Devolver Digital shares hilarious tweets about Red Dead Redemption 2, asking Rockstar to publish it for the PC

114 Comments

Well, you gotta love Devolver Digital. Earlier this week, Rockstar confirmed that – for the time being – Red Dead Redemption 2 is only coming to PS4 and Xbox One. Now I’m pretty sure that we all know that this title will eventually find its way to the PC and Devolver Digital joked about this whole thing, asking Rockstar Games to publish its title on the PC.

Devolver Digital did not stop there though. It also followed with another tweet, claiming that they can do this in secret and that they could provide the developers with some awesome PC dev kits.

Needless to say that Rockstar has not replied to any of these tweets. NEvertheless, these tweets are brilliant and clearly show Devolver’s sense of humour. So yeah, give the ma responsible for Devolver’s Twitter account a cookie.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to PS4 and Xbox One next month and we are pretty sure that a PC version will be released afterwards. Both GTA V and GTA Online have sold well on the PC so it makes no sense – business-wise – to not bring this game to our platform. So, and similarly to GTA V coming to the PC almost half a year after its console debut, a 2019 release could be possible.

  2. Rockstar would never agree to this because it means their game would be DRM-Free under Devolver and I would 100% buy the game. But we all know how much studios like Rockstar, UbiSoft & EA loves that Denuvo filth. Nice tweet/pipe dream though.

      1. This is true. How ever Roxkstar does have a history of using terrible DRM’s in their games. GTA 4 had a nasty one in particular. If they stick what they’ve been doing with GTA V, they should be fine. That was a fantastic port.

    console debut: 17 september 2013
    pc: 14 april 2015

    I think that there is a mistake in article. GTA5 was almost 2 years after console debut. Rockstar released PC version in 2015 not early 2014

    1. 9/13 for TurdStation 3 and TurdBox 360. 11/14 for TurdStation 4 and TurdBox One. 4/15 for the superior gaming experience on PC.

      Also the math eludes you once again. 1 year and 7 months isn’t almost 2 years

          1. Your mouth is way too big for your britches little dude.
            I got money that says you sure as F don’t talk like that in public.
            Now shut the F up because you can’t back it the F up.

          2. “little dude”
            haha, give me an address so you can see my height for yourself you weak fggot cuck.

          3. Estonian? Just stop.
            You might be a minority of the muslim population there too based on your stupidity even though I think it’s more racism then anything else. Considering I am an Arab/German and not muslim.

            If you could afford to leave your country, I would gladly meet you, unfortunately I work and my vacation isn’t coming just yet, last trip was a year in Deutschland, a place you probably won’t ever be welcome. And if you aren’t arab, you are a leftover russian and I mean no offense to Russians as I have many friends over there.

            Seriously, stop. You can’t back your words and you only look sad.

          4. Arab/German only possible when rape happens, Polish people are one of the most honest people i’ve seen in a way that they never give a bs PC answer. Ask ANY polish girl if they like Arabs, if they’re 100 percent Polish the chance of finding a single girl telling you she likes Arabs is zero. Germans are close relatives of Polish people if they don’t like ugly browns, Germans don’t either. you are probably product of rape or pity seks at best. In Poland everyone says the ugliest people on earth are Arabs, i know it, you know it, everyone else knows it. are you telling me a pure German woman or man would willingly have seks and have kids with a filthy low iq ugly Arab?

          5. I asked the Polish person who works next to me if this is true and he said ‘I don’t know’ and suggested your views are a little extreme.

            Not sure what to think about the world at all any more! 🙁

          6. go to Poland ask anyone of they’d have seks with a muslim. I’d cut my head off if you get a single yes.

          7. We should really institute more rules to this game, otherwise I can theoretically have you cut your own head off in about 3 hours xD

          9. I mean the subject matter isn’t really funny at all, but it’s so ridiculous I can only take it as a joke. I have to laugh or I’ll cry, right? xD

          10. if you were near me i’d beat the living fk out of you you weak fggot. i’m 205cm tall and not to mention you’re probably a skinny bich so i’m very confident that i can choke you with your own weight.

          11. Dagoat, please remember that “ironic” racism is just as bad as real racism. I’m sure you wouldn’t say these things to people IRL, don’t need to say them here.

          12. i beat sand nyggers every time i see one. why wouldn’t i say these things to their ape looking face?they’re all bunch of weak midgets.

        1. So then according to your Pyramid the TurdBox One X is superior to a PC with a 1080 Ti?

          Does that seem reasonable to you?

          Also there was never a GTS 570 you console peasant fruit-cake.

          1. I check only GDDR memory available to GPU… Of course GTX 1080TI is a 4 TFLOPS faster than Xbox One X 6 TFLOPS.

            For me more strange is that new GPU 2080 from Nvidia still use only 8 GB of GDDR instead of at least 16 GB. Its funny that Xbox One X Devkits from 2017 have 24 GB of GDDR video memory… and new ultra expensive GPU from Nvidia use only 8 GB

          4. I’m with you here Sp4ctr0 but you can’t compare FLOPS performance between AMD and Nvidia GPU’s evenly. For instance the Vega64 has 12.6TFLOPS compared to 11.3TFLOPS on the GTX1080ti but the GTX1080ti is a MUCH more powerful GPU (around 55% faster on average)… The reason is the way these “FLOPS” rating are calculated. The Vega64 has more “cores” then the GTX1080ti so when the current calculation is done the VEGA 64 has a higher FLOPS rating. The problem with that is that the cores in the 1080ti are more powerful then those in the Vega64 so the FLOPS rating ends up meaningless. The same way as the new Turning GPUs have more efficient/powerful cores then the Pascal architecture. Btw… You will NEVER get any traction on this sites forums for opinions…

          5. That’s things that we told him already a lot of times…

            Nevertheless, the one behind this alt account just takes numbers, put them out of context to make the X looks good…

        3. comparing shared momery ( 9 video -rest system ) with only video memory? .. this pyramid is valid only into your brain!

          1. You’ve gotta laugh hard at his desperation in needing to hype the next Xbox when the current Xbox has been on the market for less than one year! Utter fail.

          2. He can’t understand the difference between system and video memory, he says the X is better than the 1080ti because it has 12GB vs 11GB. He’s so dumb I want to slap him irl

          3. His mummy must have dropped an original Xbox on his head when a baby. Or maybe he’s Phil Spencer’s illegitimate love child desperately seeking recognition…

          4. I see difference:
            – GDDR4 384-bit used in Xbox is 326 GB/s and is accessible to GPU
            – cheap slow DDR4 2600 used on PC is 10x slower only 34 GB/s

            So yes… I see big difference. Memory on Xbox is 10x faster than DDR4 memory on PC. DDR4 memory is so slow that it can’t be used by any GPU… it is simple too slow

          5. Once again you should have avoid to talk about things that you don”t understand…

            By the way, can you tell us which company is using DDR3 for its console since 2013 ?

          6. There are different kinds of memory for different tasks.

            System DDR3/DDR4 has lower *latency* – it’s better for the CPU. Only graphics cards really need the kind of bandwidth GDDR5+ provide.

            The X has one pool of GDDR5 that both the CPU and GPU have to share. So it’s not all going to be accessible to the GPU – in fact, the CPU may be using more than the GPU. That’s why it’s stupid when you compare the X to an 8GB PC card and say it has more memory. It doesn’t. The X is sharing that memory between the CPU and GPU. But on PC, the GPU gets ALL of that memory for itself.

          7. He’s so desperate that he takes numbers, put them out of context to make the X looks good…

            The one behind this alt account can’t face the truth…

      3. So you destroyed Sp4ctr0 Spencer’s nonsense with the facts and all he could do in response was pretend it never happened and instead post some irrelevant Xbox nonsense on this PC-exclusive gaming site. D’oh!

    3. The article also kicks off saying the game will TOTALLY come to PC eventually, which is the exact same thing people were saying about the original RDR for years upon years (it never did). The irony is palpable.

  5. Played Doom again after 2 years later, so many secrets left to uncover, I thinking I’ll play it again. it was PURE enjoyment, Can’t wait for Doom Eternal. I really don’t understand! how could anyone can play first person shooting games on controllers?

  7. Unfortunately very few PC gamers knows the beauty of those classics, Modern PC gamers are just on the hype of “PC Master Race” but they couldn’t left their peasantry behind and even on PC they want nothing but their casual shooters.

  11. I have finally become a filthy hypocrite double dipper. I will be playing RDR 2 on my Xbox and then on PC when it comes out. I can bet my life it will come to PC eventually but I still pre-ordered it on the Xbox just to get it done with. I simply don’t have the patience to wait for AAAA games like RDR 2 to come to PC anymore. Probably will be doing the same with GTA 6 as well.

    3. Spineless “men” like you is the reason why Cuckstar is doing this
      they know people won’t wait and they know people would buy it twice (one for conslown and one for PC)
      and tbh? game doesn’t even look good, the main protagonist
      looks like a degenerate white N*gger who was “Gun Slingin N shiet”
      with a socialist “wealth redistribution” gang of his

      wouldn’t touch the game with a stick.
      though i’m saddened this is probably the only DECENT western game in the market
      that and the upcoming Desperados 3

  12. “Now I’m pretty sure that we all know that this title will eventually find its way to the PC…”

    That is literally the attitude that Devolver are mocking. RDR1 never came to PC, what precedent is there to this?

    1. Why would Rockstar want to miss out on several millions ?

      The game won’t sell like console numbers on PC, but it will still sell an awful lot.

      1. I don’t know, why don’t you ask them like six billion other people already did, in regards to the original RDR?

        Reply

        1. Every single rockstar games after RDR1 came to PC, and GTA V has been a great success on PC. So it’s safe to say that RDR2 will almost certainly come to PC, probably in a year’s time, because R* loves money and loves to double/triple dip.

          Reply

          1. You’re blaming Rockstar for what Take-Two demands. You think they WANTED to abandon the GTA5 DLC they were clearly working on and foreshadowed in the base game? Of course not.

            Also, you’re still spouting off exactly the same sh*t RDR fans said about the original. “B-But every Rockstar game comes to PC!” and it didn’t.

          2. Where did this “innocent Rockstar being bullied into making more money by evil take-two” come from? Sorry but it doesn’t make any sense.

            Anyway, everything we know points to the existence and future release of a PC version of RDR2, and the only counterargument has been “the first one never came out on PC, so this one can’t either because…uuh…reasons.” So you can understand why everyone is convinced that the PC version is coming, just probably a year later.

  13. RDR2 will come to PC after Rockstar has double-dipped on the modern and then “next-gen” consoles. PC will get the triple-drip.

  14. Haha the fanboys loves to suck off Rockstars Peen. The platform that makes them the most money is the afterthought platform for them. PC gaming community are filled of idiots these days. Like children begging for porridge. I would rather Devolver spend their time shipping me shadow warrior 3, INSTEAD OF ROCKSTARS UNOPTIMIZED FILTH.

  15. It will come two years later and also it will sell a gazillion of copies. PC “gamers” are a joke. Dont take it wrong but as a PC gamer I have to say we are becoming companies drones with the pass of time, we arent that conscious buyers we were years ago, supporting good companies. AAA unoptimized, 2 year later than consoles port sells like a hot bread, thats why some companies see us like second class citizens.

    Reply

    1. “thats why some companies see us like second class citizens.”

      some companies see us as second class citizens because the PC platform doesn’t reliably make that much money for AAA releases, atleast compared to consoles. There are some games that sell very, very well (like the Witcher franchise), but the same can’t be said for a lot of AAA releases.

      That said, a good PC release will actually lead to so many more sales. Devs are starting to realize this. Ubisoft has started giving PC ports lots more options and support for peripherals for example (starting with The Division).

      1. ” PC platform doesn’t reliably make that much money for AAA releases,”

        Barely anyone does at this point, AAA games are too expensive most games that came out the last 2 years werent profitable.

      2. “PC platform doesn’t reliably make that much money for AAA releases”

        PC doesn’t always sell as many copies, but they’re all digital copies – not retail – so each copy is more profitable for the publisher and there is no risk of producing more copies than you can sell. And there are no used PC copies, so a PC release will bringing in money for years with huge spikes when there is a Steam sale.

        And it has to be somewhat reliably profitable or you wouldn’t see more and more series coming to PC. Look at all the Japanese stuff that’s moving to PC this year. Monster Hunter, Soul Calibur, Dragon Quest.

        1. everything you said is true, it’s just that for most AAA games, the difference is really big. They sell a ton more on consoles.

  16. Laughing at the childish man babies here. Can’t wait to play RDR2 on PS4 and probably again on PC when it eventually comes out there also.

  17. come on now

    Rockstar games are at another level. They take atleast 5 years to make and when they come out they blow everything else away.

    “Inb4 you can’t even compare those two games… Shove it…”

    >>> “Inb4 you correct me with logic and facts… Shove it…”
    nice defense, but it won’t change the fact that you can’t compare both games.

    “GTA V sucked”

    Says you. Vast majority of PC gamers say otherwise. You can go on steam to check if you want. It sold really well on steam too, and had a great PC version overall.
    GTA V released to critical acclaim on all platforms, and is one of the highest rated games out there.

    RDR 2 will probably be the same.

      1. wat? Basically he’s comparing them like Primer to Project Almanac. The latter is a sh*t movie for the masses. The former is objectively better, but won’t sell as many tickets because the latter appeals to more people.

    2. gta v was better than iv but overall it was boring i enjoyed many other open world games more…or the multiplayer, the insane focus on realism and american politics and culture is making those games so boring. Id argue the older gta games were using what they got up to their capabilities. Gta v did not even have a tank or a jet mission. Despite you can buy those after you finish the game. Which brings to my next point you cant buy anything in gta v because missions dont make any money, you have to finish it and the open world side stuff in gta v are freaking horrible. I fully admit i dont like wild west but rdr 2 was so borring.

      So much money is spend by rockstar to make borring games, i include max payne 3 and la noire in those .Sure the techonlogy is above and beyond other games but they are so slow and boring. His view that serious sam will be more is based on the fact that rockstar games are too realistic and borring.

  19. gta 5 was pretty disappointing after 4 so i dont care as much about rdr2. If it ever comes to pc i might buy it but theres so many other games right now that i just dont care.

    I’m a massive Seriou Sam fan , the first encounter is the first FPS game I’ve ever played so I hold the series a special place in my heart. So I agree with you on this :).

    But speaking for the masses this is not true.

  23. Devolver digital will have to censor the pc version because of the offensive stuff in RDR 2 like the did with SCUM so they should first re introduce themselves to the texan mindset before daring to publish a game about not giving a damn and being a hardened outlaw.

  25. I dont know about 4 man, 3 was meh. But having played both RDR and gtav and gta iv, i gotta say it, rockstar’s campaigns are BOORING i had more fun with gta online than with the campaign, rdr was too boring for the first 10 hours.

  27. Devolver ROCKS, unlike “Rock”star…

    also, i fail to see why everyone is so sure about this? IT IS LOGICAL YES. RStar is NOT a logical company. Do you people even remember what kind of BS they used to say? GTA 5 getting expansions? I can list a ton of other reasons too.

    They are as DUMB as EA and Ubisoft. DON’T care if they sell the most copies, if they are the best or riches. I know plenty of “smart” and “rich” people that are dumb as hell.

    P.s. I almost wish it wont come to the PC, so i can just make fun of all the deranged fanboys. This kind of attitude deserves only bad words and actions from us, not praise and love. Damn sheep. Baaaaaa baa!!!
