- Dan Houser says Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best work Rockstar has ever done.
- The rest of his favorites include GTA 4, GTA 5, and the original Red Dead Redemption.
- Red Dead is still considered the benchmark of open-world story-driven games.
Rockstar is mainly associated with the Grant Theft Auto franchise. However, the company also has some other outstanding IPs, including Max Payne, Bully, L.A. Noire, and more. However, the company executive has a favorite.
According to Rockstar Games co-founder, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the studio’s best work to date. Many fans will agree with this, considering the title is considered one of the finest open-world story-driven games ever.
Why it matters: While GTA itself is a phenomenon, Red Dead 2 is considered the epitome of storytelling and character development, with graphics that still stack up to modern releases.
During an LA Comic Con interview with IGN, Dan Houser went candid and talked about various Rockstar games titles. He talked about why Bully never got a sequel despite the demand, and also what he considers their best work.
Red Dead 2, I think, was the best thing that I worked on, the best single kind of realization of sort of open-world storytelling thematic consistency, and understanding how the games are assembled to take you on an emotional journey.
– Dan Houser
To this day, Red Dead Redemption 2 is played by many and adored by even more. Rockstar has revealed some plans for another entry, but fans have been looking forward to something new in the series for the longest time.
He further praised GTA 4, stating that it was another project where they tried to evolve storytelling. GTA 5 worked great with 3 protagonists as well, but it has its issues that Houser is well aware of.
Anyhow, Rockstar has proved that it is among the best studios in the industry time and time again. Also, we are now closer than ever to the GTA 6 launch, which is all set to take over the gaming world in almost 8 months.
