I really can't wait for this game. I loved GTAIV and it looks like a Western GTA. Can you horsejack and seduce sexy dames?

I can't watch the gameplay footage because I'm at work on the worst computer ever, but could someone clear something up for me? My biggest fear about this game is that, in addition to using GTA IV's engine, they're going to use GTA IV's controls. I can't think of any third person game that controls worse. The 'hold a button to jog, mash it to run' system is bad enough, not to mention the 'three different buttons for shooting on foot or in a car or in a helicopter' idea, but the gunplay is even worse. Instead of holding one trigger to pop out of cover and one to fire, like every game made by sane people, you hold one button to magically lock on from behind cover, and then press one to step out of cover, take aim and fire. You pull the trigger and a couple of seconds later your character shoots. I hate it so very much.
I'm really looking forward to this, because a Western game with some good production values is a dream come true for me, but if it controls like GTA IV it can go straight to Hell.

I agree that the GTA style controls could use an upgrade but they didn't bother me quite that much matrix-cat. 
This is one of my most anticipated games of 2010 behind Mass Effect 2 and SC:Conviction. By all accounts it's looking very promising. Let's hope it doesn't get gimped or banned by our classification nazis!

I agree with matrix-cat. I hated the GTA IV shooting controls/mechanics. Went back to try The Lost and the Damned a few weeks ago, ended up turning it off after the first gun fight.
I just hope they manage to make the shooting in this one fun. I love a good western game.

First day buy for me. The four minutes of gameplay footage is amazing.

The awesome thing about horsejacking and I don't know if Denny has mentioned it, because I haven't read his preview yet... is that if some random NPC steals your horse, you can whistle the horse back and it'll buck off the thief and gallop straight back to you.

Yarp I indeed mentioned horse jacking. It's quite awesome in motion with the whistling and such.
Also a heads up, I've updated the media section with the latest screenshots.
