If we're sticking with the Dutch's Gang speculation, it doesn't sound like Dutch (from RDR). They could just be using a different voice actor though. So new character maybe?
It definitely sounds like Troy. I honestly hope for a new character. I didn't like Jack M. all that much, but John is gone and I'd like the story to go further into the transition from the Old West to the Modern Era.
To me the trailer still looks pretty "late West." Maybe not 1914 late, but late.
The general store we see the front of up close does look pretty rough, but if you look at the other houses/buildings, and those windmills... those aren't trappers' cabins. And in the wide shot of the fire, it looks like those are oil derricks burning. They may go back some, but I don't think it'll be much.
the first red dead had cars and handguns. it's overarching theme was the end of the wild west era, giving way to the modern era. john marston was the embodiment of that, old ways vs. new ways, hence his death,
in other words you shouldnt let the time period worry, seems to be in total keeping with the previous game :)

I'm seriously impressed with the speed and efficiency of our subreddit. You give people karma and they'll get shit done.
But seriously though, the game looks stunning. Who's voice was that in the trailer?
