chainsoar Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I've been playing through Red Dead again recently and found myself thinking a lot about what the next instalment in the series might be like, and what I hope it will be like. Obviously, I don't know anything about it yet, or even if the speculation that a sequel is in the works is accurate. Either way, I was curious what other RDR fans are looking forward to and/or hoping for. Personally, I hope the single player campaign doesn't make the mistake of trying to move further into the 20th century. If anything, I'd prefer it if the story was set further back in time, before John's misadventures in 1911. Somewhere around the mid to late 19th century would be fantastic. Any period where revolvers and bolt/lever action rifles were available, but the native tribes still roamed around giving John Wayne trouble. I'm also hopeful that R* are considering multiplayer with the scope and ambition of what we've seen from GTA Online. R* San Diego could even take notes on what R* North have learned from GTA:O and use that to their advantage. Imagine a Red Dead Online, if you will, where you can own a house, keep your horse(s) in a stable, possibly even park a coach/chariot on your property, buy guns and ammo, hunt and skin animals and sell their hides in town, and so on. What if, even, the heists we've all been waiting for in GTA:O eventually became a part of Red Dead? Rob banks and trains, stick up stagecoaches, and get into a massive shootout with the sheriff and US Marshals, before riding back to your hideout in the hills with the rest of your outlaw posse. Of course, if a sequel does come, it will no doubt be on next-gen. Compare the early games for the 360 and PS3 with those from the end of their lifespans. Clearly we haven't seen everything the next-gen consoles can do at the upper end of their abilities. So perhaps it isn't too much to hope for the things I've said above, and even more. Crafting, for example, from animal hides, would surely be well within the limits even of the current/previous gen (whatever we're calling the 360 and PS3 during this transition phase, I'm still not clear on that yet). Discussing it with friends has been enough to make me very eager to see what R* might bring to the table with the next part of the series. Anyone else?

Goldn-Bayse Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'd like to see Landon Ricketts as a protagonist. It could take place in his glory days and at the time john would be just a kid. It would be much better than sticking with the 20th century. Cebra and Abel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsoar Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not a bad idea. I think somewhere around the late 1870's/early 1880's might be a good time to set it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtamann123 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I started writing a concept that was set in the times when John was running in Dutch's gang. It was set in a new part of the US and in 1905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthYENIK Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have said it before, and I'm sticking to it. I'd love to see a RDR set in a big city. Preferably, New York during the Civil War. You can have the cowboy, you can have the shootouts, and horses, and saloons and bars, and everything that could make it a western, except set it in New York.

CatDog96 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have already said what it will be and I'll say it again, its called Red Dead Revenge and john is brought back to life with machines and he is like a western robocop, this is a new part of info i've never released- his whole family was killed and he wants revenge. trust me I work for rockstar, Dan and Sam are my uncles.

SilentMase Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 They could add indians to the game. Or instead of sequel take the GTA formula to a different theme, like pirates or cavemen or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secura Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I've mentioned it in the past, but some sort of character-swapping/time-travelling mechanic would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxman108 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 All I want is less GTA elements and make it more about survival and stuff. The horse GPS and mini map were helpful and conveniant but broke immersion, as did having to go to letters on it to start missions. It made me feel like I was just playing a different flavor of GTA. Not sure how else they could do it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsydianRaven Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Well there is two ideas I had for a Red Dead sequel, 1. A Read Dead game set in Australia during the 19th century and the protagonist is a Bushranger. 2. A Red Dead game set in the Oklahoma/Texas area during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl.

LibertyKing Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 For some reason, I don't think RDR set in a (eastern) city could work. I mean, most of Red Dead Redemption consisted of cowboys, deserts and horses. Of course, horses would still be there, but no desert and no cowboy... IMO, the game should be set in the desert, but with a city in it. Not a metropolis, but a city. Bigger than Blackwater though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evd Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) In my opinion it would be amazing if Rockstar somehow put deeper reference to H.P. Lovecraft's heritage. Something like Aliens backstory in GTA V. Such idea came into my mind after hours of jurney in the RDR world, which is quite grotesque and dark.It would fit perfectly, just imagine the chance to meet mysterious writer who is anxiously staring at the sky and see. second idea was to put sequel in the 50-60's XIX century in some forgotten, deserted countryside, full of hillbillys, junkies and freaks. Just look at this picture and you'll get the idea I think what do you think mates? Edited April 6, 2014 by evd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zancudo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Perfect idea. Unfortunately, Rockstar will most likely aim for something loud, like Django Unchained. I don't think they share that mystery, melancholic vision with you. Edited April 6, 2014 by Zancudo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evd Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 well actually I though they do, especially in RDR. Locations such Tumbleweed had very unexploited potential, which they used to use only in Undead NIghtmare. To bad they didint go more for the mystery of this place, explained why is it abandoned, and what happened in the big house on the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOOD Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Red Dead 2:Revolution,Red Dead Redemption 2 or Red Dead Retribution or Undead Nightmare 2 etc...tbh as a 10 years old franchise (2004-2014) with just 3 Games (including the DLC) i think R* have endless possibilities with how the future sequels would be,it can go further in the past 17th Century/18th Century or during the WW1/2 periods or even in 1960s american with cars etc,plus Red Dead (2004-2014) was the first OWG franchise to do the Wild West Settings (events) it predates Guns (2005),Call of Juarez (2006) and it even one of the first OWG that set the benchmark for Historical times before AC (2007-2014) started...But anyways a Next-Gen Red Dead Game will be Superb,i loved RDR (although i never finished it) and it one of my favourite games of all-time and one of the best this gen and from R* along with the HD Era GTA games (IV and V).

evd Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Did you notice that there is some understatement about Trevor's father? What do you think if he is actually related to someone from Red Dead Redemption. I've noticed that Rockstar is trying to build one huge universum, where some of their characters appears spontaneously, like e.g. Cash from Manhunt. He is a member of Epsilon Project, also the Carcer City is recalled in GTA V. Therefore a sequel of RDR set in 50-60 would be a great connector between these 2 games.

Zancudo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) I'd say Rockstar has two separate universes - one based on the real world (Red Dead, Midnight Club, L.A. Noire and its possible sequels, Max Payne), other one that's only inspired by it (GTA, Manhunt, Bully). EDIT: Ever since GTA V, I always imagined the next Red Dead to be a game set during the Civil War, in which you control three characters, whereas two of them would be enemies to each other: One of them would be an Afro-American slave prompted to lead his poor folk in the war as a "commander" - you'd be able to command them in fights, like in some sort of strategy (I don't know if this has any historical-wise sense, but whatever, it's a cool gameplay idea after all). Second one would be an outlaw, a member of some gang, with a fair-sized bounty on his head. A typical badass, who likes to rob trains with his friends, rape women and eat large plates of spaghetti. Third one would be a sheriff of a small town, with an ambition to take out the forementioned outlaw-badass (perhaps in a revenge). Aside from searching from him, this character would have to take care of the security of his town. Edited April 6, 2014 by Zancudo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True,and if a Red Dead game is set in the 60s it could be an HD spiritual successor to GTA's 1999 London 1969 (lol).but like you said RDR could also be in the GTA Universe like Manhunt,but i doubt it (i might be wrong though). @Zancudo I couldnt agree more with you Edited April 6, 2014 by Blood-Is-in-Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evd Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 hmmm yes, I understand this separation. But didnt R* mention that by buying collector's edition of V you gain the abillity to choose Marston as a Grandfather in Online's character editor?

FranklinDeRoosevelt Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 That has nothing to do with RDR's universe though. It's just for pure entertainment and it's pretty much a different style of easter egg to give a tribute to John Marston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
