I think everyone almost forgot about it after that, until a couple of months ago in May, when in this very thread we were as usual arguing about the remasters/remakes, that's when I remembered them mentioning it, at first we thought it was just a quote from the vg247 article until Kris194 shared a screenshot of the very same job listing that I kept mentioning.
Rockstar Dundee remastering VCS, LCS and porting them to PC would be a dream come true! Same goes for RDR1.Ģ019 September 20 - Ruffian Games hires for remastering legacy UI systems across multiple platforms.Īccording to the archived job listing on Wayback Machine, it seems to have been posted on 20th September. This could potentially mean that in the future Rockstar Dundee can remaster older titles while other studios focus on developing new games. I also think it makes sense to speculate that whatever Ruffian Games was working on was really good that Rockstar was impressed and acquired them. Now, Rockstar acquiring Ruffian Games could have been them simply 'expanding and enhancing' themselves as many people are suggesting but what's interesting is that Ruffian Games have specialized in Remastering old titles before, with the likes of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Which also happens to be the month before when RDR2 was ported to PC, so maybe the relatively small team which handled RDR2 PC port could have started helping Ruffian Games with the Trilogy during that period, same with other Rockstar Studios, I think it is not out of the world to think something like that could have happened especially if they’re remakes instead of remasters.
Maybe they didn't need more employees until the project got into full production in October 2019. We don't exactly know when they started working with Rockstar, it could be even early 2019 for all we know. This is the earliest job listing which mentions them working for Rockstar. On October 11th of 2019, Ruffian Games started hiring for unspecified titles that they were working on with/for Rockstar Games. I'm not going to include anything said by any leakers or data miners as some people choose not to believe them anyway, but if you're interested in that and trust their word, there are multiple posts by in GTAForums where they say the Remakes/Remasters is real and happening, so go check them out! Personally, I'll give them the benefit of doubt.Ģ019 October 11 - Ruffian Games working with Rockstar. I will be listing some of the hints and teases that we had over the past couple years that suggests the remaster/remakes are indeed happening, so that people who are new can understand why there are so many people here believing the rumors. The purpose of this post is to ensure that everything we know about the rumored Trilogy are contained in a single, long post. Note : This is a word-for-word copy of my post from GTAForums, I'm posting this here because of the below listed reason.
