Red Dead Redemption 2 Looks More Likely Than Ever

Red Dead Redemption 2 is bound to happen sooner or later, with Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick branding the original game as part of a "permanent franchise".

urwifeminder3676d ago

Going to be a cheap gen for me if everything is open world and sequel I think crackdown is the only one I ever finished they take so long I get distracted and move on to something else usually.

ATi_Elite3676d ago

sure we all have different game taste and i understand your points for not liking open world games but for $60 they give you the most for your cash.

ginsunuva3676d ago (Edited 3676d ago )

Open world games don't automatically give you most for your cash. Metal Gear, Uncharted 2/3, TLOU, Warhawk, & LBP2 (they all just coincidentally happen to be ps3 games) have all given me more value for money than pretty much every game ever, since I value quality > quantity.

They might give you more filler missions which make the game seem longer to you. Or randomly template-generated stuff like Skyrim.

Some open world games give you "lots" of content, but that content is usually low-quality, and you don't use half of it. Like Costco.

Plus, games aren't always $60 forever.

AliTheSnake13676d ago (Edited 3676d ago )

How about Bully ?

I'm curious how this new red dead would be. I mean how can you top John Marston ? How can you top his story ? You can't. It was the perfect western anti-hero story.

LackTrue4K3676d ago

Make this game next-gen!!!!

I miss my old PlayStation 3 cuz if this game and Borderlands 2

ScamperCamper3676d ago

People buy into hype like never before. This: http://www.reddeadrebellion... I'm just going to say that yeah, Rockstar has already mentioned that the series is pretty much permanent. In that sense, this isn't new or revealing. To me, it's like a way to throw everyone off. Talk RDR2, then surprise! Here's Agent! Who knows, but to me this story is much ado about nothing. I can't see them releasing a new Red Dead already. Too many games to come out. They need a fresh franchise imo.

seanpitt233676d ago

They know where the money is gta and red dead are guaranteed to sell 10s of millions of copies. I would expect red dead 3 to release next year that would mean 5 years after red dead redemption.

Haki11123676d ago

Rdr was the game I really suggest picking this up!

Yeah I own a great many deal of them I just wish I didn't loose interest so fast the main reason I beat crackdown was because of the co op fun ,I hope they start utilising full co op drop in and out in these otherwise I can wait a couple of years for price drops. I agreed in regards to most for your cash I do the same with multiplayer games usually wont buy day one games unless it has multi.

skydragoonity3676d ago

Red dead redemption 2? Yes please!

styferion3676d ago

But this time I want a more humourous take on the wild west setting, maybe a crazy cowboy a la Trevor from GTA V or a witty lunatic a la Jack Sparrow or something.

BiggCMan3676d ago

So do I. Have you played the first game, Red Dead Revolver? I LOOOOOOOVED this game so much, and was actually disappointed with Redemption.

It was a good game, but forgettable and I don't understand how it's considered one of the best games of last gen. I didn't feel that way at all, and I just really liked Revolver so much more.

Redemption is literally the same game as GTA, just set in the old Wild West. Which isn't a bad thing, but it was just kind of boring to me.

While Revolver is like nothing else in the world, completely unique and so crazy and hilarious.

They won't do that of course, Redemption sold way too much and got amazing reviews so obviously they will continue that game.

Toman853676d ago

Red Dead Redemption was epic from start to finish. I have completed single player twice and around 50 hours online freeroam!
Yes please, more Red Dead!

l-Mc-I3676d ago

I agree this game was just beautiful in all aspects. Did anyone else feel emotionally impacted by this game?

SoullessCorpse3676d ago

Hell yeah, would love a new Red Dead

Red Dead Redemption 2 Needs 60FPS Update Before GTA 6 Arrives

Bawal from Tech4Gamers writes "Red Dead Redemption 2 is still incredibly popular today, and it's a shame it hasn't received a 60FPS upgrade for consoles yet."

Kind of wonder why they can't release a patch for 60fps. I don't expect a native ps5 just a patch to allow the original PS4 version run at 60 on ps5. They did it for the red dead redemption remaster.

Cacabunga6d ago

I just got the platinum a few weeks ago.. I would replay the whole main story in 60FPS if this happens.

ocelot076d ago

I tried forcing my self to play it on ps5 recently and the 30fps killed it for me I just can't do it.

Played the pc online version and it was just a joy playing it at 1440p 80+ FPS.

Amplitude5d ago

They could. There are 60fps mods for hacked PS5s. They're just waiting for the same reason they're waiting to release Red Dead 1 on PC - staggered hype

isarai6d ago

It needs far more than 60fps, better resolution, fix the trash checkerboard rendering that somehow makes 1440p look worse than 1080p, fix the input lag, and fix the wack HDR implementation.

sagapo6d ago

Yeah, the HDR is terrible, made me wonder why the dev’s even bothered.

isarai6d ago

The fact that they've been called out on it by several sources and still haven't done a thing. It's just ridiculous

anast6d ago

The game looks great on my PS5 and PC monitor. You might need to update your gear.

isarai6d ago

Everything i said is proven, documented and demonstrated by several sources including Digital Foundry. I have a $3k 4k lg OLED, and ive been professionally calibrating displays for over a decade. It aint me or my equipment

anast6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

It's too far away from trash. It looks great on my setup. It has to be your equipment or your perception or you enjoy being hyperbolic.

isarai6d ago

@anast

Learn to read, you're talking in circles.

anast6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

This is a common trend with you. You seem to not understand the words you are typing. But unlike you, I am not gifted enough to make judgments on the level of your literacy.

"Fix the trash" is being hyperbolic. At least, now we know what the problem is. It's not your equipment or Digital Foundry skewing your perception.

isarai6d ago

You seem to not understand how to read an entire sentence which seems to be the common trend with you. How about you quote the entire statement. "Fix the treash checkerboard rendering" which, yeah if it makes 1440p look worse than 1080p it's somehow not just failing to do it's only job, but actually making things worse. It would be better off thrown out....like trash. Hell even Digital Foundry reccomends forcing a 1080p output over 1440p for a clearer image, and even just made a new video like a week ago bringing up that problematic soft checkerboard rendering again.

All of which you can gather by my very first response to you, that you somehow respond to, but don't actually comprehend. It's like if i told you "hey here's $5 for you a coffee" you would respond "ok but i need a coffee and don't have any money" you ask the question to the answers you're currently replying to, can you not read? Do you not know how to fact check? Do search bars, google, and YouTube not exist for you? Figure it out, you're a whole ass human im not going to walk you through how to use your own damn brain.

sagapo6d ago

Anast, I’ve played Red Dead on my LG oled, it looked better with HDR turned off. The fact however that Gran Turismo in HDR looks superb on the same screen pretty much says it all. HDR in Red Dead is broken.

ocelot075d ago

Sorry but compared to pc even at 1080p on pc it looks like someone has rubbed vaseline on the console versions. Only time only time it looks really good on consoles is during cut scenes.

anast5d ago

I suppose you are doubling down. Good on you. The echoes got to sound good from your angle.

anast5d ago

I'm not talking about HDR. This is what I am addressing. "fix the trash checkerboard rendering that somehow makes 1440p look worse than 1080p." You all keep changing the goal posts so you can be right. The game looks great on my end.

Rockstar's gonna do jack s*** about it

Profchaos6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I've been waiting for this since getting my ps5 I don't think it's a big ask the game sold 32 million copies plus.

There's already homebrew out there to achieve this on modded consoles.

Knowing Rockstar they probably want to release a native version but will delay it over and over like GTA v which didn't need a native port tbh a 60fps patch would of been fine.

I predict however were more likely to get GTA IV remastering ported to PS4/5/switch same as rdr

PhillyDonJawn6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Heck ya Game of the generation

Take-Two CEO Doesn’t Think AI Will Reduce Employment or Dev Costs; “Stupidest Thing” He’s Heard

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.

lodossrage20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

They already have AI trained to do coding.......

How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.

CS720d ago

Company A has 300 employees and lays of 200 to replace them with AI to release the same quality game.

Company B has 300 employees and keeps all 300 but instead uses AI to release a game with dramatically larger scale, scope, complexity, short dev cycle etc.

Company B would release a dramatically better product by using humans + AI and consumers would buy the better game.

I actually agree with this concept.

Huey_My_D_Long20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

This is key facet. Its how the AI is used. It's actually is impressive as is and really would make an amazing addition to alot of people in their jobs, not just tech. It also has the potential for businesses to use to lay off large amounts of people, as much as they could to save money on labor. I hope too many companies don't go with the latter. But since usually companies are worried about bottom line over people...we will see some try and hopefully fail. But yeah, if its to help workers like in your company B scenario I'm totally down...Just scared Company A may be too enticing to some ceos and businesses.

Darkegg20d ago

Value of AI and value of humans will both be increased with human-AI complex. Each, by themselves, will not be independently better than the other. Whether AI will ever be independent from humans is the fear question of humans, ironically because of our doing. At this stage, most of the doing is because of humans, not because of AI. AI is doing exactly that by our design, until we have failed ourselves with an AI development that went awry. The biggest take is that humans have only ourselves to blame when things become wrong, and we have to decide what is the ultimate goal with AI we want to accomplish. It would take a person with high morals and high ethics to make right of AI. I would not want businessman to decide what AI should do or what capabilities it can have. AI should be in the hands of people with high moral fiber, or those operating on love, kindness, and compassion.

BlackOni20d ago

AI is SUPPOSED to be used as a tool, not a replacement. It's designed to do two important things artists can take advantage of immediately.

- Make the ideation/reference imaging process much quicker and easier (basically using it as a google search)
- Make mundane and time consuming tasks faster and easier so more time is spent on creation.

Unfortunately, what many have done is used it as a way to replace rather than supplement.

Einhander197220d ago (Edited 20d ago )

CS7

In the ideal world yes.

In the real world where companies have shown little desire to innovate and spent every effort to maximize profits the end result will be the same quality games (if were lucky) made by less people and more AI.

Company Real World: Fires 200 people and makes the same game cheaper using AI and the executives get record bonuses.

Edit:

Lets look at history, specifically auto manufacturing.

In the 70's and 80's the auto unions tried to oppose automation of jobs (robots) stating that they would take peoples jobs. And the people in charge who wanted to make more money said the exact same types of things that are being said about AI. But we can look at history and see that countless types of jobs were in fact replaced by automation, that was of course even compounded upon by computers.

The net effect was that the rich got richer less jobs were needed so wages were forced down by competition for the jobs that were left.

hombreacabado19d ago

that concept works in the initial beginning phase of AI but once AI learns and surpasses the knowledge and coding expertise of even the best human employee than this CEO will no longer need competent humans in that line of work.

Extermin8or3_19d ago

@Hue_My£D_Long

Yes but that is a choice then by massively increased productivity and this greater income and wealth and stagnating with similar levels of productivity and output and not creating much wealth. Usually the option that creates wealth prevails because a rising tide raises all ships.

Number1TailzFan20d ago

You can already make your own SFX with text prompts now as well, of course it will lower development cost and time

1Victor20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

WARNING WARNING ‼️ SARCASM AHEAD
Sure Strauss and robots didn’t take jobs from car factories.
Edit:Sad thing is he believes it and unfortunately he won’t be replaced for a long time by AI

senorfartcushion20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

He doesn't, he's just lying. These people lay people off so they can get bonuses. If AI takes jobs, their bonus goes bigger and the workforce goes smaller.

porkChop20d ago

Because he sees AI as a tool to aid development. He wants to use AI to help make bigger and better games in the same timeframe. Other CEOs want to replace devs with AI to cut costs and make lifeless games faster for a quick buck. Strauss has the right idea, this is how AI should be used. To extend and expand the capabilities of devs.

neutralgamer199219d ago

There will be few companies who will go overboard and try to replace their employees with AI tech. The ones that will make the most money will be the ones that utilize ai, along with their employee talent, to make the best product possible

AI could handle some of the most time consuming processes. To expediate the development, so in return, costing the publisher's last money end time.

Extermin8or3_19d ago

Not reliably they haven't. Coding done by ai is generally abysmal for all but the most generic tasks.

I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.

DarXyde19d ago

I think you mean candor, not intelligence.

If you take him to mean what he's saying at face value, sure.

I don't. And I think he's clearly lying.

romulus2320d ago

As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.

RNTody20d ago

Hahaha yeah trust the CEO suit over the actual developers making the games. Good one.
