What exactly is it that makes it so difficult to port RDR to PC compared to say, GTA IV or V? nothing. every game is in fact developed on PC so it would have been effortless It is as effortless as porting any game on any hardware to another hardware. You cant just recompile the code, you must change the code thats specificely made for one specific hardware because that wont work on PC hardware. yes. doesn't change the fact games are developed on pc to begin with and therefore are effortless to port to (at the very least, a nier automata like port) the only explanation is that rockstar had some deal with sony to never release it for another console. either that or rockstar are beyond incompetent as software developers, which is also a possibility. its not like they need to port the game from ps3 to nds If they had ported it, they should have used the Xbox 360 code as base. Im not defending that it was "too hard", just saying that it requires more work than throwing the same code in a different compiler. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
