LA actually, but no give.

My dear friend who works at Gamestop as a manager says that they need to have a certain quota of games sold to warrant a midnight launch. That's what she told me.. and I know she has no reason to lie. hehehe. Anyways.. it's quite interesting that RDR didn't sell enough pre-orders and "paid-in-fulls" to earn a ML.

I love when im not interested in a game until release day... Saves me all the heartache! Now im stoked about this though. I for one loved the movement and physics in GTA4, especially the driving. And i loved riding Agro around in SotC, so i have hopes that the horses are somewhere in between those two. Any word on the size of the area you can explore when its all opened up? I will explore the crap out of it.

Did you get the limited edition? GameStop automatically upgraded. I took out the map and it's Gigantic. It's the size of a poster.

*Patiently waiting to get off of work*

I watched a short stream of game-play yesterday, and it just...just, wow. I want to inhale it, squeeze the package and caress it against my body.

Why must I wait!

I wanted to get the Gentleman's outfit which was on the back of the game manual. I tried to get a new Rockstar SC account, but I kept getting a server error message. Is anyone else having this problem? also, when will the free co op dlc arrive? I thought it was supposed to be day one.

My game ships today but I won't get it till later on the week or early next week. :( Anyway, anyone know if you can be in a posse of 2 and take on other posses of 2? Do they have variations of posse member numbers for multiplayer?

tomrocks666

We have two game nights because not everyone from Europe can play the day after U.S. release. Check the game night page for the other date (the following Wednesday). I also planned to record footage of the game night to share with everyone. I'll share more details as it becomes available.

Every time I try to click "Multiplayer" from the menu to go into free roam, it tries to load and gives me an error saying "A network connection was lost. You have been returned to single player." There is nothing wrong with my connection at all. Why can I not play the multiplayer? What should I do? Is anyone else having this problem too?

Oh, I was just wondering because the map is pretty sick. It probably comes with the Normal Edition too.

You've got to be kidding me! So no one sees that this game (as awesome as it is) is basically GUN with VATS and is nothing like Red Dead Revolver?

albatrossdrums: I went ahead and deleted your concern here since it's a bit on Off-topic for the subject at hand (game night and this new game) and because a staff member addressed your concern in the site enhancement forum. Thanks for posting your feedback in the site enhancements forum too.

Only played single player so far, but wow. Wow.

As good as the music is, I've turned it off for a more immersive experience. And what an immersive experience it is.

This is gonna be many people's GOTY, no doubt.

I try and D/L it, it says validating, and then it shows me a screen that says "Downloadable content installed: No downloadable content installed" guess I'll try later. Also this game is amazing, if it keeps up it's gonna be one of the best this gen easily.

I played about 2 hours of single players and then tried some free roam, and let me tell you that free roam is fun as hell. Its so funny when you kill somebody then they kill you and then you two just stand there and start talking and go do a mission or something. Possies are fun to be on cuz you get to go up aginst other possies or u can just do your own thing. I havnt even tried a deathmatch or something yet but im sure its just as fun. ROCKSTAR DID IT AGAIN. also i just wanna see what gamespot gives it. probably a 9.5

Does as soon as possible constitute a proper timeframe? :) With the title just coming out earlier today, this was the first time we experienced this problem (Posts like yours also helped us gauge how widespread it is). We need to make sure we have the right fix and give it proper test before going live however. Once I have a solid ETA, I'll be sure to reply to this thread again and update you. Cool?
