Red Dead Redemption 2 in numbers (impressive!)

• The game was developed for seven years (usually it takes three to four years);
• The script of the main plot occupied two thousand pages;
• About 1,200 actors participated in the work on the Red Dead Redemption 2, 700 of which took part in voiceover;
• For the game, 300 thousand animations were recorded (this is very, a lot);
• Rockstar added more than 200 species of animals to the game - and this is the extremely accurate reconstruction of the fauna of America at the end of the 19th century.

The authors of the game worked too much - this led to the investigation

In a conversation with the New York Magazine, the scriptwriter of the game (as well as one of the founders of the studio) Dan Hauser mentioned that some Rockstar employees in 2018 had to work on Red Dead Redemption 2 for 100 hours a week, including on weekends.

This led to the scandal - many considered such working conditions inhuman. The publication Kotaku even conducted its own investigation and released the material with the heading “inside the processing culture in Rockstar”. The interviewed employees denied Hauser's words-they said that they actually worked 50-60 hours a week (that is, about 10 hours a day).

Dan Hauser himself said that only the scriptwriters worked for 100 hours - and then only for three weeks.

Meme with screaming cowboy

Rockstar said that Red Dead Redemption 2 will not have an Easter barrel with a popular meme about screaming cowboy. Fans did not agree with the developers - and added it themselves.

Perfect!
