I wish everyone put this much time into making new threads...
Anyway, this game does look very cool. I'll probably end up borrowing it from someone because I'm a cheap bastard. (I pretty much just wanted to tell you how good all your threads are, bye).
There are approximately 40 different animals that can be encountered in Red Dead Redemption, and any of the listed animals can be hunted. Different animals supply the player with different pelts, claws, meat and other resources with different values, which can be sold. Beware, killing some animals may not please their owners, or the townsfolk for that matter. One can assume that killing someone's horse probably won't be any better than stealing it, and may hold the same results.
Wild Horse herds will be abundant in The Frontier.
At this time, the known animals are:
Armadillos
Alligators
Bats - Bat Wings
Beavers - Beaver Meat, Beaver Fur
Bighorn Sheep - Bighorn Meat, Bighorn Horns, Bighorn Skin
Bison
Birds
Boars
Bulls
Chickens
Cougars
Coyotes
Cats
Cattle
Deer
Dogs
Donkeys
Ducks
Elk
Goats
Grizzly Bears - Bear Furs, Bear Claws, Bear Meat, Bear Teeth
Horses
Moose
Mules
Pigs
Rabbits - Rabbit's Foot
Rattlesnakes
Skunks
Vultures
Wolves
That would be Red Dead: Revolver (you could've read the first post).
Also, wouldn't every game in which you shoot guns be just another shooter then?
