Honestly the fact that it's a prequel makes me completely disinterested in it. I'll probably still end up getting it and still end up loving it but I'd far rather have a new story than see a bunch of background info I really don't need where the whole time I'm just going, "And then they all kill each other," and the narrative is one of the best parts of the original for me. I'm all for a prequel. There was a lot to be fleshed out, such as what Dutch's Gang did and how they operated, plus how John had ultimately left the gang. There's also the whole "Wild West" appeal. Not even sure how you can do a sequel to Red Dead Redemption. The main part of it was playing as a remnant of the Old West and how he coped with the increasingly modernized world. Everything basically got wrapped up by the end of the game. Dutch's gang was all killed, John's dead, Abigail's dead, Edgar Ross is dead, and the only thing you could really go from there is playing Jack's story. It can be set at the same time, or even before, and just not feature Dutch or his gang or any kind of connection to that story. Based on the briefest glimpse of the town, it looks like it could be set down the road a little after the first game.

Well, I don't want a sequel either, I want a wholly unrelated story. And really... I don't think it remotely matters what Dutch's gang did or what exactly happened in the past. That all seems like completely unnecessary detail best left to your imagination.

Yeah, I really hope they do this GTA style where there are loose threads connecting the 2 games, but they're essentially completely independent of each other

I'm all for a prequel with the gang, and the story that you get hints and bits of in the first one. His meeting with Abigail and leaving the gang and so on.
I'd take a loosely related thing in the same place...but I think I'd spend too much time wanting it to be more related.
I have no interest in playing anymore as the son than I had to at the end of the last one.

Though I think his voice actor died since Red Dead. :-(

Kinda disappointed that Marston isn’t the protagonist, but with Dutch involved I expect Marston and the rest of the gang will show up somewhere.

It looks absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to get shredded apart by ninja cougars again. Such hype.
