Today Rockstar Games released the long awaited trailer for Red Dead Redemption, the sequel to Red Dead Revolver, which has been making its way over the internet over the holiday. Rockstar games released the official video in HD format for all you fans out there, along with the release date of April 27th, 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PS3 title.

We follow the adventures of a former outlaw, John Marsten as he travels across the American Frontier at the end of an age where the Wild West is quickly fading, and the Industrial Age is being ushered in.  Players are going to enjoy a slew of new characters while traversing this large open-world environment, and really get a feel for the settings and environments surrounding them.

This is one of the most original IP's coming out next year, i think.  An open world gun slinging adventure is like reliving the classic Clint Eastwood movies, in a very Grand Theft Auto way.  The first game was a breath of fresh air, as well as a great storytelling experience.  It was built completely around Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (Rage) which we saw in Grand Theft Auto IV. 

Although, I'm not a big fan of the graphics in the trailer, we still have a couple of months for them to clean it up, so hopefully we will see an improvement there.  I'm hoping that just like GTAIV we will get some cool DLC's with this new title.
