3. John Marston!

And now we have the most awesome moment from the trailer: the confirmation that, yes, John freaking Marston will appear in the game. He's shown being held up at knife-point by some rather hoity-toity-looking gentlemen, who beg Dutch and Morgan to come out and face them, while Morgan seems conflicted over his choice.

Don't feel bad if it took you a moment to recognise Marston: he's of course over a decade younger than in the previous game, though still best distinguished by the signature facial scars on the right-hand side of his face.

It'll be interesting to see how significant his role in the game is: is it just a glorified cameo, or will he be along for a major chunk of the ride? Fingers crossed for the latter!
