Itchy Thumbs has learned that a major UK supermarket chain is set to boycott the release of Rockstar’s highly anticipated western shooter, Red Dead Redemption this Friday.
Rockstar Games have leaked GTA 6 PC folders as well as Red Dead Redemption PC port folders in an update for GTA 5.
The official PS Store description of Red Dead Redemption has given away the imminent arrival of the game on PC.
I'll be getting this despite already having it on PS3. RDR is one of the few series I'd double dip for.
If you check the Sony store site, the reference to a PC port has been taken down. So right now there is no definitive proof but I imagine some sort of announcement will happen soon, maybe in the coming weeks. I'm picturing a fall release if it happens in 2024.
Rockstar Games had considered making Red Dead Redemption and GTA movies at one point, but had ultimately dropped the idea.
Both would make more sense as a series than as movies, though I think Red Dead would be far easier to adapt.
RDR would work really well. From the GTA universe, IV would work really well because of how gritty and realistic the story is.
You just know that it's a Rockstar game when you start reading boycott articles.
finally someone did it, now i have a reason to get it
Not every game is appropriate for every outlet. Red Dead Redemption is not a family game, but supermarkets tend to have lots of kids running around and generally being annoying. Red Dead Redemption is not a game for kids.
The game will have plenty of outlets that don't boycott it. If this is true it won't make any difference.
y boycott a triple A title like this?
got a little worried then as mine is on pre order with tesco.com. got a good deal for £29.75. didn't think it was worth paying an extra £10 - £15 for one of the 3 pre order bonus offers.
oh, and thanks to the guy who posted the promotion code on N4G, forgot his name.
