I'm actually surprised that Rockstar actually manged to get a sequel out of the original seeing as the original was about the end of the Old West. Unless of course, this game turns out to be prequel - which is pretty much the only route Rockstar can take with this new game. And the notion of a prequel seems suggestive in this image:

From the looks of it, this new game does seem to resemble a prequel and it looks like it will focus on Dutch's gang. The four men from the left resemble, in order, John Marston, Javier Escuella, Bill Williamson and Dutch.
I like the idea of a 'Magnificent Seven' vibe Rockstar have got going here and it would be interesting to see the background of these characters (not to mention the three newcomers) but would it be enough to sway me back to the console camp........?
But of course, all of this is speculative. As always, once the trailer is revealed details may become a little clearer. But knowing what trailers are like, they might not.
