dan houser left 2 years after that.
just because the CEO said so 6 years ago, doesn't make it so now that take two only cares about cutting dead weight.
there's a reason they stopped updating this game.
and to once again clarify: that was the CEO of take two who said that, the parent company, not rockstar; the actual developers of the game.
take two saying they're coming out with rdr3 is like them saying they're going to make ksp3. - it's simply untrue, because take two isn't a developer, they're the friggin production company that owns the developers, meaning anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt because it's 99% marketing, 1% fluff, and 0% substence.
im just as upset as everyone else about this but the fact is that it's just not going to happen and even if it did in the slightest chance: dan houser wouldn't be there to bring the magic to the game.
so it wouldn't really be rdr3, it'd be another game altogether.

After what felt like an interminable wait, Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has officially confirmed the development of Red Dead Redemption 3, the next title in the beloved Wild West action-adventure franchise. The announcement came directly from Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Take-Two Interactive, during an interview at the Jefferies Virtual Global Interactive Entertainment Conference. During the conversation, Zelnick expressed his sentiments regarding the potential longevity of entertainment franchises like Red Dead Redemption and even compared it with the likes of James Bond.
Zelnick remarked, “If it’s really, really great, it will keep going. I don’t know if you saw it, I just saw the new Bond film, that was great. You would like every franchise to be James Bond. There are precious few entertainment franchises of any sort that fall into that category, but they do exist. And I think GTA is one of them, I think Red Dead is one of them, NBA is obviously one of them because the game will continue to exist.”
Release date 2035, circle it on your calendar
so a quote from strauss in 2021, (that's when he said that, and once again he's a ceo of take two, not rockstar,) which is less than a year after dan houser left makes you think they're def gonna make number 3?
i know you quoted those dates thinking they were special, but they're not the dates of when strauss said that.
he said that after the new bond movie, in 2021, RIGHT AFTER HOUSER LEFT.
literally not even a year after he said it.
it was MARKETING as i said, and is why i also said there is no substance behind it when the ONLY thing you can post pointing out strauss' quote is news articles that are paid for their fluff.
if you really think a company that has been laying off their different development teams that aren't making enough money is going to continue to push out expensive bangers without the help of the people who made them what they are i have a bridge to sell you.
take two does not care about continuing rdr in any way unless it's a 100% garantee that they will make money, which they ONLY would if they had houser on the team again.
unfortunately, he's not, and he refused to help them with it because he was working under them and knew what the future held for take two and their companies they own.
Now, whether-or-not it’ll be any good is another question. Only time will tell.
as of right now both take two and rockstar games have said absolutely nothing about red dead redemption other than the fact that it isn't a priority due to gta6 and that the VA for clive davies died alongside the leaving of many staff who worked on the games.
this is literally a quote from the rockstar newsletter when someone asked the journalist if rdr3 was on the agenda:
"The current road map for Rockstar doesn't help Red Dead Redemption 3's case at all, as the company's priorities currently lie elsewhere. It has been reported previously that Grand Theft Auto 6 is the sole current-gen title that Rockstar is focusing on right now."
and then later clarified:
"Neither Rockstar Games nor Red Dead's publisher, Take-Two Interactive, has divulged official plans for Red Dead Redemption 3." - January 10th, 2024
idk why you guys are arguing about this like you have some insider info about it when it has been stated by both take two and rockstar that it's not in the works or even planned, the ONLY person to say anything about it was the CEO of take two, aka the guy who is in charge of the moneh. - and he said it in 2021 last, that's the LAST reported statement from him about it and they haven't said anything since other than the actual developers stating that it's not planned.
so of course he said something for an article 4-6 years ago, it doesn't change the fact that it isn't being made, he's literally just fishing for investors.
i mean just to clarify: take two is the same company that bought the IP for KSP2, and look at what they promised, and look at what they delivered.
i know it's not the same because it was an early access game and had like .01% of the people working on it that rockstar has, but the point is don't take what the CEO of mega corps say to be fact.
just because strauss zelnik said something about there being a rdr3 doesn't mean the developers are working on it, and it most assuredly doesn't mean that it's going to be a thing no matter how much you think it will make them money.
i once again clarify what the DEVELOPERS have said not the CEO: "there is no official plans in the making for a RDR3"
Again the Red Dead franchise makes Rockstar a ton of money. No doubt a third one will eventually get released.
Do I think it’s currently in production? No.
Do I think it’ll be released in the 5 years? Honestly, no.
Do I think it will come out eventually? Almost certainly yes.
Saying RDR3 will never get released is kinda like saying GTA7 will never get released. Sooner or later it will, we just might all be in retirement homes when it does. XD
there may be another red dead game sure, but it's not going to be rdr3.
it's also not going to be anywhere near as good as this was because the people who made this what it was, all do not work for rockstar anymore.
the majority of gta6s map is using assets from this game for example, it's basically a newly hired dev team that's just taking parts of old games and smashing them together to turn out another game for profit.
and what you guys keep hanging your wagers on is the CEO, the same guy that shuts down multiple studios to save money and has not once actually honored his words in marketing, and how he said that rdr3 will be a thing.
OF COURSE he said that, he sees money in it. it brought investors to the table and will continue to do so as long as you guys hang on to this false hope.
but will it actually be rdr3?
nope, not a chance, the developers of rockstar themselves have clarified this twice now that they are not working on a rdr3, that doesn't mean they aren't working on another red dead game, it just means that rdr3 isn't being worked on and due to the current climate with take two, it's clear as day for anyone with basic analytical skills that rdr3 isn't going to be a thing.
no, no they do not lmao.
rockstar bought the IP from capcom, take two owns rockstar.
take two does not own the IP but owns rockstar, and is why i have been pointing out that the CEO of the parent company saying there will be something isn't actually something you should hedge your bets on because he also said KSP2 would be a massive success and literally just shut down the studio. - and guess what: they're still working on ksp2 because take two didn't own the IP, they owned the studio, big difference.
that guy is who you're basing your hope on.
he's not the messiah, stop believing in him.
Earnings from the Red Dead franchise is nothing compared to GTA even without taking into account the online part.
Personally, I think they will milk GTA VI and GTA online for years to come without releasing anything else.
Even the next GTA wont be a real GTA without the above longtime staff. R* is done. Put a fork in it.
