The newer installments in Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption have fully blown away previous records and achieved almost-perfect ratings.

According to Tez2, Rockstar had plans to craft both remasters a couple of years ago but chose not to go through with the projects. The reasoning behind the abandonment of fan-favorite titles is likely to be the GTA Trilogy cataclysm which led Rockstar to the target of a plethora of backlash by the gaming community, as discussed by the insider.
The release of GTA Trilogy proved to be a disaster full of rampant bugs and an unrefined mess of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, sold as a collection that shocked the gaming community. It was unexpected, but fans still anticipated Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption 1 remasters.
The latest take by Tez2 in the community possibly debunks previously widespread rumors regarding the Grand Theft Auto IV and Red Dead Redemption 1 remasters, which many sources prior proposed in the community. Tez2 is a highly-credible industry insider in the community, but we still suggest taking the latest whirrs with a grain of salt.
