Red Dead Redemptionwas a technical marvel developed by Rockstar Games when video games were slowly making big moves that would put the industry on the map. The gaming community looked back and reminisced how one small teaser forever changed the industry for the better.
Game developers went through a lot to get to where they are today and all the hard work paid off tenfold. The developers of theGrand Theft Autofranchise took a gamble by introducing a new franchise set in a different period which would have a niche audience but had the opposite reaction.
The World Was Not Prepared for the Success of the Original Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar Gameshas been in the game industry for years and made significant contributions to see it grow. The developers were renowned for the Grand Theft Auto franchise but had the time to develop a separate franchise with similar gameplay principles and the prequel even made history by allowingJohn Marston to be the first character to be playable in bothRed Dead Redemptiongameswhich has never been done in the past.
The gaming community took a trip down memory lane and ended up stumbling on the original teaser released a decade and a half ago and remembered not fully comprehending the impact of this ambitious project.

The original game is smaller in scale compared to the prequel, andthe developers even created a detailed islandthat is completely separate from the main map and is only available for one brief chapter. It is a testament to how far Rockstar Games have come from working on smaller open-world games to the standard they have set today.

No one knew what the project was until the developers were prepared to share more details in the following years. Some might argue that this franchise is even better thanGrand Theft Autobut that is subject to personal opinion and the developers piggybacked on the success of each franchise and used the same approach.

Unfortunately, not everyone appreciated this unique approach to revisiting a controversial moment in American history when the age of outlaws was over.The pacing of the prequel was slowerand it got the ball running by setting up the original game’s premise and it did wonders for the franchise.

The game has reached a certain age where a remaster is no longer an option but a necessity. Preserving video games needs to become a priority in a future where the original versions are no longer available.
The gaming community did not know what to expect other than another banger from Rockstar Games. Perhaps the studio can work on a third game after they releaseGTA 6.
