Red Dead Redemption 3 is at a crucial point. The departure of lead writer Dan Houser from Rockstar, who was a key part of the series’ emotional storytelling and complex characters, creates a significant gap. If the new team tries to imitate his style, it might weaken what makes the Red Dead games special, resulting in a shallow sequel. Unfortunately, how can they not when the area surrounding New Austin is so important to the gameplay of the series? There isn’t an easy solution, which is why the team at Rockstar should try to build from a fresh foundation.
