Red Dead Redemption ever on PC?

Straz · 1 Nov 2010 at 10:42

Not had a look in a while but has anyone heard of any rumours or news that it will ever reach PC? Really want to play this but don't have a console atm

it would probably be quicker to save for a console than wait for a pc release,

It probably will eventually, in the same way GTAIV made its way over. Don 't expect it before all the console DLC has been released though.

I hope so. Game looks good.

Would probably be a poor port tho like GTA4

I purchased red dead for the ps3 and all though the gameplay was excellent the graphics were terrible especially with the framerate so low. When your used to 60fps. so i sold it back and got just over half my money back and am waiting for it on the pc. Even if it is a port similiar to gta it will still be good.
Hope the pc does get it

It seemed fine to me.

Game is hugely overrated.

mame · 1 Nov 2010 at 11:36

I thought it was really good. I only finished it about 2 weeks ago.

I heard on one of my podcasts that because GTA4 PC was badly unoptimized to a point were certain users were given refunds by Valve who brought it through Steam. Which caused bad press as Valve don't ever give refunds. It wont be coming to the PC any time soon, if at all.

I am playing it at the moment and the game is very good.

The graphics aren't the best but that is because the game is on a 4-5 year old console.

The game is good, but the online is just frustrating

would love a pc version of the game, quality game it was indeed.

GTA4 runs worse on the consoles than it does on a similarly spec'd PC.

I suspect Red Dead would run better, what with mainly scenery with just small pockets of civilisation instead of a whole city to populate.

Where have you seen this ?

It was a decent game but the missions were incredibly samey which got quite boring after a while.

The shooting was much improved over GTA IV though, I have high hopes for the next GTA if they add more variety to the missions. Red Dead and GTA both have far too many 'follow this guy' and 'drive here' missions.

Frapple · 1 Nov 2010 at 18:02

There was a statement/twit/blog thing about someone from Rockstar saying 'not in the near future'

Can't be bothered to find it, take from that what you will.

Was gonna pick it up for 360 of the MM in a few months when it's £10.

If developers don't want to develop for my platform, they're not getting my first hand sale!

Red dead is a good game, its not as good as GTA, but it has a great story line, but multiplayer on the pc would be better than the consoles.
