This upcoming port can also be skipping PC completely, the place Rockstar has nonetheless not formally launched Red Dead Redemption.
The Red Dead Redemption “remaster” is the largest disappointment of the yr. A direct port of a 13 yr outdated sport with zero adjustments for $50.
Such an ideal sport to be mistreated so harshly. Also no PC launch???
