Outspoken industry analyst Michael Pachter doesn't believe that you'll be seeing a new Red Dead Redemption release on the PlayStation 4 anytime soon, despite publishing overlord Take Two's incessant hints. Speaking with Gaming Bolt, he suggested that developer Rockstar Games would have announced it by now if it was due. "I think that you'll hear about Red Dead at least a year ahead of time," he said.
He does believe that the label will have something in 2015, though, maintaining its record of one new title a year. "They're working on a lot of projects," he continued, suggesting that he expects either an all-new franchise, or a new entry in one of its less popular properties, like Midnight Club or Manhunt. "I think that they could get away with not announcing Midnight Club or Manhunt or whatever until E3."
But it's fresh intellectual property that the Wedbush Securities employee seems fixated on. "I think that the brand new IP that Rockstar has been working on since 2009 will be announced this year. Rockstar tends to not go to E3, so they'll probably have their own event in May or something. Knowing them, they'll probably have it during E3 in another city just to draw attention. But I think that it's a new IP this year – I don't think that it's Red Dead."
Of course, we suspect that these comments are going to scratch open an old wound named Agent, which was announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive many moons ago, but never actually released. Should the espionage escapade ever arrive, we wouldn't expect it to launch solely on Sony's systems anymore, but the last that we heard about the title was that it was still in production. It's not out of the realm of possibility, then, we guess.

Has pachter got something right? I reckon midnight club on the gtav ps4 engine would be a safe bet within 18 months.
Midnight club would be great.
I would buy Red dead again in a heart beat
They should remaster red dead redemption first look at gtav amazing work all the while making a new red dead 2 and a new manhunt would be great news
honestly...I would pay 50 for an HD remaster of Red Dead Redemption to keep me busy till we get either a sequel or a new IP as engrossing as the RDR series.
I'd love another time period for example.
@themcnoisy With the amount of crap he throws out of his mouth he always gets a couple of things right, using them as proof of his genius despite the much larger amount of wrong predictions. Like football gossip columns, link Player X to every club over a week or two and then when he moves to one you've already told your readers he would go there.
@GHO5T-08-12-80 No, they shouldn't. They should make another game but no more remasters. GTA made sense as it always should have been on current generation consoles but RDR? No. Remaster it next generation maybe, but not this one.
I would honestly take another RDR game over anything else Rockstar could offer.
@Splat I think I'd take a new Bully over Red Dead - and I loved Red Dead.
"Michael Pachter doesn't believe that you'll be seeing a new Red Dead Redemption release on the PlayStation 4 anytime soon"
Probably hear about it soon then! hehe
I want to know if Agent still exists.
I'm currently on my 3rd or 4th play through of RDR and have only owned it for a year lol such a masterpiece and still holds up 5 years later in my opinion. Can't wait to see what rock star has in store for us next regardless of IP.
@get2sammyb you should have a section called unlikely speculation and guess work and get pachter to write it. Did the order sell the 8million copies?
I'd prefer a sequel to Red Dead Redemption over a remake.
Pachter says it won't happen, FINALLY I can start getting excited about RDR 3! A Bully sequel wouldn't hurt though...
I still need to play Red Dead Redemption myself, stopped after the Chapter 3 I think.
@joseth418 RDR 3? Are you counting Undead Nightmare as RDR 2?
@ToddlerNaruto No, I'm counting Red Dead Redemption as 2, Red Dead Revolver was the first game back on PS2. You can get it on PS3 from PSN. Edit- Get on it! One of the greatest games of the last generation! I played it again late last year & it holds up wonderfully.
@joseth418 Oh yeah I forgot about that game.
Maybe after I'm done buying everything physical first.
