Also, I'm not too sure the player is all bad. It looks a little like you're going to be on a revenge mission, to get back money that was stolen from you. ("Where's our money?")
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Interesting idea semmern. I didn't hear anyone who sounded like John Marston so I'll have to re-watch the trailer. I sure hope they don't bugger that up somehow if he does show up as that voice actor made John Marston. I think the guy who voice acted John Marston is just a regular guy who happened to be in the right place at the right time to do that part with a truly unique voice that fit the project and setting. I think I saw a video that seems to show that he's not really a career actor/voice actor and perhaps is not interested in pursuing that. I think he runs an insulation company in a small town with his wife and child. I hope they can get him again if his character does show up in RDR2.
When he rode with Dutch all of those guys were bad guys and did bad things. Marston was more repentive and principled in his later years but he was able to, very easily, slide back into gunfighter mode and carry out violence. Like in RDR I suspect even if you are a part of the gang during that period we'll be mostly fighting other bad men such as other gangs and outlaws, corrupt officials and bounty hunting. Though I desire to play as John Marston again only this time as a younger man in a prequel, I like the look of what looks like what may be the main character. He has the look of a stocky, working cowboy/farm kid with those skills and given the image similar to that of the old school Marlboro Man. I like his dress style too. I also hope there is a little deeper rpg aspect when it comes to loot and different means of earning money with plenty of weapons and gear this time to build your own kit. I hope they have a much larger weapon selection this time as well as outfits and character customization.

I'd be fine with an all new story and character as long as it's good. As for the voice, it's hard to tell much by that. Sometimes they have a stand in voice, even a developer doing it temporarily, before the "real" actor comes in to do the voice work actually used in the game.

Well Red Dead Redemption 2 is one month out. Hard to believe. I don't think I've been this excited about a game in a very long time. Is anyone else following all the released info. Do you have any good sites or youtube channels you'd suggest that are even handed and not obnoxious? I've been watching some videos by a Youtuber called "LegacykillaHD" and he seems to go into depth about the released information. As a gamer and RDR fan I'm excited about and thankful for all the amazing detail making its way into RDR2. Too many things to list but one of the newer things I saw that indeed they are making weapon modeling very detailed including weapon maintenance. Apparently they can get rusty when wet, muddy and I'm assuming they can jam on you in combat which adds a welcome layer of tactics and preparation to how you approach the game. The level of minute detail in the modelling is just so good looking. You can see down to the individual cartridges in each cylinder on Arthur Morgan's revolver in one video. I also read that on bolt action rifles you get to actually manually manipulate the bolt to eject the fired round and load the next round. I hope they capture that level of detail on all the many varieties of unique weaponry of the era in the game. From what I can tell from the videos(I hope)it does look like they are still implementing the Euphoria engine as well as physics that made the first game's combat so satisfying.
They seem to have gone to extremes in detail not only in a good way but in many, many of the ways we've wanted to see. I poked around with SimHQ's search engine to try and find the first time Red Dead Redemption was talked about. There's a few of them still around. Here's the link to the first mention of the first game from 8+ years ago. It was nice looking at all the different SimHQ members talking about it back then.

I am looking forward to this like I have never done with a console game before. It is going to be amazing!

I'm definitely going for the hard copy. Seems backwards but Its more likely now that you can always get a physical copy of a console game but not a PC game which stinks. That being said, I think the different versions of the game are pretty ridiculous and don't justify the price. Basically to get an extra mission, a few in-game freebies and a paper map you spend twenty dollars more! It used to be that a pre-order WAS the Special Edition that came with that stuff and a map or trinket for the normal price of $59.99. Not anymore. As cool as it would be to have a steel book, which is the only difference from what I can tell between the Special addition and Ultimate Edition, you spend and extra forty dollars. So just to have a hard case you are spending $100! Then the Collector's Edition which is a box of junk doesn't even come with the game! Someone has gotten carried away with this and the pricing of each don't make any since. So no thank you and I'll just shoot for the 'ol standard edition. I imagine eventually they'll do the same with this game and come out with a complete edition with all the extras and perhaps any DLC or expansions they may come out with.
I just can't fathom those price points for the "extra" editions when they really don't come with much of anything.

I've got it and been playing it as I convalesce here at home with the cancer! oh man......not you too. Hope you beat it. Yeah, since May. Stage 4. Thanks for the kind words. There's somewhere here a thread about "news and prayers needed." We are all dropping like flies. But I have as good a chance as anyone. I'm faithful, healthy other than this (before this anyway) and 47. Never drank much. Never smoked.

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11
Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11

After about ten hours my patch download just now finished. So I won't be starting it tonight. I look forward to starting it tomorrow!
@Mr._Blastman, I heard a month ago or so that during one of Rockstar's behind the scenes look at the game for special media/press peoples, that people immediately were commenting on how beautiful the game looked to which Rockstar at that special screening confirmed that what they were watching was on the regular PS4 hardware. I have a launch console that has served me well and I think as they normally do, they've covered all the bases and have produced a well rounded, quality AAA product. I can't say for certain but I doubt that even a Pro model does anything more significant to the game other than perhaps assist with 4K gaming and what have you. I'm assuming that the game would still be locked to 30 frames even on a Pro.
@Crane Hunter. I can only speak to the PS4. I've owned a launch model since 2014 and it has served me well and its a beautiful little machine. It has many great titles and I love the interface and controller which is one of if not best console controller I've ever used.
