There's no denying that Rockstar is one of the greatest video game development companies of all time. They have an incredible string of games behind them, and each product they release is almost a guaranteed winner. In an age when releases are becoming less and less predictable (see the disastrous launch that was Cyberpunk 2077 ), Rockstar remains a shining example of guaranteed quality and va
Like Van Horn, Rhodes is another town that time has passed by. But unlike Van Horn, Rhodes still has some semblance of civility and cleanliness. Rhodes stands out from other towns of the game owing to its dusty red streets, lending it a very memorable atmosphere and physical
She would have to choose between capturing her bounty target who she has pursued so vigorously or finally escaping to South America, both of which would be closer than ever before. Whether Rockstar allows players to make the final choice or takes the reigns to finish the narrative, _Red Dead Redemption 2 Crafting Dead Redemption 3 _ would already have told a story worthy of the franchise. Similar to the uncertain future that awaited Jack Marston at the end of the original, Sadie's tragic journey is already a frontier tale regardless of how it e
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a large and expansive game. Like all of Rockstar 's other open-world titles, the map is filled with unique areas, all of which have their own distinct look and personality. Whereas the first game in the series was a more straightforward Western, Red Dead Redemption 2 forgoes most of the Western trappings in favor of more mountainous, lush, green, and even swampy ar
The final part of her journey could lead her to the Panama Canal, which has been previously alluded to within the Red Dead franchise. Though it would be unclear in what stage of its lifespan the Canal would be by the time Sadie reached it, the location would be a perfect setting to end Sadie's journey of chasing down her target. Not only would it provide players with a wholly original landscape, but it would also bring Sadie to a final impasse where she must at last pick which side of the fence on which she wishes to be. Sadie is arguably one of the franchise's best characters , and this end would be one befitting both the Red Dead series and Sadie hers
Serving as Rockstar's highest-rated game, Grand Theft Auto IV may prove just as revolutionary and influential as Grand Theft Auto III . Released four years after San Andreas , Grand Theft Auto IV brought the legendary series into the seventh generation, complete with a massive and extraordinarily detailed Liberty City that quickly proved the greatest open-world map in gaming hist
Rockstar has been one of the most acclaimed developers of this generation, largely for the incredible narratives it creates. While the GTA franchise is certainly Rockstar's crown jewel, the studio's most impressive narrative is arguably the story told throughout Red Dead Redemption _ and Red Dead Redemption 2 _ . Choosing to move back in time with RDR2 made a lot of sense given how the original game ended. Making a direct sequel would have been tricky at the least, but beyond that, Rockstar's decision to move back in time actually changes the overall direction of the entire franchise and possibly for RDR3 as w
Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader's backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don't know that actual character, only that he once existed. The prequel trilogy gave layers and depth to the man who would become Lord Vader, painting a portrait of a passionate and ambitious youth not all too unlike how Dutch's young self is referenced in RDR2 . Each had a vision of the world they wanted to make, and, like Anakin, even as Dutch's plans continued to fail , they were still plans initially made with the best of intenti
John Marston is a beloved character, and this game sidelined him to supporting status in favor of newcomer Arthur Morgan. Luckily, Arthur proved a sympathetic and endlessly enjoyable protagonist, and the game was immediately deemed a worthy succes
The end of RDR2 gives the perfect starting point for the third installment, as Sadie Adler's fate is left uncertain in the year 1907. Red Dead Redemption doesn't pick up until 1911, so RDR3 would have a few years with Sadie in the states before progressing south. During that time, players could follow along on Sadie's mission, and her narrative could also explain some of the unknown elements in the frontier's history, such as the destruction of crops in New Austin, Ignacio Sanchez's revolution in Mexico, or the mysterious Mr. Braithwaite mentioned in Undead Nightmare . All of which would further realize Red Dead Redemption's western front
