GUN trailer and screenies

GUN was the subject of a great deal of hype and speculation at E3. Activision have only now decided to give us a trailer. And some screenshots, of course. The game is looking good, though the trailer is most definitely NOT for the squeamish.

The western, somewhat bafflingly, is a genre largely ignored in gaming, which is a shame. Tense shootouts in the style of High Noon and other great westerns are a vast untapped resource for gaming. Unfortunately the industry instead obsesses over World War II and the like.

Ah well. Maybe GUN will turn that around, ushering in an era of a market flooded with westerns rather than war sims.
We can only dream.
