As a result, fans thought that the franchise had done it to work on GTA Trilogy. Although, this was never the case as Rockstar Games had different plans. A popular Rockstar informant revealed this information in his recent Twitter post. Here’s what he said:
“Remasters of IV & RDR1 weren’t in production, simply in the ideas phase and remained there for years. Rockstar’s plan was to start with the Trilogy and follow up with IV & RDR1. The decision to greenlight more depended on the initial reception of the Trilogy.”
