Red Dead Redemption 2 Confirmed for Fall 2017, Trailer Coming Thursday

I read that too fast and thought it said "it will come out this Thursday."

No PC?

Bye!

 

[Aurelius]

So excited for this! Here's hoping people don't destroy multiplayer like they did the last Red Dead... That was truly a sad day!

Not announced right now but GTA did well on PC and with RDR not making to PC I think it will come at some point this time around.

I think the multiplayer in RDR was merely a test/prototype for GTA Online and now they have found a formula that works with GTA Online it will be an updated version of that which comes to RDR2. With more variation and new modes it hopefully shouldn't go same route as RDR multiplayer.

These bloody people never learn do they?

Usually I'd say it wouldn't be the same thing because the people making said hypothetical game are the makers of said series and not someone just appropriating the thing. The problem is that that tweet doesn't come from a place of 'An all girl gang of outlaws game sounds awesome!' which it does, it comes from the same old 'why aren't there women in my games being the bad asses, that' sexist' and ain't no one got time for that nonsense.

Awesome, so will this game follow Jack Marston? Or will it be a prequel about a younger John Marston? Or will they do the same thing as GTA and have a new main protagonist?
Either way, as good as it looks, so long it's as fun, and well written as the first game, it's a must for me.

Most seem to believe it could be a prequel based on the original gang but theres a chance it could be sequel with new characters. I doubt they would follow Jack again as people would always prefer John (judging by uproar about Jacks character after ending). John was a character people liked and want to see more of and only way to do that would be a prequel. I for one would love to play out his back story, only issue is that you would technically know how it ends & you would lose something from that hanging over you.

 

[Innsmouth]

honestly I would prefer new characters.

 

[Dark Drakan]

honestly I would prefer new characters.

I could see it working both ways, however based on certain characters people 'may' have spotted in the trailer (though could be red herrings) its looking like prequel based on some old characters at this moment in time. Though not much to go off just yet so could be totally wrong...

 

[LordOfDarkness]

I personally wouldn't mind either way. But I do like to keep to the characters I like, so John Marston would be nice.

Yeah but

Spoiler

Jack Swift and Shadow Wolf are both dead. And they havent met before revolver, so I don't think its them.

 

[ItWasAnEggTimer]

I don't think a sequel would work, given the concept of "woohoo cowboys" was already dying out at the time of the first game.

It's probably a prequel.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Delayed to Spring 2018

I always thought it was ambitious to be releasing in 2017 so it's no surprise to me, might actually have time to finish other games by time it releases now.
