You could list 1000 reasons but it still doesn't change the fact that it will never be avaialble on the PC.

Sorry guys but it's time to get over it already.

chak_5067d ago

uh? Just like every damn rockstar game, coming 6 to one year later.

Why wouldn't they?

toaster5067d ago

FACT: 90% of commenters in this article have 4 bubbles.

WildArmed5067d ago

They probably will, once they've squeezed enough sales out on consoles.
They hope for the legit sales on PC when it comes out.. (piracy being the main way to get your game on PC).

Speaking of which, DID ANYONE bother reading the 10 reasons?
Because SURPRISE SURPRISE, they aren't in english.
The google translate doesn't work on it...
So.... why was this article approved?

NYC_Gamer5067d ago

yes it will release on pc in couple of months..

El_Colombiano5067d ago

Yeah this game is coming to PC. There is absolutely no doubt. Just like GTA IV never came out on PC.

raztad5067d ago

To play GTA4 in a PC is a nightmare. The requirements to get the game running just OK, nothing outstanding are ridiculous. A HD 5870 and beyond is needed for getting the game running at 1080p (1xMSAA) dunno if vsynced around 45 fps.

I'm guessing the average PC owner run GTA4 on 1280x1024 (or even 1024x768), mid settings and perhaps no AA and no vsync. Same thing probably will happen with RDR. How is that different to play the game on the xbox (the best version in consoles) or even in the PS3 (which still looks good).

iamgoatman5067d ago

"A HD 5870 and beyond is needed for getting the game running at 1080p (1xMSAA) dunno if vsynced around 45 fps."

That's a load of crap. The reason GTA4 was a nightmare to run was because it was incredibly CPU intensive, because it was a crappy port job. A quad core processor was far more important to that game than a high end GPU, even a midrange card was enough.

I don't know what the majority of PC gamers run it at, it's impossible to know, but I'd bet it looked a hell of a lot better than the console versions, which were a blurry mess.

El_Colombiano5067d ago

Dude above me is right. The GPU meant soooo little in GTA IV compared to the CPU. My laptop with a 9400M G integrated card plays GTA IV at a good frame rate because of the Core2Duo it's packing.

poopface15067d ago

Im sure it would sell good on PC. I dont care if its better tho, I already finished it on consoles. I doubt anyone who really wants to play this, and has a console, is going to hold out for the release of the unannounced PC version.

It would be a good idea tho, as this game is great and PC games would like it too im sure.

I cant wait for the single player DLC.

EvilBlackCat5067d ago

ANY GAME ON PC would be better

Great... another reason for PC blowhards to comment on a console game... fantastic. *prepares to be educated about how it's preferable to constantly upgrade a computer so all new games can be played at "max settings"*

hay5067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

Not constantly, every 2 years is sufficient enough to maintain "max settings" play style. Still way more expensive than one 600usd(Example made on recently most expensive console available at the day of release) console you buy and have fun on it for next six years(approximate PS4 release date based on PS3's lifespan).
Some people can afford it, some people like it, some are milking their parents. Probably most are milking...
Every working adult I know prefer console gaming over PC due to costs or lack of real knowledge about the console gaming.
Unless they earn sh*tload of money to upgrade whenever they want, but I don't know such people.

iamgoatman5067d ago

PC gaming can be cheaper than console gaming depending on how many new games you buy each year. For example, I've bought 3 full games so far this year, two cost £25 and the other cost £18, and that's on release. If I'd bought them on consoles you're talking £40 each, that's a saving of £62 right there. Added up over several years, that saving easily pays for the difference in cost between a console and a PC.

You also don't always need the top of the line hardware to play with all the settings turned up, just so long as you can live without having 8xSSAA enabled, even a fairly cheap GPU will do the job. Got a 2.6Ghz dual core, 2GB RAM PC? Stick in something like an 8800GT (£50 on ebay) and you'll be able to play every on high settings, 2xAA in 1080p. I wouldn't call that expensive, and It's how I managed for a couple of years.

Also, you get what you pay for. I built a new PC last year, not just for gaming but because my old one was aging badly. Having a PC capable of gaming isn't just for the rich, I don't even earn that much and I easily afforded it. You don't need some ridiculous 2K Alienware system.

You also you mention you think most PC gamers milk their parents, and that every adult you know prefers consoles? My experience is the opposite, every PC gamer I know is over the age of 18, with most being in their mid 20's, bought and built the system themselves. Whereas most of the console gamers I know are under the age of 18, and actually had the console bought for them. I know this is a generalization that "Kids prefer consoles", but it is much the same as "Only the rich play PC games, and upgrade all the time". Both are meaningless and hold no weight in fact.

seinfan5067d ago

Honestly, are there any fanboys more diehard to a platform than the PC guys? It seems to me whenever they put down the consoles, they aren't trying to troll or be funny. They really do believe what they say.

RagTagBnd4455065d ago

Hmm, there are a lot of diehard PS3 and 360 fans as well on N4G.

cyborg69715067d ago

True that. Bu bu bu we have the best community. Don't get your panties in a crunch I'm sure it'll be coming to pc.

SPARTANVI5067d ago (Edited 5067d ago )

This topic is about porting RDR to PC. I can't believe you two (Jimmy, Hay) actually bit on his red herring argument/comment about the cost of upgrading a PC. Not relevant.

The fact of the matter is, if Rockstar projects that the money put into porting RDR to PC will have significant enough returns, then they will do it. They did it for GTA, so PC gamers can hope.

I already have RDR for Xbox360, but will love to buy it on PC for my father.

It's not just RDR
any game would be better on PC

DarkFinalGod5067d ago

thats true, not any but EVERY game can be better on PC. they just ignore PC for whatever reason.

Raf1k15067d ago

I'd definitely buy it again on PC.

I've been tempted by Real HD Graphics. I had to.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming13d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long13d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming13d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10112d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor13d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6913d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming13d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno13d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming13d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast27d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg27d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

OtterX43d ago

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai42d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos42d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8942d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg27d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
