Red Dead Redemption... 2!!!

I've been waiting so long for this. Guess I'll be waiting another year. But between our loss to Miami, work stress, this dumpster fire of an election (not saying any more about that), wars and rumors of war, I'll gladly take some good news.

On Thursday, I'll be over here. Watching the trailer over and over and over...

 

Can't wait!

 

Shut up and take my money!

 

What a TEASE! No info whatsoever on characters or story. Graphics look amazeballs.

But I think it's a prequel. Certain characters on the poster greatly resemble the previous RDR's characters. Specifically John Marston, Bill Williamson and Dutch Van Derline. Couple that with the line "Listen to me. When the time comes, you gotta run and don't look back. This is over." and it appears to maybe be the story of Dutch's gang, how it all went bad, and how or why John was left for dead, leading into RDR. We might not be playing as John, but a new character, but it sure seems like where this is headed.

Time period is close. there's still telegraph and electric. Which for the frontier/west/northern plains suggests not too much earlier than 1890 or thereabouts. Maybe later. Hopefully not after 1906 like the last game.

Or it could be something completely new. Hopefully, we got more and better info soon.

 

Never been a fan of it but best reality TV ever!

 

I only work 50. Usually...

Kids are all grown. Aside from Sundays, I don't watch much TV.

 

Bump.

 

LOL! Literally beat me to the punch by a minute.

Shut up and take my money.

 

GMTA. Take my money first. First game I've been truly excited for in a while.

 

I'm glad it's a prequel. Earlier time setting (not by much, but still). And we get Dutch Van der Linde back! I always got a kick out of his voice and delivery. Has a Powers Boothe feel to it.

Likely we'll see John Marston again too. But he won't be the focus of the story.

 

So the voice in the first teaser is the same as the main character in this trailer. His line: "Listen to me boy. When the time comes, you gotta run and don't look back. This is over."

99.9% sure he's talking to Marston there.

So this will probaby give us the story of the Van der Linde gang in their glory - the time John Marston still feels nostalgic for... and the eventual downward spiral that led to their break up. And John's getting out.

 

Shut. Up. And. Take. My. Money!



A good look at John Marston in there too (and possibly the origin of his scars. I always assumed bear attack)

 

Can't. Wait.

 

I'd say shut up and take my money, but i already bought it. October can't get here fast enough.

 

Late to this party.

I've never played the original but man does this game look good!

Might have to finally upgrade from my PS3.

 

Yes. But first, play the original. You can get it for a song nowadays. To this day, it's my favorite game ever. Then upgrade your Playstation. When you do, let me know. I'll send a friend request your way.

 

It's 65 days and counting now. When I took this screenshot, it felt like forever. Starting to feel real now.
