Red Dead Redemption
The highly anticipated sequel to "Red Dead Redemption" is drawing closer as Rockstar itself has given a possible announcement date.
From Rockstar's own blog, they gave a direct response to a fan question on when the sequel will be released.
"It's wonderful to see so much excitement and enthusiasm for the Red Dead series, and nearly 5 years after Red Dead Redemption's release(!) As we've mentioned when asked in the past about new games in other series such as Red Dead Redemption, Bully and L.A. Noire, we don't always rush to make sequels, but that does not mean we won't get to them eventually."
After beating around the bush, Rockstar then added: "We have so many games we want to make and the issue is always one of bandwidth and timing. We thank longtime fans such as yourselves as always for your amazing support and please stay tuned in 2015 for announcements of what's to come from Rockstar Games."
While we wait for the announcement to pan out as 2015 nears its end, a Reddit user "AnonDN1978" who has claimed to be a disgruntled ex-developer from Rockstar has spilled some details on the game which he claimed has been in development for the last 3 years.
Among his claims, as chronicled by WCCF tech was that there will be a PC version following the game consoles release and the presence of three playable characters-modeled from the success of "GTA V."
"The two 'main' characters are Irish and Seth. Irish will be brought up in Ireland and will move to the Americas when he is fifteen and moves to the game setting when he turns twenty one. Seth is from Kansas City and works as a teller in a bank. He then hears of a treasure and uses his life savings to bring his family to Texas in the town of Tumbleweed. Throughout the story we experience him unraveling to his state of mind in the original game, losing his wife, children, home, and possessions to his treasure."
Details on the other character follows. "The third person is a character you create similar to multiplayer in GTA V. You choose his clothes and horse. Although you can unlock outfits for Seth and Irish, the third person (Who you name) can acquire all different kinds of Western tops, bottoms, boots, gloves, and hats."
These alleged "leaks" should be taken with a grain of salt as they were sourced from an anonymous user and were not confirmed by Rockstar.
