InfernoV Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 After Red Dead Redemption i saw countless comments about how you would love to see the next game be a prequel featuring John Marston and the gang but now its a reality all i see is people moaning. So I ask YOU, if the rdr2 story is a prequel would you be happy or would you prefer to see brand new characters in a separate story? I personally would love it to be a prequel and Marston is my favourite Rockstar protagonist so i would love to see him again during his days with Dutchs gang but I would prefer the main playable protagonist to be a new charecter to give the game a fresh feel. It being a prequel also gives me a reason to complete rdr again and this time pay attention to what Marston and gang have to say about their past.

Rascalov Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I would not be happy, a prequel would have been better as DLC. NightmanCometh96 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoosyCircle Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'd be fine, we'd get to see marston in the days of outlaw gang life. We can see in the screenshots, the middle figure has a resemblance of Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabalous Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I will accept anything at this point, but I would much prefer a new story that has no ties or leads to Redemption, or in other words, Marston's story.

Typhus Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Nope. It would cheapen everything about John's story in the original, and couldn't possibly hope to match the emotion of the ending. They created something truly beautiful the first time around, I really hope they don't trivialise it by bringing back John just to please some of the fans. saintsrow and The Dedito Gae 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayD70 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I voted no. But I'll be happy either way. The problem with prequels is they often create plot holes in the original narrative. And the journey usually feels lacking due to knowing how it all ends up. STOLARS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColePhelps Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I think we'll play as someone else in the artwork (probably the guy in the middle). John is on the far left, Dutch is left to the middle guy, kinda looks like Javier with the dual revolvers and Bill on the other side so no doubt a prequel of some type.

RayD70 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 What if the main protagonist is someone brand new that wasnt mentioned in RDR and was part of the gang? It still runs the same risk. Like I said before though, I'll be happy either way. Just my preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a prequel but the story will be somewhat of a tangent to John's, with someone else taking center stage as the playable protagonist, and Marston's story (and his falling out with the gang) being more of a sub-plot. I'm very enthused about this idea - if that's what they did, it's a very creative way of doing a prequel, expanding on some backstory we want to know, but also hopefully delving into some brand new material too. If Marston himself was the main character that would be alright too, but the more I think about the above idea, the more I like it. Based on the teaser image I don't think there's any chance it's NOT a prequel. saintsrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB&Ritz Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Definitely would be happy with a prequel, since the first Red Dead Redemption took place in 1911. I would not be happy, a prequel would have been better as DLC. Dlc wouldn't be enough to cover a potential prequel for John, gotta be a full game lasting at least 30 hours.

DarkDayz Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 As long as it isn't half assed because of online, I really don't care. Rockstar are solid storytellers, would be a shame for them to put it to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Skates Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I voted yes because I prefer John to Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutduster Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I voted yes because I prefer John to Jack. A prequel around Jack wouldn't be that good even if he wasn't so annoying. The West was basically over by that time. saintsrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9i OTD Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I wouldn't necessarily be unhappy with it and I'd still play it and probably love it, but I don't want it to be. I don't want it to be directly connected to Redemption and want it to be set before (post 1914 isn't the wild west by any stretch really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Franklin Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I like RDR2 to be a prequel but not playing as John Marsten again. A new character in Dutch's gang, witnessing the fallout between John and Dutch and the rest of the gang before he was left for dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combustion Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I want a well-written story not related to John Marston. Even though a prequel would fill the holes left by Red Dead Redemption; like the story of Dutch's gang, I want a completely new story set in a different part of the 'wild' West, or at least a sequal depicting the life of Jack after killing Ross.

Femme Fatale Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Nah, I want a new story and characters...I can only hope R* doesn't decide to sh*t RDR's characters like they did on IV's with V.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HungryDingo Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Could be both in the same game who knows at this point. But yes i would be satisfied with a prequel because exploring John's past and old gang sounds interesting to me.

killahmatic Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Although I would be satisfied with a prequel, I can't imagine R* doing that. They'll likely have a brand new story that takes place in a different place in the same universe. Some character crossover may happen, but I'd imagine this story to be separate from the original. When RDR ended, I wanted to see more John Marston. His story was phenomenal, and the character was the best I've seen R* create, and that's really saying something. However, as much as I want to see more Marston, I also feel that his story was told and completed. I don't think we really need to see his earlier days with Dutch's gang. I think that hearing about pieces of his past does more justice to his story than actually reliving it. I'm ready for a new story, and I hope it's as well done as the last.

.JimmyHopkins. Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I would be happy with a prequel or a whole new story with new characters, but yet connected to RDR. It might even be a story where Jack Marston is in a gang, even though i doubt this will be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Lynx 23 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Maybe. I'd be happy with a prequel IF Rob voice acts John Marston again. Even if the bigshots at R* have to hog tie him and take him to a recording studio. No matter how roughed up some of them might get while playing cat & mouse with him on his property that he'd know better than they would. That'd be a sacrifice us consumers would be willing to make to keep John's original voice if this is a prequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Corbeau Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I would prefer a new cast of characters, but I want a prequel, have little interesting in a 20th century cowboy game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkjellman Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I wouldn't want it to be a prequel that follows closely with John and his gang. I would like to see a new set of characters, but it would be neat if it did a crossover with John and his gang. They would have to do it right though and make sure that they leave no holes in the story. Sorta like how we see Claude in GTA SA. If it was like that, then I would be happy with it. But I would like to see it be a sequel where you play as Jack. After all, in the original game, you do play as Jack after beating the game. If you do get to play as him, I would like to see him more developed in the new game. It would be nice to see how John's death affected him.However, picking a story setting has its problems on both ends. If they do a prequel, they need to be careful and avoid plot holes if any of the characters from the original Red Dead Redemption appear in this game. If they do a sequel, they can't go too far ahead of 1911. We don't want the game to get too modern. With that regard, how old was Jack in RDR before completion of the story, vs after it is beaten?

Caduceus_ Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I would be very happy with a prequel. Dutch Van Der Linde was the best character of RDR. He reminded me a lot of Negan from The Walking Dead. There really wasn't enough Dutch in RDR for me to be happy. I want to know what Marston's gang were up to prior to 1911, see Heidi McCourt get her eye blown out, and figure out what sank the Serendipity.

DangerZ0neX Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I'd be delighted with a prequel, we will get to see how Marston's old gang got its reputation and have a better taste of the bitterness of the betrayal, thus giving more meaning and meat to RDR1.
