Yes the thoughts are it will be a prequel set 15 years before RDR. Have to say it is my favourite all time game...mind you I don't play many. I love the old western films and this played nicely to that genre. I even used to love just sitting on my horse watching the sun rise/set over the landscape. It had a surprising end that somehow summed up the passing of the old west.
