Red Dead Redemption : Is Dead for PC ?

RockstarNetwork.net reports: "I've seen it over and over again, in at the Rockstar Gaming events and occassionally in posts on Rockstar News Wire to fans looking for answers about RDR for PC. That message being Rockstar Games has no current plans to bring Red Dead Redemption to PC. They never say exactly why, but an educated guess from me would be the functionality of the game for PC. E.G. the player mechanics for shooting, rolling, Dead Eye aiming and expert aiming might be to easy or hardder with a mouse."

PC gamers still going on about this? If you want it bad enough you will buy a console. You should have a console anyways. You can't call yourself a real gamer unless you have all platforms to start with.

I have all platforms thus I get to enjoy EVERY GAME. No crying from me because so and so game isn't on so and so platform.

Bring the heat i'v got my special flame "retard-ant" suit on.

LOL

Rageanitus5224d ago

I'm a gamer..... got rid of my wii (waste of money IMO).

I don't have the move or kinect..... I guess I am not a gamer /s

3GenGames5224d ago

*Has over 300 NES games, my own NES game, 400 Atari, 100 N64+SNES combined, and isn't even a gamer*

Sure thing man.

KING855224d ago

Sorry, but I respectfully disagree as I don't see why you need to have all gaming platforms to be a "real gamer". Perhaps one may need another console platform, but all may not serve any useful purpose as you would only be buying to play maybe one game or preferred exclusive(s). It depends on the persons taste and if I was a PC gamer I'm not going to buy a console for one game. At the end of the day I believe it was a business decision and they decided it may not be profitable to use resources to port it to the PC.

"It depends on the persons taste and if I was a PC gamer I'm not going to buy a console for one game." Very true. I'm a PC gamer, but I ended up buying a console as a "sidekick" so I wouldn't miss out on console only games (Red Dead Redemption was one of those games). I went with the PS3 because I liked it's lineup of exclusives better than the 360. Plus, since my console is only a "sidekick", I didn't want to pay MS $50 a year for the privilege to play the occasional console game online. So far, the PC and PS3 has been a great gaming combo. Looking forward to Twisted Metal later this month.

opinska5224d ago

yeah? so I assume u got wii, ps3, 360, psvita, and pc?
If so you gotta be a rich as@ mofo. Not everyone have so much money to spend on games and game platforms, that's why people tend to stick to the best console that they think have the best games; or get a good pc.

it's ok...... games from rock* tend to feel that are games made for consoles!. Never liked the GTA series on the pc.

PC games are meant more for FPS, RTS, and complex RPGS.

kevnb5224d ago

the pc audience is broader than that, r* games of today might do best on console but it doesnt mean nobody playing on pc would like them. Thats like not making ps3 versions of certain games because the 360 version will sell much more.

Rageanitus5224d ago

my point is if you really wanted to play these games.... you would have aleady owned the console to play them...

Its like waiting and expecting mario to be n the pc.

RedDeadLB5224d ago

Plus, their PC developing skills are.. how should I put it gently.. Horrible?

kevnb5224d ago

thats because they get some other team under the umbrella to port the pc versions.

bahabeast5224d ago (Edited 5224d ago )

its ok 2 be a pc gamer but IMO the best games are on consoles soo buy one or 2 and have best of three worlds

no offence but wii dnt count cud borrow one

pandehz5224d ago (Edited 5224d ago )

If they never wanted to make RDR on PC lets leave it that way.

We dont need another unoptimised shoddy port like GTAIV was. Soon they'll be saying RDR needs 16 gb ram and 2 i7 processors lol.

Who remembers GTAIV's terrible performance even on the best computers?

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?!’

Alek83138d 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.

darthv72140d ago

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

Lionsguard139d ago

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

TheColbertinator139d 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_drake139d 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

Petebloodyonion172d 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.

Hypertension140172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

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