Can't fucking wait man, AHHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
This is going to be so fucking good man, or at least I hope so.
Hopefully they didn't need the Benz to fight the Darkness!

You do realize Redemption wasn't the first in the series, right? There was also Revolution. Thus the "RDR".
edit: revolver rather. Not revolution.

This is what I would like. A real frontier styled game involving Native Americans and exploring their culture and the real Wilderness out West but have it in an area there are some town you could get to as well.
Its one thing that worries me about this potentially being set in the Deep South. Its probably not going to be that type of experience.

Touche. haha My point still stands though.
If this surely is an prequel, I hope we play as an cowboy/indian/white just like how they perfected GTAV's multiple protagonist system. Surely do hope John has an cameo in the story too. Like him popping up in a mission asking for help or just having a good ol' gang fight with other outlaws.

Could be cool. I still prefer one protagonist, though.
I kinda envisioned doing that too, but that world is huge and there are too many games on next gen right now. Dont have the time

I'm the opposite, I'd have a hard time going back to having only one protagonist to play as in a Rockstar game. I thought it was amazingly well done and would even find myself playing differently depending on who I was due to their different personalities.

whatever it is that they've been working on for 6 years now (wtf?!), it's bound to be mind-shatteringly amazing.
for some reason i've never believed there'd be another Red Dead, i've been thinking the studio is making something totally different. i hope this is legit and that i'm wrong!

I just don't like when right when I start getting sucked into one protagonist's story, I get ripped away to another protagonist. I like sticking with one protagonist, personally. I'm sure it will be amazing either way though.
That distinct period of the rough and tumble "lawless west" was dead at that point, hell that was a big part of Red Dead.

I am willing to buy the Super Deluxe Limited Edition right now. Literally right now. I don't need a trailer, or art or even a synopsis. Just give me a release date and take my money.
RDR is a system seller.

Red Dead doesn't really see an end to the West though it's a major theme in the game, but by the close of that game you're in the early-to-mid 1910s, probably around 1913 or 1914 (going by the historical marker of the Mexican revolution), which was really the end of the "wild west." In real history, the oil boom, the invention of the automobile, the spread of wealth in the US, New Mexico and Arizona being admitted as states, and the onset of World War 1 brought an end to the period of the 'wild' American west.
RDR dealt with the "end of the wild west," and so if they want to stick with the same wild west theme, it's good to go back in time.
I was hoping that they'd explore the northern migration that went along the cattle route, and the growth of organized crime that started out of Chicago as the cattle center of the world. But just as happy for them to go back in time.

As long as they have the posse option in free roam I am sold. RDR had the best free roam multiplayer expierence ever. The Map looks amazing though
I wonder if we would get the game this year, they prob dont want to put Mafia III and a new RDR too close to each other
Take that PS4 money and make the new RDR a Vita exclusive Adam Boyes!!

Where does guys that called Mideron a liar. HA.
Anyways, you know.....I don't like prequels. Why not just play Marstons son or w/e.

Because I think the games industry is healthier when all 3 platform holders are successful, and Nintendo need to garner third-party support to achieve this.
Getting Rockstar on board would be a major, MAJOR step for them.

Because then it wouldn't be a western anymore. There are so many more western themes and settings that could be had if the game went back further to the peak of the wild west.
Not convinced by the prequel idea if it's still around Marston's story, or his gang's. They need to be just a small cameo. Even if you have 3 heroes, you can't have one of them being in Marston's gang or whatever.
If this is the full map, well it's not that big compared to RDR. Even with the small Mexican portion (the prologue?). Twice or less than twice that big.
Like we discussed with someone the leak thread, something talking about the civil war and slavery (à la Django Unchained) would have been the perfect setting.
If it's a different universe (with no Marston etc.) then it's not a prequel at all.

It'd be a Western just a more contemporary Western.

Maybe it just means a prequel in the sense that it just takes place earlier in the same universe. It doesn't have to involve Marston.

He thinks if you go back in time (from 1911 to 1900, 1890, 1880 etc.) then it's "always going" to be a prequel. It's only a prequel if it's the same universe. And the same universe means that it is a prequel where John Marston was born, live and died, along with his gang, all his friends. But if you get rid of him and everything that was set in RDR (2010), including locations, but set the game before 1911, then it's not a prequel, it's just another game of another universe set before 1911. So no, it's not always going to be a prequel. Words have a meaning.

It can be a prequel, in the same universe, without Marston being in it or being the main character. As I just mention, the game could revolve around, say, Ricketts, and the game would still be a prequel.

uhhh, yeah, exactly. Red Dead Redemption was already that. It'd be a waste to delve right back into the same pool of themes and settings and conflicts for the next game, especially when there's nobody out there putting out other western games like this.
:'D
I read an article about Native American tribes keeping African American slaves in the deep south USA. Some tribes followed tradition and incorporated the slaves into the tribe as family while others were assimilated by Europeans and practiced segregation and considered Africans as a slave race. The traditional tribe went around freeing all slaves, bolstering their numbers and the U.S. grew scared. There was a lot of tension between the different tribes as well as with the Europeans. It seems like a very interesting setting for a Red Dead since we're losing Mexico. Instead of the two countries being USA and Mexico, they can be USA and a Native American Nation.
That's what I wanted. Hateful 8/Revenant setting in the prairies/Midwest.

Hopefully Marston and his gang are not involved at all or a brief cameo at most.
I liked Read Dead Redemption much more than any GTA game.
