So it's finally been announced.... And it's a RDR2, rather than a Red Dead 3.
Title: Red Dead Redemption 2
Release Window: Fall 2017
Trailer #1: October 20th 2016
"Red Dead Redemption 2 will release worldwide in Fall 2017 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems.
An epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland, the game's vast and atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.
Watch the Red Dead Redemption 2 Trailer at 11AM Eastern on Thursday, October 20th at rockstargames.com, as well at the official Rockstar Games YouTube and Twitch pages."
Discuss, theorise, speculate. Talk bout the damn game!
Here's my first bit of speculation.
Looking at the first teaser, we see there is gang of seven, probably referring to The Magnificent Seven. It's also fair to say, it's probably Dutch's gang which we learn about in the original RDR.
So looking at the silhouettes we can see some of them stand out. Here's who i think they are. (I changed my mind, i also think the left is Marston after a second look).
Left, looks like Marston. Not much younger, so this may not be that far in the past.
The guy just left of the middle looks distinctively like Dutch van der Linde. I could be wrong but the nose, moustache and chin look pretty accurate. Dutch Linde was one of the main antagonists in RDR, this may show us some kind of betrayal between him and Marston.
Right of the middle is without a doubt William "Bill" Williamson, who is also an enemy of Marston in RDR. More room for betrayal in RDR2.
Anyone else looking at these guys and think they look like an important person. Wanted, dead or alive?
And finally, we have a trailer on Thursday, so hopefully we'll get loads of juicey details to scrub through in the footage.
