Trailer: Red Dead Redemption

For a small insight into the amount of research that goes into videogame development look no further than this latest Red Dead Redemption trailer.

Presented like a documentary on the weapons of the Wild West, but using footage from the in-game engine throughout, this is one way of showing off your research team and your upcoming game at the same time.

While you’re listening to the commentator explain how proper implementation of the cowboy’s favourite weapons of choice was accomplished, make sure to feast your eyes on the suitably rugged visuals which are certainly beginning to look the part.

Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption is slated for a 30 April release for Xbox 360 and PS3; expect more details and a review of the game closer to then.
