Red Dead Redemption for PC?

Hopefully we'll get a little more info on Thursday. If they're tight lipped about a PC port after a few weeks, I'd say it doesn't look good.
At that point I'll hope for a PS4 Pro version with HDR and a toggle between 1080p/60 or 4K/30.
 
I just want Gold Bars scattered around the Map so I can find them. I never found any of the Gold Bar in the 1st game but I seen G4TV had a special on all the locations.
Looked like a fun easter egg quest to do the maps were so bleak it was really hard to find them.

has Rockstar ever released a game simultaneously on PC and console with their last few big games?...I think RDR2 will come to PC but it'll be like GTA5...I wish they had come up with a better title then RDR2...the first game was called Red Dead Revolver, then Redemption...would have been nice if they got creative with the 3rd title
 
If it ends up being like GTA5, and we have to wait a year for the PC port, I have found a reason to buy an Xbox Scorpio next year.
 
Guess I'll be getting a PS4 Pro then. I'll leave it to the rest of the internet to kick and scream about the relative injustice of no simultaneous PC release - which obviously sucks - but RDR had such a profound impact on me that there's no way I won't be playing it on day one on the best available platform. I kept a Xbox360 around for the past 5 years just to re-play RDR every so often.
 
for some reason I always thought that RDR was an Xbox exclusive...but it came out for both consoles at the same time...

Xbox Scorpio will likely be out by then, and it should be a good bit more powerful than the PS4 Pro. Specs put it around 980ti levels of performance.

I'd be shocked if XB Scorpio was out in time for RDR2, and I'll eat my shoe if its got "980 Ti" levels of performance. They've always seemed more like stopgap/placeholder specs, kneejerk-released to buy themselves time to figure out an actual answer to the PS4 Pro.

However if by some miracle Scorpio materializes in time for RDR2 and it happens to be the best platform for the game, I'll begrudgingly make an exception to my MS boycott even though they're the biggest contributor to this console exclusivity mess we're in now, since they've been so hostile to PC gaming for the past 15 years.

Both are supposed to come out around the same time, so there's definitely a good possibility it will be out when RDR2 launches. As far as performance, if you go by the numbers MS stated for the console, it's definitely in line with what stock 980ti puts out. Whether it actually hits that mark or not, we'll have to wait and see. /shrug
 
Wouldn't shock me if it has some Scorpio "features" whatever those end up being. MS is going to push pretty hard for devs to take advantage of it and the PS4 Pro can take advantage of some of the same higher res assets and HDR.
For me, I just want 60fps and if any version of the game can give me that, my money is yours. Sadly, I kinda don't expect that to be the case.

With the PS4 Pro launching next month, it will have at least a year headstart on the Scorpio, so I'd be surprised if RDR2 shipped with any Scorpio-specific features. By the time Scorpio developer consoles are finalized it'll already be too late in RDR2's development cycle. But if I'm wrong I'll buy a Scorpio - whatever gives me the best RDR2 experience, principles and sensibility be damned.
 
Buying this on xbone once it launches, no way I'm waiting a year for this. (Hopefully the pc version gets released at the same time).
 
Related news, the PS3 version of RDR is coming to PlayStation Now which can be played on PC.

I can almost guarantee that developers already know what the specs are for Scorpio and are optimizing their games as such. And the fact that the PS4 Pro isn't even out yet and 4K patches are already being released is a perfect example of how easy it'll be to update or patch games to run on Scorpio levels. The fact that Scorpio and RDR 2 are being released around the same time (Q3-Q4 2017) there is no reason to believe it won't have Scorpio-based enhancements.
 
No mention of PC...*sigh*

I guess the best we can hope for is PC somewhere down the line like GTA V.

Probably.

This isn't the early days of the PS3 where porting was an absolute wretched nightmare. I like the odds way better here for a GTA5 situation.

The "PC is dead" stuff totally doesn't hold water. Those days are gone, too. PC gaming is huge.

Rockstar doesn't live under a rock. They know the demand is there.

They did well by the PC on their last two releases (Max Payne 3 and then GTA 5.)
 
Wouldn't shock me if a PC version eventually shows up, I just don't think I feel like waiting an extra year (or more) for it. The game is already a year out as it is.
Hopefully we'll get more information about a future PC release sometime before the game hits the consoles. If we don't, that's probably a bad sign.

I know I won't be waiting a second longer than I have to. My PS4 Pro will be ready for it.

I'll double dip on this if they call my bluff just like I did on GTA 4, 5, and would have on RDR but it never happened.
 
I was doing some research about RDR2 and saw that RDR1 is coming to PS NOW so there will be a way to play on pc, even if it is just streaming.

This. Rockstar isn't stupid...they know just as many are interested in RDR2 on PC as they were with GTA-V. Matter of fact, everyone I know is more excited about RDR2 and the ones who got GTA-V on PC have been done with it for quite a while already.

that shot at the 43 second mark looked so photo-realistic the first time I saw it...almost looked like a real time video...pausing it shows the CGI elements more clearly...overall the game looks pretty nice from a landscape perspective

I also think it's coming to PC but not anytime soon (probably a year later)...I always heard that the reason RDR never came to PC was that the code was really a mess and made porting it to PC a nightmare

The sluggish realism of RDR2 brought down the whole experience for me, I am definitely interested in a more arcadey experience.
That being said the Switch version of the first game runs like a dream in emulators already.

that's the main reason I keep putting off playing RDR2 even though it's been in my Steam Library for awhile...the game sounds tedious...gorgeous looking game and apparently the story is great if you can get to the end after many hours of slow walking and grinding

not on mine. maybe i need to try it again. last time i did it still sucked to play, fps varied wildly or i had to lock it. or i might just wait and see if this actually happens.
 
Talk about a blast from the past, I never thought I would see the day! I created this thread almost 10 years to the date...

As an action game, I prefer RDR1 vs. RDR2. With 2 they got way too far into the weeds with trying to have 800 types of food, a unique button for every function ever, item micromanagement, etc. It's 1/2 Second Life.
It's a great game (or at least a great story/setting) hiding beneath a whole lot of unnecessary layers. The first RDR was way more straight ahead "GTA in the old west" and I liked that about it.
Hopefully whatever this ends up being gets a graphical overhaul, though. It definitely needs a new coat of paint.

It's better on rpcs3 emulator. Still has issues though. There are vids out there on how to get the best settings IF you have the hardware.
