Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Now Coming Spring 2018

Rockstar Games: "Red Dead Redemption 2 is now set to launch Spring 2018 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This outlaw epic set across the vast and unforgiving American heartland will be the first Rockstar game created from the ground up for the latest generation of console hardware, and some extra time is necessary to ensure that we can deliver the best experience possible for our fans."

Just proves that gaming season is looking less and less attractive when you factor in low AAA sells this gen thanks to to the holiday rush. I don't buy many games during the holiday like I use to just like pre-ordering is dying down. Sony imo has it figured out that's why they release their major games earlier in the year so they can see those maximum sells.

_-EDMIX-_3300d ago

I mean, not really.

Simply proves that Rockstar wanted more time with Red Dead 2.

I don't think they moved a finished game to spring just for that and are not working on it or something. If anything, Rockstar was going to own the fall with that game. GTA and Read Dead are the type of games you move YOUR game because of, not the other way around.

They likely just need to finish the game.

It could be both, but its more likely it just needed more time. Nothing else this fall is coming out that is NEAR what Red Dead is, they sorta own that genre in the fall time, trust me.

I want to agree since logically that makes sense and Sony track record proves it. BUT. Rockstar is a special case. Not sure how close you follow the devs, but last year they simply changed their Twitter icon from the iconic black and yellow R* to the red and black R*. And Twitter F'n LOST IT. RDR2 was trending before it was announced simply because of a color scheme on a logo. It was even the top story on N4G. A Twitter profile pic. Top story. No announcements. Rockstar is on a level where they don't have competition. Release dates are nothing but a starting point for sales. They generate hype like no other company. There's not a single game any developer could put out that would make Rockstar worried about it affecting their sales. If RDR2 and TLOU2 came out on the same day. Every single person wanting both those games (who have a PS4 anyway) will get those 2 games. If that means selling their old games, saving up months in advance etc.

Your crazy if your suprised by this

Blu3_Berry3300d ago

I'm in no rush. Just make it a damn good game.

Deep-throat3300d ago

Me too bro. But I hope this game will be on PC!

crazychris41243300d ago

Hopefully we get the PC version at the end of the year

0Day3300d ago

Would make sense since their "New Gen of Consoles" argument doesn't apply.

_-EDMIX-_3300d ago

Knowing RockStar's history, its very likely going to be the next year (2019) if it even happens at all.

keki3300d ago

it will probably be ported from console just like GTA V...and it was release to pc a year later..

cartoonx13299d ago

that cause there was a new console gen at the time. so they wanted to do separate release. this time since the game will be same for both ps4/pro and xbox/scorpio.

You think Rockstar views Red Dead 2 as a failure because it didn't sell 150m copies?

jznrpg209d ago

3 billion or so in revenue not including online stuff I’m sure they don’t

SethNW208d ago

I am pretty sure they don't. It was profitable and made them a lot of money. Not GTA5 money but far from failure. Maybe it is lower priority franchise, due to being smaller, but that is about the lowest they would put it as. Only thing they do consider failure is RDR2 Online, unlike GTA5 Online, that RDR2 Online flopped. Hence why it got less support. And when it come to profits, sales for both combined don't come close to GTA Online microtansactions. Hence why everything very quickly got canceled and GTA Online was top priority, so no GTA6 for a long time, no DLC for GTA5, despite there being 5 DLCs planned, at least I think it was 5, give or take one. But as I see it, they needed to rejuvenate interest and all, hence why GTA6 eventually is getting made. But what they are really looking forward to is refresh of Online.

ZeekQuattro208d ago

Only in terms of the online aspect of the game. They didn't support it as much as they did GTA V Online. I remember people being pissed about that.

jznrpg209d ago

I own a few GTAs but never played them. I love Red Dead though

Yui_Suzumiya202d ago (Edited 202d ago )

Boring and overrated. Red Dead Redemption is pretty good though. The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is my personal GOAT. We need more stuff like that from TooKyo.

victorMaje209d ago

I must be one of the few who are fine with the GTA6 delay. People treat that game like it’s the 2nd coming lol.

FIELDMARSHALL_P208d ago

My daughter asked me how I felt about I shrugged and said I don't care gives me time to finish up games I already have. It's all good let them make the best game they can.

RedDevils208d ago

Wish they make another Manhunt or Bully.

gold_drake208d ago

damn, thats a ridiculous number

The world they built is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, the game was mostly boring to me. I definitely had fun in some parts, but it didn't do it for me as a whole like the first one did. I loved RDR so much.

The budgets and time it takes to make games these days is out of control. Such a big risk. If a game isn't a huge hit, it is often it for a studio. Scary. I really miss the PS2 and PS3 days where studeios could make 4 games in a generation and take risks in making something new. And so many were using their own engines. Those were the days.

neutralgamer1992213d ago

Agreed. I love RDR but couldn't get into RDR2. The animations take forever and game slows you down on purpose. It won't let you have fun because R* want us to play the game they want to. I know millions love RDR2 and I even bought and own it. But just wasn't for me.

It's like comparing GTA4 to saints row 2. One game was about fun while the other was about realism and that's coming from someone who beat GTA4 many times. I much rather a game be fun to play than chase realism

YodaCracker213d ago

GTA IV’s realism is what made it so much more fun for me. I loved experimenting with the physics.

Storm23212d ago

I bought RDR2 also. Put 100+ hours into it and beat it our of respect for Rockstar and all the people saying it was the greatest game ever. RDR blew my mind but might also have been the best time in gaming for me personally. l loved that PS3 gen so much.

I am excited to see what GTA6 is like.
