The prequel to 2004's Red Dead Revolver promises a vibrant, rural open world taking place several years before the first game. It's an open world game that will use Grand Theft Auto IV's RAGE engine and Euphoria physics. You play as John Marston, a former outlaw.

Overview

The prequel to 2004's Red Dead Revolver will feature a large open world with "strong plot lines in a massive vibrant, rural environment".  Red Halow will not be the lead character for Red Dead Redemption but instead will be replaced by former outlaw named John Marston.  Events will take place during the turn of the 20th century.
 
The world crafted for the game is the largest ever in a Rockstar game. Every building in the game has an interior which may be explored. The vast expanses of the American West also provide some interesting moments in the form of random events. Stagecoach robberies and attacks by wild animals randomly punctuate excursions between towns. Fast travel between areas is provided by stagecoach or train. Travel takes place normally by foot or on horseback. If you lose your horse, you may whistle to call it back to you. If the horse dies, you may wrangle and break a wild horse to make it your own.

Gameplay

The game plays from a third-person perspective. In addition to standard combat, the game also offers a method for marking targets in bullet-time. Action in the game world slows for a time while the player marks enemies by moving the targeting reticule over them. Once this mode commences, the character will fire off all the marked shots. This ability is charged from a meter. Combat may take place from the ground or from the back of the horse. When shooting from the horse, the horse will continue along its current path even taking turns to follow the current road. If combat is initiated on the ground near your horse, the horse may flee and require the player to call it back once the smoke has cleared.
 
Morality has an affect on your interactions with the game world. As decisions are made, points are gained either toward good or evil which will influence the player's reputation and the demeanor of other characters when approaching or approached by the player.
