Here's the latest trailer for the game and it looks like John Marston will be back in some capacity.
Game looks really good and in my opinion this will be the game of the year.
Being released October 26, 2018.

To be honest, the first two trailers didn’t really do anything for me, but this one blew my mind! Seems like the main protagonist wants out a little into the game. My bet is him and Marston try to do it together. Main guy dies, Marston barely survives. Great lead up to what was RDR1. Or that Marston wants out after this guy is killed by his own gang.
So awesome! Looks like Rockstar has out some work into the graphics too for a change

I'm going to have to finish my play-through of the first one now. Picked it up a few months ago but haven't popped it back in since February.
This is going to be a good one. The graphics look way better and player animation seems to be a lot smoother this time around.

Considering Red Dead Redemption came out on the PS3 back in 2010 it's no surprise this one looks even better.
This one is a prequel to Red Dead Redemption so technically you don't have to finish the playthrough but I recommend it. RDR2 takes places in 1899 while the first one takes place in 1911.

I'm not entirely sure what the story will be about but I've read that Marston is left for dead. How that happens I have no clue but I'm happy that he'll be back in some capacity because I really enjoyed playing the story/his role in RDR.
In RDR he turns over a new leaf and is a good guy but in RDR2 is part of Dutch's gang.
There's still a lot of time left before it's released but that's why I like Rockstar. They're not afraid to delay a game in order to improve it and that always pays off. I believe they pushed the release date twice now but as you saw by the trailer, worth it.
RDR was probably my favorite game of all times but I have a feeling this will take over.

The detail on the fur coat and revolver on the opening scene were astonishing!
I'm also a train whore so naturally I'm excited for the new game

Rockstar makes some great games. How does RDR play, sort of like GTA or not so much?

I haven't played a GTA since San Andreas so can't say but, you need to play RDR!

Same functions basically. 3rd person view. Kill anyone, steel anything. Had a buddy id join and he would always be at the saloon getting drunk playing poker. He would also be in his apartment getting drunk and high in gta 5. Seemed like a waste of time to me but whatever. I didnt finish the story on RDR because online was too fun.

Here's a pretty good but lengthy write up from IGN after playing the game for a bit. Seems like there will be a lot to do that will keep you busy throughout the story.

I'll try and keep it current as things come out or as I come across them. Like you, I'm excited for this game and can't wait for it to come out.
I actually prefer this over the GTA series. I love an in-depth story mode/career and the first one delivered that and I'm sure this one will be the same if not even better.

Searched around a little and found some more screenshots.
Going to apologize in advance because it's a long one.

Been out of the gaming world for a moment, but loved that game. Those screen shots make me want to get back into it.

E3 will be packed with good stuff this year. I always try and catch the press conferences. Well the one's I'm interested in anyways. Should be a good one.
I already know most of my time this fall will be spent playing RDR2 and Battlefield V.

Really looking forward to RDR2. I feel like the last two story driven games I truly enjoyed were GTA 5 and The Last of Us, both of which were released in 2013. I plan on spending many evenings playing the game assuming it's as good as we all expect.
Hopefully some other games at E3 catch my eye, but I'm not counting on it outside of maybe Battlefield 5.

Check out Detroit: Become Human. There's a demo out now on PS4 but haven't had the chance to play it yet. Developed by Quantic Dreams. The same guys that did Heavy Rain. Really enjoyed that one. Very different than any other games. If I had to compare it to any other game I'd say L.A. Noire. That's another one I liked.
Detroit: Become Human is a PS4 exclusive.

Detroit: Become Human is the same concept. You'll have some difficult decisions to make. Every choice you make will affect how the story plays out.
Just like Heavy Rain there's going to be multiple story endings.
Really need to bring back the gaming sub-forum in this place because it looks like there's plenty of us on here that game.
GD2 any way you can make that happen? E3 is in June so would be great to have it by then as I'm sure great games will be announced. Don't want to litter non-moto with a bunch of different games.

I thought about checking out Detroit: Become Human. Guess I'll take a look at the demo.
I'll mention bringing back the gaming sub-forum, but it was fairly active when it was done away with the first time. So I wouldn't count on it coming back.

had time to read it this morning, good article but kinda fluff entertainment value stuff. either way, the game is going to be a huge leap ahead of RDR and GTA5, can't wait.
RDR was the only game i've ever played that i could just wander and enjoy the game more than playing the story
