Red Dead Redemption: hands-on with the final code
Impressions from a four hour playthrough (appeared in the Guardian UK). Apparently British game reviewers have a much more literary writing style than what we're used to in America ("prostitutes languidly promenading the balconies", "this sense of growing displacement adds poignancy to the action").
Good news: R* motion-captured a horse on a treadmill, so the riding animations should be authentic.
Bad news: No mention was made of motion-capturing man or horse in a swimming pool.
