Simply put, a robust single-player. I know that Rockstar is exploring the online route given the success of GTA V but I don't want that to come at the cost of the single-player.

Just another great game that cuts down on the tedious tasks while subsequently providing that epic feeling of playing in an open world incarnation of the Wild West. I also hope that it is not a direct follow up to Marston's story from the first game, instead introducing new characters and narratives similar to how the numbered GTA games do it.

I'd honestly enjoy the same mechanics as in the last game, with a new story and setting. I don't recall ever getting bored with Redemption. To see a sequel running as well as GTA V does on the PS4 would be fantastic. Don't fix what ain't broke!

Not looking for any major changes to single player. Echoing others, I'd like to see a completely new story with nothing more than a RDR cameo here or there. As far as multiplayer goes, I'd like to see Rockstar Games get creative. It would be really easy to do a bandits vs. lawmen or canyon horse racing modes and stop but I want to see something bigger. Hopefully, they take what they learned with GTA Online and take it took the next level.

Personally? I'm expecting more of Red Dead Redemption, but with more social aspect integrated in, as well as more refined side missions, encounters, and gameplay.

Of course, I fully expect it to look fantastic, with the PS4 Pro magic giving it an added layer of awesomeness.

I admit, I didn't finish RDR, but I'm looking to amend that with RDR2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 should make use of the current-gen tech to really bring the world to life. Happily, the first trailer hints at this, focusing on the wildlife and then the people populating the game.

I'd like RDR2 to have a similar tone to the original, with as good a story and combat. Oh, and let's include a first-person mode from the get-go, huh Rockstar?
