Could this be a tease for a Red Dead on current-gen?

Why would he say really twice. That and the capitalization just seals it. But we already knew it was being made. Hopefully this means it'll be their next big release though

There really is a Simpsons GIF for everything hahaha

It would be odd for a Rockstar employee to refer to the next entry in the Red Dead series as to RDR 2 (you know why).

No I don't
 
Is no one going to comment on the fact it's the third one in the franchise not the second.

Already been commented on. But really it could literally be Red Dead Redemption 2 instead of another Red Dead R___ because Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Revolver could be considered different franchises. They were nothing alike.
 
If RDR 2 is in development, I don't expect it to be released until 2019 or 2020 the earliest.

Still, I sure the hell hope that it gets the Xbox One backwards Compatibility treatment soon.
 
rockstar likes to never keep their franchises in the same universe. GTA 4 & 5 were the first time in a while I feel like that numerical releases were a part of the same universe.

So I want to not only if the red dead series is canon to GTA (since redemption's presentation was so close to GTA's) but if the next game will canon to previous. revolver wasn't canon, I'm pretty sure. "spiritual successor"

Also I hope it takes place before Redemption as that one took place when the wild west was coming to an end.

No one knows the first one, the second one was a big hit.

Franchise is called Red Dead Redemption from now on.

Next one will be 2.

I can picture a teaser trailer now...Camera on ground level, boots step in front of camera and spent bullet casings drop. The Rock* logo then spins making a revolver cylinder sound...crowd goes bananas. That's how I imagine it anyway. :p
 
I'm guessing it's not a remaster. I was pretty sure the reason we never got the game on other systems was because the code was practically impossible to wade through and edit at this point.

Also I don't think a remaster has much to offer. 1080p 60fps sure if it were possible but it's not like GTA where increasing population sliders will make any sense

that said Game Awards is very soonish? Wasn't RDR awarded quite a bit back in 2010? I even remember the best song from the game being played live. That's a good place to announce something.

Yep. Closing trailer for this year's Game Awards.

Danny Ross seems like someone dumb enough to break NDA in such an obvious way. He got fired from Sirius XM for trying to get a porn star into a corporate One Direction show or something

It's entirely possible for this to be RDR2, this wouldn't be new for games to be named like this.

Metal Gear (Solid, Rising) and Final Fantasy (VII Compilation, X-2, XIII) For example have released self contained games in the franchise with their own independent sequels.

Nobody knows or cares about Revolver. As far as the general public is concerned it'll be RDR2.

I'm sold on that hint too. Normally it's people reading too hard into things, but this is super obvious.

Nah there's no way they're making a sequel to like the 9th best selling series based on highest individual entry of all time.

Geoff did tweet that they're will be 10 world premieres this VGX. All I hope it does get announced between VGX and PSX, and now that the 7th core is unlocked within the PS4, we're in for a treat.

They couldn't possibly be making a sequel to a game with a 95 Metacritic that sold 15 million copies. I wanna see the receipts.

.

Pretty much. I figure we'll see this in a year or two when they're about done with it. I can't imagine that they'll have a long, drawn out marketing sequence. Probably first see it 6 months before release?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Obvious answer to obvious question. I think it's pretty clear.

He's making a nod towards something Red Dead related because otherwise that statement makes no fucking sense lol.
