    It seems likely that there will be a PC version, but I'm not sure that this is a very credible source.

    My PS3 is currently busted and I never got around to getting RDR, so this is good news for me if true. 
     
    Wasn't the PC of GTAIV totally botched though?

    This. 
     
    Would love it if it was the case though. Would definitely be up for going through the game again at a higher res to take in all that astoundingly beautiful scenery (assuming the port runs better than GTAIV did...).

    I just hope they take more than an hour to port it over.

    This is the only way R* can get more of my money until they release another good Midnight Club.

    For the first three patches performance-botched, for later patches issue-botched, currently still not doing very well and no further patches seem to be in the pipeline. I can get it running sort of stable but not acceptable on my machine as it is today. It requires a quad-core, then a hefty graphics card with a lot of speedy memory, etc. To get an enjoyable framerate for driving and shooting I need to play at 720p and cut all details down to an absolute minimum.

    PC version of GTAIV is a very demanding game, however in turn the visuals are also far above the console version's.  
     
    It's more demanding than Black Ops but less demanding than Crysis, so it's hardly unplayable, but you'll still need a beefy rig to run it.  
     
    What I'm interested in is seeing a PC version at all; even if it turns out unoptimized, hardware can always be upgraded and software can always be patched (either officially or through the community), so at least maxing out the game's image quality is a possibility if not now if not now then in the future.

    Rockstar ports have a rocky history. They're the only stain on my PC master race rantings normally.

    Well, looks like they removed it. 
     
     Real or not, if Red Dead actually manages to make it to the PC I would gladly buy it considering they optimize the engine (which I doubt will happen). If not, well I guess that's another great game the PC crowd will be missing.

    Rockstar ports are always shit. I won't be surprised when a PC version does actually come out, and it's runs at 5 fps on every computer ever.

    If there is a PC version and if it's not as buggy as the GTA4 PC v I'm definitely going to buy it to see what's hype all about...

    Have you only played IV on PC? Yeah it was shit, but pretty much every GTA game before that is way better on the PC. Don't be crazy.

    I get 60 fps locked at 1920x1080 with everything maxed and vsync on. So I think it was extremely well ported.

    Both RDR and Alan Wake will never be on PC and if by some magical force they do some how end up on PC they will be shitty ports that run worse the GTA4 on the PC did.

    Thanks for your definitive uneducated guesses, industry outsider/internet expert.

    German language, but Swiss site. It's also available in French and English. German is the most prevalent native language in Switzerland, followed by French.
