From Joystiq:
When we recently spoke with our trusted sources from Rockstar San Diego, in addition to yesterday's information regarding the Midnight Club franchise, we were also told about the allegedly troubled state of Red Dead Redemption. One source said that the game "was a complete disaster for most of 2009 and previous ... it has since turned around a little bit, but there are huge problems with it still." Unsurprisingly, the issues with the game are repeatedly claimed to be the result of mismanagement -- along the same lines as what was mentioned in the recent "Rockstar spouse" letter.
"Red Dead [Redemption] has been in production for six years (mainly because of horrible management/lack of direction due to fear of disrespecting Rockstar NY) and it will never get the money back in sales it cost to create for those six years," claimed another source.
Don't expect Red Dead Redemption to make its end of April 2010 release target.
As I have said in the webcast, this is one of the games I'm looking out for. For me it doesn't matter if the release date will pass the end of April. From what I have seen in a preview video it does look marvelous. I want a good game, with all the bells and wistles. Even if it costs me another $300 to buy a new graphics card.
ReplyDeleteI want something else, I am pretty done with all the bullshit games lately. Better said: at this moment there are just two games I like to play. These are CoD United Offensive and L4D2. So mismanagement or not, as long as the game, RDR, turns out better due to mismanagement, so be it with the release date. I want an awesome game, that's all I ask for.
Remmy: I haven't seen any mention that this will be a PC release. Do you have different information?
ReplyDeleteCrap, you're right. It's PS3 only as far as I know. But hey, who knows it might come to pc eventually. My bad. I was busy with several topics at once.
