Some of the greatest films about war reveal that war is not what it seems.
And there's different ways of doing that.
And you've talked about different books.
The Thin Red Line is another book and movie that shows that.
And in terms of Westerns, what's the greatest?
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Unforgiven.
Those are for me.
Maybe even Django Unchained.
You've mentioned Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Clint Eastwood for you also.
Has that impacted your writing on Red Dead?
From movies to video games, when did you first fall in love with video games?
Literature was the first love.
Yeah, of course, because you were a pioneer of open world games that are so narrative driven.
So it's like you didn't have too many examples.
Yeah, I think GTA 3...
It's probably one of the most influential games of all time.
It created a feeling of an open world.
What do you think it takes to create that feeling?
You know, there was like these looming skyscrapers.
