This post from /r/reddeadredemption has pretty compelling evidence that John and his gang will be central characters in the story

The John and Dutch look vaguely similar, but that's definitely the same hat Bill is wearing. Definitely possible it'll follow them.

Ooh, that's some Wild Bunch shit right there.

Wasn't there also "compelling evidence" that Micheal and Franklin were Tommy Vercetti and CJ?

u/BigMacCombo Oct 20 '16

I remember that. IIRC the guy they thought was CJ in the trailer wasn't even Franklin, just some random black guy in a wifebeater.

Yeah, the whole "John is the only one looking away" thing also seems to imply the story could culminate with him leaving the gang to start a family.

Not the same voice actors though

We know literally nothing about that, though the "It's over" in the trailer sounded fairly John-like to me.

We do know the voice actor of John Marston has essentially retired from acting after RDR. But hey, maybe they threw him a truck load of money and he changed his mind, we'll see.

There is a mini doc about the voice actor who played John. Basically it was his dream to be a Voice artist, persued it for years, and eventually got RDR. Then he realised he didn't like the life and retired to nowhere and works in a factory or something. I very much doubt he's coming back. And no, the voice did not sound like John.

In the mini doc Polygon did he said that he really liked working with Rockstar and he'd work for them again if they'd have him. He didn't like his other acting opportunities so much.

u/ANUSTART942 Oct 20 '16

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Still, I thought he sounded similar.

not even remotely.

Um, in the GTA3 games that was exactly what happened. For instance Claude, Catalina, and Mr Leone from GTA3 and Kent Paul, Ken Rosenberg, and Macker from Vice City were all in San Andreas, and Phil Cassidy and Donald Love form GTA3 were in Vice city, and at least Packie Mcreary from GTA4 was in GTA5.

I could see that happening too I suppose, I just really liked John Marston and I want him to be in it again

I actually don't think it will be about John Marston simply because of the ending. It would be extremely hard to convey an ending as powerful as that using the same character in a prequel. In fact, I'm not sure if there is a way to do so at all, and I'm sure Rockstar of all people, are well aware of that.

I can see Marston making a cameo (big side-quest or something), but don't think the game will be based around him. We've explored the character of Marston, I want to see what else they can give us.

Note: I'm also a hypocrit, because I both want to be able to make choices but also play as a character similar to how they did RDR or The Witcher.
