I'm concerned about RDR3.

[Unspoken OH]

 

 

There are tons of videos like this on YouTube and if you've played the game, you know how incredibly detailed this game is. This is literally the most detailed game I've ever seen in my life. It beats GTA5 too, which is not very common in the gaming industry. 

 

As for RDR3, Rockstar has not announced anything yet but based on how successful RDR2 was, a next installment is bound to happen. Right? It's just matter of time. RDR2 has an amazing storyline with extraordinary characters, impeccable acting and voice acting, a breath-takingly beautiful world and the little details...Now how in the hell is Rockstar going to create a game that surpasses this level of greatness? I'm afraid the next game will be a downgrade compared to this. 

[Jeansowaty]

I really don't like when people imply that there might be an RDR3. And honestly I don't even want it to happen. Neither will it happen when the next GTA installment hasn't even been anounced  

[WXSTER]

damn people ae talking about rdr3 already yall are in for a ride

 

But honestly in 10 years we will probably move the goalpost again like rockstar always have done

[happygrowls]

I don't want another Redemption, I want a new story set in the Classic West.

Every game can be surpassed. RDR 2 is great but the next one will be even more detailed( unless they get lazy). Story and characters can be great again in the next one too.

This is what I want.  I just hope that by the time it arrives I won't be too old to care.

You're right. Only that time is like at least 8-10 years from now. VI most likely will come out in 2024 or later so a potential RDR3 will not happen for years from now on. They might want to make a new IP too after VI so who knows when. RDR is a permanent franchise, don't worry. RDR2 is their 2nd most successful game only behind GTAV.

[60017 Silver Fox]

I don't see why there should be any concern at all. RDR3 (if they decide to make one) won't be out for another ten years if not longer so they'll have plenty of time to find a way to surpass RDR2. Just the advancing in technologies in the upcoming ten years+ will make RDR2 look a tad outdated by the time the first trailer even comes out.

[Badman_]

I'm not sure it's ever going to happen. Take a look at RDR2: 8 years of production and who knows how much money (probably +250 million). Yes the game was a commercial and critical success, but nowhere near the level of a GTA title, and the online mode isn't that hot either. R* might prefer not to take the risk with RDR3.

[MaddenedGhost]

I just find it funny how you're expecting to hear about RDR3 when the next GTA isn't even announced yet, you are in for a loooong ride lol.

With that said, when the next Red Dead game comes out, I am sure it will be just as detailed if not more detailed than RDR2.

I guess it's very long away from being announced, let alone released, to be concerned about it at this point. It even feels a bit defeating when you think if Westerns will be still be relevant and popular by then (like, really! what's the point? a strange feeling sometimes). If R* remains the R* that we know in up to now, then I think these worlds are only getting more detailed and complex moving forward. I don't even think we are going to see the sequel to Redemption 2 this decade. Yup, that's a long time and technologies (e.g. AI, automation, machine learning) could change the landscape of software and games development.

[IzzyBlues]

Didn't Dan Houser say in an interview just before RDR2 released that if RDR2 did well, then he had another story to tell with RDR3?

 

I know he left Rockstar but I'm pretty sure that are breadcrumbs left in RDR2 for an opening for RDR3. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in the very early conceptual/pre-production stage right now for the third game.

like gta6 is EVER going to happen... lol

They are re-re-releasing GTA5 - that should register as a giant RED FLAG.

If they continue to do prequels, I'd expect to play as Davey in the next game.

The gang member who died at the very start of the game.

Rdr2 is a great game but by no means perfect, Rockstar can and I really hope they do better with their next games, there are many areas in which another red dead game can be improved

[sefus]

How about a spinoff game called "Red Dead Revolution"?

Lol it won't be risky. RDR 2 is one of the top selling games of all time. Nowhere near GTA 5 but that was expected. Still very popular and RDR 3 will sell well. They do need to be careful about the pacing and realism. Lots of people didn't like the slow pace and realistic movement in RDR 2.

What risk lol? It sold a LOT better than any other GTA title besides V and likewise much better than any other popular SP title (maybe Skyrim is approaching or surpassing it by a bit because according to info I found they sold over 30 mil copies as of 2016 and RDR2 sits at 38 mil copies right now). Let's not pretend that Red Dead isn't a safe, mass-market franchise. It is, just like GTA, but to a lesser extent. I am not too happy that they are just doing RDR/GTA now, but it's better than pumping out GTA sequels only, I love Red Dead as a series and I prefer it to GTA.

As for RDR3, as much as I love RDR2, I think another game either needs to be drastically different from the first two games or I'd prefer them to move to a new IP. New IP is a preferable outcome for me, I wanna see something that is completely new and not related to the previous franchises they did. And then maybe they could return to Red Dead after making a new IP.

With Jack as a protag in World War 1 please  have him be drafted into the army then desert it in the middle of war-torn Europe where he becomes a hitman for some Mafia until being forced to escape to the Soviet Union.

Everyone thought RDR2 would be named something like that and then the reveal happened.  Some people on GTAF were quite disappointed it was RDR2 instead of Red Dead (name) for some reason.

[videotech_]

I wouldn't be surprised if Sam Houser and his writers are already gathering some ideas for the next Red Dead title. But I wouldn't expect it until at least 2030-3035 if Rockstar goes ahead with another game. I'd like to see Rockstar shift away from the Redemption story and move onto a new cast of story characters. The Van Der Linde Gang's legacy had its time now, it's time to put that story to rest. I'm pretty sure Take-Two will give Rockstar the green light to be fair considering the game has sold over 38 MILLION copies. That's outbeating every AAA title on the market which is insane. 

[Badman_]

2030-3035 holy sh*t we're screwed.

[videotech_]

Just being realistic. VI is likely years away from now

It would've been fun when asking about the games with abbreviations: 

 

"Do you prefer RDR or RDR?"

"Actually I'm more inclined towards RDR even though the other 2 are great"

"I just think RDR is the best RD even more than RDR and RDR" 

"RDR is amazing indeed"

Considering how niche the Western genre is I'm pretty sure most developers would love to have a game like RDR2 on their resume. RDR1 was a risk in 2010 since not many people were aware of the Red Dead series yet it blew away all expectations.

 

The ecosystems of GTA and Red Dead are pretty much in synch now since most people who play GTA games play Red Dead games and vice versa. RDR2 consistently outsells many new games and it's almost 3 years old so what "risk" would they be taking by making another Red Dead game when its popularity will only grow stronger and stronger?

 

The only game it lags behind in terms of sales and whatnot is GTA V, but that's pretty much used as the whore of the GTA series (re-re-release).

This. We need another game set during the 1860s-1880s. No more of "The West is dying, our way of life is over." bullsh*t we've had for two games. I also want an Outlaw that doesn't have a change of heart during the middle of the story or someone who has changed his ways I want a real cold blooded son of a bitch 

 

No more of the Van Der Linde gang either we need a new set of characters.

When people will understand RDR2 is Rockstar's second best selling game ever, just after GTA 5? It's not even 3 years old yet, I'm sure it will sell at least 50 million copies eventually, more than three times what RDR1 sold.

If RDR2 can reach even half of GTA V's lifetime sales I'll tip off my hat as it'll prove people are still interested in a strong, quality single player experience that doesn't need to be released on every console ever.

To be honest, RDR2 sells better than any other AAA game, except GTA 5 itself, just tell me which other game also sold more than 40 million units, except GTA 5, Minecraft and a few more I don't remember, it's not common to achieve these numbers bro.

Why would there be a RDR3? Unless you want to play as John's son again, another prequel won't be happening. RDR is done for. Red Dead itself will have to go backwards in time to stay relevant if another game ever happens.

Except it isn't. Unless Rockstar sets another game in the 1800's, there is nowhere for the franchise to go. Remakes would be the only way to go then. Edit: Also, Red Dead is the franchise, Redemption is just a subclass of the franchise.
