Prior to the game's release, some analysts were skeptical that a Western-themed title could be a breakout success, but Red Dead is proving to be a blockbuster in every sense of the word.
It seems the game is just what publisher Take-Two needed. The company has often been labeled as nothing more than a GTA publisher, but Red Dead now gives Take-Two another solid IP to lean on. Mike Hickey of Janco Partners commented that Red Dead is "significantly exceeding our expectations and demonstrating the creative genius layered deeply within the Rockstar studio structure. We believe the franchise can be successfully iterated every several years and offers the Company a new mega franchise."
Indeed, Red Dead's success could allow Take-Two to actually post a profitable non-GTA year, commented Ben Schachter of Broadpoint AmTech.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Take-Two head Strauss Zelnick has denied closing Rollerdrome developer Roll7 or Kerbal Space Program 2 studio Intercept Games.
That's hilarious because he did and said the same thing with 2K Marin who developed Bioshock 2
They've been closed since 2013 but not officially acknowledged
He just doesn't want the backlash so pretends there's no issue.
Rockstar Games may be preparing to release its open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 1, on PC.
There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.
Just wait until Agent is released.
they could make it ps3 exclusive considering EVERY ps3 has a harddrive and utilise bluray so they can stream much larger maps and therefore make the true next-gen gta that they desire
but common sense tells me that profits come before their ambitions therefore making it multiplatform and inturn reducing their scope and ambition seems more logical as developing games is so expensive these days
the only analyst who said it would flop was pachter.
sorry to break it to our so call journalist these days but read dead aint new it was the ps2 and xbox and the 1st one was a hit most of rockstars franshises is a hit. why they think it was gonna be diffent for the sequel its the same foundation
Ok i was all for this game until it recently got extremely boring...if more game modes don't come out then i wont be playing this anymore.
