Take 2 har nu en gång för alla officiellt slagit fast det som de flesta av oss nog redan misstänkte, men trots allt inte visste. Red Dead är nämligen en spelserie, och eftersom Rockstar bara släppt ett sådant spel, betyder det att fler delar är på väg. Det var bossen Strauss Zelnick som under Cowen and Company Analyst-konferensen lät bekräfta detta.
"The risk of just [releasing more games] is that you end up just bulking up your release schedule and that isn't really what consumers want. Consumers want better, not more.
So our selective approach, which we've taken since '07 I think has paid off. Now, we have gotten more by taking that approach; we've launched one new successful franchise every year and I would like to keep doing that particularly because I talk about permanent franchises, but not everything is going to be a permanent franchise. Some of our great franchises eventually will lose their lustre and some will hopefully be permanent."
Och det var efter detta uttalande som Zelnick slog fast vilka serier som är dessa permanent återkommande:
"I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent. It's obvious that GTA is a permanent franchise as long as we keep delivering this incredible quality; it seems quite obvious that Red Dead is a permanent franchise, again with the same caveat, or Borderlands, for example, and NBA and others."
Rockstar bekräftade för övrigt nyligen att de jobbar på ett nytt spel till de nya konsolerna som ska släppas under året. Kan Red Dead vara detta spel? Förhoppningsvis får vi veta mer under E3...
