Rockstar's Red Dead Twitter teaser sends fans into overdrive

It's only a tweet, but a simple logo on a red background is all it takes to give Red Dead fans a reason to smile

Dust down your six shooters, saddle up the mare, and get ready for another instalment of Red Dead action - Rockstar's hype train has left the station.

The firm tweeted a simple Rockstar logo on a red background followed by a homage to Magnificent 7 a bit later on, and the firm's 7.5 Twitter followers promptly went ballistic.

Rockstar The name's John Marston... and his story will be continued in a prequel

We've speculated along with the best on the possibilities for a new John Marston story - but this is the first time Rockstar themselves have made overt indications.

Let's hope it's a true new John Marston story, not just a remaster. If so, without going into the story of Red Dead Redemption, it's safe to say it will be a prequel.
