    I remember posting about this a while back when the game was released on the consoles. I have been waiting ever since for the PC port of the game and I was wondering if anyone here has any news about the PC Port. Are they even working on it? :(

    I dont think Rockstar bother doing a port. D:
    Even L.A. Noire is consoles seems to be consoles only.
    But at least we can make fun of Xbox 360 req. 3 discs. :D
    (Lulz at PSOne days)

    It's not going to happen. I waited over a year, but I'm currently playing through the 360 version at 720p with 2005-era graphics.

    They said it wasn't going to happen with GTA IV either. I was really interested in Red Dead Redemption coming to the PC but now that horse has galloped.

    RDr is a fun game.. but yeah won't happen on PC which I'm unsure why. Rockstar was a PC dev first.. but I guess money talks. I just started playing through the undead nightmare and man that's some funny stuff.

    Maybe you can help me, then. I bought the game from Fry's and it said it included the undead nightmare DLC, but when I download it it asks for money or a Rockstar code, which as far as I can tell, my game did not come with.

    Well GTA is an established franchise and a PC version was planned for each game once the timed exclusivity with the PS2 expired. I'm sure GTA4 had a PC version planned from the get go as well. RDR I probably had no plans to make it to the PC, but I wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar either highly considered a PC version after all the hooplah about no PC version by everyone when it first came out or they are keeping tight lipped about a possible PC version in the works.

    So far Rockstar confirmed lately that there are no plans for either RDR and LA Noire (in a discussion about this latest title).

    Yep and that is why so many are supporting the Witcher 2 devs!

    If we get the message out there, we can change the future of the PC.

    Split up into four teams of 6 and infiltrate Valve HQ. Steal Gabe Newell's personal vending machine and hold it for ransom. Either they give us Episode 3 or the vending machine gets disintegrated by the Heavy Weapons Guy.
