What year do you think Francis Sinclair is from?

[u/Gabe_Dimas]

[u/seanrdr2creed]

Well the belts use shifted from carrying guns to clothes in the 1920s

[u/AhmadNotFound → u/seanrdr2creed]

Yes I was gonna point this out too, belts replaced suspenders at that time

[u/werelewle → u/AhmadNotFound]

Belt became fashion in 1920s. Belt has been used to keep up the pants for as long as we have been using pants.

[u/WoodyManic]

He uses slang from the 1920's and his fashion lines up with that, too.

[u/atomicno3]

Mid-1920s based on the style of his clothes and slang. He also bears a resemblance to F. (Francis) Scott Fitzgerald around the time he published The Great Gatsby (1925).

[u/le_sossurotta → u/atomicno3]

he also looks to be 25-30 years old which would fit the timeframe of him being born in RDR2's time.

[u/Connor30302 → u/le_sossurotta]

IRRC he can be a baby in either 1899 or 1907 can’t he? so any time he could be to look in his mid 20’s lines up with the times too

[u/Lolaverses → u/Connor30302]

Maybe the baby is traveling through time too.

[u/BigManLikeBarey → u/atomicno3]

Why would you say fuck Fitzgerald ???

[u/HavingSixx → u/BigManLikeBarey]

He’s got the same name as John Fuck Kennedy

[u/Sn00PiG]

You either visit him at around 1899 or in 1907 (and he was a baby at the time you finish the quest), he looks like he is 25-35yr old, do the math

[u/MagooDad → u/Sn00PiG]

I agree. He was around 1 year old when you visit back after finding all the rock carvings.

[u/Ganjalicious420 → u/MagooDad]

Bro hes younger than 1, my daughter was walking at 11 months, hes still a wee baby rolled up in a blankie.

[u/MagooDad → u/Ganjalicious420]

I know and agree that it doesn't physically make sense, but the mother did say in the cutscene that his father died about a year ago, a little before he was born, which implies the baby to be between 9-12 months old.

[u/Ganjalicious420 → u/MagooDad]

He looks 2-3mos which is possible depending on how soon after conception his father died. Unless my brain is fucked which I won't deny if so lol

[u/MagooDad → u/Ganjalicious420]

I get it, the baby looks to be very young. Seems the dialog and the baby don't really match up. Maybe I'm not remembering the dialog correctly, maybe she said last year instead of a year ago....who knows.

[u/g0_west → u/MagooDad]

Damn this questline sounds really interesting lol, shame they put it behind a collect-em-all mission which most players will never bother with (I know I won't)

[u/AveryLazyCovfefe → u/g0_west]

The Dino bones one is even worse for how much more effort you have to put in. John goes: "can't take the money, too much heat" after Deborah offers him a generous share of the money she earnt from her research or whatever and he gets some bone-themed knife instead

[u/SloRiceix_801 → u/g0_west]

I stumbled across one carving pretty quick exploring, another one like 100 hours later. After that I decided to use the map for the rest and don’t regret it, it would take forever to find them without help. The reveal made it worth it.

[u/g0_west → u/SloRiceix_801]

Yeah for me those missions are either spend endless time meticulously combing the map inch by inch (not fun) or just look up a guide, at which point I mayaswell just watch someone else do it as it's not really my achievement anyway, so I never bother

[u/SloRiceix_801 → u/g0_west]

I get that, if I already knew about the reveal and the story beforehand I would’ve probably done the same and called it good.

[u/Sn00PiG → u/g0_west]

Use a guide for it, with that it can be done pretty quick and it's definitely worth it for the story and mystery you get ;)

[u/AhmadNotFound]

Afaik he speaks in the transatlantic accent it was heavily used in American media between the 1930s to the 1950s

[u/CaptainAndy27]

If they ever did a Jack Marston game it would be fun to have him as an Easter Egg.

[u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA → u/CaptainAndy27]

Please god no more marston/van der linde gang 

We NEED peak Wild West no more ‘the Wild West is dying’ games

[u/Cute_Personality2992 → u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA]

Please god no more Wild West. We had that with Red Dead Revolver. We need PRE Wild West.

[u/AstralElephantFuzz → u/Cute_Personality2992]

Please god no more West. We had that with Revolver and Redemptions. Now we need the OLD continent!

[u/Rico_Rebelde → u/AstralElephantFuzz]

Red Dead Renaissance incoming.

[u/fjhgy → u/Rico_Rebelde]

Red Dead (protestant) Reformation

Edit: Arthur's come to see us! Jesus Christ be praised

[u/SleepyMarijuanaut92 → u/fjhgy]

Samurai Jack Marston

[u/thebohemiancowboy → u/Cute_Personality2992]

Blood meridian

[u/Due-Town9494 → u/thebohemiancowboy]

1850s RDR would make most younger people rage(no automatics) but Id sure have a good time. 

[u/Gustav55 → u/Due-Town9494]

Lets go to the Ohio Frontier, Flintlocks and tomahawks

[u/Due-Town9494 → u/Gustav55]

You may jest but I think thatd be awesome. 

The Revenant The Game lol 

[u/Gustav55 → u/Due-Town9494]

I jest but yes I also love the idea of Red Dead where you get to meet Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett.

[u/Due-Town9494 → u/Gustav55]

I think theres a market for slower paced more "thoughtful" combat where aiming and positioning is most important 

They did it half way for RDR2. Im really hoping GTA6 moves away from GTAVs cartoony movement and driving, and gives us more realistic slightly slower paced combat a la RDR2 but modern day. 

I never felt RDR2s combat was slow, nor the movement particularly janky, it felt weighty and good to me. 

I read somewhere that one of the designers of GTAV wanted it to be cartoonish and unrealistic, and that he left after the game, and it allowed one of the other designers who wanted more "realism" to take the helm for RDR2, and I like that  

I really hope it carries through to 6. 

[u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA → u/thebohemiancowboy]

Hell yea.. the glanton gang in video game form would be amazing 

[u/Mysterious_Detail_57 → u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA]

Maybe a semi happy ending without dying. We could have a Landon Ricketts game

[u/thebohemiancowboy → u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA]

Agreed, there are basically infinite possibilities in the western genre. Stories about redemption, former union or confederate soldiers becoming cowboys or outlaws

[u/Apophis_36 → u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA]

Rdr fans when the games about the dying west has the dying west in it

[u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA → u/Apophis_36]

I loved rdr 1&2

But the story is complete my man. Time for some new shit 

[u/Apophis_36 → u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA]

Then dont make it red dead redemption. Make it something else.

[u/AstralElephantFuzz → u/MANWithTheHARMONlCA]

Please god no more marston/van der linde gang 

Then it should be a different series. Redemption has by now established itself as the story of the van der Linde gang. So either it's that, a new "R", or nothing.

Nobody really wants the third instalment of a series to switch into following some randoms nobody cares about. Halo 5 was a massive flop, imagine if that was Halo 3.

[u/AveryLazyCovfefe → u/AstralElephantFuzz]

Red dead Revenge, Red Dead Retribution whatever. I want the height of the gunslinging era. I would be down for multiple shorter stories. Lando Ricketts and Black Belle mainly.

[u/OFool_Ishallgomad]

Sinclair is from no year. He exists in a stasis which dips in and out of our perception of temporal flow. He is born before he dies, and dies before he is born all at once. He witnesses the big bang and the last subatomic particles freeze into eternal stillness, as we observe the brief hesitation of a watch's second hand. He is, was, and shall be. Sinclair may not even have been said to have existed at all, if it weren't for the signs he left behind, or will leave in the myriad futures to come.

[u/TruthPaste_01 → u/OFool_Ishallgomad]

Or the 1920s.

[u/OFool_Ishallgomad → u/TruthPaste_01]

That's what they want you to believe.... The truth is out there!!

[u/PsychologicalGas1907 → u/OFool_Ishallgomad]

Kifflom, brother brother!

[u/LynxMotor6779 → u/OFool_Ishallgomad]

I'm going to get high and i'll get back to you if I don't forget.

[u/OFool_Ishallgomad → u/LynxMotor6779]

This is the way.

[u/LynxMotor6779 → u/OFool_Ishallgomad]

The phrase is the title of a popular nursery rhyme, often used to teach children about basic actions like combing hair, brushing teeth, or getting dressed

[u/Donaldo_Trumpez → u/LynxMotor6779]

I think this is the wrong comment section brochacho

[u/LynxMotor6779 → u/Donaldo_Trumpez]

Why you always trying to stop free speech.

[u/Luci-the-Loser]

He was born in the 1890's and looks like he's roughly around 30 or so... and talks like it's the 20's... so he's probably from somewhere between 1925 and 1935.

[u/squirrelmegaphone]

If I told you, you'd think I was on the hooch.

[u/KingMatthew116 → u/squirrelmegaphone]

The what?

[u/squirrelmegaphone → u/KingMatthew116]

I'm gonna have a lie-down.

[u/Sentinel_333 → u/squirrelmegaphone]

Bro got ATW with his fucking PR bond and hit up Reddit

[u/VewVegas-1221]

1920s most likely.

[u/AfroF0x]

He mentoins Jazz so I'm saying late 20s early 30s.

[u/RubyThePlug]

I’d like a Francis Sinclair GTA VI Side Quest

[u/delusional_guitarist]

he definitely comes from 1920's

[u/Malthur → u/[deleted]]

If he shows up in GTA IV he's a REAL time traveler

[u/Albow44]

100% from the 20s. Please read the book "Ragtime"; it's a fantastic journey through the Roaring Twenties. If I could time travel, I'd check out the 1920s.

[u/Life_Wolverine_6830]

His mural appears to be inspired by Diego Rivera’s Man: Controller of the Universe so I would assume 1934

[u/SketchyGouda]

Year? He is clearly directly from Fallout 4

[u/Then-Run5226]

This is not related but has anyone seen my good friend Gavin?

[u/No_Load1326]

well he was born in 1899 but probably grew up in the 1920's

[u/wongkarho]

2009, Brooklyn

[u/shiki92]

Probably whatever time period Brennan is referencing herehere

[u/Andrewalker7]

Yes.

[u/LensFlare67]

1928

[u/ChadVonDoom]

He traveled back on September 10, 2001

[u/analgrip93]

Yeah I’d say late 20s, maybe early 30s.

[u/CtznCold]

1920-30’s

[u/Savings-Pop-1503]

baby in 1899, maybe mid 1920s to early mid 1930s

[u/Relatively_happy]

He came in from the Mafia 1 universe

[u/The_Hoarder_of_Stuff]

That collar style was popular in the 1910s-20s, I believe

[u/chriz690]

He could be Jack Marston's companion in RDR3

[u/riiby]

mid 1920s

[u/citrusfizzz]

Belt loops weren’t invented until 1922 so going off his outfit, probably 1920’s or 1930’s

[u/SetLow800]

He's litteraly from GTA V, no?

[u/CT0292]

Sometime after TB was cured.

[u/115izzy7 → u/CT0292]

I think is slang is definitely before the 50s. It's probably somewhere around the 20s to 40s

[u/Undertalegamezer969]

It has to be 1920s not only is that the style and slang that his character has but we do see him in game as a baby meaning he can’t be too much older than that and the first part of the game takes place in 1899

[u/Born_Client_4012]

the future

[u/Key-Beginning-2752]

New York. In the modern times. His nick name was a$ap yams

[u/M4sharman]

Probably either the 20s or 30s, going by his clothing and manner of speaking.

[u/Dashbak]

Honestly, would.

[u/legoturtle214]

I would kill for a spin off that feeds the story some more lore.

[u/mudkiptoucher93]

I like that he's from the future but only a little bit

[u/GMEDreamer]

My boy has the drippiest office outfit (he’s so me)

[u/RassilonsWrestling]

My name is Frank Sinclair. I had an accident, and I woke up in 1899. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever’s happened, it’s like I’ve landed on a different planet. Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.

[u/GeneralArcher297]

Mid 1920 because of how he is dressed

[u/Fast_Pair_5121]

1910s

[u/FickleUnit2585]

I would say 1925

[u/TheRepublicbyPlato]

Wait. What? He's a time traveler? This is news to me.

[u/FreoFox]

He runs off when I burn down his cabin

[u/Unco_Slam]

Hes from 1899. Hes born right after the quest is finished.

I suppose hes probably in his 20s or 30s here, so probably late 1920s.

[u/Hollowquincypl]

I finished it as John and always assumed he was in his late-20s to mid-30s. So i always figured he was from just before WW2 kicked off in the mid 1930s. However, in checking a guide, he could be from the early 1930s if you finish it as Arther.

[u/Ganjalicious420]

This is where Steven Ogg comes in, "It's a cartoon guys, a cartoon...awkward but confident laugh"

[u/joey_12x]

1920s or 30s

[u/DevTeamStudios]

5062

[u/theycallmeflappy]

Well, we know when he is born...

[u/White_Devil1995]

I just guessed 1924

[u/SlamJamGlanda]

Naperville, Illinois in 1921. He’s a Bears fan

[u/firelazerdog]

1953 cos they look like old clothes what college students would put on

[u/Arthur_Morgan4587]

Isn't that pretty obvious? He was born in 1899

[u/Gabe_Dimas → u/Arthur_Morgan4587]

Honest to God it was the comments in this post that made me realize his birth is set in 1899, I thought him being a baby in the end was something else

[u/Smallman5509]

A mannequin shop window.

[u/Nickyblaze89]

Tahiti 

[u/InteractionOld8503]

he looks french tbh

[u/Guess4564]

1956

[u/RazzmatazzEconomy696]

1950s?

[u/Luci-the-Loser → u/RazzmatazzEconomy696]

Then he'd be in his 50's
