Red Dead Redemption Not Happening on PC

Posted on Thursday, October 6 @ 13:40:50 Eastern by

Grand Theft Auto games are usually best on the personal computer platform. Aside from aiming with a mouse and beating hookers with a mouse and selling drugs with a mouse, the PC also allows for a wide range of modding to Liberty City and it's brethren.

PC gamers have been hoping to do the same with Rockstar San Diego's Red Dead Redemption, but the publisher's blog explains:

All we can say is that whenever it is viable (technically, developmentally, and business-wise) for us to release a game for PC (or any other particular platform) - we will and we usually do; unfortunately, that is just not the case 100% of the time for all platforms.

To help soften the blow, the blog post continues:

To PC gamers, we hope that between the Grand Theft Auto titles, and the forthcoming L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3, you'll have plenty of great Rockstar action to enjoy.

I guess there's still a reason to own a console. In case you were wondering, Red Dead Redemption is f***ing fantastic.

    Waiting for the GOTY Edition.

    and honestly, I don't really EVER buy games without split-screen co-op. Part of the reason why my PS3 collection is so puny compared to 360.

    This is is pretty disappointing. I was hoping someone would one day make a mod for the PC Version similar to SAMP. 200 person servers brimming with fun.

    Translation: “We could release it to PC, but we wouldn’t make enough money, so suck us PC gamers.”

    Yeah this. Probably has more to do with pirating than anything else. They're releasing LA Noire on PC because it might drum up a few more sales.

    RDR on the PC platform would be pretty sweet. Heck, I've actually bought GTAIV plus its expansions all over again on Steam, even though I own the lot already on the Xbox.
    Okay, the main reason was I wanted to try out the icenhancer graphics mods (it is like playing a whole new game!), but still.
    Would I get RDR again if it were available on the PC? Depends on the modding community.

    RDR is, like you all know, just ****ing Super. also my favourite game. but hell, part of the experience (for me at least) was taking in all that god-damn beautiful landscape whilst joyriding on my horsie on a full HD 42" screen. such epicness cannot be achieved on most pc monitors. yeah it might look better graphically but still....sittin there in the darkness at 01:00 in the morning, the *something* i just smoked kicking in and making it to Mexico for the first time...grand awesomeness all in the comfort of my couch.
