Ben-DutkaMaybe we should read between the lines…
Publisher Take-Two Interactive filed a shareholder outreach document this week with the US Securities & Exchange Commission and in it, the company cites Red Dead Redemption .
The extremely successful title that shipped over 13 million copies currently holds a 95 Metacritic ranking and is revered as one of the best games ever. And in that document, Take-Two says Rockstar's 2010 smash hit "rejuvenated the Western entertainment genre." That isn't in dispute; I can't even name another successful game with a Western motif, can you? There are a few here and there, but none that had the sheer punching power of RDR, which is why everyone wants a sequel.
No word on that yet, but Take-Two has said in the past that Red Dead is one of their "permanent" franchises. Hence, a sequel is inevitable…it's just a matter of when.

Nice to see gaming keep Westerns alive. As we continue to rapidly zip into this world of constant technology and exciting frontiers I think there's value in the myth of the American cowboy.
when I think of hit games I missed during the last console generation Red Dead is one that keeps coming to mind. I see it's $7.49 on PSN right now……….
The online was completely broken until like 2 months ago, perfect time to grab it but you're gunna have to level up the old fashioned way, the 1 hour level 50 glitch was the one good perk with the messed up online lol.
It tells a great story.
Awesome atmosphere.
8 bucks is a bargain for goty 2010.
Didn't even know there was a western themed side of games to be "rejuvenated" until this game, a good game not one of the greatest of all time in my opinion though.
Red dead revolver
GUN
Sunset riders
Its not a big genre but it is a genre.
only heard of the first one after this game came out
This game was successful. The others weren't.
Good game,its not open world though
RDR 2 needs to start after the American/mexican war 1850 and follow 2 or 3 generations of the same family right through the civil war & into the golden age of the wild west 1870-1880's……..and also do season 4 of Deadwood for good measure!
I really liked RDR, but the online was not only buggy, but it took forever to level up. I gave up on it because of those facts, not to mention like in GTA, there's always assholes that ruin other people's fun.
See now I don't even know how to feel about this just after reading about Taketwo being bought by Activision. It hasn't happened, but if it does…
Absolutely loved RDR, amazing game – little slow to get into to begin with, but once it got going – wow.
A masterpiece of entertainment in my eyes.
A sequel would definitely be a day 1 purchase. Wonder if Rockstar will look at doing what they did with GTA and having a number of different main characters that you can switch between, maybe a native indian, an outlaw and a sheriff
well it'll be interesting whether they annonce anything soon or not aye
happy gamign
They've probably been working on it for several years now, wouldn't be surprised if we get a reveal and release next year.
