“I do not know if there will be a bigger part of the strategy,” he replied. ‘Remastering has always been part of the strategy. We did differently than the competition – not only do we transfer titles, but we take the time to do the best work we can to make the title different for the new version, for the new technology we introduce to .

On GTAV’s upcoming next-generation console version, Zelnick said he was confident the remaster would deliver a strong gaming experience.
‘We did very well with the Mafia series, for example, and Grand Theft Auto [V] now going to his third generation which is incredible, he said.
‘It was a standard carrier when it was launched, it was still the standard carrier in the second generation. We’ll see how Grand Theft Auto performs in the next generation. Obviously, I’m confident that Rockstar is just going to deliver a great experience, but you can not do that if you just do a simple port. ”
During Take-Two’s revenue call in the third quarter in February, Zelnick gave a free answer when asked about the possibility of recreating older Grand Theft Auto games.
In a Q&A session, an analyst suggested that a significant proportion of GTAV players had never played in the series before. Given the huge appetite for Grand Theft Auto content, he asked for Take-Two’s perspective on further remasters.

‘So, Rockstar has not announced any new titles for the market, and if an announcement has to be made, it will come from Rockstar, so I’ll probably leave you there, and I do not think you would have expected anything different. of me, ”he said.
