    I'd really like to see more open world wild west games. Sure, we have Red Dead, but some other takes on the genre would be interesting. A Far Cry survey once listed a wild west scenario as a potential future setting. Assassin's Creed could also give it a shot, I've always liked the idea of an Assassin with a cowboy hat.
    and not every third-person western would play just like Red Dead. GTA has competition from Saints Row, Sleeping Dogs, Mafia, Watch_Dogs, surely open world westerns could find some differentiation as well.
    Red Dead 3 when

      Editing … I'm honestly surprised they aren't more prevalent myself. Although I'd personally blame the rise of the Post-apocalyptic "genre" of games. They often offer the same level of lawlessness and resource management that Westerns provide. Small scattered settlements, lack of advamced technology, that sort of thing. And post apocalyptic allows for monsters and zombies, thereby bypassing all the moralistic "videogames let you kill people" bullshit that hampers developers.

      Editing … As far as I know, it's been a long time since a western film has taken the world by storm. That's why the creators of Red Dead Redemption were told that no one would buy their game. They were wrong though, so you never know.

      Editing … I played RDR for like 30 minutes and it was mostly cutscenes and I didn't like the horseback riding controls. Maybe if I kept playing I would've gotten used to them but I unno.

      Editing … The thing I didn't like about the horseback riding was that I kept having to look at my mini-map to make sure I'm going the right way when I should have my eyes on the environment. Big arrows like in Sleeping Dogs probably would have felt out of place in that game though.
