A PC version of the original Red Dead Redemption may be on the way, judging by an update to the PlayStation Store page for the PlayStation 4 version of the game.
For real? Kinda yes, multiplayer in a release is a very bad sign that they will either focus on the “more profitable” multiplayer to the detriment of the single player or they will actually hobble the single player deliberately to encourage the multiplayer.
The port never had multi-player. The original game did. I would not call that removing the feature. I am glad I don’t have to wait for them to build it. I am really glad to be able to play the original. I have not had an Xbox 360 for some time now much less access to the disk I borrowed from my ex-brother in law.
Well that’s just not true. You don’t just rename it to .exe and it will work on PC. The already made multiplayer will look for non-existent hardware, using obsolete and insecure methods to secure to a service that no longer exists on a completely different operating system. They would not only need to completely rewrite the client side net code from scratch, they’d have to write their server side code from scratch too, on top of paying a massive monthly fee to AWS or whatever to host it. Adding multiplayer won’t convince enough additional people to buy it to offset these costs; almost everyone is buying this game for the single player. Adding multiplayer means less profit and more delays.
It says no multiplayer. Thats actually really sad because i LOVED the multiplayer back on the xbox 360. 😔
For me that’s great news. I play video games to relax and I find nothing involving strangers relaxing.
You’re happy they’re removing something you could easily ignore but that would otherwise make other people happy?

You don’t have to play the multiplayer? The games already made it’s not like they would skimp the single-player to focus on the multi-player mode.
