#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

What's it been like working with him for over 20 years?

#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

He's working with you still.

#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

He's kind of this flamboyant, colorful personality.

Much loved for being a voice also on radio in the Grand Theft Auto games.

Outside of the games you've participated in and created, what do you think are some candidates for the greatest game of all time?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

It looks like anything else

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Yeah.

I think they're known for this Nintendo polish that every pixel has a purpose.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Yes.

I suppose Tetris has that same real focus on delivering a pure gaming experience with as little as possible.

#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

It's really beautiful.

Of course, Zelda really pioneered a lot of the feeling of a world, but it's not quite open.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

For me, another really powerful open world is the Elder Scrolls world.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

It's role-playing, it's fantasy, dragons, all that kind of stuff.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Yeah, I think the Elder Scrolls series have almost always leaned a little more towards the open world.

And I think Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and Skyrim are games where you have millions of people that just walk around or drive around.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Feel the world.

And Baldur's Gate 1, 2, and 3, really interesting.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

They really tried to make every choice they make genuinely branch the game to where it's not the illusion of choice.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 – Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

It's really, choice really does something.
