Rockstar’s Portfolio Of GTA Games Touted As Diverse

Rockstar Video games is extensively generally known as the Grand Theft Auto firm, a repute proprietor Take-Two tried to dispel in its newest presentation to buyers by stating that Rockstar Video games additionally used to make different stuff like L.A. Noire and Midnight Membership.

Along with reporting its first quarter outcomes yesterday, Take-Two launched a 41-page investor presentation outlining the corporate’s present methods and progress. A kind of methods? Persevering with to make a shit-ton of cash off GTA V and On-line almost a decade after they initially launched.

However there’s extra to Rockstar, the studio behind the eternally profitable blockbuster, than simply open world crime video games. “Rockstar Video games: Numerous Portfolio of Business-Main Mental Property,” reads the highest of slide 10 (via Twitter user Adam Dorsey). It goes on to element the success of not simply GTA V but in addition…GTA On-line and the GTA sequence as an entire. Franchises inside franchises.

Slide 11 factors out that Rockstar additionally made Pink Useless Redemption, stretching the 2 video games launched over a decade right into a trilogy due to the current standalone launch of the multiplayer mode Pink Useless On-line. Most studios would like to have one critically-acclaimed open sequence, not to mention two. However a testomony to experimentation and variety it isn’t.

Rounding out this “numerous” portfolio of video games about males using round taking pictures issues is slide 12 which highlights L.A. Noire, Max Payne 3, and Midnight Membership: Los Angeles. It doesn’t embody dates, however for these preserving observe at residence, L.A. Noire got here out in 2011 and hasn’t seen a sequel exterior of 2017’s mini-VR enlargement. Max Payne 3 got here out in 2012. And regardless of 4 separate video games and two extra remixes, we haven’t had a brand new Midnight Membership racing recreation since 2008.
