Lol? He was lead developer/project director on GTA since the early 2000s. Definitely the most important person at Rockstar beside the Housers. They used him a fixer for their non-Rockstar North projects when those weren't going as smoothly. He was also sent to Team Bondi when McNamara was up to his shenanigans. So he didn't have an official job for RDR but he absolutely did in the company. Basically the #3 at Rockstar.
Sounds like they had a falling out, he went on leave, then something went wrong that he wouldn't come back.

It is a little odd to be seeing so many ads for a game that is a year away

My bad. Wasn't aware of who the guy was. The article said almost verbatim, "He didn't have a title at Rockstar"

Yeah that was bad wording I'm pretty sure they meant he didn't have a title on RDR itself. Atleast that is how I took it. He came in and "fixed" a game he didn't have any actual affiliation to.

*I apologize if this is common knowledge or has been announced already.
Saw this posted on an Amazon.com forum. April 11th. Sounds like PS4 users will get a small nod.

Yeah, there's no shortage of stories or evidence that the Houser brothers are incredibly talented ********.
At this point it's well known they were deadset against GTA Online from the outset, and it was only with sustained prodding from Benzies that it was given the go-ahead.... and has since made the Housers roughly a bajillion dollars...that they're currently trying to cut Benzies out of entirely.
Less confirmed but oft rumored is the fact that the reason the Housers were against GTA Online, is because they've long felt that the narrative/characters/storytelling are the real draw and artistry of the GTA games, and that the random wackiness/violence is just a 'side dish' to the main course. So a mode built entirely around that wackiness and violence and given equal billing to their beloved storytelling would undermine it.
...even though everybody I know agrees the mission design in GTA games has become boring and formulaic as **** over the years, and it's the wacky hijinx and violence that distract you on the way from point A to point B that get most of the play.
Basically, they're your standard narcissists. Just very talented.

Sigh...that stinks..but no suprise. Probably will end up getting delayed to the Fall of 2018 when it's all said and done.

Of course it's delayed. At this point everything they release. Expect it 2 earth seasons later. Hopefully they still show something at e3. What's the point in announcing a game for them? Do they really gain that much of an advantage? Cause there's no other reason
Day 1 buy btw

I'd rather they take their time on this as well...
This is probably my most anticipated game ever.
