Looking over the trailer at first glance I'm seeing so much, the environment looks stunning and I was especially impressed by the scale of it all. I can't structure any of what I've seen into a paragraph so I'm just gonna rattle off all the things I've noticed so far. 0:04 - Campfires from Red Dead Redemption used to Save and Fast Travel could possibly be making a return. 0:10 - Very scenic shot of our protagonist Arthur Morgan riding towards what seems to be a small shack and a fire. 0:14 - No clue who this is but judging by what our protagonist says he possibly owes the Van der Linde Gang money and may be avoiding them by living in the wilderness. 0:25 - The way dirt falls off the stagecoach wheels as they turn shows incredible attention to detail. 0:27 - Another shot of Morgan, this time travelling through the centre of an unknown town with various stores and buildings in the background including a Drug Store, Gunsmiths and a Sherriff's Office. I also like the detail that can be seen in the muddy dirt road, puddles forming in the tracks of horses and wagons. 0:32 - Can't make out the name on the grave but the way the sun shines through the trees looks great. 0:34 - This young man being threatened is most likely the son of the woman crying by the grave in the previous shot. 0:35 - Here we get our first close up of Arthur Morgan while he's threatening the son of the dead man he or the Van der Linde Gang could possibly of killed. 0:38 - Seems Rockstar ditched the basic "2" and decided to go with the Roman numerals "II" instead, very similar to Mafia II's colour and style. 0:40 - This shot which is very reminiscent of a scene in the film "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford " shows what I'm assuming to be the Van der Linde Gang laying in wait to rob the train armed with Revolvers and Sawn-Off Shotguns. 0:41 - This next shot which is also reminiscent of the aforementioned film shows Arthur Morgan most likely standing on a makeshift barricade or wagon put in place to stop the train, the sparks of the train stopping look amazing combined with the smoke bellowing out from underneath. 0:43 - Another close up of Morgan, apart from the fire not much is visible behind him which makes me wonder if some form of light will be required to see at night when the moon is obscured. 0:44 - Possibly a later shot of the before seen train robbery shows Morgan pistol-whipping a man to the ground while two men walk towards him with one of them possibly being Bill Williamson judging by the distinctive hat. 0:46 - Great shot of a snow covered forest with tracks being made in the snow and the same Bill Williamson looking character riding rear right. 0:48 - The shadows of the window bars look so sharp in this shot as Morgan throws what I'm assuming to be the Bank Manager through the door. 0:50 - I wanted to focus on Morgan robbing the bank at gun point because it looks really exciting but all I could do was look top right and wonder to myself "Who the hell hangs a photo like that?". 0:51 - This guy looks badass, no clue who he could be but I'm guessing he's in cahoots with Morgan and/or the Van der Linde Gang. 0:53 - Morgan and an accomplice boarding a train as it comes out of a tunnel. 0:57 - A shot of Morgan wearing a bandana but with a different hat and a winter coat as well as some fingerless gloves, he seems to be carrying a Schofield Revolver but it has a different grip from the ones we've seen previously in screenshots so hopefully this means gun customization. 0:58 - Morgan brawling with someone outside a barbers that hopefully we'll be able to use to customize our character. 1:00 - I'm looking forward to seeing animals going after each other this time around instead on constantly going after me. 1:01 - Two men led by Morgan carrying a lantern wade through a swamp possibly in an attempt to sneak up on their enemy. 1:02 - I was pleased to see the bow and arrow make a return from Red Dead Revolver, I'm guessing it'll come in handy during stealth missions and for hunting wild animals although in this shot it seems that he misses his target. 1:06 - Morgan helping his unknown accomplice from 0:53 back onto the train. 1:09 - Stealth takedowns with a knife similar to Red Dead Redemption. 1:10 - Safes being blown open with explosives as Morgan walks away like a badass and as seen in the previous trailer and screenshots we seems to be getting rifle slings instead of back holsters this time around. 1:13 - First look at Dutch who we now know by his rings was the dual wielding gunman in the screenshot we got when the game was delayed. 1:14 - This shot shows Morgan and what appears to be Bill Williamson on the left, I don't know who the guy in the middle is but judging by the fact that he hasn't got a gun, is dressed in fine clothes with a pocket watch and is walking in front of the Morgan and Williamson he may be getting taken hostage. His clothes change throughout the trailer but most of the time it'll be something slight like his coat being removed so I don't know if we're getting layered clothing like GTA or if it'll be outfits like Red Dead Redemption. I think this trailer is great, really gets me excited for the games release in Spring. We know now the voice throughout the first trailer was Morgan's but I still have know idea who he was telling to "run and don't look back" in the first trailer as from the looks of this trailer he's ruthless and cares for money above all else.

"You got some money for me boy?" "I seen your name in our ledger." It would appear that our new character is a bounty hunter/debt collector for Dutch. Another scene shows him threatening to keep a guy's mother as payment for his father's debts. Dutch - "Do you have my bag?" Arthur ; "Always Dutch." I feel like this story may end up being more fulfilling than the last simply because you play as part of the gang and a VERY important role in said gang at that. He appears to be Dutch's right hand man.

"We can't always fight nature, John. We can't fight change. We can't fight gravity. We can't fight nothing. My whole life, all I ever did was fight." "Then give up Dutch!" "But I can't give up neither. I can't fight my own nature. That's the paradox, John, you see?" "Then I have to shoot you." "When I'm gone, they'll just find another monster. They have to. Because they have to justify their wages." "That's their business Dutch." "Our time has passed, John." ---------- END SCENE! I am excited to see old Dutchy boy back in action. His character was one of my favorites from RDR!

CONFIRMED!

I certainly hope Red Dead Redemption 2's Online outshines GTA Online, I personally didn't care too much for GTA Online and preferred Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer. GTA Online feels like a third-person Battlefield game these days with all the military DLC but even before that I wasn't keen on how GTA Online rewarded combat using explosives rather than gunplay and for me Passive Mode felt like a game-breaking exploit which really put me off the game. Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer on the other hand kept explosives to a minimum which encouraged gunplay and using your environment/surroundings to your advantage, I'm hoping to see a return to this type of gameplay. I highly doubt we'll see anything about Red Dead Redemption 2's Online tomorrow but at this point I'm just glad we're finally gonna see something.

I have this bad habit of burying the bodies in the front yard. One day I will get caught. I have to be careful.

LOL I love when people think they are being slick by snagging domains like this. You wasted time and money my dude. They will get it from this guy and he will not be a penny richer. Sucker.

Dutch van der Nietzsche?

I would like to see more open buildings for sure compared to the BS you got in GTA V. Like what was the point of having a major city when you couldn't actually go into most of the buildings.
