Some Red Dead Revolver pics and QuickTime Trailer
Very westerny. Since I haven't been followin' this one, don't know why I imagined it more like Trigun or Wild Arms: fantastic, sci-fi western. But it seems I was wrong, and it interests me...
But what I wanted to discuss, actually, being RDR just an excuse, is about western games. There aren't that many, are there? And, as of late, I've been wanting to play a VG that really "felt" like playing a western movie to me, but it seems I'm too picky here (as usual) because all the ones I've tried or known about so far "missed" this or that... So, which western games do you know? And the second question, quite harder, and definitely too subjective, do they "feel" like it?
Mines are:
- Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist: Perhaps the closest thing to a "western" I've ever played (final chapter, specially) and definitely one of the best games I've ever played. It's really, really well done, but its general humorous tone, while very good too, makes it lose the "appropriate" -huh- atmosphere.
- Live a Live: Its western chapter was the one that started to make me want to play a western story in a VG, specially an adventure or a Jap-RPG. It started very good, very promising... and then it got better... and then it was over  . Too short, and ended up missing a lot of things that I had already started figuring out how'd they be/look/whatever. A disappointment, but still, its music, its atmosphere (at the beginning, mainly)... It was too good to be true. -sigh-
- Sunset Riders: Nah.... tried it a couple of times... a beat'em up in a western disguise, only had the action. Although I admit it's been quite a long time since then, so, who knows, maybe I don't remember it well enough. But, naw...
- Wild Arms 3: Don't know about 1 and 2, nor have I played any of 'em, but the atmosphere seemed quite appropriate from what I saw/read, even if it's fantastic/sci-fi western. Although I seem to recall they said it had some playability problems or something... Dunno, but I'd like it to look more realistic, like the beginning of the western chapter of LaL... Aaah, traumas...
So, what about you?

They removed the cool interface and replaced it for a simplistic one that looks like gta. I really dont like it but I will assume they went for the simpler one to allow more visibility on the screen. The concept of the game seems to be the same (shooting in different body parts, etc) so we'll see.
I HOPE THEY DIDNT REMOVE THE MORRICONE MUSIC.
Sunset Riders was more of a shooter than a beat em up. That was probably one of the best western themed games I played. Cormano rocks.

Man, you sure love Al Lowe's games as much as me. I bought Freddy Pharkas and most of the Leisure Suit Larry games, those were good times for PC gamers!
I love Sunset Riders, when it appeared for the firt time, it was a blast! Such a beautiful animated intro, the music, the characters and the gameplay... Cormano is really cool, but I always played the game with a friend, so he played as Cormano and I played as Bob, who has Cormano's same shooting style, but he wears green clothes, which is a color I like.
Have you played the Spanish game "Los Justicieros"? Man, I also bought that for PC! I played the demo and I thought it was great. At least, I laughed to death with the poor voices and performances in the cinematic secuences. By the way, I can't beat the game. In the last scene of the game, you face a duel with the Zorton Brothers, and you only have 2 bullets. I tried a lot, but I couldn't get the exact timing and spot you had to click to defeat them.

And how it was, the concept of the game? Since I didn't pay attention back then... Was it supposed to be only a shooter or did it have "more things"?

Dunno, but the music in the trailer sounds like they didn't, doesn't it? :)

Oh, well, shooter, beat'em up... what's the difference? 
No, well, I just meant to say it was just an action game, and I wasn't searching only for the action part of westerns.

Dammit, I never got to play through Freddy Pharkas -- it's one among several Sierra adventure games I never picked up. But I at least have a demo of it that includes voices -- if anyone's interested, if it's not too large, I could find it, zip it up and upload it. (Sensenic -- which version did you play?)
I played the disquette version that came (paradoxically) in magazine's CD (Computer Gaming World), so I've never heard the voices. Nor have I played it in its original version, come to think of it, too bad. But it rocks anyway, try to play it at full if you can. I mean, so many things you can do, so so many things you can examine/interact/talk to, almost any object on screen... and it never has the usual "That doesn't work" message, but a different comment for almost any action too  Aaah, those were good games....
And the book of medicine! I just remembered, one of the most fun readings ever.

Sure thing I do, although I got late to the vg world (why, I always get late!) so I had to get the games from wherever I could, for example magazines, as it was the case. Still haven't managed to get Larry VI to work
And, BTW, FPFP was more Josh Mandel's than Lowe's, though. BTW again, I've got the main song, The Ballad of Freddy Pharkas sung by Al. You've got to hear it, it's (or at least it was) in The Sierra Archives, official (Ken Williams's in there) and free. I can give you the exact URL when I can get it if you want.

Wild Guns was a good cyberpunk western (really) game for SNES. I wish Natsume continued doing games as great as in the 16 bit era...
American Laser Games liked making cheesy westerns, like Mad Dog McCree and that funny quickdraw game whose name eludes me right now.

Ah, how could I forget those...
Wild Guns, I recalled it but couldn't remember its name for the life of me. A friend used to play it in an arcade near high school.
MadDogMcCree! The first time I saw it in an arcade it was like when I first saw Mortal Kombat (BTW, it was in the same arcade, I think. Funny.), I went all "OMG! It's real!". Ignorance is happiness, I tell ya.
And then there was, I just remembered it, Lethal Enforcers for the MegaDrive (sorry, Genesis ^_^), which was the same style as MDMC...
And Los Justicieros! OMFG!! Best game ever! I used to play the demo, and a friend lended it to me for a while. The sheriff, the undertaker, the indian (el feo Calatrava!)... Some unforgettable extracts from it:
"Pero tú, ¿dónde aprender tú a tirar? vas a tener que mejorar mucho puntería. ¡MUUUUUcho!"
"Quien da pan a perro ajeno, pierde pan y pierdes... ¡PUM!"
"¡BALAS!"
"¡MAAAAPAAA!"
Boy, all these classics coming up, -snif-
Oboromaru. Yup seems they're all "one-eyed" masked guys now. Just coincidence.

Man, you're right! About the song, I think I've listened to it but I'm not sure. So yeah, post that url please!

Veo que captaste el espiritu del juego igual que yo XD Te juro que tuve una temporada en la que un amigo y yo contestabamos a cualquier cosa con alguna de esas frases! Sobre todo con Balas! Maaaapa! Escopeeeeta! Riiiiiifle!, frases del Sheriff (que era impagable el tio), y cuando te pasabas los mini juegos Yyyyyyyyyyyyyes!!! clap clap clap...
"Sientese señor, enseguida le atendemos", pero que cojones, el barbero no mueve la boca, no esta hablando! Pusieron montones de voces por encima que quedaban de pena! Es lo mas grande que hay...
EDIT: Mi comentario habia quedado dentro de uno de los tuyos, Sensenic ^^U
