Is Rockstar US? I considered the red dead series a quite hellacious RPG. Is GTA an RPG?

Rockstar is a US company, but the developers of GTA are Rockstar North in the UK. They used to be their own company developing GTA, when they were bought by Rockstar.

Red Dead is definetly an american game though.

Rockstar is a British company that has a studio in the US but they’re not an American company. Rockstar North is their original studio.

Rockstar was British, but it’s American now. HQ is in NYC, along with their parent company, Take Two.

Red Dead is just GTA with horses and a way better story. Calling it an RPG is a massive stretch.

What elements that you consider core to the genre is it missing?

The publisher is but the studio that makes GTA games is in Scotland. Not sure about Red Dead. Probably a collaborative effort between their studios, most of which are in the UK.
