Heavy Rain’s weird and different. It’s barely even a videogame by traditional standards. Before the game even launched, armchair analysts forecasted that Heavy Rain would fall all right – and no one would notice.

But one man had faith in Quantic Dream’s wild gamble. And that man was… Jack Tretton.

Times and Eurogamer columnist Rob Fahey tells us why iPad’s impact on core gaming will be a delayed affair.

You can’t have helped but notice that Apple’s iPad, the latest long-awaited Jesus Device from the celebrated Californian company, finally appeared in the USA last week. After one of the most ridiculously over-hyped announcements in the tech industry’s history back in January, the gadget is finally in consumers’ hands, and the debate is raging on all sides as to whether this “oversized iPod Touch” (a phrase that’s either a stern condemnation or a ringing endorsement, depending upon which side of the fence you’re standing) is really going to save the publishing industry, revolutionise personal computing – or any of the other wild dreams of its devotees.

Only one of those wild dreams is of any interest to us, though, and it’s this one – that the iPad is going to be an important platform for videogames.

Whooo doggies! A new Red Dead Redemption video is out, showing the multiplayer aspect of the Western, and proves that you can form your own posse.

Lynching some cattle rustler or horse thief can’t be too far behind, we hope.

You can watch it below the break and check out new screens over on Eurogamer.

The developers have nixed the lobby bit for the multiplayer and have instead implemented a free-roaming mode where players can run freely through the game world.

You and your posse can also do a bit of hunting or horse keeping; play Gold Rush mode; the tradition deathmatch; a Capture the Flag variant and more.

Sure sounds ambitious enough, we reckon.

May 18 and 21 better hurry. We’re itching for the game worse than a unwashed gold prospector from Colorado.
