Rockstar has officially revealed Red Dead Redemption 2, however it appears that this title won’t be released on the PC. According to the company, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released in Fall 2017 for PS4 and Xbox One, and its first trailer will be released this Thursday.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is described as an epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland.
As you may have guessed, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be an open-world title and it will feature a brand new online multiplayer experience.
Unfortunately, though, it appears that Red Dead Redemption 2 won’t be coming to the PC (at least in 2017). This is hinted by the official website, as it includes logos only for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Not only that, but Rockstar specifically claimed that the game will ‘release worldwide in Fall 2017 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems.’
Apparently, this will be exclusive to current-gen consoles. The big question is whether it will be a timed-exclusive or not.
Rockstar has not commented yet on a possible PC version.

PC Gamers should really stop begging for Rockstar games, but instead
boycott them. They don’t know how to support the Platform that started
their company.
yeah that will really make them want to release it on pc. great idea idiot
Considering how much GTAV is making on PC it’s the best option.
yeah again. not buying their games is a great way to foster a desire to want to make to make them in the first place. yeah thanks for making this, but im going to call you a a**hole and not buy it. thanks again….f’ pc gamers dude. they are the whiniest bunch of losers out there
Dude, butthurt much?
im tired of how annoying the pc community is. i love playing games on my pc but the community is really the worst. nonstop complaining and begging. worthless people. and then turn around and pirate games that do come to the pc without any remorse.
Console also has pirates, cheaters, etc. only difference? Developers have good relationships with Microsoft & Sony, so they try not to say anything negative about their platforms as much as possible.
Plus, they have their own built-in DRM’s, & they never went through a “let’s propaganda the sh*t out of this “PC Gaming is Dead!” campaign in order to maximise the potential profits of this newly-made multi-platform market (which technically we literally just created out of thin air & new-gen hardware) with the PC Piracy excuse, & other such ludicrous accusations to make the PC look as bad as possible!”
Actually, in some ways, consoles are even worse, you just don’t see it because it’s not as openly displayed. Ever been in an Xbox chatroom? I wouldn’t recommend it, either. PC Gamers have reason to be so angry, you know; we’ve been shafted 7 ways to Sunday for years on end, no matter how much profit we make these f*ckers in the end, & look at this, here, the latest example of blatant disrespect to their own fanbase.
It just keeps f*cking happening, but what, according to you, we should just take it in the a$$, & then roll over for some more? Yeah, no thanks.
say what you want about the consoles. but at least their users actually enjoy playing their games. where pc players play for a about 5 minutes complain that the game is falling below 60 fps in one area and then quit. downvote the game on metractric and steam, and then take to the forums to defame the developers. its a terrible userbase
You do realise you’re literally talking about a minority of a minority of a minority, right?
I mean, seriously, you’re coming across as a real stickler for a tiny sub-group of us, that I’m starting to wonder here, what, are you an indie dev that got shafted by a bunch of whiners or something?
Yes, it happens. Guess what? It also happens to consoles, movies, music, air conditioner companies, car manufacturers, fast food companies, & everyone, & everything, because the right to openly complain about minor, insignificant BULLSH*T is enshrined in almost every-single law system in the world.
Maybe they enjoy playing everything gets thrown at them, because they’re casual players, and they really don’t know about videogames, pretty much like happens with tv series, sh*t tv series have millions follower, mainly because these followers don’t really understand if a series is well made or not, they just like what they see, as said, casual
prey is like bioshock apparently, not system shock
freaking consoletards
hey moron, console fanboys sent deathreats to cod devs for nerfing a weapon and dont exaggerate RDR run like 20 fps 480p on consoles.
If you “enjoy it” go play some psx games, they run better with the same amount of jaggies.
“i dont like pc cuz piracy”
denuvo also consoles have piracy too
“i dont like pc cuz begging”
Pc has the most exlusives and makes the most money
“well ok i dont like pc cuz people stop playing because the framerate is not peasant quality and people complain when a dev fcks up”
Well they bought the game, it does not run well, they got a ton more to play thanks to steam, what is wrong with that?
“well i dont like the community, pc community complains too much instead of being small minded gullible diots who believe in hype about power of the cell and go on fanboy wars on who has the best trash box and the best exclusives for corporations that treat them like crap and make them pay for mp let alone royalty fees”
Stupid pc gamers complaining about low frame rates, bad ports wanting more games to release on their platform and dont enjoy paying 60 bucks and multiplayer fees and have fun while doing it
facepalm
Stereotyping much???
Suppose we all virgins living in mothers basements too?
Why not throw in some casual racism, sexismy and homophobia too??
*Sexyism
I am racist, racist towards fu**ing console users.
You’ve got to understand, being a console player automatically makes you a casual gamer, consoles were created for that, for you, people who don’t know and want to know, how to really build and use, and hassle if needed with a pc, you’re the lazy part, the bad side of videogames universe.
Now call me racist!

If pachter told me he predicts rain, i would ran around with shorts and sunscreen.
WTF are you going on about lol?
Im a PC gamer, and what does console gamers being casual have to do with my comment about Doriando using cliched stereotypes about PC gaming??
Oh i wasn’t talking to you directly, i was just referring to you, since you used the word “racist”, nothing against you mate! 🙂
dont forget the jews. we are all 4chaners in disguise after all.
Say what you want about the PC. But at least their users actually enjoy playing their games. Where console players play for about 5 minutes, complain that the game is falling below 24 fos in one area and then quit, downvote the game on metracritic and ign, and then take to the forums to defame the developers. It’s a terrible userbase.
So your problem is that PC gamers are critical of the products they buy?? THE HORROR!!!!
It’s almost like going to a restaurant and complaining that your steak under/over cooked, I mean, who would do that, right? Just shut up and eat it!
So… why are you on a pc only gaming site? Why the peasant is here? Go away.
Go to play cod with 10 years old kids like you.
YES, we complain. We pay our own games.
We are the ones pushing the industry forward
And let clear this up. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/299b1ba46ee5619d78372d9323fffa50b823e10fe2d16039e34726394993b9d5.jpg YOU ARE NOT A PC GAMER. YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE COMMUNITY. now go back to dualshockers
No s**t, people complain about bad ports, it’s their right, unlike you slaves, they know how to voice their opinion.
“their users actually enjoy playing their games”
Death treats over making X game multiplatform or delay or changing the character. yeah, they are lovely childeren.
ok i take it back, if you think the pc community is worse than sony slaves with literately act as if they own stocks in sony and xbox dudebros there is something wrong with you.
I literally dont understand your “begging” argument, no one is “begging” the question is why some developers skip pc and yet choose to pay enormous fees for a console. It is idiotic considering how many exclusives pc has and how many indie success stories there are on pc.
As for piracy. denuvo, cant say it increased sales.
First of all, you misunderstood the OP, you think all this “dont buy rockstar games” are for making devs to bring their games to the platform. Thats not the idea, the idea is to pass this page and get into other games and companies that gives a better treatment to pc gaming. Your conception of the PC community is based in your wrong interpretation of a post in the comment section, lol. Unplug your internet cable please.
He is not wrong though, unless rockstar sees even more profit on pc, they wont bother making a pc version any time soon.
i take it back he is horrible
Problem is, that logic will hold forever (read: foreseeable future), since multi-platform development isn’t going away any time soon, & so, as a result, the whole “2-for-the-price-of-1” console thing isn’t going anywhere either.
Neither are Microsoft & Sony’s little “gifts” to publishers &/or developers, etc. etc. etc. As a result, the amount of money PC makes for them is irrelevant as long as Valve doesn’t act the same way as Microsoft & Sony, honestly.
That Valve must do. That fat monster Gabe must stop spending all money that steam makes daily from sales for his food and start paying game developers to make sure that all games will come to pc at same time and with pc exculvie features like 4k textures e.t.c.
Apparently it should make more.
Thats the idea of the author of the post, dont give a sh ! t if the game comes or not.
While what you said is true, I’m almost 100% sure only a small vocal minority will boycott them. Look at GTA V for example – 2 years after original release and several months after the 8th gen release – and people still bought the sh*t out of it. Hell, to this day it’s still sitting in top 10 best globally sold Steam games.
People aren’t prone to holding a grudge against game devs. They prefer to bite the bullet. After all, it’s about the quality of the product, not some ideology. If the game is good, why would one abstain from buying it just because it was released some time later?
LOL that won’t happen. PC gamers are loyal dogs to Rockstar.
Just dont buy the console version. Their projects are large, at some point there will be a pc version and you can bet it will happen sooner than gta v.
“Their projects are large”
And they earn a lot of money. Today is 45 milion of PS4 and 22 milion of Xbox, nearly 65-70 milion combined. Next month Sony will release PS4 Pro. At the end of 2017 there will be at least 100 milion of game consoles sold:
– 2013 Xbox One (1.3 teraflops)
– 2013 PlayStation 4 (1.8 teraflops)
– 2016 PlayStation 4 Pro (4.2 teraflops)
– 2017 Xbox “Project Scorpio” (6.0 teraflops)
With zero piracy… They don’t need PC to earn a lot of money. There will be a lot more “working” game consoles in 2017 than was in 2014 when they release GTA5

NICE edit mate ;D
P.S. The anime that comes from is called Gintama, if anyone’s curious. Highly recommended series if you love crude comedy, or even just great fighting arcs. The beginning is a bit slow, but it’s well worth getting through, really.
Or if you’re more of a reader, it is based on a manga (same name).
You have a GREAT taste in anime 🙂
Salute to you, my friend
Gintama FTW!
Oho! Always nice to meet a fellow fan 😀
Thank you. It’s a shame the Manga is coming to an end, but at least they’ve confirmed they’ll be adapting the rest of it ^^
Hopefully something that’s actually worthy of taking its place in Jump will eventually appear…..
You must be so angry…
You can’t play Red Dead Redemption 2 on your Steam….
You can’t play Battlefield 1 on your Steam…
You can’t play Gears of War 4 on your Steam…
You can’t play Forza Horizon 3 on your Steam…
No good games for you 🙂
You realise you’re not going to play it on Windows 10 UWP, either, right? >.>
Just to let you know i play only indie games.
Lol woth zero piracy… the brazilian ps4 hack is saying hello
Why would people buy the game again for ps4 pro?
“With zero piracy.”
Yeah that helped ps3 for 6 years…OH WAIT it didnt.
Pc also has “zero piracy” with denuvo, the only denuvo games that have been cracked were linear games.
“here will be a lot more “working” game consoles in 2017 t”
No idea what you mean by that, those “working consoles” dont mean sales, the game came out in 2013, everyone has played it.
The last generation of consoles also went up to about 100 million sales total (PS3 + X360 combined) by the end there, if not even more. Sure, that’s including Red Ring of Death, PS3 Slim, etc. repurchases, but so what. A lot of PS4 & XONE players will purchase the Pro & Scorpio in turn, so “100 million total” means nothing.
Which is what people need to keep in mind, really; just because a new generation of hardware is coming out, it doesn’t mean that the potential market for that hardware is about to exponentially explode. Ergo; at the end of the day, they’re still appealing to the same playerbase, no matter what, & that playerbase is still only “so big”, & “so interested.”
TLDR: “Mini-new-generation” consoles =/= exponential sales forecast. If they expect to sell 10 million copies of a game, they’re not about to double that estimate to 20 million “because new consoles!” They might, if they’re arrogant enough, move it up to 12 million, but again, that doesn’t affect the PC numbers, since the PC playerbase is completely separate from all that.
I read that GTA5 sell 55 milion copies on game consoles and only 6 million on PC. In 2017 RDR2 will be available on 4 game consoles. It sell at least 40-50 milion copies
RDR2 will be very good “starting game” for Xbox Scorpio. MS can create starting bundle with Forza Motorsport 7, RDR2 and probably Halo 6. Good time to buy 6 teraflops game console.
“As of August 2015, Red Dead Redemption has shipped over 14 million units.”
Note that’s shipped, rather than sold. Rockstar absolutely expects the game to make serious sales numbers, sure, but 40-50 million copies? You’re being delusional again. Grand Theft Auto is unique in its sales numbers because it’s Grand Theft Auto.
You can’t just slap the words “Rockstar” on anything & everything, & then expect it to sell “40-50 million copies” “because Rockstar.” Yes, the Rockstar label will get you extra sales, but it’s not about to quadruple them for you.
There are no platform-specific sales numbers for Grand Theft Auto V, just overall numbers as announced by Rockstar, & estimates based on SteamSpy’s numbers, which doesn’t take into account non-Steam PC versions, obviously.
Xbox Scorpio is Fall 2017, right? Well, Halo 6 isn’t. We’ve been through this already, mate; Halo 6 isn’t coming next year, next year is going to be Halo Wars 2, & Halo 3 Anniversary. It’s just way too soon for Halo 6, & besides, I doubt Microsoft is going to pass up attaching Halo 3 Anniversary to a Master Chief Collection re-release, featuring 4K + HDR updates for the entire collection’s lineup (or, at least most of it), in-line with the Xbox One S’ & Xbox Scorpio’s capabilities as a launch title for the Scorpio.
Other than that, yes, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be a great launch title for the Scorpio – assuming Rockstar doesn’t hold off on the Pro & Scorpio versions much like they did with the new-gen console versions of GTA V in order to maximise profit off of the PS4 & XONE versions first, just as with GTA V in turn. All we know so far is that it’s coming to the PlayStation & the Xbox, not which PS & Xbox, specifically.
Microsoft games are all on pc now no one is crazy enough to buy microsoft console for their games instead of getting the superiror version of them on pc.
Totally agree, sadly since the GTA V came out to Steam people cant stop buying it.
Yeah like they care… 50 million copies solid on consoles.. less than 6 million copies solid on PC as of the time of this post.
$360 million then. I would care. It will come. But will they make us buy it again for a year later PC release is the question.
That’s $360 mil to the $3 billion they made from consoles. Or roughly 0.12% of what they made from consoles. Look man, we can argue back and forth, the truth is, we’re no where as profitable as the consoles and we’re always going to be treated as second class citizens when it comes to gaming. Just stating a reality here.
“$3 billion they made from consoles” according to whom? Neither of you have provided links to be honest, & seriously, the gap cannot be that big.
PC AAA’s routinely account for ~1/3rd of total sales, & considering how they make more per-PC sale than per-console sale, I seriously cannot see the income gap being THAT big.
P.S. 0.12%? I think you might want to check your math there.
im not surprised
Big whoop. Their loss.
not really. the pc platfrom makes the least money so why would they care
Almost 6 million units sold only on Steam (not counting Rockstar Social Club copies which could be even more) is nothing to sneeze at.
The PC makes WHAT?
Proof? Evidence? Link? Source of any kind, what-so-ever? No? Nothing? Zilch? Nada? Aha.
The PC on average accounts for 30-33% of sales for any AAA game, AND they make more off of each PC sale than they do each console sale, so, tell me again, who makes the least money?
Besides, even if that were “technically” true, so what? You’re telling me greedy publishers somehow suddenly no longer care about an extra 30%+ income, “because they’re not that greedy”?
Get real.
400 million in sales in 2015. unknown amount of piracy. over two billion in combined console sales. but you will probably believe whatever you want too.
Again, source? I can asspull numbers too, if you insist.
Sales of what, physical copies alone? Digital copies alone?
No, seriously; when in history has ANYONE successfully obtained accurate sales numbers of the digital + physical video game industry combined? Oh, that’s right.
Never.
Don’t feed the troll 😉
Console games sold at least 18 quintillion copies in the last week alone, meanwhile the most celebrated PC game of all time, Rapelay, barely sold a few thousand.
Damn, that’s just sad 🙁
Awww, too bad your favourite virtual masturbatory aid didn’t sell very well.
What a shame.
Seems like now there’s nothing that can console you.
Perhaps you should start considering castration?
What? I didn’t mention dolphins at all.
if you sell the game years afterward what is it gonna make?
Is this the part where we riot?

I blame the Communists, for the record. It’s all their fault, bloody Reds.
;D
Yes part of where my foot ninjas and pc gamers/supporters attack Rockstar.
Pfft… bwahaha! well, Rockstar made billions on GTA V after all so they won’t be rushing on releasing their game on every platform
What the actual fuch R* ! what THE REAL FUCH !?!
ok guys just stop begging if they ever release a red dead game pc good for them if they dont well their loss…and besides i know many pc gamers also own a console so get it on it if you cant wait(my brother owned a ps3 when i had my pc so i borrowed his ps3 for red dead and mgs4 because i was a crazy mgs fan since the first one)
but don’t beg im myself have a huge list of games i did not even start yet anyway because of my crazy busy life(lol first world problems)
so its not like im missing out on anything i realised to play all the games i own i need at least a 6 month vacation XDDD
Thats like saying dont ask for R to join the present and develop pc versions like every other competent developer.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4c2e344bb910a9fcd15a04a67ae26c1e376f51d84cc0fd88c839eaa7172a0c3b.gif
It seems you 10k gaming library isnt enough, if you want to play it, get a PS4. (not a console drone here, just thinking that there is nothing to be sad about)
RDR could probably be properly emulated in 2 o 3 years. They already got the game to load in Xenia.
Nah, I’ll wait.
Ahh, it sucks. What’s even worse, if they were going to release it on PC, it still wouldn’t make players able to play Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption.
They want you to buy the game twice. Don’t do it, just wait.
Ofc same strategy as with GTA V…they sell same game like three times XD
No, it’s definitely coming, there’s just too much money involved for it not to, the only question is really “when”, not “if.”
RDR was too long ago at this point, plus, new console generation, of course.
Basic rule of thumb to keep in mind for things like this; now that there’s a new console generation out, anything that hasn’t been moved to the new-gen consoles isn’t about to move to PC either. The Metal Gear Collection is still stranded on the PS3, for example, so until it reaches the PS4, there’s literally ZERO chances of it ever reaching the PC, & so on & so forth.
If they ever make a remaster of RDR, I expect that to reach us (even if not at the same time as the console version, granted), just like I expect this to reach us eventually.
Optimistic? Huh. Funny, I don’t generally get called that O.o
Especially considering how I was the one nay-saying a PC-console side-by-side RDR launch yesterday 😛
Other than that, eh, I just follow the money, really. There’s too much money in not doing a PC-console side-by-side release, just as there’s too much money to lose by not doing a PC port at all these days.
After all, to quote someone from yesterday’s RDR teaser article; “it’s not 2010 anymore.”
“You are too optimistic, something that i’m clearly not.”
Honestly man reading your posts lately id say you should stay away from heights.
RDR Rockstar San Diego they also made midnight club they never made any pc games.
Gta series= rockstar north
bully, max payne 3 =Rockstar Vancouver
manhunt =rockstar north
manhunt 2= rockstar london
bully pc version= rockstar new england
gta iv pc= rockstar torronto, now one with vancouver.
gta v pc= rockstar torronto
RDR used the earliest version of rage, it was garbage
GTA IV the second version
gta v the third
max payne 3 the fourth, beating gta v
gta remaster the latest one.
RDR had a non pc dev, a non pc engine and a messy development cycle.
It would take more time to remaster it for pc than gta v, but i argue they should, they decided to go with rdr 2 instead.
“RDR used the earliest version of rage, it was garbage
GTA IV the second version
gta v the third
max payne 3 the fourth, beating gta v”
You sure? GTA IV was 2008, RDR was 2010.
Likewise, Max Payne 3 came out before GTA V, technically……
yes and max payne 3 came out before gta v but it used a better, later version of the engine i read that one in a interview with a rockstar dev, he was high up, i dont remember his name. RDR studio MADE the rage engine.
Oh, interesting, cheers ^^
sorry i meant max payne 3 used a later version of the engine than gta v.
But they can do what Capcom and WB do and pay QLOC to do the pc version of the game or Nixxes or another pc developer who knows how to do pc versions. Most recent example is MKXL that we got pc version thanks to QLOC.
why would they? they got a ton or rockstar studios they gotta give em something to do.
Why? For the same reason that WB and capcom are doing it. Dosent they have enough studios to give them the pc versions development? They have but they choosed those developers instead because they know that pc developers in poland russia sweeden e.t. are much more experienced than them. Rockstart must do the same
I’m not so sure. Today is nearly 65-70m game console sold. Next month Sony start to sell PS4 Pro and in 2017 MS will sold Xbox Scorpio. At the end of 2017 there will be at least 100m game consoles sold. With zero piracy. They don’t need PC to earn a lot of money.
There will be a lot more “working” game consoles in 2017 than was in 2014 when they release GTA5
>zero piracy
I have sailed the seven sites and not even the drunkest of wenches could pull that out of yarr arsehole.
Consoles have piracy as well, we just don’t talk about it because Microsoft & Sony don’t like us to mention it.
Besides, even with the “mini-new-gen” consoles, as long as PC still brings in ~1/3rd of the total sales, & even more in actual income, that’s still 30%+ of the profits pie being wasted as long as there’s no PC port on the market.
Rockstar is greedy as f*ck, they can’t pass that over for very long.
why most likely? Do they not like money? Do they not have the tools for the easiest porting so far?
You said the truth man ? but nobody’s listening, and Rockstar knows that. *sigh*
I personally don’t like red dead at all. But that could either be my bias agaisnt western stories or the clunky controls and was willing to give it another chance if the series came to pc. BUT if it’s not coming to pc the same as the console versions (ultimately showing no respect to the pc platform and its customers)Then frankly f***k them and if it comes to pc at a later date I wouldn’t blame the people who would pirate it.
you mean the platform that complains incessantly about the smallest bit of performance loss, or review bombs games on steam for petty reasons. yeah what a great audience to try and cater too.
Yeah, because on the other hand, they don’t make more off each PC sale than they do each console sale, right?
Yeah, what a tragedy, bad games getting shat on because of false advertisement, downgrading, or whatever the hell else.
Even bigger tragedy; refusing to be forced to upgrade to an intrusive, anti-consumer OS “because Microsoft wants you to.”
pc gamers a whiners. all you ever see on the pcgaming subreddit or pcmasterrace is complaining posts. its all they ever do. its a annoying community. if i was rockstar why would i care about them.
Oh, I don’t know……
money? >.>
All you see in a console thread is how great their corporate overlords are for making them pay for mp and how stupid the opposition console corporation is.
Console gamers are not responsible consumers, they would buy turds if they were painted purple and had “exclusive dlc” on em.
When did I say to cater to a specific audience.if anything it would benefit both the company and consumers if they released the game at the same time on both machines.That and while I somewhat agree with you on thre steam review thing it’s the people’s choice if the game is negatively affects Their experience on their machine if they have a decent rig (let’s say i5 6600 and 480) and they are having bad performance on even low settings because of the bad port quality of the game they have the right to complain in my opinion.
Who cares pc is making more money than all consoles combined and what devs care is people buying their games for ever review bashing a game for performance there are hundreds of thousands of sales on steam.
Rockstar didn’t release a single game simultaneously for PC last generation, and it looks like they want to continue that trend. That said, I have no doubt they’ll port it eventually with how big the platform is. Probably a combination of perceived piracy concerns and trying to get people to buy it twice (which a lot do).
The reason the original never got ported came down to the hugely troubled development and the fact that PC was relatively small back in 2010.
All I did was guess that we’ll get a late PC port based on historical precedent, where are these excuses you’ve imagined?
The first game was made by another rockstar studio not the one that does gta and it was the first use of the rage engine not gta iv, the engine was garbage back then.
No and no the pc version of gta v is amazing, i rather wait for the best product. R should step up their game and make the pc version faster.
Aaaand I was right. Surprise!
Well Amiga & I both, I’m betting. To quote Botty;
2017; Red Dead Redemption 2 Standard Edition on PlayStation 4 & Xbox One
2018; Red Dead Redemption 2 Definitive Edition on PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox Scorpio, & PC
Cue ~2 years of “we’re not actively working on a PC version at this time” now…….
F*ck, I seriously hate being right so much at times like these >.<
Or they might release it 1 year after instead of two.
Depends on if they do the Pro & Scorpio versions at the same time as the PS4 & Xblow One versions. If not, then 2 years, if yes, then maybe 1.5 from now, but that’s a hard minimum, for sure.
Either way, nothing less than 6 months after the Pro/Scorpio version comes out is an absolute safe bet, IMO.
sadly obviously it’s not surprising that at least for now there is no PC version. as i said, they can get away with anything way easier than others specially when some people are ok with it all even now.
plus there is even the chance of not getting PC version at all (i doubt they completely ignore PC though but again, they can do whatever they want without much to worry about, for now anyway)
We knew that it will initially be announced only for consoles, nothing new here. The question is how long it will take for a pc version.
This, basically.
It’s not a bad thing to hate being right, it’s just that the gaming industry has become far more easier to read than the days when we were just kids playing on consoles.
Besides, it’s not like the gaming industry tries very hard to hide the fact that they refuse to adapt to consumer demands, and instead would rather drain as much money as possible for little effort, most pubs and AAA devs these days employ such a plan, especially with lip service, the kind R* gave PC gamers when the PC version came close to release and the same that’s happening with Respawn and Titanfall 2’s PC version.
See most of them know what they are doing is both stupid and wrong, but they refuse to adapt because it requires effort, working very hard and making sure you don’t screw up (which seems to be very, very easy these days).
Ok guys, everybody repeat after me:

THAT’S MY CAR!
GODDAMM YOUTHS!
HEY WE GOT A COP RIGHT HERE!!!
Or is it a ambulance?
Like i said i did not even like the first game, console fanboys are raging this is an “exclusive” i dont even intend of playing it, i just want a pc version so they i can shut them up.
I’m sorry but why be that petty?
Just play what you like, f* fanboys. I don’t need anyone justifying what I like or not. Hell even advocating for PC gaming for all eternity I will disagree with the majority of PC gamers.
i am not the one who is being pety
PC DOES NOT HAVE RDR, HAHAHAHH SUCK IT….i dont even care about the game, but apparently it is an argument.
Why care about this? That’s what I’m asking.
Tell him to f*ck off or better ignore and move on with life.
But nooooooo, supposedly it is “fun” to keep poking at that type of stupidity. How is that any different from what they are doing?
F’ You rockstar!!!
i am sure they will be release it on pc but it might take too long like GTA V did.
am used to that..
Not a big deal.
Why is everybody pissed ?. The amount of money Rockstar made on PC, it would be very surprising to not see the title come out on that platform. Plus Rockstar/Activison are companies, they’re here for profit. They’re not making ports just to please
Fans… They know the money is there and they’ll do it. I prefer to have the game a year after and have a proper one than a halfbaked arkham knight ” a la ” rockstar.
Yeah, but it shouldn’t take you a year to make a decent port, unless you’re completely incompetent.
Even then, it’s not about “how long” it takes, it’s about what things are going to be like until the port arrives.
We’re about to go through some ~2 years of “we’re not actively working on a PC port”, even though we all know they are, in order to boost their console profits to the max before they introduce the PC version for another round of ripoff sales.
Honestly that business tactic should be outright illegal.
I’ve noticed over the past decade that the movie industry and music, have dabbled in some scummy practices, that more often than not get them caught out and written off as being illegal, but for some reason within the gaming industry, everything is somehow completely legal and fair game to screw your consumers over.
I don’t think it’s about being competent or not. It’s a company. They’re going to milk consoles before pcs because they know some console users will buy it again for pc. It’s all about money. Call it ripoff or not, that’s how it is. I bet all the people being angry at Rockstar will end up buying the game because it will be fun and Rockstar will advertise it like champ as usual.
Most of them, probably, yeah, but the gullible “not voting with your wallet” masses are a separate argument, to be fair.
The point here is, while doing something so scummy & shady isn’t legally wrong, sure, morally, it’s some really disgraceful sh*t, & it sets dangerous precedents.
What if in a couple of years, EA decides to adopt the same practice? Or Activision? Or Bethesda? How long do you think it’ll be before it becomes industry standard?
Remember the Bethesda Horse Skins DLC? Then came micro-transactions, & they re-introduced DLC’s as Map Packs, &, of course, skins….. >.>
First came the Season Passes, then came the Season Passes that don’t even include all the post-launch content. Then came the TWO Season Passes games.
Etc. etc. etc.
Yes you are quite right!
/care we don’t need another popular junk game, we already have enough, especially multiplatform portings
thats what you all get for supporting rockstar on pc. a knife in the back. just like they have done before.
Oh FFS!! Here we go again……..
LOL i can only say….LOOOL!
Lol about what we knew that, the question is how soon will they announce the pc version.
probably the best part about this is the reaction some peasants have. rather than caring about the game’s existence, they are more focused on the fact that there is no PC version. some of them probably even pretend that they are PC gamers and still find it “amusing”. lol. classic.
When you have a crapbox you gotta make it worth something, by holding games hostages…….bully got a pc version, dead rising got a pc version, dragons dogma got a pc version edf got a pc version, just wait the greatness of pc cannot be ignored.
Yea, exclusives are one of the most effective marketing ploys to trick peasants into buying a cheap, low-mid-performance plastic box with extremely limited functions compared to pc.
Who in their right minds would buy it if they weren’t tricked by $¤?¥ and Macrohard?
Right, people?
Gotta milk the fanbase, just like they did with sheit of GTAV. lol
i did not knew that even existed you really got no life the fact you knew about this petition before gaming media announced them just prove you are a closet pc gamer
At least he came out of his troll closet yesterday by openly admitting that’s the reason why he comes to these forums every day.
Now he can finally establish himself as a registered troll and maybe one day have a nice troll family.
f’k em.
I think I’m the only one who is indifferent when it comes to Rockstar Games. I’m just not a fan of open world sandbox games…
With that said, not putting this game on PC would be a dimwitted move from Rockstar since this is a loss in sales. Not only that, but seing how GTA V sold so well, even 2 years after its console release, should tell them there is a demand on PC. But nope, piss on the platform that put them on the gaming map in the first place. GG Rockstar.
Seriously though, despite how good GTA V on PC is (at least performance wise), Rockstar treating the PC crowd as second class is just insulting.
Honestly, considering how they’ve trademarked “Red Dead Redemption Online”, my hopes & expectations for this thing are dropping by the minute, regardless of when the PC version will be arriving.
Changed no, the consoles have changed which makes porting easier.
This makes no sense like WTF
say hows that petition for witcher 2 on ps3 and star citizen on consoles going?
Now how did the petition for dark souls and gta v on pc went?
Why do you keep taking the bait?
Why does everybody keep taking the bait?
why does john approves his post, why does he not ban the troll?
Not banning doesn’t mean approving of. There’s no reason to ban him, the guy is so obvious I’m surprised anyone even replies to him seriously.
You can still ban and remove people who are actively becoming a problem with any site. I’ve seen tons of mods and owners of sites do this, simply not doing anything about it means you allow for trouble makers to reside until sh*t really hits the fan, then that becomes entirely a mod problem, not ours, that they allowed any situation to simply spiral out of control.
We only delete comments that may offend other users (and do not contribute anything to a discussion). If you guys believe some comments offend you, report them. We’ve already said what we consider offending comments in our last Editorial
Can you not see how he’s gone well out of his way to annoy others and how he has no intention of being a part of the community, let alone getting along with it?.
He has admitted he is trolling.
Which is why I’m left wondering as to why the moderators don’t do anything. I shouldn’t have to file a report (that will likely be turned down for “not breaking the rules”) when you, me and others have seen him admit this and act it out at the same time.
“and do not contribute anything to a discussion”
Soooo if we ignore him you will ban him?
You may not always end up on the good side of the authority you give to others. He wouldn’t be a problem if people didn’t take the bait.
He makes you angry because he posts bait and he should be banned because he offended you, but what if you offend someone else? Some people get offended very easily and pretending to be offended may become an effective trolling vector, then you could find yourself on the other side simply for honestly opposing a viewpoint and the trolls will be demanding to have you banned.
Just don’t feed the trolls, it’s much easier that way.
Why do the mods allow a stain like him on the site?. Their off hands approach allows for people like him to actively come here and sh*t all over the community they try to write for.
Everybody need to CTFO……………..
Personally I didn’t care much for the game, and God knows i tried to get into it. I kept buying and selling it and every time I’d feel inspired by the love for game others had to try it again, and again I’d just end up feeling bored of it after a while. Tbh, I’ve never really got into GTA 5 either. Last Gta i liked was vice city. I find the stories and characters utterly moronic.
So, whilst I couldn’t care less if this ever comes to pc, the thought of petty minded console trolls gloating endlessly about this makes me want to vomit.
GTA V was/is trash, to be fair, so I can’t blame you, really 😛
no way gta v was fun, better than gta iv anyway and max payne 3.
vice city is the best.
Meh, GTA went downhill after San Andreas IMO, but if I really had to choose, GTA IV > GTA V.
I dont see how gta iv is better than gta v, the environments of gta iv are boring and samey the visuals are blurry and monotonous, the controls are awful and the missions are utterly repetitive.
A trash console port with settings that demand future hw rather than the current hw we have now to play it on full. I’ve been able to run all sorta of AAA games on my rig with a 980, yet GTA V runs like crap and yet even F4 runs better than V on my setup.
If most AAA games and indies run fine on my setup, but GTA V doesn’t, it’s not going to be my setup.
I enjoyed it for first 10 hours maybe, and then I just was bored of the game. I know the characters and stories are tongue in cheek and meant to be socio, political commentaries, but I just find it stupid and boring after a while, and frankly listening to the characters just puts me off playing, as I don’t care about them and can’t invest in them enough to want to continue the game.
This isn’t helped by the gameplay itself being the same old fetch and return style missions. Drive from A to B, kill Mr X or collect object. Return to point A and continue to repeat ad infinitum…..zzzzz
Seriously they still doing this stunt with us.Well I just have one word for you fu** you rockstar.I long boycotted buying there games.Still haven’t played GTA V and won’t ever gonna buy it.Lots of good games on PC and CS GO the best multiplayer fps shooter on PC.So yeah F*** you rockstar.
If RDR2 ends up being good i’ll buy it on console. Sure i prefer PC but i also own a PS4 and XB1. So whatever.
In 2017 there will be 4 consoles to choose from:
2013 Xbox One (1.3 teraflops)
2013 PlayStation 4 (1.8 teraflops)
2016 PlayStation 4 Pro (4.2 teraflops)
2017 Xbox “Project Scorpio” (6.0 teraflops)
Why release a 6.0 teraflop console when the games are all still going to have the spunkgargalweewee look of its predecessor?
I own a PS4 and Xb1 im not wasting my money on mid gen upgrades when i only buy console games a couple times a year.
Please dont make stupid petitions just for this, the game will come someday, if dont, just play another stuff. The worst you can do is buying the game on consoles expecting that will push a PC release.
so true
Lets make some maths before kids like Doriando come to tell us Rockstar isnt making money of PC market.
5.7 millions of copies sold on Steam of GTA V.
Lowest price on the store 29.99
5.700.000 x 29.99=170.000.00 millions of dollars.
And we know at least half of those have bought the game at higher price.
Maybe for some least intelligent folks outthere 200 millions of dollars are irrelevant but for gaming companies money is money.
Not to mention GTAV is pretty much always topping the Steam sales charts despite not even being a Steam exclusive.
More importantly the profit margin difference is insane when it comes to comparing the costs of porting of an existing title with creating one from scratch, which goes double for Rockstar (GTAV was $265m, RDR1 was $100m).
Unless they have a serious aversion to money, they’ll jump (again) at the chance to make comparable profit for a fraction of the investment.
You sound like you’re trying to say it is never going to come. All the reasons you listed above are 100% true, and RDR2 will come to PC. We just don’t know when.
and people ask me why i didnt buy gta5..
Its GTA V all over again, They will delay PC almost a year of launch…
that is a video i dont agree with, most of that is subjective of unpractical.
For every so called downgrade there is a much better more meaningful improvement, i litteraly could not care about half the things in the video.
I mean crap, you telling me with a straight face that i am supposed to care more about the damage modeling than actually driveable vehicles? You telling me i should care more about some water physics caused by a helicopter when the game does not have jets with rocketlaunchers, by the way the water is not good looking anyway, or care about hit reactions and enemies getting back up when the weapons are weak as sht and the horrible animations during gunfights not to mention the horrible cover system make the combat feel underwhelming?
All games have certain things that are not as well designed as the previous game, but it is the overall package that sucks, get your priorities straight.
By that logic, the same applies to san andreas, the graphics were blurrier and the lighting was inferior the aiming and shooting controls and the sound was awful, id argue vice city was a better built game but san andreas a bigger one, with gta iv, i felt they gone backwards the game was “next gen” but had less features than the previous one, id argue with gta v they got the right balance.
Yeah, fair enough, it was intended as half a joke anyway.
Regardless, overall I simply enjoyed playing GTA IV far more than GTA V, even without bringing up Mods etc.
yeah but did you play witcher 1 and 2 in order to import your saves to witcher 3?
nope
please put it on pc so we can buy it from g2a for $35 and you dont see any money…..wonder why its not coming to pc?no money in it for them.
Rockstar up to their usual shenanigans trying to get people to double dip. I won’t be buying until I can get it pre-owned on console.
“We don’t have the resources to work on a PC port at the same time as the console versions”?
;D
If it’s going to have 72 hours limited offline play DRM like GTAV i will pass.
So why is this supposedly pc gaming centric site covered console franchise while neglecting many pc centric franchises?
Man I do think it be cool if multiplayer would be similar too GTAV and not like the old RD. One open sandbox environment. Clans purchasing Forts and maybe towns? Only the future will tell what its gonna be like. I can’t wait!
