Fred Armisen's Thoughts on GTA & Red Dead (via Adult Swim)
Saturday Night Live veteran, Portlandia co-creator/star, and longtime Rockstar friend, Fred Armisen, recently sat down with Adult Swim to confess his obsession with Grand Theft Auto as well as Red Dead Redemption...
"[Grand Theft Auto] means more to me than just me saying I really like it. First of all, when I play it, it takes me a year. I get so into it that I get very emotionally attached to being in the game. There are times I'll be away from Grand Theft and I'll be thinking of new strategies to try to finish the mission. I used to play it on PlayStation, and then I started playing it on Xbox. The first one I ever got was Vice City, which is the Miami-looking version. Then I got into San Andreas, and I even bought the guidebooks and everything. I never did any of the cheating codes, but I really tried to utilize the symbols and buttons.
Then I went onto the Niko Bellic version [in Grand Theft Auto IV], which is like New York. Each of these took me a year. When I finish all the missions, I don't go back and replay them—it just makes me too sad...
The most logical continuation of all is the one in Red Dead Redemption, which I consider the next step. That's a truly emotional game."
Thank you for the awesomely kind words, Fred - we are honored.
You can all read the entire interview here which also includes backstory on how he wound up doing a cameo appearance as a voice in Grand Theft Auto IV (you can hear Fred calling up radio shows as various characters while you cruise around Liberty City in the game).
R* > all
And what about a iPad version of Red Dead Redemption :-D?
We have so much in common R*, we need to go hangout sometime and get drunk at the "Triangle Club" or "Maisonette 9".

Me as a PC Gamer really like the making L.A Noire for PC Move And what we like from R* IS This 2 things in the future
1) Continue Make each one of your games for all the main platforms including PC AND Release it with a same date and quality
2) if possible RDR FOR PC ( WHICH I Know you mentioned before about it but because you are a great company we know you will consider this )
Thanks and cheers.
ROCKSTAR GAMES FOREVER.............WE LOVE THE OPEN WORLD GAMES
Oh yeah! and i hope in grand theft auto 5... you know what you're doing! This Ned Luke guy that is rumoured to be the main character? he doesn't look as though he can roll into cover slide over the cover beat up/shootup the enemy etc.. or even step off a kerb? What is he like 53??
GTA's have always had athletic characters... Claude is just badass. If the main character is claude. I jizzed.
I liked the GTA reeks i got all the games in my collection from GTA, and yes RDR is a emotional game that game i going to be a classic after 10 á 20 years.
I know that the western and R* lovers then still play that game 'Me To' (lol)
