Why don't we have the first Red Dead Redemption on PC ?

[kolumuani12]

It looks like a very good game, do you know if it will be possible to play it on PC ?

[Ogami]

Because Rockstar so far decided not to publish a PC version, its that simple.

Iirc, Rockstar, the dev. Said it'd take too much work to move the engine and all the coding over to PC capabilities, so they didn't want to bother.

Oh ok, it's sad tho.

Rumours are there's a remaster in the works and it would come to PC, cross your fingers.

One could hope, it's a good game. However if it follows the trend, it's going to be Epic exclusive for a while, or if it follows the KH franchise...much longer. :/

I played it on PS3 and enjoyed the ride but seriously? I wouldn't buy this on PC even if I could, it was fun but also very limited and kinda cliched. If not plain out frustrating: one moment you can defeat a whole gang of crooks, but as soon as the game doesn't want you to it's: screw you! GTAO players should have seen this one coming!.

Considering that I know the game will lead up to that crap moment... Nope, I'll pass. And I think many think the same way, meaning R* would be loosing money on this.

RDR has a bit of a cult following, the sales from the fans would likely more than make up for it. But yeah, that ending, oof.

I hear RDR 1 was a bit of a mess of spaghetti code and would represent a nightmare undertaking to attempt to port it.

I've heard these rumors too... (Rant about Epic removed because it's not relevant.)

In other words, too much time and money. It is just not because it will take "too much work." Of course it is going to take a lot of work to port such a game, that was a lazy response.

*rant about Epic*

You don't need to derail the thread, this isn't about epic games and exclusives.

You're right, you're right. I see "Epic" and get a bit triggered.

Rockstar's pretty good about getting their games on Steam, I was more just expressing concern on how PS handles their "exclusives". So if a RDR remaster does come along, 10 to 1 we'll see it on Steam eventually.

Me personally will not buy Red Dead Redemption 2 untill the full trilogy is available on PC.

Then you'll be waiting forever. RDR1's code was spaghetti and Rockstar were lucky enough to even get it running stable and well on the consoles at the time. If you really wanna play RDR1 on PC, there are currently emulators that do a good job. And it's only a duology. Unless you're counting Red Dead Revolver but that one isn't related to Redemption.

The fact rockstars RAGE engine still functions probably makes it one of the 7 wonders of the modern world.
