Frankly they're only going to earn more if they do this. I know plenty of people who are MUCH more inclined to buy on PC than console. Myself included.

Guess the AAA studios will finally be catching up to Indie Developers in terms of platform agility.

I will show my support to studios who at least put effort into making sure there is at least a windows version of their games.

Rockstar always said they wouldn't bring Red Dead Redemption to PC. But if this proves true, let me just say: I'LL BUY IT ROCKSTAR! I'LL FUCKING BUY IT!

...Oh.

Rockstar is still a thing?

After the mediocre Grand Theft Horse 4 and the unqualified disaster area joke on wheels that was GTA 4 and boring samey spinoffs I just stopped caring. None of them managed to get close to what GTAVC or GTASA brought to the table, and after 1 or 2 flops you'd think they would figure it out.

If they continue on their current trend, GTA5 is going to be about as good as Metroid Other M. Pretty, paper-thin and entirely soulless.

I have never minded waiting a few months for a PC release of any of the GTA games, I'll happily wait a few months again if that means it will exist!
Do you remember how long it took Vice City to make the jump? I swear it was at least 18 months.
Yes but at that point I was in high school and had different things to worry about. :p

If its gonna be a shitty port i do not care.
I will certainly not buy full price, got burned far too often.

Would be happy if they would do it well but... well, i just feel like im too old to be that naive.

Max Payne 3 worked pretty well on my PC, should one expect GTA V to me more similar to it rather than GTA IV in terms of peformance?. I really do hope we'll get GTA V for PC, it is the only gaming device I own and I'll be sad if I don't get to play it X3.

Wait what?

It may not be your cup of tea but GTA IV sold insanely well, hardly a flop.

I'd kind of like to see a PC release and kind of not mainly because the PC side of gamers are either ungrateful for the port or incredibly smug in seeing their version as the "best and only greatest version ever" so I'd most likely hope it just stays on the two consoles seeing as how the PC will be getting planetary annihilation and Star Citizen both of which are only PC to which consoles will never get to see the light of day so fairs fair.
Please don't use prejudice as an argument ever again. It never leads to something good.
Besides, you don't want us to get a good game, because we will get two good games, were one will be most likely too hardware demanding to be played on consoles properly and the other one is a old school rts, which never play good on consoles anyway. I hate you.
Yet what you offered to the table has done nothing either even with the very last line.

Captcha: How interesting, not very much I'd say.

fyi outward and direct personal hate isn't really tolerated here so I'd be wary if I were you.

Also, fuck off with your "hurf durf ungrateful" crap.
Oh my yes this is exactly what we need on the Escapist, two people already quoting me and spouting direct insults without paying actual attention to the TOS of this forum, how clever indeed.

I also forgot this is the Escapist where anything negative no matter how tiny that is said about PC is just plain untrue/sarcasm.

Not sure I care too much about Red Dead Redemption anymore... I mean, the game would probably be sold at full price and is unlikely to have been improved upon all that much.

The game is already three years old and so is my interest in it. There are so many other games being released, and if they did release RDR for the PC, then I will judge the game as I would any other new game.

Let's imagine that RDR gets released at the same time Fallout 4 or a new TES game is released, how could is possibly hope to measure up to those?

Red dead redemption sounds interesting. But pre-orders are out of the question before it has been properly tested by serious reviewers. Terrible ports are not that wonderful.

They kind of missed the train by a few years. We've had better open-world games and the games market has significantly improved compared to 2010. Kinda think they will be losing cash on this one, but they can always blame it on piracy and further justify not making PC ports.

Be nice of them to finally start giving a damn about the platform that gave them their start and launched their flagship series.

Oh look another person who thinks he's the bees knees
Mate I really couldn't give a rats ass if you told me to fuck off to my face but it is an insult but by all means if you think it isn't go right ahead to all them religious places and tell them to "fuck off", tell the pres to fuck off and let's see where that lands ye.

And I do believe I am in the real world and I can't see the console version being any bit inferior considering there's still no PC version and even then console users will still be happy playing the game on their console without running into a complete douche who has to tell them the version the are playing is "WRONG AND INFERIOR".

Christ next thing you know you'll be telling me the NIL is "inferior" to bloody Dyson.

I'd love to say this is going nowhere but hey you managed to spin it around to work for you by acting insulted even though you're much older than me.

That's ultimately cool and more power to you but consoles have had just as much shit as PC's have and everything doesn't magically become 100% fine tuned and working or gaming as a whole would be picture perfect.

I see two things going for when it comes out on PC (if it does at all):

Discussions will go about which version is "the best", further heated discussion into bashing people with the "inferior" version while trying to get them to see their side and join "the best".

Complete and utter vitriol for the PC port which get's no one in a forum nowhere but utter bitching at other people (telling R* politely will probably work but lol it's the internet politeness is more or less 30-40%).

I built a recent rig and I'm not fussed one way or the other if it does or doesn't come out for PC and I don't even have any of the other consoles at the moment but I'll sure as hell buy either a PS3 slim or 360 Slim and get myself a backlog including GTA V and I'm nowhere near rich at all because I know how to save.
