I'm buying this day one if true. I played the game on PS3 and absolutely loved it but the lower quality of the visuals was quite obvious IMO. I'd love to play it in hi res.

Agent-865441d ago

I also enjoyed this game immensely, but would buy it again for the PC. Just imagine this game in higher resolution and better graphics. Plus, think about the mods that could be made for it.

Yi-Long5441d ago

... I really hope Rockstar will bother optimizing it properly before releasing it, unlike GTA4 which reportedly had numerous big issues when it was released on PC...

imvix5441d ago

Well to be fair GTA 4 on PC came with too many options. If people tried to max everything out sure they would end up getting horrible FPS. People only needed to test certain settings. I found the shadows had a drastic impact on performance while not really doing much for visuals so i turned the shadows down a bit and the game ran liquid smooth.

HenryFord5441d ago

No - that is not really true. GTAIV was horrible on the PC, it had a lot of (proven) memory-leaks and tons of other issues. A lot of rigs while really powerfull and high-end-system had a hard time with GTA IV.
It was a shitty port, there is just nothing you can say against that.

And on a side note:
Too many options? Did you ever play a PC-Game before? I had a ton of games with way more options then that. Those settings are still "normal" (of course - CoD does not feature such things - you have a slider "brightness" and "resolution", that's it.

@Henry

Agreed it had memory leaks and the game would crash after 30mins of play or randomly any time basically, however that was fixed few months after launch.

I been gaming on PC since 1995. The reason why i mentioned GTA 4 had too many options is because of the distance settings it had. Setting a viewing distance too far didnt effect gameplay experience much however it did kill performance. Hence for the casual user it required too much work to study what settings needed to be turned down. Most people dont like experimenting like us enthusiasts usually do. Personally i like it when i have more settings to play around with so i can customise the game according to my taste.

I played it a bit on PS3, but I didn't want to buy this unless it came out on PC, so I'm glad to see this rumor.

Raf1k15441d ago

I wanted to play it on PC but I simply couldn't help it. The trailers looked so damn good and the reviews were great. I simply had to take the plunge. Even with the lower res and poorer quality visuals it was still one of the best gaming experiences I've had so far.

Theo11305441d ago

Though the dx11 and 3d makes me think it that is fake.

Marcello5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

Hmmm please let it be true. Rockstar are still getting spammed daily with requests to rls this on PC.

I wish they would just say why they havent made a PC version instead of just a lousy "There are no plans ATM" answer.

Sadly Rockstar have just become so rich they can afford to say bollocks to PC gamers after the GTA IV debacle.

Cant help but agree Theo1130 that this is most probarly fake.

Ranshak5441d ago

PC version of RDR is a day one buy. I havent bought the game yet just because i wanted to play it on PC.

Both console versions are running sub 30fps with PS3 version even being Sub HD. I would rather like to play the game in all its glory.

just_looken5441d ago

dont buy it day one every rage engine game needs 4 patches to become playable on pc and gtaiv on pc has a ultra low optimization. i can see rdr needing a gtx 590 10gb of ram and a quad core at 3.8ghz to load armidello. heck on gta boards top gtx 590 rigs running gtaiv get the same performance i get with a 285 rig. I hope this is false because of 2 things gta's low optimization and on consoles its a bad enough mess with issues on pc ugh no thank you.

God Let it be true, I tried playing it again, but It's hard to go back after being a pc gamer.

Oldman1005441d ago

I got the 360 version and i have to say its one of the best looking games ive played this gen. I can't imagine how amazing this would look on pc, my head would probably implode.

Red Dead Redemption Hits 3.3 Million Netflix Downloads on Mobile

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?!’

Alek8344d 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.

darthv7246d ago

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

Lionsguard45d ago

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

TheColbertinator45d 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_drake45d 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

Petebloodyonion78d 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.

Hypertension14078d ago (Edited 78d ago )

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