Red Dead Redemption cast take notes from the Persona 4 school of early announcement teasers with Arthur Morgan's actor now seemingly confirming Red Dead news

It's seemingly increasingly likely that Red Dead Redemption fans have something to be excited about, as another actor from the series has teased an upcoming announcement of some sort. Late last week, John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff broke the internet while streaming Red Dead Redemption as he teased that he's "got such exciting news" he can't currently share. Whatever it is, he suggested we should probably find out soon: "By the end of this week, hopefully sooner... definitely before Friday." How mysterious. Obviously, everyone immediately began speculating that it could be something Red Dead Redemption-related, whether that could possibly be a next-gen update for RDR2, a Switch 2 port, or something else entirely. Curiously, he also mentioned that he "won't be the only one sharing" the news, and now, Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan actor, Roger Clark, claims he's also in the know. Asked on Twitter if he knows "what the Red Dead news is Rob mentioned," Clark simply says "yes," sharing a GIF of a dog giving a smug smile. Although he's not revealed exactly what the news is, it looks like he might have given something away by the fact that he was specifically asked about some "Red Dead news," and still responded with a metaphorical thumbs up. Even though fans quickly made the assumption, Wiethoff never actually said out loud that his announcement would be related to the series, so it appears that Clark may have inadvertently confirmed that. It really feels like the pair are taking notes from the Persona 4 cast, of which three actors (from the original game and the Golden re-release) ended up speaking publicly about not returning to the JRPG's remake… before Persona 4 Revival was actually announced. Needless to say, the remake's reveal wasn't exactly a shock when it was finally shown, but it was very good news nonetheless. Now, it's Red Dead Redemption fans' time to wait and see what the two actors are teasing. If Wiethoff's original statement holds up, we'll hopefully find out by the end of the week. 15 years later, Red Dead Redemption's John Marston is playing the open-world cowboy game for the first time and reveals why "John is screaming at people for no reason" when riding a horse.

Red Dead Redemption's John Marston actor tries to calm fans down after having "possibly misled" them with his "exciting news" teaser: "I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Red Dead Redemption's John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff has attempted to calm fans down again after he teased some "exciting news" coming this week while playing through the 2010 action-adventure he stars in, now reminding everyone that "I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games." Previously, the stars seemed to be aligning for some sort of Red Dead Redemption-related announcement. Not only did Wiethoff say that "cannot think about anything else, especially playing this game" during his stream, but asked if he knew "what the Red Dead news is Rob mentioned," Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark said "yes," seemingly confirming it really is something to do with the series. Now though, in a new livestream on his YouTube channel (highlighted by @jonbranham_ on Twitter), Wiethoff says that while "I do have something I'm really excited about, I truly am, and I think you will be too," he now realises that he "possibly misled some people when I announced that I have something to announce that I can't talk about right now. "Just please recognize – and I know that you know this, but let me remind you, I guess – I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games. We all know that, I'm just reminding you I do not make announcements for Rockstar Games. Rockstar Games makes announcements for Rockstar Games, and they don't use me to do that," he laughs. "So please know that, and again I still think that a lot of you are going to be really excited about this news, absolutely." Wiethoff says he still "can't share it with you yet, and I'm so sorry" about that, but assuming his original teaser still holds up, we should be finding out whatever it is in the next few days. Again, Clark's previous comment does indicate that there's something related to Red Dead going on, but anyone hoping for something like a remake, port, or new game should probably temper their expectations at this point. 15 years later, Red Dead Redemption's John Marston is playing the open-world cowboy game for the first time and reveals why "John is screaming at people for no reason" when riding a horse.

Red Dead Redemption star Rob Wiethoff shuts down Rockstar speculation
Source: Rockstar Games Red Dead Redemption series' iconic John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff has finally confirmed that his recent "exciting" reveal has nothing to do with Rockstar Games. His remarks followed public fan speculation that tied his tease to potential news regarding Red Dead Redemption 2 updates or future Rockstar endeavors. But Wiethoff put all speculation to rest, making sure fans wouldn't jump to conclusions. Rob Wiethoff assures no connection between his statement and Rockstar Games On a recent stream while playing Red Dead Redemption, Wiethoff teased impending news he called "exciting" and said would be announced "before Friday." That short tease sparked a flurry of online conjecture, particularly with his intimate connection with Rockstar and the timing with other Rockstar-specific rumors. But then Wiethoff went on to release a straight-up clarification. "I don't make announcements for Rockstar Games," he said. "Rockstar Games makes announcements for Rockstar Games. And they don't use me to do that." He did acknowledge that his tease might have inadvertently done some fueling of fan theory, but that his news has nothing to do with Rockstar or one of their games. His remark was intended to soothe hopes for announcements on Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA VI, or any remastered versions, none of which, he claims, are connected to his own update. Fan buzz and community reaction to the misunderstanding Fans were quick to put two and two together, assuming Wiethoff's revelation was a tease for a possible next-gen iteration of Red Dead Redemption 2 or some unknown Rockstar revelation. That notion was then further fueled when Roger Clark, the actor behind Arthur Morgan's voice, played coy with the hype, appearing to know exactly what Wiethoff was alluding to. As gossip started gaining momentum on the social media and forums, Wiethoff's clarification was important so that it did not build false hopes. His announcement diverted fans to trace official channels from Rockstar for real game-related information. Rob Wiethoff's excitement ignited colossal interest, but his follow-up left no doubt: the news has nothing to do with Rockstar Games. As the speculation dissipates, fans are reminded to keep their feet on the ground and wait patiently for the official Rockstar channel to provide updates on Red Dead, GTA, or whatever is next.

15 years later, Red Dead Redemption's John Marston is playing the open-world cowboy game for the first time and reveals why "John is screaming at people for no reason" when riding a horse
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Rob Wiethoff, the man who plays John Marston in Red Dead Redemption, is finally playing the game for the first time ever, live streaming the PC version of the RPG for our entertainment. As part of that, he has revealed why John seems to be shouting every time he's riding with someone on horseback, even if they're right next to him. "We did performance capture for this game too, but during moments like this, when you're riding with someone, riding and talking, this was actually recorded in a sound booth," Wiethoff explains. Now, I know Weithoff is the actor for John, but it's uncanny how much he just naturally sounds like him. I always assumed he was putting on a voice when he was actually working on John, but now I think that's just how he talks. "What I have seen on here, which is so funny, is that John is screaming at people, for no reason sometimes [...] I remember them saying, 'You have to say your lines in a way that they would definitely be heard even if you are riding at a full gallop next to a freight train in a thunderstorm.' So just really scream them out loud because you definitely want the other person to hear you." As an open world game with dynamic weather and day and night cycles, there really could be times when that exact scenario was happening, so John would need to be shouting to be heard. But it doesn't make much sense for him to be screaming when you're trotting next to someone on a nice sunny day. "But that was before [Rockstar] had the technology they have now, where if you're within a certain distance, the game knows it somehow and it will use the quieter version," Wiethoff says. "So in the second game we recorded everything twice, in this game we just did it once. John Marston John Marstoning from r/reddeadredemption As well as regaling us with tales of how the game was made, it turns out Weitoff's a real-life cowboy, because he shoots a hat out of the air without dead eye in the tutorial level for the game's iconic mechanic. "Come on, throw it!" he shouts just before a character tosses their hat in the air. Then, without using dead eye like he's supposed to, he simply aims up and shoots the thing. "Oh ho hooooo, I thought I missed it," he shouts excitedly. Maybe the loudness in the first game isn't actually due to technical reasons after all. After that trip down memory lane, check out our list of the best retro games of all time.

While streaming Red Dead Redemption, John Marston's actor teases "exciting news" coming this week and he "cannot wait for you to know what's going on"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Rob Wiethoff - the voice of gruff outlaw John Marston in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 - teased that some big news is coming our way very soon while live streaming the first cowboy game. After 15 entire years, Wiethoff finally decided to pick up the controller and play Red Dead Redemption for the very first time for our entertainment, all while giving us little behind-the-scenes anecdotes. But in a recent stream, instead of reminiscing, Wiethoff took a few moments to tease the audience about something coming in the future. "I've got such exciting news," he said in the clip embedded below. "I can't share it with you right now, and it's absolutely killing me. By the end of this week, hopefully sooner... definitely before Friday. Oh my goodness! The news that I have to share, and I won't be the only one sharing it. I cannot wait for you to know what's going on, and that's all I can say. That's the only thing I can think about right now, and you'll know soon enough. I can't wait for you to know." i wonder what this could mean? from r/reddeadredemption Of course, that could be about anything, but then, the actor went on to say that he "cannot think about anything else, especially playing this game, I can't think of anything else." That last bit gave some fans hope that whatever's coming next for Wiethoff could be something Red Dead Related or, at least, cowboy adjacent. My best guess is as good as yours, though. A next-gen update for Red Dead Redemption 2 is well overdue, I guess, alongside a potential Nintendo Switch 2 port. That aside, I can't imagine Rockstar Games has space for a big new project in the lead up to the behemoth that is GTA 6. Don't write off a Red Dead Redemption 2 remake or remaster, Arthur Morgan actor says: "We've already started to see it for GTA 5 and the original"
