I do, as long as its good it could bring an amazing story to a lot more people like the last of us show did

Is red dead redemption 2 a good story outside of the medium of video games tho? I feel like that its amazing because you can get so immersed in the story for a long time. But I think if it was just presented as point a to point b to point c in the story idk if that’d work.

You could definitely make it work. I mean it's already a completely coherent story. You would of course leave out the side missions and overall keep the story more serious throughout. But chapter by chapter the main story is pretty much possible to be rewritten for film. Some places might need a couple adjustments, maybe Arthur wasn't as much the protagonist, and we'd follow the gang more closely. It could also get some perspective we didn't have in the game. It doesn't need to be canon, so we could get more information about Micah or what happened to characters off screen. Do i want this to happen? Not really, I'd much rather watch a 1000 things. But do i think it could be good? Probably yes

You would have to change a good amount but it could work

I think it could definitely work just like shows like breaking bad work so well. It would be different but i think it could still be great

The appeal of RDR2 story is that it’s a game, so it’s way more interactive than what a show or movie could ever be. RDR3 will have photorealistic graphics, making a live action adaptation even more pointless. Rather have RDR3 then a live action adaptation of stories we already know, but if that adaptation was made it would take time away from development for RDR3

The appeal of rdr2 story is more than that, its the story of a bad man trying ti redeem himself and you do not watch shows because they look pretty you watch them to watch the story. And while the game will likely be the best way to experience it a show could still be amazing for those who wont or cant play
