i read the reviews and watched all the gameplay videos of red dead and i am betting it will play and look better on the pc not to mention the sales boost that rockstar would get!!! so whats the reason its not been released for pc? i cant afford a new console so dont suggest that!!! also LA NOIRE also not listed as for a pc release whats going on with rockstar?????

LA noire is not on PC? Damn. That's bad. Not sure what's up with RockStar. Next thing you know, they are going to release Max Payne on console only! Well, not really, but this is nuts. They should put out red dead redemption on the pc.

If they ever do, I sure hope they do a better job at porting it over then they did with GTA IV.

At this point, I'd rather see LA Noire PC than Red Dead Redemption.

Because they are primarily console developers? Besides Rockstar does half-assed ports anyway. If you want to play RDR then get a console.

Everyone should buy a ps3 just for these moments. RDR needs to be played, and LA Noire looks to be the same

Multiplats almost always perform better on the 360, and RDR was no different.

If someone was planning on buying a console just for multiplatform games that weren't available on PC, they would be wise to go with the 360.

i prefer the ps3 b/c it serves as a great blu-ray player and the online is free. but either one would be great to buy

I think the backlash from GTA4 scared them off.

Yeah, their fault if they poorly optimize the games. Episodes from Liberty City is better optimized though.

6_Dead_360s

That rumour was started on the 1st April 2011, anyone think why 1st April is "special" ? Yep it was an April fool's joke. As to why there is no RDR or LA Noire on the PC well Rockstar is primarily a console developer that doesn't have the skills or abilities to produce a competent PC product. The RDR series has never graced the PC (Red Dead Revolver was never on the PC) and the developer that made RDR is not known for bringing their games to the PC.

In short if you wish to play RDR or any of Rockstar's titles then you will have to do so on a console.

Because R* doesnt want piracy to cannibalize RDR sales. If a person has a PC and is afraid to modchip the 360 (warranty void + RROD) he will buy the game for the 360. If its on PC hell just download it for the PC.

If the ports were going to be anything like GTA 4, it's a good thing it hasn't been released for PC.

L.A. Noire will be come to PC in Q3 2011, as for the red dead redemption will never come. Except if the Windows 8 contain an XBox 360 emulator, but again there is not really a point because will play with the crappy xbox graphics and 30 fps.

You're joking right? L.A. Noire was announced for PC quite a while ago.
