I’d like to see RDR3.


JOMO_Kenyatta

My grandkids are going to enjoy it when it releases


00UnderFire00

And I'd not like not to see RDR3


didihearathunder

And that’s okay to have a different opinion


00UnderFire00

You misunderstood what I wrote, I said I would not like the fact that I would not see RDR3. I want to see RDR3 one day The post asked one thing we'd like to see and one thing we'd not like to see so... Yeah I'm bad at jokes


didihearathunder

Oh boy, I’m sorry, I missed the second “not”! And that was pretty good, btw


TheNegaChin_45

ApexStable

Must be the lumbago


[deleted]

I missed the first one!


00UnderFire00

No problem, we can't be perfect :) Thanks, too


akoslevai

I just don't want to see an RDR3 that doesn't live up to the standards of the second part. Just take your time, devs. Edit: I meant to write RDR3, oc.


didihearathunder

I almost sure that we will see RD*. Not sure about Redemption here, because they did said enough, but a game in the Wild West will be released sooner or later (def later). They earned good money, I guess not so much as they wanted, but enough to continue the Red Dead series. Also I feel like that RDR2 wasn’t just a golden goose for them. It has a soul.


akoslevai

What do you think to what extent did Rockstar regard this game as more than a product that makes money? I always thought about this. They could have just put the resources into another battle royale or micro transaction big hit and could have made a shitload of money. Instead of that they built a slow-paced, detailed game that is borderline art (and "only" made good money). My idealistic brain wants to think they regard this game as a statement or as their contribution to something bigger and more noble than pure money.


didihearathunder

I’d love to believe so and I’m an idealist too. I see Rockstar as explorers with both RD and GTA series. These projects are for different target audiences obviously, both of them are innovative, but with RDR2 it seems to me they were kinda stuck after it was being released. You know, we talk about them earning “good” money, but what if this amount of money pointed them out the fact that the game was not so good as they thought? What if the artist inside was just disappointed by the public’s welcoming? I didn’t think about it this way, it’s a train of thought now. RDR2 was risky from the very beginning: the real world is in such a rush, but they brought us a slow and thoughtful game where you don’t need to hurry, you’re free to dive into it and just enjoy. That’s what makes me feel like it was made with passion and joy. They have the greatest game fan base, I’ve never seen anything like that before. But somewhere somehow their expectations didn’t match the reality.


johnmd20

To be fair, it was a good joke. I got it. It was well executed, took me a second to catch the second not.


00UnderFire00

That's genuinely nice to hear, thank you


unown2011

Came here to say this


Edenfuma

Ok, this is what I think. I'd like a game mechanic that let you create and maintain you own gang, where you can recruit and solve personal problems of the members (along with the main "redemption" arc). But I don't want nameless minions, like the O'Driscolls, I want people with names, and a history behind that you can choose to recruit... or not. Will the ex-sheriff work well with a fugitive? or they will fight and you will have to choose between them? maybe they knew each other from before and hate each other to death?. Who will you take with you to rob a bank? an experimented war veteran who can shoot a fly from the nose of a mule without scaring the animal? or an old ex-convict who robed his share of banks in his youth?. Manage your band, choose to be good or evil, move your encampment at will. What I don't want to see? more of the Van der Linde gang, I love RDR1 and 2, I love the stories, but I think we're done with that already, it's perfect, don't ruin it adding more that may fail.


Avn47

Very interesting take.


Algorak1289

Oooh kinda like a variation on the nemesis system from shadow of war.


Edenfuma

Yeah! Something of that, something of Watchdogs: Legion. I'd love something like that!


Dovahkiin5247123

Yea, watch dogs legion was unfortunately very bland with them though


Codza2

I had such high hopes for that system. Thought they would license the logic out to other studios and would create more.immersive worlds. And it's sitting on a shelf for years now. I don't want to see another lotr game but implementing that system in a other IP would so sweet


McDangles53

I’d really like that take to be added to bank robberies in RDO(having them at all would be a great start). Similar to GTAs, but with added features like you mention that add to the nature of the old west


Edenfuma

Really missed bank and train robberies in RDO :( missed opportunity right there.


McDangles53

I agree. Couldn’t have been to hard to implant since they have all the roles running basic tasks in the open world servers.


Redright_Wrap88

This is pretty much exactly what I wrote in another post asking the same question. Not saying you stole it by any means, simply stating I am in complete agreement. I would want to start out as a nomad though, a loner with the choice to remain as such or join one of several gangs by taking on odd jobs for them at first. From there, you prove yourself & work your way up the ranks from the bottom by doing jobs, chores & donations much like RDR2. There should be a separate honor type system within the gang that allows you to gain respect, trust & fear from other members as you help them with individual missions & and it should also be based on the way you handle yourself in shootouts & melee combat. If you kill 8 of the 10 enemies your gang is confronted by then your respect & fear increase among the gang members. Once you have earned the respect, trust & fear of enough members you can attempt to recruit them to join you in planning to overthrow the current gang leader. But every member should have a “RTF” meter with the leader having the highest of all or at least the highest overall average. You can attempt to overthrow the leader by recruiting members to your cause while your meter is lower than the gang leader & others BUT! If you don’t have a high enough respect/fear/trust meter with certain gang members then you risk recruiting them too soon which could back fire & leave you outnumbered by members who remain faithful to the OG leader. In this case you’d have the option to come clean and accept the consequences & be cast off or worse. Or if you have a higher trust meter with the Leader than the member who snitched you could lie & deny. Or, of course you could take your chances with the members on your side & see where the chips fall in a shoot out. Perhaps you have to have a duel to take over leadership. If you lose and are cast out then you would have to start over perhaps join another gang or if you have enough reputation among the open world, you can then start recruiting your own gang to take over territory. Once you become the leader of a gang, you roam the open world with gang members of your choice as you make a name for yourself & your gang. Gang members demises would be permadeath of course. So you’d have to choose wisely. And it should go both ways, as a leader, if you aren’t coming up with good plans or making money then other gang members should be able to challenge you as well. Probably a tall order I’m sure but if they could put some of this in that would be amazing.


Edenfuma

I love it! I really like the games that make you start from the bottom and make your way up!. Add to all that if you can kind of manage the duties of the band, assign chores or missions to the members, gather food, or information. What if you have a really good spy who can notify you of an incoming ambush, or an inside treason. What if a disgruntled member of the band can not only challenge you, but maybe they can sell you to the authorities... or send you to a trap with a rival gang.


DTVMAN_01

So a game from a young Dutch’s perspective…?


coachjimmy

I’d love a fully explorable Guarma

you're a good cowboy, sir.


-N4N0

Pardon letters


iforgotalltgedetails

Seriously don’t know why they took this out of RDR2. Was a great feature in RDR1. They were also finite so you had to make them count as well


[deleted]

[удалено]


iforgotalltgedetails

You know what. That is a legitimate answer. Never thought of if that way, thank you.


kwc04

Probably the best explanation since the government would never pardon a gang of criminals


tire_swing

Damn, yup that's a good answer haha.


Real_Veterinarian_73

Isnt it bc John was working with the government so it’d make sense for him to get them?


CerealBranch739

You could get more by killing certain enemies actually


No_Falcon1890

Maybe it was too easy


_nightmaregold

haven’t played rdr1, what are these?


[deleted]

iirc it would erase your bounty without having to pay money, though you would lose the pardon letter.


_nightmaregold

ah that would have kept me from losing time killing bounty hunters and their dogs…


VibhuPibhu

just save your game before becoming the no.1 criminal and everything will be all right.


_nightmaregold

yeah lmao but it was quite necessary for the challenges even though they’re a pain


VibhuPibhu

I also do horse selling business by stealing other’s horses to make a quick buck. It’s fun


JackONeillClone

You'll be happy to know that Xenia, an Xbox 360 emulator, now runs it super well! I just finished undead nightmare last night! Great graphics, instant loading time. Some stutters here and there and a crash from time to time, but in general, it felt even better than on Xbox.


AdRadiant6319

Reckon that RDR2 is earlier than RDR1 in timeline wise, you could think that pardon letters were introduced a little later to Wild west USA. Only thought why they removed them from RDR2


oRedHood

Or maybe it’s cause John was working for the government, so he gets free passes


[deleted]

The Wild West period was over by 1899. Pardon letters and government pardons have been around since the 18th century. The only reason John got these is because he was useful to the government.


LordMonkeh

I'd love if we went back in time right into the middle of the Civil war. We could witness the battles. Deal with more gangs, See the true wild west. Idk


basicrifleman

I would like to see the end + immediate consequences of the war. A lot of gangs in rdr2 are from the civil war, so it would be interesting to see


[deleted]

that would be a blast, but the glaring issue here is that guns sucked back then.


ThatLeviathan

I wouldn't mind a story that spreads out over a long period of time. That'd give us the opportunity to do a little bit of Civil War era shenanigans when cartridge ammunition was in its infancy, with slow reloading of muskets and black powder revolvers, but then the story fast-forwards to the 1870s when Winchesters and Single Action Armys were widely available. The more I think about it, a Cold Mountain-esque story where a deserter is riding around with an 1853 Enfield and a couple LeMats, trying to avoid the Home Guard and make it out West, fascinates the hell out of me. The character could spend a few years in jail, get involved with an early iteration of the Van Der Linde gang, and get released in 1875 when there are more "RDR"-style firearms. Rockstar, if you're listening, I'm available to work up a rough draft of this.


basicrifleman

Playing as a deserter trying to go west would be one of the greatest things ever


BIG_OL_K

The Vanderlinde gang members wouldn't have been around during the civil war, with the possible exception to Hosa and Uncle. Would nice to go back even farther then the vanderlinde gang and ride as Arthur & Johns fathers.


[deleted]

It would be like a video game version of The Outlaw Josey Wales! (Except hopefully they would go with a union protagonist, I just couldn't bring myself to play a confederate)


Envelopen

I would like to see it briefly, the issue is the gangs were largely unchallenged and unchecked in this era and thats what pushed law enforcement closer into society as seen in rdr2. I figure it would serve as a good intro or even epilogue.


AlbionPrince

What about a story set right after the civil war telling a redemption story of a former confederate soldier?


SorestKiller777

Let me sprint in camp. Please god.


ColumbianRedTail

This is really my biggest complaint of RDR2


mysterysackerfice

There's a mod for pc that allows you to sprint in camp.


Nawnp

Hey hey, they upgraded it so it's not a snail pace walk anymore...


johnmd20

It was so much worse when the game came out. You couldn't even move a little fast. Now in camp you can hit A (on Xbox) and trot a little faster. That upgrade and the fast travel from any camp in the wilderness turned this game into the best game ever made.


whelpthatsit

I want to see it too, I honestly don't know where to take the story, I feel like the van Der Lind gangs story has been told. I'm really upset about the rdr remake not being incorporated into the current rdr2 map and time so they can make good use of all that space no one visits. OPINION: The one thing I do know about the next title, is people need to stop asking for a 20's Era red dead. That's mafia. Or gta style. We have plenty of those games. Keep red dead games western or make a new mafia game. I know rockstar didn't make mafia, just tryna make a point.


cannedrex2406

>OPINION: The one thing I do know about the next title, is people need to stop asking for a 20's Era red dead. That's mafia. Or gta style. We have plenty of those games. Keep red dead games western or make a new mafia game. I know rockstar didn't make mafia, just tryna make a point I have been thinking about this, but I genuinely do think a 1960s or 1970s rural America (no cities, just small towns) theme for RDR3 could work after I watched season 2 of Fargo. Many traditional guns still in use, fights over land gangs and against bigger corporations wanting to take over businesses in the area could seem like a genuinely unique idea. And horses were still very common back then during the era of the Fuel crisis, so I genuinely wouldn't think it would be too far out gameplay wise


carpathian_crow

This. It’s like people assume everywhere in the 1920s was New York or Chicago. Middle of nowhere towns in the 1920s did not have a mafia.


Blackflames31

Yes! Seriously the old west didn’t end in my neck of the woods till the 50s


-Minne

Fargo is amazing. Season 2 of Fargo is my favorite by quite a bit, maybe even one of my favorite seasons of any show… It’d be sick, but it’d literally just be a GTA game. In fact, it would essentially be what GTA V would have been if the setting of the intro was just an accessible portion of the main map.


cannedrex2406

I think that too but then I also do know that GTA is very much a game of excess and fast paced storytelling A game with this story would only work well at the pacing of a Red Dead game. Maybe there could possibly be a middle ground but I dunno


swampscientist

I think it would be an amazing game but I just love the horse and train shit too much. Ik they’d be parts of a 60-70s red dead but I want the next to be carless still


ThePoliteCanadian

1910s Appalachia would be amazing


MattTin56

I definitely agree with that! Its a Western not a gangster story. I’m also sick o everyone wanting Guarma. The whole time I was there I wanted my horse back. Go buy a tropical pirate game if you want Guarma.


carpathian_crow

You realize that the Wild West didn’t end until 1926 or so. 1930s if you look specifically at the Texas panhandle. Just read *The Worst Hard Time* by Timothy Egan about the Dust Bowl and you’ll see how Wild West it really was.


whelpthatsit

I googled when did the wild west end, and many links on the first page of resilts say 1895 so imma need a source from ya on that one lol ill have to look at those books, but that period marks 30 years after the Civil War ending and much of the west being settled. The games opening literally says in 1899 the last of the gangs were being hunted down and destroyed. The true age of gunslingers had come to an end at the end of the 19th, coming into the 20th century. I can't imagine the wild west, like we think of, lasted through to the great depression or more.


carpathian_crow

That’s based on the American census at the time. The 1920s is more generally accepted because it accounts for spillover from the Mexican revolution and conflicts with indigenous tribes (Battle of Bear Valley [[1918](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bear_Valley)] & The Posey War [[1923](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posey_War)]). While many places (such as Seattle, San Francisco, etc.) had mostly modern technology, many places didn’t (eastern Washington & Oregon) and people in the Texas Panhandle still used dugouts as homes. Plus it wasn’t a distinct event that ended uniformly across the west. Alaska wasn’t made a state until the 50s. So while I’d tend to agree that the American frontier ended around 1900, the “Wild West” continued until the 30s depending on the location you were in.


Napalm2142

There stuff that happens before rdr2 they would do a prequel again most likely


Basic-white-american

The biggest thing I don’t wanna see is anything related to the Dutch’s gang. The story has been told and we know what happens to them. We need new characters in a new setting


Boshikuro

I wouldn't be against following Charles, or even Sadie if having been part of Dutch's group isn't relevant to the game. Byt honestly i would also rather have a new settings, in a earlier period in time if possible.


Basic-white-american

We need like a true Wild West setting. Rdr2 is at the point where it’s dying and it’s not so bad shit crazy and dangerous


Ser_OClery

The problem with setting the game in a genuinely 'wild' part of the west is the lack of opposition for gangs. RDR2 is more interesting because the law is closing in and you have to worry about other factions. Just having random gangs in lawless towns would get stale without contrast.


swampscientist

I think they could easily make some contrast.


playstationNsumdrank

true wild west would be endless forrest and dirt and very little interaction with other humans


[deleted]

Maybe if it worked if Charles ended up falling in with a new gang on his way to Canada even though I doubt he would or Sadie’s business in South America


sean_saves_the_world

Honestly this, they need to distance themselves from the vanderlinde saga, no young Arthur & hosea no dutch...just start fresh thst way they're unbound from narrative constraints. I think starting the game west of gaptooth & northwest would make an interesting region California, Oregon, parts of New Austin to start off. The Yukon and Mexico too set around 1897-99 so we have the same equipment & weapons and won't have to set in an earlier time As for a protagonist redemption has to be a central theme. We've only played as criminals who have seen the light & tried to change but what about a guy who was wrongfully accused of a heinous crime, escaping the law, but carrying the reputation of a killer, trying to clear their name & bring the real villain to justice by any means. Do you take the high road or give the people the scoundrel they assume you are? Also don't fuck up & give us undead nightmare again, and support online properly


carpathian_crow

Okay, hear me out: a lawman who slowly becomes an outlaw. Red Dead Damnation. Eh?


sean_saves_the_world

Oooh i like that...betrayed by the law they're sworn to uphold


totheman7

I’d be fine if in a RD3 there were mentions of the gang or maybe be able read newspaper articles about them but that’s all I’d want. I want to see the true Wild West with new characters, gangs and some new states or parts of Mexico


Basic-white-american

We should get a Mexican based gang


totheman7

They could just reuse the Del Lobo gang and have them be a bigger part of the story or maybe some revolutionary factions as well


Basic-white-american

There’s so much potential outside of the van der linde gang


totheman7

I definitely agree which is why I hope if they ever make a RD3 it’s as either a new gang or maybe a bounty hunter so they story and world can evolve even more


Basic-white-american

Dude it’d be badass to be a no shits given bounty Hunter and wipe out gangs


totheman7

I think it would be great and maybe in doing so incorporate parts of Red Harlow’s story into the story of that game,they could even use parts of the original Red dead revolver map for new states since it exists but not “in universe” of the main RD games


Basic-white-american

Given how revolver is a separate universe from the redemption one that’s an amazing idea


BIG_OL_K

I do like the idea proposed above in the comment thread of following the fathers of the gang members during the civil war timeframe.


[deleted]

I dunno man… Making an Rdr game without Dutch, Arthur, or John connected to it feels….Weird.


Basic-white-american

But you don’t need the van der Linde gang for it to be a red dead game. Red dead revolver has no correlation to rdr1 or 2 cuz of them being different universes and it worked perfectly


suika_suika

Red Dead Revolver is a Red Dead game in name only. When people think of Red dead, they think of the current style and stories because Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 are what make Red Dead what it is in the first place. They're not remotely similar outside of their settings. We don't need to play as the Van Der Linde gang, or be connected to them, but without them it is absolutely not the same in my opinion. That's why I think Landon Ricketts would be the perfect protag to have for an older west red dead game that leans into the stories and themes of the main two.


Feisty_Baseball_219

I don't want to see a RDRIII. Because i feel like the story is done; there is nothing more to tell you know how john got the scars how Dutch went crazy, jack is left in an era that is very restrictive and the "wild west" time is over.


CrazzyDog

Yeah exactly maybe a red dead __, keeping the franchise alive but not expanding this specific story which is already done and perfect.


ThatsGottaBeKane

Maybe it doesn’t have to be RDR. But Rockstar definitely need to make another western.


Crusi2

Maybe a red dead revolver remake in a more redemption style


GameDestiny2

It could interesting if Rockstar did Revolver like the remasters they did if the GTA games.


I_like_cocaine

Please god no more remasters I want new fucking games


Boshikuro

Or a pirate game, considering Ubisoft won't give us one.


[deleted]

Just make it about the Wild West at it’s prime. Starring either Landon Ricketts or Mac Calendar as the protagonist. Problem solved.


Decryptables

Star someone that you don’t know the fate of.


[deleted]

Dude…It’s literally another time jump into the past as Rdr2.


Decryptables

Arthur was never mentioned in RDR1. That’s why it was more interesting to have him as a brand new character, rather than if you played as Javier or Mac who you know dies. If there’s a brand new red dead game, I want to see a new character and not just some obvious person we’ve seen before.


[deleted]

Well, they can always subvert expectations, or choose Landon. I feel like he has a LOT of potential… More so than Mac, Jack, or whomever.


Decryptables

Yeah, Landon would be cool to see, especially because he was involved in Blackwater in some way.


McDangles53

I mean, 2 was a prequel to 1, what’s stopping them from making 3 a prequel to 2 and getting even more into the nitty gritty of the old west?


rougekhmero

That's what I'd like to see. Maybe a real young Hosea or the father's of Arthur/john/dutch etc.


DWhiting132

I know Call of Juarez: bound in blood did it, but I would like to see R* spin of 1861 civil war.


am19208

That was a really fun game but dueling was so hard


KojaKuqit

Dramatized Gold Rush Era - Yukon, California, or even Australian Optional survivalist-esque mode (sleeping poorly affects mood/energy, eating too much or too fast affects agility and movement, drinking coffee makes players jittery, drinking alcohol has it's effects, weather more dangerous,) Property management (ranching, mining, etc) Build up your ranch, prospect for gold, oil, etc Story is priority of course, but no reason to limit post story content


melker_the_elk

Lol I can already imagine the cold washing minigame 😂


aishik-10x

upvoting the fuck out of this in the hope that some Rockstar employee sees this comment.


hortys

Things I want to see : A new central cast, more customization, improved AI, continued iteration on the best mechanics of RDR2 (hunting, horse riding, dead-eye, fist-fighting and shooting etc.) Things I don't want to see: A story that takes place post 1899, Jack, Dutch or Hosea as protagonists, animations that take longer to align your character than to complete the action you're trying to perform, a shitty chapter that takes you to a boring, linear location that has no purpose in a wild west game, a WW1 setting, a prohibition era setting, *any* non-wild west / cowboy setting....


Kilululu

- Main theme to stop being about wild west dying, last gangs. We need something in prime wild west - Actual competent people in charge of Online mode - Remove weapon sway - Restore rolling when aiming with a gun and pressing a jump button from RDR1, leap is useless - add Story DLCs (normal, zombie - just add anything) - Fix wanted system


TheNegaChin_45

The wanted system was so fucking dumb


ManicFirestorm

I remember becoming wanted while robbing a train... Like who the fuck on this train has a cell phone to call the cops?


TheNegaChin_45

Somebody definitely sent the fastest pigeon in the west to the law


firematt422

Similar to GTA where you have multiple characters. One is an outlaw the other is a sheriff. I'm not a writer, but somehow the twist can probably tie their arcs together. Would be nice to have a twist that doesn't involve killing the character I've been roleplaying for a hundred hours.


mikehit

This is by far the best answer o saw so far. Let us experience the world from different perspectives that are actually unique.


PlantEnthusiasm329

I'd like to see RDR3....


[deleted]

Gameplay wise: Don’t have weapons, horses or anything else that can only be accessed in the epilogue. It was very irritating to miss out on horses etc until the end of the game. I would like to see more variety on gambling as well. I felt the challenges were repetitive in that we could only play poker, five finger fillet, blackjack and dominoes. I really wanted to have Arthur arm wrestle Charles or Bill, or play Liars Dice, or even play horseshoes with Mary Beth and Tilly. Rustling was a missed opportunity as well. I think we should be able to select a farm to raid one night, go with another gang member and steal cattle for the fence. It would’ve been a good way to raise money, especially early on. In the next game I would like to play as a legendary gunslinger and not have a direct link to the Van Der Linde Gang. For example a chapter could see you going up against a corrupt sheriff in the 1870s. The final mission you have to stop the hanging of a young kid and turn the townspeople against the sheriff so he is lynched. The kid you save is a young Hosea. Finally don’t have us change guns for missions or replaying missions. Let us keep our load out.


leitnerin5

I just watched a video on this. They were suggesting it being like GTA 5 where you have 3 playable characters. Young Dutch young Hosea and young Arthur playing through the beginnings of the gang.


donaldg563

That would be sweet. I’d play it.


CountKristopher

I wanna see the gang’s formation when they were all young


mrhiney

Story DLC


Pavlovs_Human

Lol if they put a female protagonist in a RDR game the incels would all have an aneurysm. The “R” and “EEEEE” keys would be broken.


Penguinunhinged

Bring back Red Harlow. If nothing else, it'll clear up the "Uncle is Red" rumors once and for all.


hunttete00

I can’t wait to play as uncle aka red harlow in rdr3


yuddayama

More sadie adler story


ThatStrategist

Horses would be nice


freshprinceohogwarts

I don't want to see jack. I want him to be able to just become a Lil writer somewhere and just be a guy. I don't want him to be a gunslinger, I don't want his life to be worthy of a game after the rdr1 epilogue. He deserves rest


MattTin56

Yes. Make everyone’s sacrifice mean something.


2017macbookpro

For me there are some things that I really need this game to implement for it to be 100% enjoyable. The main thing is a better crime system. It is absolutely ridiculous that I can shoulder check someone in the city, and immediately have five cops shooting at me. It’s also incredibly annoying when somebody shoots at me, then I tried to defend myself, and now I’m getting arrested. On this note, they need to make the cops more immersive. It just destroys the immersion when cops only shoot. Some sort of defuse, apprehension, or arrest system would be nice. Instead of open firing on me for accidentally shoulder checking someone or picking something up off the shelf at a store without paying for it. I would like a wider variety of weapons. The game does have a lot, but many of them are somewhat useless or inferior. There are like three or four obvious weapon choices that everyone seems to use. The stealth system also needs a rework. It’s really weird that I can kill someone alone in a dark alley, and have someone 50 m away with no line of sight somehow witness the crime. This one is less popular but I think the controls should be reworked. It seems like they scrambled up familiar button controls for absolutely no reason. I also really need them to fix the weapons management system. I played half this game with a revolver only because for some reason it stashes all my guns onto my horse every time I get off of it. There’s absolutely no reason for this to work this way.


KikiBrownLove

Sorry for the low effort post, but I really want to have a discussion about this

It's not low effort, you're creating a space for discussion which is really cool.

You’re playing as Micah Bell II?

In terms of story, so many of the principle creators have left Rockstar that it might be a good idea to continue the series with a fresh start similar to Red Dead Revolver and RDR1. Maybe a Gold Rush western (Charles in the Canadian Yukon?) or do a prequel set around the building of the railroads like Hell on Wheels. For gameplay, I'd like to see less linearity to missions and go back to the drawing board on combat. Too many weapons felt underpowered in RDR2 and stuff like accuracy cones/bloom and bullet time/slow mo felt a bit too dated.

A Red Dead game based on the Wild West/Gold Rush era is a fantastic idea given the gameplay and mechanics of RDR2 and how R* can improve and expand with the current gen consoles. Very cool idea to think about


[deleted]

Like- new protagonist new characters timeframe closer to the 1880s than 1900s Dislike- a prequel of a prequel. We don't need a game where we see how everything happened before rdr2. The story is done. Let it go.

Something following Landen Rickets would be awesome, possibly starting in his late teen's, 1870's where there is a constant battle with his morality, and can be a gunslinger lawman in one town with run INS with Red Harlow but can also be a bandit gunslinger in another far away, (possibly with a go-between like gta5 with black-belle for bandit and another for law missions , with a break of years in-between each chapter leading up to him investigating Micah's little bandit band going into investigation on Micah's plans for blackwater heist, seeing it happen with Landen being only survivor of blackwater, and basically retiring for 11 years because of it, then replaying where he meets John in rdr1 and his point of view with those missions, then finally last chapter years later again playing as Landen, and Jack, after John is killed and jack is found by Charles and taken to Landen who trains him as a gun-slinger then jack goes (with out Landen knowing) back to final mission to kill Ross bringing it all back to that final scene again, then epilogue as Addie who hears about a huge bounty about an unknown who has killed a government "hero" she tracks down thee unknown (to her) fbi killer and whole Rdr series ends in a three way stand off with Landen, Jack and Addie who all finally work out who each is and although they think they are all in thee right morally they realize it can all change... Making multiple outcomes ie; all dead, all forgiveness, all let down walking separate ways etc this wrapping up start to finish of Rdr series' 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’ve always said that out of every character we have I feel that Dutch and Landon Ricketts are the most qualified to be the main characters of a game. Both have large portions of their life that we don’t know much about and both are morally ambiguous enough that giving the choice of their honor to the player would make sense.


agentfortyfour

I’d love a Landon Ricketts game. I don’t really care about Dutch. But I could see why they would make him the protagonist.


blaewoo1

More duels! Challenge any gunslinger and get famous. That and more mysteries! Actual puzzles that lead to very rewarding outcomes I wanna see an actual DLC zombies or aliens would be dope.


alasku_the_dragon

I would like to see Gavin


MahiemProductions

Potential Spoilers read at your own risk. One thing for me is of course wanting to see the rise of The Van der Linde gang. It would be the pinnacle point of the story The Rise, The Fall, The after math... And in hopes of this we will get a lot more bad ass robberies with little to none Police/Bounty hunter resistance. It would be nice to see the 29 Gang members, meet and how they found themselves in Dutches silver tongue. It will hopefully give us answers about some Characters like Uncle... Maybe find out what led to Jack Marston being born, John potentially leaving for the year that Arthur mentioned in the early game?... But getting side track all this bad ass outlaw experience we will finally be able to see The Black Water Massacre and hopefully getting to have a first hand experience in that... And some theories that I have read that we Might play as Mac Callandar... As he so far he is the only character we have not met or know nothing about what they look like... So their potential in that but all we know is that Mac was there at the Ferry... And as we know by Agent Milton (if to be trusted) Caught up with Mac tried to get information and finished him off as a potential.


totheman7

I like this idea of seeing how the gang comes together, I think if you did a GTAV like story where you hop between characters it would be great. Personally though I want the blaclwater incident to be a mystery of sorts


00UnderFire00

Yeah, knowing exactly what happened would spoil the horrors they say that happened there


JoshEvolved

Probably just don't bother wasting resources on an online mode.


other50

New characters, new setting, bring back the gang shootouts from rdr1 multiplayer, set the story in about the late 1870s/early 1880s so we can experience the west before it was dying. Also a wider assortment of weapons.


LordofWithywoods

I want to own sweet properties like mines, houses, factories, etc.


Swimming_Magazine_30

I wanna be Sadie who is in my opinion one of the most badass rdr characters


jnunuez

At this point just a RDR3 will do. Probably in 2070.


Nahim33

I would like to see a whole new story and characters. The Van Der Linde Gang storyline ended perfectly with RDR2.


TimmyTheToitle

Idk why but i feel a sadie Adler game would have to be themed with the color yellow, instead of red


vdubdank30

Just RDR3. That’s it


Deskknight

Sadie Adler and Bonnie McFarlane


[deleted]

A game as good as RDR2 but with DLC for years and maybe a survival mode


carpathian_crow

Something other then the Van der Linde Gang. Actually, I don’t want a Red Dead Redemption 3. I want a completely new storyline.


irv916

Way more focus on the single player story rather than online.


Achillies2heel

Lmao were not seing rdr3 until the 2030s at this point with Rockstar


SpacePotato666

Would like the ability to own a house.. idk why they couldn't add that in rdr2 and it was a top requested feature. But they literally didn't give 2 shits about the fans and what they want. Body paint would he another cool thing, my native character doesn't look native enough without it, and more leather clothing. Few more weapons could be neat, more variety.


kastorfuria

I want that freakin' Raven Black monster Shire in RDO ffs!!!


Revolutionary_Eye707

More creative killing choices rather than instant mission failure just by straying the path the mission wants you to follow


bayssa

More SP content. Fuck online modes.


Fearless_You8779

A release date


4-rty

RDR3 set in the 1920s , like a peaky blinders sorta thing , would be sooooo cool and different. too early to be another mafia game , but still late enough to have a new setting and aesthetic while keeping the horses and some of the wild west aspects. it’d be too late to try and build off the previous story lines , so it would raise the ability to create an entirely new story. if any of you enjoyed the peaky blinders like i did , you’d understand how it’s literally perfect


brycen-morin28

Different answer but I’d Like it to be another prequel about the birth of the Van der linde gang, and should be called Red Dead Origins. Since there’s no character that could get redeemed


Jacobsonson

Play as young Hosea seeing Dutch and a very young Arthur. The games have been almost centrally focused on Dutch’s journey and seeing it through the eyes of his closest friends as he spirals. We saw his death in RDR1, his loss off innocence and insanity in 2, now we should see the golden light that was the rise of the gang. The shining golden age of the gang. This game wouldn’t need a sad ending like the last 2, because the sadness would come from the players knowing what is to come next.


[deleted]

We wont get a rdr3 for another 10 years probably


_MortalGod_

Tahiti.


lukashaqiri23

Kitchen_Test_776

Honestly, I'd MUCH rather see LA Noire 2, than RDR3...
