Can not wait.

No...have haven't seen the trailer yet.

It's weird.  I can't say I am a fan of westerns.  When I was a kid and I wound up watching Gunsmoke, I was usuallybored out of my mind.  But I loved Tombstone...and that one with Hackman and Freeman.

But I haven't delved too much into the Western genre of videogames.

I played Gun briefly, but that's about it.

You play Gun?  How does RDR compare to it?

Gun... that's quite the throwback. Very similar games.
And well... it's a matter of tastes I suppose. A lot of people will argue it back and forth. GUN was released around the same time as Red Dead Revolver and GUN was better than that game for sure. Personally if you liked GUN I don't know why you wouldn't like RDR
GUN was released after San Andreas and seemed to lack in the large world they were starting to come out with at the time. 

If you're familiar with GTA and how massive and expansive it has gotten over the years that is where RDR2 comes in. It's massive. And if you're not into westerns you probably won't like it, unless you're a hardcore GTA player and can look beyond the look and style of the game.

Personally I love games like GUN, Red Dead, and Call of Juarez (which is much more FPS/Western) and find them all enjoyable for different aspects.
And of course, Red Dead II is just so pretty. It reminds me of when GTA V first came out, how excited it made me lol
