    Nothing on Gamespot about PC version.

    I think Rockstar is focusing on Console Gaming anyhow :p

    Time to buy a PS3?

    If they don't release that game on the PC, I won't be buying it period. A console will limit the sheer potential of that game far too much and no matter how good it may be on the console, you just know it can be better. Rockstar will be missing out on a lot of sales if they don't release to the PC.

    It will probably be released later on just like GTA IV which was released later for PC. However I am buying the game for either my PS3 or Xbox 360 Elite. I am glad I am equipped with these two consoles :)

    Oh man, I hope so. I remember the first one "Red Dead Revolver", and it was so much fun. Never thought they would of came out with a second one.

    Definitely looking forward to this one.

    Right now I'd say it's a 50/50 chance. With GTA we know there will be a PC release since Rockstar stated years ago that GTA would always be on the PC. It just seems like after the second game, the PC version has been the last one released, but it's always the superior version.

    As for Red Dead; since Revolver wasn't on the PC that might hurt it's chances some. But, at the same time Redemption is running on RAGE and we already know the PC can run it so I don't see why they wouldn't release it on the PC. It could be the perceived lack of demand for the PC market, but it's mainly GTA in a wild west setting so I don't see that being a problem.

    I'm going to get it on the PS3 (going to split it with a friend, otherwise I'd wait) but if a PC release happens, I'll throw my bet in the 6-9 months later category like GTA IV.
