Rockstar Games follows up its Grand Theft Auto blockbuster with a duel in the sun.
ROCKSTAR GAMES D OESN’T have much to prove after the runaway success of Grand Theft Auto V. The game has sold more than 95 million copies since its 2013 debut and raked in more than $6 billion in total sales. That makes it the most profitable single media title of all time, including blockbuster movies like Avatar and Star Wars. Not only that, GTA V sits in second place (bested only by its predecessor, GTA IV) for highest score of all time on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on review aggregator website Metacritic.
But technology keeps moving. Now that PS3 and Xbox 360 are the previous generation, Rockstar is looking to show what it can do on modern hardware such as the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X, which feature 4K graphics. On October 26, the company released Red Dead Redemption 2. Will it live up to its predecessor? Can Rockstar make lightning strike twice?
