The not so glamorous practice of crunch is one that has reared its head and come into the spotlight more than ever over the past year. Games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Anthem specifically have been called out for having particularly rough development periods, though there are many other examples. In a recent interview with Kotaku, Co-Founder Marcin Iwiński and Cyberpunk 2077 Director Adam Badowski highlighted that CD Projekt Red, a studio that actually has a notable reputation for crunch within the industry, is taking steps to ensure the work-life balance of the developers there is more sustainable and that crunch isn't mandat

This probably comes as no surprise to anyone (and especially not to the people still playing the game), but Red Dead Redemption 2 is yet another hit for Rockstar Games. In the first two weeks of sales, RDR2 sold 17 million copies, which is more than the original Red Dead Redemption sold over the entire course of hist

While crunch may not completely dissipate, hopefully CD Projekt Red does stick to its word and end Cyberpunk 2077's development with a period that's light on stress like Marcin Iwiński is suggesting: "I think this is the commitment we’re ready to make today, and we’ll be listening to people. We definitely open a lot of lines of dialogue here, and we’d like to start with th

Pinkerton plays quite the pivotal role in RDR2 . Andrew Milton and Edgar Ross play Pinkerton agents sent to track down Dutch’s gang. Along the way, they do a bunch of villainous things, like killing several gang members in a brutal firefi

According to The Verge , Take-Two responded to Pinkerton’s letter by counter-suing, arguing fair use and protection under the first amendment. As a huge part of America’s history (at one point, Pinkerton agents were even hired to protect President-elect Abraham Lincoln), the use of Pinkerton in RDR2 is simply part of the game’s historical sett

"We’re known—let me be humble for a moment here—we are known for treating gamers with respect...And I actually would [like] for us to also be known for treating developers with respect." Iwiński stated. He went on to say that "We’ve been working toward it for some time already...but we want to be more humane and treat people with respect. If they need to take time off, they can take time off. Nobody will be frowned upon if this will be requested." Badowski also highlighted that there are personal motivations for this change as well: "We are getting older, and most of the people who are responsible for crunch, they have families, little kids, and they feel exactly the sa

For most, the addition of the Rockstar Editor and a better photo mode is a no-brainer. I talked to a few members of some large " GTA V Snapmatic crews" who expressed their opinions on the lack of tools for photography/videography in Red Dead Redemption 2 Crafting Guide|https://Reddeadwildland.com/ Dead Redemption 2.

Barking Irons’ _ Red Dead Redemption 2 _ collection includes everything from undershirts to saddle bags, so that you can complete the authentic Arthur Morgan ensemble. Here is a list of the full collection available now, in sizes ranging from Extra Small to

Take-Two further alleged that Pinkerton was simply attempting to steal their profits, arguing that Pinkerton agents have appeared in popular media throughout history. Not only did Pinkerton agents appear in the original Red Dead Redemption , but also in various Western films such as The Long Riders , American Outlaws , The Legend of Zorro , and 3:10 to Yuma . A former Pinkerton agent is the main character in BioShock: Infinite

Going forward, Red Dead Online is where the action’s really going to be. It’s just the same as Rockstar’s other recent masterpiece, Grand Theft Auto V . That game’s still doing phenomenally well ( it was the 11 th best-selling game of last year, regardless of the fact that it was first released back in 2013 ), and there’s a reason for that: GTA Online continues to be supported with a steady stream of new cont

The Rockstar Editor's addition to GTA 5 was not just a small thing; the company pushed heavily on the usage of this tool - even going as far as to run a competition for submitting short films made in the editor.

There are currently 600 titles that are backwards compatible with the Xbox One console from both the Xbox 360 and original Xbox, however the company announced that every single title released on the Xbox One platform will be backwards compatible on Scarlett. In the video, it failed to go into details on what Xbox and Xbox 360 titles would be available on backwards compatibility in the next-generation. Fans are still eager to find out if all games or a limited amount of games will be included in Scarlett's backwards compatibility features, but it seems that the company are not revealing any of those details as of
