Should I wait for Red Dead Redemption to come out on PC or buy a 360?

I usually wouldn't think twice about waiting for a game to come out on pc, but i'm not sure. How long did it take for GTA IV to get released on PC?

Buy it for the 360. It's the best version out of the two. I'm not sure that it's coming to PC.

Rockstar said that no PC version is planned for now.

Lol buy a 360 just for this game? it doesnt even look that fun

please do go buy yourself a 360, and so we can have one less person making console exclusive request/wishing threads on this freaking PC gaming board...

Since R* said that no PC version is planned, you're better off getting a 360. But you should find more reason for getting a 360 aside from just RDR.mo0ksi

It's a great game, there's no denying that. I have it for 360 and I love it. But yeah, you should find some other games you want too before making the purchase. Some gems I reccommend are Ace Combat 6, Halo Wars, Nhl 10, Earth Defense Force 2017, Battlefield 1943. Make sure to get some of the awesome multiplayer powerhouses too, like Borderlands, MW2, Halo 3/ODST. Multiplayer on the 360 is awesome.

It was discussed in a podcast with the developers of RDR they clearly say :-

"no plans to bring the game to the PC, but if that should change they will let us know"

You need to forward it to 28:25 at that point you will clearly hear the developers stating there are "no plans to bring the game to the PC, but if that should change they will let us know". As far as I am aware this is different to GTA 4 I don't recall them ever stating GTA 4 was not planned for the PC. Whenever they were asked about GTA 4 on the PC they would reply with "we cannot comment on unannounced titles"

yeah, they said the same thing about the PC version of GTA IV yet the PC version began development shortly after the console versions began. Red Dead Redemption for PC will very likely release in late 2010, early 2011.Einhanderkiller

No they didn't they never ever said there are no plans for a PC version of GTA 4. Whenever people asked them about a PC version they always replied with "we cannot comment on unannounced titles".

Are you serious? For only this game? I think you should think it through before making a decision like that. What other games would you consider getting on it? I have an Xbox 360, but I seriously don't buy anything for it anymore so I'm not buying Red Dead Redemption for the Xbox 360. PC or bust for this game, for me anyways.

Get a 360, they're dirst cheap (Some would say for good reason) Plus, you can always buy some of the older exclusives/console excluisves for it.

get a ps3, atleast its also a blu-ray player, has wifi, doesnt charge to play online and doesnt break down every two seconds. I bought a ps3, and definitely get alot out of it even when I dont play games on it for months at a time.

Better graphics and better framerate on the 360 version, you'll find this with most multiplat release games.

Anyway RDR is probably the best game to come out this year so far, so if you were on the fence about getting a console for these types of releases then this should definitely tilt you over.

get a ps3 instead i reckon. anyway, i doubt it will come to pc, red dead revolver never did. either way it will be a long wait. there are a lot of good console exclusives anyway.

Yeah easily, I own both but always purchase on the 360 if it's a multiplat. Plus open world games usually run better on the 360 due to not having RAM limitations like the PS3.

It seems like you've just seen the PS3 game and assumed it looks the best... as most sole PS3 owners do.

I don't think the game is worth buying a console for... I bought it when it came out, but I really haven't played it since.

This game is fantastic for 35 hours or so, which is all you can really ask for. But to your question, not having a PC AND Console (360 is what I have) is really cutting yourself off from the majority of the new games. It is a new world, time to adapt, player!

I personally don't think RDR is coming out on PC any time soon.

Well since the first game 'Red Dead Revolver' didn't come to PC i doubt this one will.

Rockstar has released alot of the triple A titles on pc eventually so if you're thinking about buying a console just for a game i'd say wait a while to see if theres any news of a pc version.

I usually wouldn't think twice about waiting for a game to come out on pc, but i'm not sure. How long did it take for GTA IV to get released on PC?

RDR is an amazing game. Get the 360 along with Halo 3, GeoW 2, SC:C, AC II, Forza 3, Alan Wake, ME 2, or a huge list of great older games. Also look forward to Halo: Reach, GeoW 3, ME 3, and sports games lol

To be honest, it is not good enough to buy a 360 for, altho there are many other games worth buying one for. The pc version of RDR if there is one, will be worth waiting for. I have the ps3 version and am actually bored of the game right now and dont know if I will finish it, but if a pc version came put I would buy it, I personally think this would be a better game with out hardware limitations.

If you already have a good PC that can run everything pretty well, then you should maybe also think about PS3. A lot of the games released for 360 are also on PC, and if they aren't on PC, they are usually both on 360 and PS3. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I'm quite sure that a combo of PS3+PC gives you a larger library of games to choose from than a combo of 360+PC.

However I wouldn't buy a console just for one exclusive game. But if you are interrested in several games that you can just get for a console, then it's a different story, or if you just prefer to play games on consoles instead of PC, I guess that's a good enough reason too.

Well i love my 360 for ubisoft games I know i just would not want to play on my pc. But yeah certain games from bioware and valve need to be played on pc, but the 360 does offer a great variety and some good exclusives. Its also nice not having to worry about compatability issues for older games you can pick up for cheap. Its also hands down a great for gaming with friends where everyone should have a mic and getting together with friends is easy.
