If it has anything to do with Read Dead Redemption & PC I'll be walking awkwardly for days if not weeks.

Please Lawd let it be a New Red Dead Game

Obviously Red Dead. If you own the game look at the case and shade of red then look at that.

I love Rockstar, they don't need a big event and stage to announce some game. All they have to do is throw up a damn color shade on their site and the internet loses their shit.

Rockstar proves trade shows and conventions are a huge waste of money and should go the way of the dodo. Games that are going to sell well are going to sell well based off TV ads, word of mouth and internet ads. Games that aren't going to sell well never magically do so because they where up on some stage. Publishers and console manufacturers should literally stop wasting millions on worthless fluff like trade shows and put that money back into their employees.

I hope they do it like bethesda did with fallout 4 and the game releases in like 6 months

At best be hopeful that it launches in a year, GTAV was announced almost a full 2 years before it came out. Max Payne 3 1.5 years, Red Dead Redemption 2 years and GTAIV 2 years. Development cycles ain't getting any faster, especially for a studio that puts as much polish into games as Rockstar(literally the exact opposite on Bethesda games which lack any polish whatsoever).

Wasn't the "cowboy" era dying in RDR ? Would be weird to see it still a decade or two later -- ofc, this is assuming it's following the same story.

Most likely the same era but with a host of different characters and story completely unrelated to RDR.

Who confirmed it as a chronological sequel?

In fact, the game will probably be 100% unrelated to the plot of RDR at all.

[lexonio]

It's going to be a prequel for sure.

Was answering in relation to the OP saying "so what could it be, Read Dead Redemption 2?"

And? GTA? FF? DQ? since when does a numeric sequel mean it has to be a chronological story or related in any way?

You could add in a demo. I can't count the number of games that I've bought because I could download a demo and play some of the game.

Because it's the "Red Dead" series...? The first called "Red Dead" Revolver ? "Red Dead" Redemption 2 would imply a continuation of the Redemption story arc...

Except for the part where Revolver and Redemption share nothing in common but name and being western. Revolver wasn't even made by rockstar ffs it was just some crap picked up on the cheap for them to publish.

This is besides the point, game could be called RDR2, game could be called Red Dead ____. It doesn't matter, you're trying to nit pick someone's post and you're getting salty that you got called on it.

You're the nit picking jackass as far as I'm concerned when you started to argue over something so petty asking for a "confirmation" when I was just speculating...

[Al Gorefiend]

Whatever it is, I sure hope it isn't a violent game filled with guns, crime, hookers and drugs. It just wouldn't be a Rockstar game if it was over-the-top adult material!

Hope it's a slow, relaxing puzzler.

[Daedius]

Hope it's a slow, relaxing puzzler.

Nothing more relaxing than a few games of Five Finger Fillet.

[Blueobelisk]

Omg omg omg Red Dead omg.

Sign me up for the hype train.

Well... If it's a new Red Dead Redemption, then hopefully it'll have a PC version this time. If not, who cares. Well, other than the console people.

Those of us smart enough to have console and pc to not miss anygames.
