Rockstar’s Jeronimo Barrea has let slip that the developer still has a saddlebag full of ideas left over from development of Red Dead Redemption that ultimately didn’t make the final cut.
Fans have been clamouring for a sequel since the Wild West extravaganza galloped on to store shelves back in May 2010, though Rockstar has yet to commit to a follow-up.
Still, Barrea revealed the developer is pretty chuffed with the game’s success, particularly at how swift news of the title travelled via word-of-mouth recommendations.
"[We’re most pleased] either that huge numbers of people loved the game enough to play through to the end, and then encouraged friends to play it – we hope without spoiling the end for them – or at a more basic level… that we could convince that many people that they wanted to play a game about the wild west," he told OPM UK.
Quizzed as to whether there was enough leftover material to cobble together a sequel, Barrea replied, "For all the games we work on, we have a massive number of ideas that [don’t] make it in."
