Strong male leads haven’t always been too prevalent in Rockstar's games. John Marston, on the other hand, was an exception. While his back story was a bit generic, he had a swagger about him that added to his personality. But having a strong protagonist was only one aspect that made the game's narrative so spectacular. In short, Red Dead Redemption's premise revolved around John Marston taking down members of his former gang to save his wife and son. Without giving too much away, the narrative was a well crafted, filled with a likeable cast of characters and scenes that will have anyone sitting at the edge of their seat, but the ending is what made it and set the bar for emotional storytelling. It's safe to say that Red Dead Redemption went out with a bang (har har).

As we settle into this new post Grand Theft Auto _ **_6 ** delay world, it's become increasingly clear how Rockstar handles big launches like this. Although another delay can come across as a bit of a shock (even to some insiders), it's pretty much business as usual for the entertainment juggern

If you were around to experience the slew of issues that plagued Grand Theft Auto Online went it live, you may be a bit skeptical towards the launch of Red Dead Online . However, while at-launch issues are to be expected, it appears that Rockstar has learned from their previous online games and are looking to make the launch of Red Dead Online as smooth and successful as possi

On the other hand, Cantamessa did not initially realize that everything that John was doing that had a line that for instance said "Hey John," also needed to have a "Hey Jack" version, and this applied for all the open world activities and minigames like Poker. It required everything that John could do to be re-recorded as Jack, while all the dynamic cutscenes that involved minigames and similar activities had to be motion captured once more. This added "a ton of work" close to the end of product

It's essentially the same timeline. Knowing this, the second and seemingly final delay not only falls right in line with Rockstar's playbook, but **it could also hint that this is the last delay, and that GTA 6 will actually launch on November 19, 2026 ** . Rockstar would be foolish to avoid the holiday rush for what could end up becoming the biggest game on record, and this sets them up nicely to deliver before the end of the year, even with potential production iss

During a masterclass lecture held at the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris, Red Dead Redemption Lead Game Designer and Co-Writer Christian Cantamessa talked about the difficult decision that led to the ending of the game that fans know and l

"We’ve tried to take the best elements and best content packs from Grand Theft Auto Online and use them for templates for what we are making here," stated Needleman. "We feel Grand Theft Auto Online really only found its feet creatively with Heists. That pack, along with After Hours, The Doomsday Heist, Gun Running and a few others represent the best of Grand Theft Auto Online , and provided the template for what we wanted to use here, (not in terms of content, obviously, but how they combined narrative, gameplay, modes and other content into a cohesive thematic whole) alongside all of the elements we liked from the old Red Dead Redemption multiplay

It's practically ancient history now, but Red Dead Redemption 2 was hit with a similar delay. I nitially slated for Q3/Q4 of 2017, Rockstar delayed the game several months into early 2018, then again into October 26, 2018 , which would serve as its final date. For those keeping score, GTA 6 was originally expected in "late 2025," but was pushed to June of 2026, and now, to November 19, 2

Since it was developed by Rockstar, there were definite similarities between Grand Theft Auto gameplay-wise. Red Dead Redemption wasn’t just Grand Theft Auto in the old west, though; there was something more to the game. Sure, you could talk to your companion while you traversed the open landscape, but Red Dead Redemption had deeper gameplay mechanics than its modern counterpart. While the game was overall a standard third person action shooter, there were parts the completely stood out. It's a simple feature, but exploring every nook and cranny by way of horse was a unique and fresh way to find various locations. And since the game's release, riding horses to explore is becoming a more popular trend. The duels were another prominent feature. Utilizing the gunslinger mechanic which slowed down gameplay, duels offered a gruesomely unique experience.

In Grand Theft Auto games (especially those made up to that point) you can keep playing after the end, and killing John conflicted with that. There was the possibility of not killing John at all, but Cantamessa didn't think it would work. The story needed to go somewhere, and John's death was where it needed to
