Whether or not this blog entry is the whole truth or credible remains to be seen. Supposedly written by a former Senior Environment Artist on Red Dead Redemption at Rockstar Games, he explains “Life at Rockstar Games.”

This doesn't surprise me. I've worked closely with Rockstar before and have never been impressed with the way they operate. Especially their PR people --whoo that was a nightmare.

Sitris4897d ago

I too have experienced the 'PR' for Rockstar, the were royal A**holes.

I_find_it_funny4897d ago

what a bullshit website, how about a link to a original blog, I don't want to read someone's bullshit comments on the matter.

CrzyFooL4897d ago

An "Undead Nightmare"? :-p

I've heard working at Rockstar NY is cool. I dunno bout SD

Now get back to work and don't come out of your office until the sequel to Red Dead is finished!

"Ex-Rockstar San Diego employee blogs about poor working conditions"

Rumor status: Hopefully

pr0digyZA4897d ago

I won't have prejudgments while this remains a rumour, I'm just wondering why they don't leave seeing as they make some of the best games, I'm sure they could find work quite easily.

RememberThe3574897d ago

The guy mentions that. He talked about how people thought that working conditions weren't really better than anywhere else and that being able to just say that you worked for Rockstar made it worth it.

It's almost sad to read this article.

Lich1204897d ago

Its sad but its getting to the point where the gaming industry needs labor unions similar to film before it spirals out of control.

There are plenty of great studios to work for, the problem is it's usually not the well know ones.

sukas4897d ago

Rockstar should get a award for the worst developer of the year.

I like GTA and all there ohter games but this is no the price worth.

galgor4897d ago

There have been similar stories to this about rockstar in the past. It's no bloody wonder their games take years to come out!

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies122d ago (Edited 2d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1013d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa3d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming35d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long36d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming35d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10135d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor36d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6936d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming35d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno36d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming35d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast50d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg50d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai49d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow
