Red Dead Redemption 2: Ubisoft thanks Rockstar Games for the delay

Ubisoft doesn’t hide the satisfaction of Red Dead Redemption 2 delay announce from Take-Two and Rockstar Games

[Relientk77]

I'd be happy too if I was Ubisoft. Rockstar are direct and big competition for them in open world games

[XanderZane]

I agree with Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick that it doesn't matter when they release Red Dead Redemption 2, because it's going to fly off retail shelves no matter what month it's released it. The first game was a masterpiece. gotta make 2 days free when this game comes out so I can indulge in it's glory.

[Z501]

Just don't take time off for the multiplayer. Remember GTA5 online first week?

[XanderZane]

@Z501
I'm not even thinking about the multiplayer mode. I'll be playing the SP until I've completed the game.

[2pacalypsenow]

SquareEnix should of done the same.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Based on which game?

[2pacalypsenow]

Tomb Raider releasing at the same time as Fallout 4

[_-EDMIX-_]

@2pac- those are two vastly different games though.

[2pacalypsenow]

Right but RDR 2 is a much bigger game, any game releasing on that same day will suffer.

The New Far Cry could be in space and it would still suffer.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@2pac- OH I see what you mean.

In regards to just general releases.

[rainslacker]

Two totally different games, but MS had the marketing rights to both, and pretty much threw Square Enix under the bus with their marketing of ROTTR once they secured FO4.

MS got a good year...if that...of ways to hype it's system over PS4, and then didn't give two sh*ts once UC4 got delayed.

Square Enix should have thanked Sony for delaying UC4, but completely raked MS over the coals for how they handled the marketing for ROTTR. MS taking on FO4 marketing when it had the same release date as ROTTR is just unethical IMO.

[GamesMaster1982]

Makes no difference when it comes out Because once it does it will eat every other game for breakfast and Rockstar knows it. So every other developer id be very scared if i were you.

[JackTheLiz]

The 90s are truly back.

[2pacalypsenow]

I wish

[HaveSumNuts]

If the 90's were back there would be no DLC

[2pacalypsenow]

No but there would Expansion packs. Which were awesome.

[FlameWater]

Remember that trash talking poster Ubisoft made for Watch Dogs, "two months are enough to visit San Andreas, Come to Chicago Nov 21" I guess the foot must still be stuck in the mouth

[deafdani]

I honestly didn't take that as trash talking. If anything, I thought it was the opposite: an acknowledgement that GTA is so big, everyone was going to be playing it, and that they can enjoy another "big" open world game a couple months later.

[SarcasticDuck]

since Ubisoft is all about releasing unfinished games every year to make money, it doesn't matter when RDR2 comes out, it will hurt the sales of one of their titles!

[MegamanXXX]

I really hope Rockstar makes a PC version in the future

[OffRoadKing]

lol, got to admire his honesty.

[Max-Zorin]

A new Splinter Cell, is long overdue.

[Psychotica]

Even if Red Dead Redemption 2, Far Cry 5 and the next Assassin's Creed came out the same day I would just buy them all..

[BrettAwesome]

Yes!! That's it! ^___^ I'm buying them all too! Being an adult with money totally ROCKS!! Battlefront2? $$$ CoD? $$$ lost legacy? $$$ aaaand a crate of Kentucky red eye, just for good measure

[Psychotica]

true, though going to work does suck..
