Hmm the only "open-world" game Rockstar San Diego made was Red Dead Redemption. This seems legit. I think it's about time as well since RDR came out in 2010. Red Dead Revolution please please please. :)

Rockstar Hiring For Possible Red Dead Redemption Sequel

Rockstar San Diego is an interesting little developer. Having workedon smaller titles likeTable TennisandSmuggler's Run, the moderatelypopularMidnight Clubseries and then knocking it out of the park withRed Dead Redemption.Their open-world Western odyssey captured thehearts and imaginations of everyone who ever caught themselvesadmiring a pair of cowboy boots or has ever grunted a subvocal 'Howdy'when no one was looking.

Which is especially interesting, because Rockstar San Diego made itbig with their first critically acclaimed sandbox. Why is this interesting? Well for fans of the
game and even more interesting to the burgeoning AI programmer,Rockstar San Diego is looking to craft AI for a new "open worldexperience".Is this Rockstar's first sign of a return to the dusty end of theWestern age? This would most likely be the case, though a new IP isnot an impossible idea. WithGrand Theft Auto Von its way, let's notforget that after number IV, Rockstar wasn't afraid to spread itswings and try new things, putting a Western in the spotlight and evencreating an entirely new IP withL.A. Noire.

Has a sequel been officially announced? No. Would a new IP beinteresting and exciting to hear about? Yes. Would a return to the OldWest featuring Rockstar's outstanding writing and open world ****besomething to get excited about? You bet 'yer sorry hide, partner.

I didn't like RDR at all. So I hope it's another franchise or IP completly.

Hopefully set in Civil War, and you have my moneyfunsohng

little bit of a touchy subject.

Not surprised for a sequel tho. After how RDR ended It seemed very possible.

Tho, i honestly never got through the whole story....so i youtubed the ending.

Rockstar is the best, all their games are polished and refined. Sure some people might not have high enough taste to appreciate their games and that is okay, but the quality can't be denied. senses_fail_06

All the more reason why Rockstar would do it.

There are scads of Civil War games anyway.

Greatly enjoyed RDR despite some really irritating quest givers (not really sure what you call them in that setting).

Why no PC port of the RDR though? :(

Rockstar usually does push the boundaries. But race is usually the one they kind of stay clear from. San Andreas even was a little more senistive on it.

Hoepfully it won't be awful.

I guess in an open world game it is a bit different.

They could set it in a free territory so as not to actually depict slavery.

RDR was jaw-droppingly amazing for me, so I can't wait for a sequel. However I hope they don't try to rush it, take a few years to really polish it off and make a worthy sequel, because RDR is going to be hard if not impossible to top.

I'm already bored just thinking about its existence.

RDR was good. If true, I'll be pleased.

A modern Red Dead set in smaller towns in Mexico wouldn't be bad at all. Some of those towns are practically straight out westerns anyway, and it could deal with the cartels (I know CoJ tried to do that unsuccessfully this past year) and it would be far edgier than anything else Rockstar could ever do honestly. It's not like they can go much farther ahead in time with a real western setting, I mean, RDR already takes place while the wild west is dieing, it would be weird to try to see them pull off a western during the Depression or WW2.bonesawisready5

They're not confined to setting the sequel after the last game. Look at the PS2-era GTA games: first was GTA 3, set in 2001. Then Vice City, set in 1985. Then San Andreas, set in 1992.

Oh, and they can definately do a Civil War-era setting without getting tangled up in the politics of it.

Awesome@!

All they need to do for a new game would be add mroe side quests, just bulk it up a bit and a new good story!

Maybe make it fully coop to so you can the missions together with one friend.

A Red Dead 3 would be awesome.:o
