[edit] Merge RAGE

RAGE should be merged into this page (ZookPS3 20:03, 13 May 2007 (UTC))

I'm going to say lave it. RAGE is going to be used more often now and it would make sense for it to have it's own page. -Gamerzworld 21:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Rather then merge the articles, leave them separate but expand on the information on this page about the RAGE engine so people can get an understanding of the engine.--- RockstarWatch.net Global 06:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Could be worth mentioning

[edit] Controversies?

There's alot of suits explained in other articles against Rockstar Games... why not put them here? IronCrow 02:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Rockstar London into Rockstar Games

I have never heard about Rockstar London before but I think that it should have it's own page for now, at least until they produce more games or until we know more about them.

Thank you. Ore4444 10:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I think a redirect from R* London to R* Games should do very well, because the London studio is - as of what I know - only responsible for quality assurance and localization for the European market. –jello ¿? 23:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
post scriptum: The same with R* Lincoln. –jello ¿? 23:20, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
They are making a game right now, Manhunt 2.Gamerzworld 20:31, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Manhunt 2 was 99% made by Rockstar Vienna before its closure. London is just doing localization and porting for Manhunt 2, plus slight adaptation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.166.230.77 (talk) 10:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, with this knowledge an own article for R* London would make sense. –jello ¿? 18:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, there isn't really a need, Rockstar London is still a large company in itself and should be allocated its' own page as well. Plus this keeps everything in the same format, ex. all games get there own pages same as studios. --- RockstarWatch.net Global 06:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conteversial?

I had the right to remove "Rockstar is a conteversial ect." I'm not a Rockstar member, but I don't think they would appreciate that. Though their are known to be Conteversial. If anyone wants to put it back up, okay with me.--70.57.196.81 04:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC) HeavyWikiMetal

I think it's entirely fair to include any controversy on this page. Manhunt, Bully and Grand Theft Auto are all Rockstar creations and you will find substantial controversy sections in each. I think you're wrong when you say Rockstar wouldn't appreciate having such a section - they are clearly an unethical company who rely on this kind of sensationalist stuff to sell their games.

[edit] Proposed Merge

Could we perhaps merge all the articles on Rockstar Games studios (except Rockstar North) into one big article (List of Rockstar Games studios)? Because they are all quite small and are unlikely to get much bigger, so a merge might be better. Obviously Rockstar North is a big article so it could just have a "main article: Rockstar North" link on it. .:Alex:. 15:59, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Aquissiton by Sony

I heard Sony was aquiring Rockstar, Is this true? Starwarsrulez 05:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Put simply, no. --81.157.38.150 (talk) 20:47, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] fan site links?

i think maybe we could remove a few, 4 seems to many in my view, even considering the fact that this article documents many rockstar games subdivisions, the fan sites seem to be about rockstar games as a whole.--KerotanTalk Have a nice day :) 08:37, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Max Payne 3

What about max payne 3? should that be included? It's stated that the game is coming out in the fiscal year of 2009 along with red dead revolver 2. Look at the Max Payne page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.155.235.68 (talk) 15:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] American?

"United States video game companies." What do you base the nationality of the company on? Where its headquarters are? Not even a single mention of its British roots is fairly odd, I would say. Bloodloss (talk) 09:04, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Started by English persons, mostly based in the UK. Whoever wrote it obviously thought that it is American because the parent company is.--88.106.202.0 (talk) 20:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Their Websites

Is it worth mentioning that they do every one of their websites in fucking flash? And there seems to be no way of contacting them to tell them how bad GTA4 multiplayer and the shitty social club is?

[edit] Section: External Developer -->

"Bungie, of Halo fame, developed the game Oni. Before Bungie was bought by Microsoft, Halo was to be released on Mac, PC and PlayStation 2 with Rockstar as the game's publisher."

Halo was never Released on PlayStation 2!!!!! I think it was ONI what you mean. I corrected yesterday but it was undo today! Halo was ported on PC from gearbox! see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_%28video_game%29

--Deficiency (talk) 10:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes it was, before Microsoft bought Bungie. They even confirm it on their site. http://www.bungie.net/inside/history.aspx?link=billiondollardonut Gamerzworld (talk) 11:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Okay i have undo this. Sorry i have never heard about this.--Deficiency (talk) 07:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protection

Should we ask the admin to protect this article? To much vandalism!--62.225.150.98 (talk) 09:18, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
