    Rockstar: Red Dead a "permanent franchise"

    Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has called the Red Dead series a "permanent franchise," suggesting that more Rockstar westerns are on the way.

    This information was obtained by GameSpot upon listening to Zelnick's presentation at the Cowen and Company analyst conference. The CEO explained that Take-Two has launched a new successful franchise every year since 2007 and it would like to continue doing so with the goal of creating more long-lasting IPs.

    "I pretty much know the ones that I can assure you are permanent," Zelnick said. "It's obvious that GTA is a permanent franchise as long as we keep delivering this incredible quality; it seems quite obvious that Red Dead is a permanent franchise, again with the same caveat, or Borderlands, for example, and NBA and others."

    This suggest that not only will Red Dead be around for awhile, but it doesn't sound like Borderlands is going anywhere either. Granted that has the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC spin-off, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, on the way, along with Telltale's collaboration Tales from the Borderlands.

    I doubt it. Rockstar never goes to E3 anyway.

      Maybe just release the info (if any) around the same time to steal some thunder. One can hope.

        Maybe, but unlikely. They have no fucks to give regarding E3. They announced GTAV via internet trailer, don't know why they wouldn't do the same thing here.

              I'm a law abiding citizen with a Steam account 100+ deep.

              But if I wanted to, I could pirate them now on PC using freely available software that would make those bootlegs work. I can't, however, legally buy the games.

                I'm not trying to judge your character. I'm sure you're a great dude.

                Didn't you post in the Watch Dogs thread how you pirated that? Whether you pirate a few of your games or all of them...still a pirate.
