Red Dead Redemption Preorder Bonus In Your Hands
Rockstar Games has a Red Dead Redemption pre-order bonus in the works , but the company needs your help. Customers who preorder the game through GameStop will get one of three in-game outfits for character John Marston. Players will get to vote for which of the three will make it into the game through the company's Web site.
“We’re privileged to have fans that are just as passionate about our games as we are," said Alex Moulle-Berteaux, head of marketing for Rockstar Games. "Having fans choose their own pre-order bonus is a unique way to let them be a part of Red Dead Redemption.”
As of right now, we don’t know what those outfits will look like, but Rockstar says that “the outfit will uniquely affect how the surrounding world responds to the game’s protagonist.” Based on that information, we think it’s a safe bet that the choices will include a dress and bonnet, union suit, and a mech with heatseeking missiles and a working flamethrower. Or not.
GameStop is the parent company of Game Informer Magazine.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
