[WIP|V] Red Dead Redemption V

 

Bummer. I mean it does make sense for a cease & desist from R* and perhaps interferes with the notion of RDR2 coming this year.

rockstar games used to be so involved with the community the modding community aswell now i barely recognize them

 

it's like they specifically do not want red dead redemption on pc why i don't know

I didn't get to watch, oh well.

 

 

 

That's my video btw. I was so excited.

 

But this is HEARTBREAKING if Rockstar actually C&D'd this

They did. There is no reason for the trailer to just be taken down so quickly.

Rockstar don't know about the Streisand effect :V

let's hope the files accidentally leak

Why would they take this down immediately but not bother with other conversation projects doing the same thing?

because red dead is not on pc thats my theory

Pretty sure that was not Rockstar. If anything, blame Take-Two.

you are right

So... RIP a couple years of research and work?

 

I don't even know why R* would C&D this. It's not like it would ruin the sales of a last gen game which was never released on PC..

It was Take2. They handle the legal side of things.

 

They seem to be really interested in keeping Red Dead off PC.

Don't speculate to shift blame, just saying, not saying.

 

By the way, totally unrelated but I'd like to remind people that Red Dead Redemption is available to buy digitally for the PlayStation 3 via PSN and Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Store. It's time like this Rockstar need to be rewarded for the huge potential sales loss this mod would have brought.

Let's look at this from both sides.

 

 

Reasons Take 2 wouldn't want this mod on PC:

 

they're planning on porting Red Dead Redemption

 

they think this will stop people from buying RDR2

 

they hate PC players?

 

 

Reasons the creator would of taken down the trailer:

 

Didn't want GTA YouTubers making clickbait videos using the footage

 

Take 2 told them to

 

Team wants to make a proper trailer

 

????

 

 

Seems like Take 2 asked for the team to take it down but we have no confirmation yet. You guys should wait before telling Rockstar to go f*ck themself on twitter. If the creator was asked to take it down it would of been Take 2 not Rockstar Games.

Man, how cheap are SD cards now? I'm amazed at the price, and how people speculate.

Yeah, it's a bit pity.

Then... The mod is on the way to the death?

it already is dead murdered

.white Team is probably going to announce a new teaser trailer for the announcement of whether or not the project has been taken down. There should be an announcement for this announcement shortly.

I know this is hard pill to swallow, but as you may have noticed we did get contacted , and we sadly have to say we are stopping this project.

So thanks guys, we were all so happy to see this, but it isn't going to happen, sorry

for f*ck sakes Take2. If you aint going to release good PC port of RDR2 1 then f*ck you.

For the record this was never going to be a "pc port" it was just gonna be the map ...

 

Undertaking this sort of a project with additional content ported over was never feasable , we were only gonna get a way to convert the map with both legal copies of each game , and some custom scripted additional content , there was never any intention or mention to either port a storymode over from RDR to V.

Even though this mod may be taken down, we will never forget the hard work and effort you and the .white team have done for the past 2 years doing something that Rockstar couldn't do themselves. Thank you and I hope this doesn't stop the .white team from making more awesome mods!

I hope you don't throw away the files, Take Two has probably got nervous about this may hinder the RDR2 sales, as with FiveM back then when GTAO was making money.

 

In few years maybe, when the hype around RDR2 calms down, you could try to reopen it and savor it as a fine aged wine.

Why would i throw away 3 years of work ! , thats insane man

 

We could always try ...

You can just finish it without telling anyone and then let some Russian hacker "steal" the files from you and upload them.

f*ck Take 2

Pretty sure this wasn't on Rockstar either. They apparently didn't even bat an eye at FiveM, but then came Take-Two to NTA. People use the excuse that Rockstar is "free" inside Take-Two but at the end of the day, this isn't the case. T2 own Rockstar, and T2 don't know anything about video games, just the market, which means that anything they deem a threat, they will act upon it, even if Rockstar knows nothing about it. Anyone remember when mods were featured on the Newswire?

 

That said, a very sad ending for this whole situation. I am wondering if they somehow thought this was redistributing RDR assets and thus took it down. I remember T2 taking total conversions down back in the day. To this day I still think T2 is at fault for the milking of GTA Online.

Sounds about right, it's not like they can require you to have the game installed to avoid this from happening like OpenIV is doing with Liberty City whenever that comes out.

Will you at least release the .WHITE tools you created, to advance the modding scene? Not being able to get RDR assets into V is one thing but user-created content shouldn't be a problem, and just to rely on those OpenIV guys to be open is also something.

Can't really be mad at Rockstar for this for this one as it involves corporate. They definitely took their precious time to stop the project.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what exactly is the issue here which separates this project from every other total conversion on this very forum?

 

All of this work was created individually and not stolen, was it not?
