If you ever wondered how the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack was produced, Rockstar Games was kind enough to create a behind the scenes video to teach you that.

The Red Dead Redemption soundtrack is a perfect example of how music can set a typical mood in a video game.
For those who’ve played Red Dead Redemption; The first time you enter Mexico is a great vibe in the history of gaming.

Rockstar Games Writes;

Bill Elm and Woody Jackson, along with a team of accomplished session players put together a captivating reimagination of the old American West, and we caught it all on video with interviews and insight from the players as they recorded stem after emotive stem for the interactive in game soundtrack.

Check out the video below and look out for our own RockstarBase YouTube version soon.

VG247 blogger Patrick Garratt has blogged yet another rumor story, this time involving: Grand Theft Auto V.
It’s not the first time he wrote a story around a rumor, he did the same here and here.
But Grand Theft Auto V isn’t all, they are also talking about a Max Payne 3 event.

So let’s see what’s going on.

The title of this GTA V blog is entitled: ‘GTA V is set in…’
It’s a conversation between 2 people on their way to Heathrow airport in London.

At a certain point Grand Theft Auto V is being mentioned, and it goes like this…

“Wait.”
“Yes?”
“What about that story you mentioned?”
“[laughs] You’re shocking.”
“Man’s got to live.”
“This is a big one. And they’re about to close your gate.”
“No problem. We’re in an airport. It’s full of planes.”
“It’s GTA V.”
“About time.”
“It’s not easy.”
“I know. Did you get the setting?”
“Yeah, I did.”
“And?”
“It’s set in Hollywood.”
“OK.”

Then they continue with;

“Really?”
“That’s what I’ve been told.”
“Seems small.”
“Yeah, well. I didn’t make it.”
“Who?”
“Come on.”
“You asked Rockstar?”
“No comment.”
“Right.”
“They’re going to announce it soon.”
“When?”
“I don’t know. I think it’s going to be at the Max Payne 3 event. ‘Soon’ is all that was said. I doubt GI’s canvassing opinion on location for fun.”
“I saw that, yeah.”
“That’s it.”
“OK. I appreciate it.”
“No sweat. I’ve got another good one for you. Maybe that’ll help make your mind up about coming back from the US.”
“No doubt.”

Keep in mind that this is still a rumor and nothing has been announced officially  by Rockstar Games themselves.
However this is really great material to start speculation and hopefully we’ll hear something about Max Payne 3 and GTA V soon, keep your fingers crossed…
