I ask myself this every so often too OP...

Bump for interest. I want to finally sell my PS3.

Cocksucking, motherfucking 2k and rockstar

There was going to be a PC release but Rockstar had difficulties developing for PC.

No it was apparently horribly coded which is probably why there is no HD yet.

that is too bad it had pretty fun world and multiplayer

i was surprised how fun it was even though it had the sp autoaim

>>331205472
Word is that it barely ran on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in the state it was released in, like a modern miracle we got what we did. And that porting it to PC would require a pretty drastic overhaul. Perhaps with it's Xbox One port coming this summer we'll see a PC version as well. A man can dream.

It barely came out at all.

sure cant wait for a windows store release.

because pc-s, at the time, were not that powerful.

you will eventually be able to emulate it. no idea when that will be though.

Xbox Store page was up for few hours, but it's just as part of 360 emulation.

rockstar in 2011 about the PC version

“But why no plans for Red Dead Redemption?” and “Has Rockstar abandoned the PC platform?”

“We hope that with the announcement that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall, and the knowledge that our next big game Max Payne 3 will have a PC release (plus that we’ve released both Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes from Liberty City for PC), we can finally put to rest any misconceptions that we’ve ‘abandoned the PC platform’. We do know that, yes, there is just one title absent from our PC release plans – that game of course being Red Dead Redemption, and of course we’re well aware that some fans have been asking for it. 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 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'm terribly interested in knowing just what kind of fucked up loopholes they used to make this game pretty much unportable.

Anybody know enough about coding that they could guess what kind of techniques they used to make it such a house of cards?

source faggots.
there is none

there seriously isn't. the oldest mention of this is some fag on IGN. from there everyone took it as a fact and spread it around. there was never any official word or leak that the code was fucked up.

san diego just doesn't bring stuff to the pc except midnight club that one time a long time ago.

>Is it worth 5$?
no
buy cash cards instead

360 and PS3 emulators are coming along nicely

There will be a 'PC version' within a year.

I don’t think there was ever an intention to have a PC version of Red Dead Redemption”, Robets said during a Twitch livestream. “I was actually super shocked that they did a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. Obviously in development, we were all PC-based and had it running for win32 clients for the entire development. But as far as the licensing for the consoles and stuff, it was pretty much always going to be a Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 title. To the best of my recollection, we never even seriously talked about optimizing it for PC.”
There has been some concern that Rockstar is moving away from PC games over the last couple of years, particularly since the company refused to talk about a PC port of GTA V for an entire year after the game’s launch. However, we did eventually get the game and it turned out to be extremely well polished, so hopefully whatever phase Rockstar went through with Red Dead Redemption has since passed.

Is the game just boring or is it the mechanics? what sucks about it? Is there anything it did well?
>>

Just because you know that Marston dies doesn't mean the whole game is ruined

I would much rather have a good port like Max Payne 3

>>331209736
Surprised you can read you double nigger
>>
>>331209597
nowhere does that mention that the code used console shortcuts, had no //notes, or was just generally messy

and I call bullshit on this:
>I was actually super shocked that they did a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V
i mean for fuckssakes, the PS3 disc had a buglog on it that had entries showing they were bug testing the PC version. there's no doubt it was developed alongside the PS360 edition, just like they did with Max Payne 3's development. they just don't want to admit it because

Honestly it wasn't that good. Generic open world. Generic story. Overhyped AAA garbage.
