In his tweet, he stated that the remasters of GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption were <strong>no longer on the table<\/strong>. He also speculated that the poor reception of the GTA trilogy might be the reason for this decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As per a reliable source with clear accuracy on Rockstar plans, remasters of GTA IV &amp; RDR1 were on the table a few years ago, but Rockstar chose not to proceed with the projects in mind.<br><br>The poor reception of the Trilogy DE might be a reason behind that decision.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GTAIV?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GTAIV<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RDR1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RDR1<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tez2 (@TezFunz2) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TezFunz2\/status\/1543974193259319303?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 4, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other sources close to the developers have confirmed that the gaming giant hopes that everyone will<strong> forget about the badly messed up release<\/strong> of the remastered GTA trilogy. At the same time, they focus all of their <strong>attention and resources on GTA 6<\/strong>, which Rockstar confirmed to be in development earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the focus is to get GTA 6 done and released to players globally, it seems that GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption remastered <strong>aren\u2019t completely out of the picture<\/strong>. Some sources believe that we might still see future remakes of these popular games after GTA 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We just hope that they\u2019ve <strong>learned from the mistakes<\/strong> made with the GTA Trilogy\u2019s remakes released last year. These games were released broken and were <strong>plagued with graphic bugs<\/strong>. These made it difficult to enjoy the games on any platform. Although updates were released to fix these issues, many considered it to be too little, too late.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, there\u2019s <strong>no official release date for GTA 6<\/strong>, but with it being their most ambitious project to date, we\u2019re hoping it\u2019ll be worth the wait. We look forward to seeing what the next installment in the series has in store.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"GTA 6 might be the most ambitious project\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/f_auto,t_article_cover_xl\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/03\/GTA-6-might-be-the-most-ambitious-project-in-gaming-history.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">GTA 6 might be the most ambitious project<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/gta-6.en.softonic.com\/articles\/gta-6-most-ambitious-project\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">READ MORE<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/gta-6.en.softonic.com\/articles\/gta-6-most-ambitious-project\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would seem that Rockstar Games has decided to shift its focus to the future with GTA 6 and move away from the past.
