[PS3/360] Red Dead Redemption

Not seen a thread about this highly hyped game and thought I would create one so we can discuss this seemingly epic game.

Synopsis
The game is set in America in the early 1900s; it focuses around a former outlaw, John Marston. Marston has been given the primary directive by government agents to kill or capture his former gang members, which includes his old 'friend' and gang leader Bill Williamson. If he does not do so, his family will pay the price. Along the way Marston is given work as the game will use open world with sandbox environments and a free-roaming ability. The environments include frontier towns, deserts, prairies, and mountain passes. The game features over 40 different types of animals that can be hunted including cattle, bison, beaver, bears, cougars, rattlesnakes, deer, wolves, mustangs, coyotes, wild boars, vultures, bighorn sheep, elk, ducks, other birds, and more to be revealed.

Multiplayer
Red Dead Redemption pushes the envelope of the open-world experience. Instead of lobby screens, the player is placed into the single-player map and given the freedom to explore with a lobby consisting of up to 16 people with the additional option of creating a "posse" ranging from 2-8 people. While exploring online the player's experience will share many of the same features which can be found in the single-player experience. At any given time the player is able to roam the country hunting game, search for unassuming, unsuspecting settlers out on the trail, serve vigilante justice by the gun, enjoy the scenic beauty of the expansive map, or assume the role of a lawman seeking to bring order to the chaos that was the west. Gunning down innocent civilians will warrant the same punishment as the character would receive in single-player while the player will be rewarded for completing challenges having to do with serving justice to bandits terrorizing the countryside. As the player climbs the ladder of experience (towards the level cap of 50) they will gain new, pre-selected character skins, titles, weapons, and modes of transportation.

I have added some gameplay images of multiplayer and will upload more as I come across them and I will also add more information.
