Dan Houser Revealed How Rockstar Almost Backed Out of Making Red ***** Redemption 2

Although Rockstar Games continues to put most of its attention towards Grand Theft Auto, Red ***** Redemption 2 is undoubtedly one of the studio’s biggest successes ever and a masterpiece of a game that ended up defining an entire genre. Seriously, the amount of hidden details and graphical immersion will ***** away anyone.

Red ***** Redemption 2 has managed to sell nearly 64 million copies, which makes it the seventh best-selling title in the entire world. However, it may shock you to learn that Dan Houser and his team, while working on the game, almost gave up and axed the entirety of the project!

Red ***** Redemption 2 Was a Massive Project For Rockstar Games

Red ***** Redemption 2 is considered to be one of the best games ever created. Set in a fictional version of the ******* States in 1899, it’s one of the most immersive games on the market and has been praised by critics and gamers alike for its realism.

, Dan Houser, Rockstar’s ex-creative director, revealed that when the studio started working on the game, they wanted to bring an authentic experience. However, if they had known how much work would go into it, they would’ve abandoned the project.

If we’d known how much work it was going to be then maybe we’d have backed off but once we committed we were like, ‘We’ve got to make this work, let’s have some fun with it.

Rockstar could’ve easily axed Red ***** Redemption 2 if they wanted to. However, that’s not their style. They decided to stick with the project, and took everything gamers loved about the original game, and dialed it up to 11.

It took them eight years, but they managed to bring so much to the game’s world to the point it feels more like a cowboy simulator than an actual game!

There’s no denying that the game’s online mode was a miss, but we’re confident the studio has learned its lesson and could finally bring something that could rival GTA Online’s success in future entries of the franchise.

Is Rockstar Games Working on the Next Red ***** Redemption?

There’s no doubt that Red ***** Redemption 2 skyrocketed the franchise’s popularity to the next level. Despite all that, Rockstar still hasn’t said a word about the game’s sequel. However, that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill on the internet.

While talking at the Jefferies Virtual Global Interactive Entertainment Conference last year, Take-Two’s CEO Strauss Zelnick discussed about Red ***** Redemption‘s success in recent years and stated, “If it’s really, really great, it will keep going.” He also drew comparisons between popular franchises such as James Bond and called “Red *****” as enduring entities.

Currently, Rockstar is fast-tracking Grand Theft Auto 6‘s development, as it’s scheduled to release next year. Considering the studio’s past and the recent industry shift towards long development cycles, we might not see Red ***** Redemption 3 before 2023.

It’s sad, but if gamers want another genre-defining experience, it’s crucial to give Rockstar all the time they need to bring such a game.

What do you think Rockstar needs to improve on with the next Red ***** Redemption game? Let us know in the comments below.
