Rockstar Games Upcoming Adventure Red Dead Redemption

The Grand Theft Auto developer team reported that John Hillcoat, director of flicks like The Road and The Proposition assisted Rockstar Games in creating a 30-minute animated film based on the development studio's upcoming open-world action adventure, Red Dead Redemption.

Upcoming open-world western epic, Red Dead Redemption is already to tip to be one of the biggest releases of the year, and developer, Rockstar Games is making damn-well sure that it doesn’t go unnoticed.

The special, simply entitled, Red Dead Redemption, is scheduled to air on FOX on Saturday, May 15 which is the weekend before the games release. There are currently very few details about the project other than it will be animated using entirely in-game assets, which will give us a good chance to see the modified RAGE engine in action.

Red Dead represents a massive challenge, even for a developer at the peak of their game like this San Diego based studio. With Grand Theft Auto, the premise is well established. You know you'll be driving a fast car and engaging in illicit acts with women of the night, and that there's likely to be carnage on a city-wide scale in your immediate gaming future. Red Dead looks to be one of the best titles of the year, and assuming it's packed full of missions.
