Red Dead Redemption trailer makes us impatient

Red Dead Redemption is making us impatient. It is. We don’t want to wait another two months for it. Lucky, then, that we have a new trailer.
It’s after the break.
The video, “Gentlemen & Vegabonds,” shows some gentlemen and vagabonds.
Needless to say, this can’t, and won’t, be shit.
The western was due to release next month, but will now hit on May 18 in the US and May 21 in the UK for PS3 and 360. Go give it a watch.

One of them’s being sent to die. And I have a bad feeling, as much as it pains me to say this, it’s either this or Split/Second.
Can’t be Alan Wake or Lost Planet 2 anyways.

Well, Split/Second is a racer so the comparison’s a bit suspect, and Wake, LP2 and RDR are quite distinct properties even at the box-cover level. They may crowd each other out in the week of release, but I’d expect each game to have a long tail.

It’ll be Red Dead Redemption for me that week. Easily. Sorry, Alan.

i’ll probably leave lost planet 2 and pick up the rest. Alan Wake looks too good to ignore.

I don’t think this is going to die. It’s a busy week for sure but most people I know – “gamers” but not the kind who read Kotaku or VG247 all day – are most excited about the “Rockstar GTA game with cowboys in it”. I think this is going to do just fine.
I personally think, and this isn’t a fanboy remark, that Alan Wake’s the game that might have trouble sandwiched between said games. If Split/Second gets a good demo it’ll be fine, and Lost Planet 2′s already an established franchise.
Just my $0.02 anyway.

At least one of them will slip before then anyway.
