RDR was set in 1911 when the Old West was "dying", to quote the game cover. Assuming it retains a Wild West setting, when could the next game be set? Anything later than WW1 would seem too farfetched even if the reality was somewhat different for most midwest, mid-Atlantic and southern states.

To me those 7 figures look like 7 of the available costumes in RDR (Marshall, Duster, Bandito, Walton Gang etc.). It's not really indicative of anything but having more than one character might be something they have in mind after GTA V.
What do you mean? I didn't get this, sorry.

I don't mind the idea of multiple characters but I think if Rockstar focus solely on one then the end result will be much better. Multiple characters in GTA V was cool at first but I didn't like the protags as much as pretty much any other in a big Rockstar game (John Marston, Niko Bellic, Jimmy Hopkins and Tommy Vercetti are legendary), having said that The Warriors was cool.

Well, the GTA games are set within a few decades or so of one another. Red Dead Revolver was set in the 1880's, RD Redemption in 1911. There's no story progression from one to the other. This next instalment could easily be set sometime in the middle. Or before. Or after.
Even though i loved the game, i generally hate 'westerns'. So my knowledge of the period and when landmark events occurred is very limited.

I wonder if that "leaked" map from a few months ago is legit.
If it is legit, and only features the northern area, I will definitely be missing Mexico. That was my favorite area in the first game.
edit: better version
Maybe it's both regions? That would be cool. I hope it's set a few years before to be honest.

I thought that it really worked. The problem with GTA IV is that the story became convoluted and unfocused at times; I often found myself doing jobs for someone - like Mallorie - with no idea why. But in GTA V, each protagonist had his own individual story running parallel to the main narrative, and each narrative thread was clearly defined.

They did a very good job of managing multiple protagonists, come to think of it they couldn't have done it much better but personally I think I prefer just the one protagonist.

One of my favorite games. The soundtrack was so good at the just the right moments, well picked tracks.
Hopefully the wife isn't cutting onions again when I progress through the story this time!

The beauty of Red Dead Redemption is that it's essentially a trilogy trimmed down to fit one game. I could see it as a trilogy of films, with the first ending as Marston captured the first outlaw and riding back to Armadillo, and the second film starting with his being told that he needs to go to Mexico. It also helps that the midfle chapter - Mexico - is quite different to the other two.

Yeah it was a great game, too bad Rockstar didnt have a pc team for this. Would have love to replay it now on pc with modded texture and other enhancement.
I'm very happy it's coming back tho, hopefully the wait wont be too long. The other day while
I dont really mind where and when it stands but I do hope it's a classic western, not too modern. I dont want semi-auto guns or rifle, just winchester and revolver and maybe a gatling or two.

To me, setting is a product of the main thematic concerns of the story. Red Dead Redemption is very much about the death of the Old West, lamenting the lost romanticism of the period, but looking forward to the coming future. Marston is very much a man caught between both worlds, and in order to survive, he has to kill off one self - the irony is that he wants to kill off his violent nature, which is in itself a violent act, and so threatens to kill off his more human side. Each of the three men that he is sent after represent elements of that violent nature: Bill Williamson is his thuggish and impulsive side, Javier is his cowardice and his cunning, and Dutch is his nihilism and desire to live beyond the influence of society.

Fallout might be worth a look. It's free-roam, but there isn't much in the way of hunting. You can, however, get materials from the wildlife for crafting and cooking. And Far Cry 4 has a form of hunting where you harvest skins to craft new equipment (and taking down a rhino with a bow and arrow is fairly awesome). Likewise Rise of the Tomb Raider, but it and Far Cry 4 don't have vast open worlds. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag also has hunting for crafting, and you get to be a pirate.
It's possible that they're looking to include it alongside a single-player campaign. Metal Gear Online 3 shipped with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Original title. I guess they didn't want to go for the almost cliché "another R word".
Certainly makes it sound the same as GTA V basically, single player focused game and then the online portion will take place in the same world. Shame it's a year away though.
Can we recognise anyone in the 'gang'? Warning, 3MB image.

That's a longer wait than i hoped. But at least Rockstar's (single player side) games feel pretty complete when they do hit the shelves.
I wonder if this will be PS4/Xbox One/PC only?
*edit* "Trailer coming Thursday Oct 20th" !!!
Pretty sure the guy 5th from the left is Frank from American Pickers.

As if we couldn't have predicted that!
We're stuck in that halfway house between predicted a title announcement and having no information to go on. I'm not really a fan of all the mental masturbation about what is in the game, what isn't in the game... it's all speculation. We don't really know anything so I don't want to get excited about a 'leaked map'.
This, however:
Not explicitly western but could possibly be set before 1911? Although I wouldn't be surprised if it was set in the 1920s.
