100-Hour Weeks & Development Since 2010: Red Dead Redemption 2’s Dan Houser Speaks

Such is the case of Red Dead Redemption 2, a game that is already going to take precious HDD space from PlayStation 4s everywhere (and other consoles too). With such big shoes to fill, there’s gotta be a lot of sacrifices, right?
On an interview with Vulture, Rockstar’s leading man Dan Houser mentioned a lot of tidbits concerning the making of Red Dead Redemption 2. You may want to sit down for the last few key points though.
