Is this a real chance for all of the xboxers and ps3ers to join together for once and troll the pc section saying "nyah nyah pants on fire no red dead for the mouses wire"? and who said console gameing was dying!

Comeon consolers, let us for a minute let peace reign for a while. Let us become the cowboys off of brokeback mountain and share the same small tent while not letting the Pc gamer in. No licking each others butts though. ;)

Wonder where that LOLconsoles fool is at right now... Just sayin.'

But anyways, it really is a shame that the PC fellows will not be able to play this their way. Sure, I'm sick of the elitists, but the same can be said of console fanboys. There really is no need to demonize the majority of PC gamers.

Anyways, this game plus mod support and the extra graphics effects that modern GPUs are capable of would have been absolutely killer. At the shame time, while it is definitely a shame, I guess if Rockstar San Diego doesn't feel like they are capable of properly coding the PC version or don't have the money and time to make it perfect, then they are better off just doing what they can do perfectly: the console versions.

i dont care...we pc gamers have a lot to play right now...

rockstar make some good ports for the pc, and maybe, just maybe we'll forgive you:)

mantisimo5855d ago

Are the disagrees because you'd like to lick Butts?

Akagi5855d ago

Valid point, except PS3 can utilise the mouse/keyboard. And screw your tent! I'm going to a ranch and killing everyone inside and claiming it for myself.

Winter47th5855d ago (Edited 5855d ago )

Good, now the PC supremacists could shut up for a while.

George Sears5855d ago

@lagoonalight

Every heard of something called emulation? Pretty sure when you say classics you refer to the PS1/PS2. The PC can emulate that.

karlowma5855d ago

Lol, I can play PS2 games on my PC but not my PS3 :(

dreamtheater875855d ago

All PC gamers I know have either a Xbox360, PS3 or both. However there are a lot f console gamers who don't have or have never even owned a gaming PC. So who's loosing out on the most exclusives?

Double Toasted5855d ago

If you're a loser then go right ahead. I honestly didn't think there were that many pc gamers on here for console owners to team up on. Whatever floats your boat though.

On topic: This is...kinda' sucky, lol. Nah, really that sucks for pc gamers because RDR looks awesome.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5855d ago

Looks like PS3 version is the right choice to buy this game.

I really was waiting the PC version.

I hope there's a PC version for mods later on. I'm getting the PS3 version and im hoping it will look as great as those screen shots but then again they're so tiny just like how LP2 looks like on screen shots compared to actual gameplay full of jaggies.

It better be at least 720p this time around without all that blurriness and pop ups that GTA4 had.

GTA4 all over again.

PC version will most likely be released at Christmas.

Ocelot5255855d ago

but a stable and glitch free version will never be released

BYE5855d ago

Red Dead Revolver wasn't on PC so I don't think this will be.

ThanatosDMC5855d ago

It might since Red Dead Revolver isnt as big as Redemption. Also, it's being advertised like a full GTA game.

dirthurts5855d ago

These guys suck at pc games anyway. Worst coding ever on GTA4.

Ocelot5255855d ago

they don't suck at coding on the PC, the PC is just not interesting for rockstar like the PS3 is(or now was) for valve

low budget and tight deadlines for ports = scuky ports like GTA4-PC and Orange box-PS3

dirthurts5855d ago

How is high end gaming not interesting? Direct X 11? The latest video technologies?
I know I would totally prefer to have to work within 512mb ram for audio, video and gameplay. There is no way I would want to see what could be done with a 1gb video card, and 4gb or more of ram. No way. Too much freedom. I'm sure that DX9 is totally fresh and new too.
Seriously though. I can see budget being a factor, but mostly it's laziness. There is a lot more work to make a pc game run well across the board, than a simple console game where all your hardware is predetermined.

OpenGL5855d ago

They don't just suck at the PC, they suck at every platform. Sure GTA IV LOOKED great on the PS3 and 360, but they both suffered from a terrible frame rate. Every game play video I've seen of Red Dead Redemption looks as though it has the same problem, although I hope that is not the case.

dirthurts5855d ago

Looking over the videos this does seem to be true.
Let's hope they pull off at least a stead 30fps.

led10905855d ago

the weird thing is that might actually mean that they are 'shooting'(in the context of the whole cowboy shoot-em up thingy that the game stands for) for a pc release sometime in the future

Rowsdower5855d ago

perhaps the date that their shooting for (in terms of a PC release) is currently a moving target.

ultramoot5855d ago

I didn't even know the game existed 5 minutes ago, so I really don't care. It's better they not embarrass themselves by giving us another s**ty port like GTA4.

poindat5855d ago

"I didn't even know the game existed 5 minutes ago"

Please give me your gaming card and exit the building. Seriously bro, where have you been? This is bound to be one of the biggest games of the year (or even the decade) and you've never heard of it? That's pretty surprising to me, but I don't know, I guess it's possible. Somehow.

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

Red Dead Redemption hits 3.3 million Netflix downloads on mobile, underscoring how subscription access drives reach over paid sales.

More like people don't play these type of games on their phone normally and don't try them out. Not like the places where people do play these games haven't crushed those numbers easily.

How many people actually played more than an hour of the game or came close to finishing it on mobile is the real question. If people aren't playing the games to a point that is purposeful, then why try when a subscription that is behind a streaming service isn't a sign of success but just curiosity.

What if Netflix becomes ‘the Netflix of gaming?!’

Alek83130d ago

I downloaded it because I already have a Netflix sub.
I am not going to buy it for $40 or whatever it costs on Google Play.

I tried it out and will be sticking to the PC version, but it's not bad.

Having said that, this is the issues I see vs the PC version:
1. Greatly reduced texture resolution.
2. Massive downgrade ALL lighting quality (this includes water, shadows, etc).
3. Stutter and heat. Prolonged play leads to both.
On the plus side, we have:
4. This thing is like 6GB vs the 12 on Steam.

Great way to try the game, but not the best way to play it.

darthv72132d ago

Perhaps Netflix will make a RDR series now that ST is done with.

Lionsguard131d ago

A Netflix version of RDR?... Oh boy... I can't wait... /s

TheColbertinator131d ago

They should build a production that includes members behind the True Grit remake and Hell on Wheels from AMC. Both were perfect for wild west vibes.

gold_drake131d ago

but i doubt people ACTUALLY played it on smartphone vs tried it out.

Another free update...good to know but I don't own a series X

Petebloodyonion164d ago

I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I had no trouble getting the free update—you basically get the new game for free if you have the 360 version in your digital library. Maybe the problem is related to owning or not owning the Undead DLC expansion.

Hypertension140164d ago (Edited 164d ago )

Yea I think thats what it is. I also own the game but not the expansion, and im unable to download the update.
