I enjoyed Red Dead Revolver, so I have high hopes...which means those hopes will probably be crushed.

This continues to look awesome.  I'd trade all of those multiplayer modes for the campaign to be playable co-op though - a la Saints Row 2.

Sounds a lot like Grand Theft Auto IV's multiplayer, hoping it turns out better.

looks good, but I'm worried that there will be a huge map but only a handful of interesting places to go. The Wild West was, after all, mostly just a big empty desert.

How people are not excited for this game confuses the hell out of me.  Everything I have seen about this game looks really good and I don't see any online game on consoles coming out anytime soon trying to do what Red Dead Redemption is claiming it will do for multi. Yes it has the usual online modes but it is also claiming to be so much more hunting, become a outlaw with your buddies in a Posse, random missions, and taking out gang hideouts. Man I can not wait for this game.

GTA IV's multiplayer sounded good too, yet it was incredibly bland. That's if you were even able to get a game started, thanks to R* stupid lobby system. Anyone who isn't sceptical about this deserves to get burned.
The 'auto-aim optional' is just another retarded thing from GTA IV mp that's now in BFBC2 (even hardcore mode) and I won't be surprised in the least when it turns up in this. So you either turn it on and all gunfights become rolling around spraying contests or you turn it off and get destroyed.

Ha guess I will be getting burned then I can't wait till May 18. I actually liked GTA multiplayer the only reason I  stopped playing it was when my friends started to move on to the next big thing.

Ditto. Besides, playing free roam with friends was easily some of my fondest memories of XBL.

Sounds like you were just bad at the game, no offense. I kicked the shit out of people on GTA IV's multiplayer. Auto-aim was for pussies.
 
Also, "should you choose, there are more structured competitive modes we'll reveal soon." Well, due in part to this video having been released about three weeks ago, the video he speaks of has been released. And it looks fucking sexy. Can't wait to hop on that cannon.

It makes me happy indeed to get a western game of this quality.  I'm ready to lose a lot of hours on this game.

it will only be as good as the number of players in it.
 
Free roam in a world with only three players sounds like an easy way to turn your character into the hermit who lives in the old mine shaft and eats his own feet.

Even without the top notch marketing this game has, it's still day 1 for me. Pre-ordered it months ago.
 
Nonetheless, this really does look like GTAIV in almost every way, so if you didn't like that, then you have reason to be skeptical. Me, I loved the MP in GTA, so this looks fantastic to me.

I'm amazed by the complete lack of even mentioning this game on any of the bombcasts. Perhaps there is some embargo? Or perhaps they're just not interested. Or perhaps they only talk about stuff they've actually gotten their hands on. (edit: wait a second... oh nevermind. Jeff was talking about Dead to Rights Redemption just now on the 'cast. That game has a very similar name.)
 
C'mon May 18th! If this wasn't coming out at that time, I would be buying Skate 3 instead.

I only have $40, so I won't be getting any new games for a while. 
 
 
I wasted 20 fucking dollars on Fallout 3, so I guess I have to beat and enjoy that, because I know it robbed me of RDR.
