There have been multiple rumours over the past few years years about a sequel to the critically acclaimed Read Dead Redemption which released in 2010 on the Xbox 360 and the PS3, and now it looks like eve Rockstar/Take-Two are entertaining that idea - and maybe make it the next GTA (which in theory it actually is, but set in the past).
Take-Two's CEO, Strauss Zelnick said during an investor call that -
“Our goal is to try to create permanent franchises, that’s the unique goal in the industry. Our competitors do not see it that way.
“Our competitors’ view is that our franchise will have a certain life, and at the end of that life, you move onto the next thing, so you better make hay while the sun shines. Our view is to the contrary. The best franchises are permanent franchises.
“Outside of our business you can look at James Bond, for example. And it’s been our goal not just to preserve and grow the Grand Theft Auto franchise, but also to build other franchises that we think can be permanent, whether that’s the Red Dead franchise or the Borderlands franchise or the BioShock franchise or others, Civilization, for example.
“So I think in certain instances, we’d like to see releases paced a little more closely together. I don’t really think next-gen is going to change the production approach sufficiently that, that will be the difference that makes the difference.”
So this may very well mean that both Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption may be rotated on some sort of cycle to be launched to the public. Maybe they can add Bully to the mix as well, which was a hid's story to GTA. Rockstar are surely the masters to creating an open world game series. I think it's a good idea, do you?
