Red Dead Redemption: Success on Xbox One Warrants a Sequel

The game received a great response on Xbox One and there couldn't be a better time to release another title in the franchise.

[ritchi45]

It's success last gen already made it worthy of a sequel/prequel.

[seanpitt23]

I think the success of gta 5 and more importantly the online aspect has made Rockstar a tad lazy let's face it if the gta 5 online didn't make as much as it currently does with them shark cards then we would of definitely seen another game by now from rockstar to keep there shareholders happy.

But with the success of gta5 online there is no need to rush and can take as much time as they want they have money coming in daily from 3 year old game.

[Lon3wolf]

That's the way I am seeing things, happy if they prove me wrong though.

[Nitrowolf2]

Rockstar has always had big gaps between r3leases though.

Not saying that shark cards arent playing an I fluency cause they probably are, in fact I expexlct them in the next red dead. ACE cards or something along those lines

[krypt1983]

That's doesn't matter rockstar sd make rdr not rockstar north two different teams that's why rdr blows gta v out of the water rdr online is even boat loads better then gta online

[MasterCornholio]

Pretty much. The game was already popular on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

However it's nice that the Xbox One can play this title via BC.

[thrust]

Looks like people played it on 360,PS3 and now the Xbox one (if they want)

[KwietStorm_BLM]

You're making too much sense for a post on the internet. Needs more current events sensationalism.

[Deeke]

Take Two Interactive will be at Gamescom. Maybe we'll see RDR 2 revealed at the show? Or maybe they're just bringing existing games like Mafia 3 to Germany...

[raWfodog]

I would imagine that there are a lot of new gamers coming into age now that are interested in playing a great western game. Even though it's six years old, it definitely withstands the test of time. A great game is a great game. I might just fire up the PS3 and mosey into the sunset again :)

[gangsta_red]

I have seriously never played this game but have always heard how fantastic it was. Just one more reason why BC is very important and an excellent option to have for your system.

[jb227]

Never played Red Dead? C'mon dude you're slipping....it is good to have the game available on current gens though for those who sell their old systems for new gens. You should definitely try it out. I typically don't finish stories or dive deep into side content for Rockstar titles like GTA, but Red Dead is easily the best campaign in Rockstar's history. For like $7 or whatever they were selling it for on the Xbox store it is worth every penny & then some.

[gangsta_red]

I don't know what at the time prevented me from playing the game. It was always on the back burner, it just kept getting pushed more and more back.

But I will definitely pick it up now and leave it on the back burner for my Xbox One.

[TKCMuzzer]

@gangsta_red
Hold on, you never bought it last gen as it was always on the back burner, yet you will purchase it on the Xbox One and still put it on the back burner.
It sounds like you are buying it to endorse BC on your console of choice. Best thing to do is buy it, then play it, thats a better reason.

Come to think of it, wasn't RDR part of a PS + plus month......................... ..yep, oooh, might give me PS3 a boot and download this, nice.

[slate91]

@tkcmuzzer

Buying it for $7.50 now and putting it on the back burner for later. Whats wrong with that? The game will be tied to his xbl account permanently so no rush...

[Errorist76]

You can't be serious...why would you miss that?! Too young?!

[Filmicfps]

He might not have had time. Some people have jobs and other priorities. They might also have prioritized other games at the time with the intention of coming back to it later. It shouldnt be so hard to understand dude

[ziggurcat]

red dead redemption is a must play - last i read it was $7 on the xbox store (?), which is an absolute steal for a brilliant game.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Dude, it's the one great game Rockstar have made (besides L.A. Noire which they helped develope) so get on it!

[neutralgamer1992]

Just smh so you think it selling well last Gen didn't already warrant a sequel?

Gamer logic 2016

[Imalwaysright]

I agree but the game getting acknowledgement 6 years after the original release enforces the idea that a sequel would be a commercial success.

[neutralgamer1992]

Really so selling 14 plus million wasn't enough of a proof for that

[Imalwaysright]

English is not my language so I have to ask: did I say otherwise?

It has been 6 years since RDR and no word from Rockstar on a sequel so yeah, the success of this game through X1 BC is a reminder to them that gamers are interested in this IP and not just in GTA.

[neutralgamer1992]

Lol I am sorry if I came across wrong I was also agreeing with what you said lol

[Liqu1d]

They already pretty much confirmed another Red Dead is coming.

[MilkMan]

Aren't they making a sequel already? Didn't something leak?

[Lon3wolf]

Wasn't that unconfirmed assets etc. that made their way onto the net?

[IIFloodyII]

TakeTwo pretty much confirmed a sequel was coming ages ago, since then there's been a few leaks here and there but nothing absolutely concrete (not easily faked).

[MasterCornholio]

Take Two tends to take their time with their games.

[Errorist76]

As far as I know they even were about to reveal it at Sony's E3 conference but cut it out because a Saloon shooting scene was too similar to the Orlando shooting.

[ritchi45]

Adam Boyes debunked that:

[Errorist76]

Alright thank you..

[IIFloodyII]

Lol, like it didn't already? It sold incredibly well and was extremely well received Rockstar & TakeTwo would have to be stupid to think otherwise.

I thought that sales on last-gen consoles are great indication for sequel, not BC. LOL

[ScorpiusX]

This game deserved a sequel six months after it released , but am game to buying its sequel if releasing in the next 3 years anything longer than that forget.

[Errorist76]

What a stupid headline. There are rumours the game was supposed to be revealed at Sony's E3 press conference btw. They had to cut it out because a saloon shooting scene was too reminiscent of the Orlando shooting.

[EpicSandwich]

That rumor was already debunked by Sony

[Errorist76]

Thx for clarification. Makes sense as Rockstar never presents their big games at E3 but at their own event.

[Kiwi66]

Strange then how Adam Boyes has debunked that rumour as he said that it was not cut from the press conference as everything they had to show was organised and locked down months before E3 so how can they show or cut something that wasn't there to begin with as a simple check will confirm that like the link that @ritchi45 posted

[Errorist76]

Strange how I myself called it a rumor. Wtf?! People these days.

[thisgamer503]

Lol read a rumour somewhere and all the sudden it becomes fact

[Errorist76]

Where did I call it a fact?! Just tell me..oh I didn't! Sad people without manners.

[Kiwi66]

Mate i know that you said it was a rumour i'm just saying the rumour was confirmed to be false so i'm agreeing with you on the rumour part just not on the rest of your comment

[Kallisti]

I think it's safe to say that a Red Dead Redemption followup is already in production but that it no way means they should just rush out and release it now, as opposed to giving the game the quality and polish it deserves..

[Trekster_Gamer]

No it's success when it released warranted a sequel!

Playing it on the XB1 is icing on the cake!

The publisher needs to stop dragging their heels and make a sequel already!!!

[strayanalog]

We're already getting a sequel/prequel it's just a question of when.

[mafiahajeri]

It's obvious it's being worked on its been 6 years since the last one, if they started devolping it now and let's say best case scenario 4 year dev cycle it'll be out in 2020.

10 years after the orginal? Yeah, no...

[ziggurcat]

the fact that it's one of the best games from last generation warrants a sequel, not its success as a BC title on xbox one.

[VsAssassin]

It was ALREADY SUCCESSFUL waaay before this, guys. Its success on the last generation of consoles is enough to warrant a sequel. Sigh...

[EpicSandwich]

I'm sure last gen sales warranted a sequel. It's nice to have it on xbox one I can't wait to finally play it.

[noksucow73]

RDR one of my all time favorite games!

[MagicBeanz]

This is literally the dumbest statement I've heard in a long time, the games success last gen already warranted a sequel, lets not try to make it sound like xbone had anything to do with this. People have wanted a sequel for a long time, long before the xbone BC version became available, lets cut the hyperbole.

[KiwiViper85]

How many people would be talking about a sequel if BC never happened?

Your underestimating how many more people are able to going play this game because of BC.

"Let's not try make it sound like Xbox had anything to do with this" - why are you trying to make it seem like Xbox BC had nothing to do with this.

How many articles would RDR have today if it wasn't recently re-released on Xbox one?

[MagicBeanz]

None of that changes the fact a sequel was, and has already been, wanted by gamers for a long time. There have been many article regarding just that over the years, its backwards compatibility on xbone has nothing to do with that.

[jokerisalive]

I have to admit I am really enjoying BC on my XB1 especially this game and Black Ops, Fallout 3 and Borderlands.

[Auron]

Finally downloaded this game, cant wait to see what its all about!

[Nodoze]

Why is there no remaster for this title yet? Anyone home in the rockstar executive suite? Get this done NOW.

[KiwiViper85]

No need with BC...

[rynodigital]

Knowing Rockstar, they'll just release a series of Red Dead Redemption inspired Races and Clothing for GTA: Online.
