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
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 click the up coming website page 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
Rockstar announced the partnership with New York-based Barking Irons yesterday, which features a collection of western apparel and accessories that resemble the same nods to authenticity as the realistic elements found within _ Red Dead Redemption 2
"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
Overall, CD Projekt Red believes that the final stages of the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077's development will "be better than The Witcher ’s finishing period" in terms of crunch. While this all sounds great on paper, Kotaku also highlighted that some crunch may still exist within the studio following this shift and that the development of Cyberpunk 2077 hasn't gone as smoothly as the general public may perceive it. One anonymous former CD Projekt Red developer even told Kotaku that "I’ve felt that there are hundreds of parallels that could be drawn between the story of the rocky development of Anthem and the story of the rocky and even-more-rocky-to-become development of Cyberpunk 20

However you feel about Nintendo’s plucky little hybrid handheld, you’ve got to admit that the Switch deserves some kudos. Arriving in the wake of the unfortunate Wii U, it sure had its work cut out for it. After a bumpy start, the likes of Super Mario Odyssey helped get that momentum going, and sales have been super solid ever si
Prolific retailer Target will also be offering similar discounts, and their sales, much like GameStop’s, will also apply to certain gaming-related merchandise… but that’s mostly for those who haven’t had their fill of Fortnite Monopoly or Pickle Rick plushies. Hey, we’re not judg
Nintendo’s own big-hitters like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee have been selling like the proverbial hotcakes, but that’s a given. The truly interesting thing about the Switch is that third-party developers have been embracing it too, to a far greater extent than most of Nintendo’s recent syst
There doesn’t seem to be any special deal on Nintendo hardware taking place anywhere, which isn’t surprising. Nintendo is notoriously horrible about adequately stocking suppliers with consoles, and Switches almost always come at a premium. That said, there’s a pretty decent sale on the publisher’s eShop which is set to kick off on April 11th , so those who prefer to get their games digitally may want to wait until t
"Absolutely. We’d love for it to be there. But again — and this is where there needs to be an understanding of just the development process — Red Dead has been in development for years, time that predated any communication of Nintendo Switch. So, from the developer’s mentality, they need to move forward and finish the game they’ve been working on and then be in a position to look at other opportuniti
