And wasn't it the first of their trailers where they had a narrator talking about the game's features? I don't recall them doing it before that.

It totally is, sadly. The characters look like Dutch's old gang
This is indeed kinda annoying. I guess you will be able to turn on passive mode (i honestly dont even remember if that was in the first RDR) like in GTA, but then you wont be able to shoot which kinda sucks.
I'm sure the devs will find a way to fix this. Shouldn't be that hard.
What! I really want this! Baha, I'm really excited about this prospect!

You guys are crazy if you think this is releasing with Scorpio in Fall 2017, maybe Fall 18 for a double dip, but no way in hell they are going to spend resources on a new machine... A la PS4 GTAV A year later... PC wI think Scorpio Fall 18, to maximize sales...

Yessss!!! We've been waiting so long!! 
If Microsoft could get exclusive marketing rights, good lord it would do wonders for advertising the Scorpio...
But judging from Playstation's twitter banner, I doubt this!

I don't care about this series but no pc version is silly.
Aren't all games releasing after November or whatever forced to support PS4 Pro as a mandatory requirement? Or was that bogus?
Edit: realized you didn't even mention PS4 Pro :lol

If you played GTAV than in sure you know what to expect. I really doubt they've managed to push the console hardware much beyond that.
It's just different presets. PS4 games will still work on the Pro. It just might not look any better than the standard PS4 RD game.

It appears that Sony already got them. Not surprising honestly.
Why not?
Yeah, oooo if I was Sony I'd jump on it super quick! Much like that GTA V HD reveal trailer.
RDR was set primarily at the end of the Wild West with World War 1 on the loom by the time [RDR SPOILERS]
you play as Jack
So a sequel would pretty much not be a Western seeing as anything set after RDR would be at the end of the Wild West. A prequel makes the most sense.
Red Dead Revolver wasn't a hugely successful and popular game frequently cited as one of the best games of all time. Red Dead Redemption was. Red Dead Redemption was effectively the start of a new franchise, though at the time none of us knew it. Now that's clear.
I'm finally catching up on all the hype, and I'll buy that. This actually makes a prequel sound really interesting given Rockstar's depiction of the wild frontier in RDRedemption. All in all, at this particular moment I'm wondering what lessons they've learned about having multiple protagonists. Can't wait for Thursday!

That's not how Scorpio works. There'll be no "second version". Rockstar will be building one version that will work across Xbox One and Scorpio. Same as PS4/Pro.

Speaking for myself (though I assume many people share this opinion)...we know how that story ends. I love Marston as much as the next guy, but there are so many other cool stories you could tell in an old west setting that don't have to revolve around Marston and company. Going back to that well feels like squandered potential and the safest, most boring direction the series could go (especially considering how different and often risky every GTA game has been).

I hope rockstar release videos on the features in the game like they did for RDR1, they were really good.
Glam good call on the title! So hyped, it's like old Rockstar times getting ready for a new release. Some good memories in those GTA hype threads baha!

I too do not want a prequel. I don't want any relation to any characters from the first game. Ideally the game will be set at a time decades before the events of the first game and thus be a completely separate story with basically no returning characters. Maybe the odd reference here and there but that's it.
We know how most of the gang's story ends, but going off of that one image floating around we have two unknowns with stories of their own.
Scorpio isn't a new generation. It is just an advanced Xbox One. So in essence Scorpio will be the High/Ultra settings of the Xbox One/PS4 base version. Would be sheer stupidity for Rockstar to avoid a new console launch in the era of front loaded sales and word of mouth.
Think about it. If you're getting a Scorpio for Christmas or at launch and can only afford one game, you would pick RDR2 over pretty much anything else. If they have a PS4/Xbox One and PS4 Pro version being developed, expect a Scorpio one as well.
I don't think Scorpio games will be separate purchases. It will literally just render the same XBOX ONE game at 4x the resolution
If there's no word of a remaster with the trailer on Thursday I think we can close the books on it forever. It'll never happen if not now as some kind of pack-in with RDR2.

If Marston is in this one I hope they get the original voice actor. I heard he kinda dropped off the map after the first game.
Ok but how many of them bought it thinking it was a new IP and not a sequel to revolver? I'm willing to bet the vast majority.
That's what they don't want to risk calling it something other than Redemption 2. When your game sells 20+ million you don't want people to think the sequel is a new IP like they did with Redemption 1 because then you potentially lose a good chunk of the 20M user base you just sold Redemption 1 to.

Again, there is no separate version.
RDR2 will be developed to take advantage of Pro and Scorpio and most likely downscale for OG PS4/Xbox One.
Yep. It would be cool if the so called blackwater massacre was in this game.

I wont lie. If the regular PS4 version is 30fps and the Pro version is 60fps....I'll probably bite and get a Pro. For one game. How likely is this scenario?

They are going to be taking advantage of Scorpio huh?

But they'll inevitably still be tied into all the baggage and machinations that lead up to the beginning of Redemption 1 (and based on where Redemption 1 sits, they probably can't have been all that interesting, important or alive or John would have mentioned them/been tasked to kill them). The ur-story is in place. The ur-story has an ending already. For me, those potential deviations and unknown offshoots aren't enough to make up for the majority of the cast having their fates set in stone.

Hopefully they do, but with "marketing rights" in the way, I can see a case of Sony forcing companies to not go too far with Scorpio looking/performing better.
Not very likely. Much more likely to get 4K30fps. That said, it certainly would be a huge boost to either PS4P or Scorpio sales.
Apparently the arrangement of the platforms at the bottom, but this has already been proved to not be useful, as other games have had the version they weren't being marketed on first in the order.

Can we add "the fan that this will be written by Rockstar Games" to the poll?
