Red Dead Redemption 2 will hit PC on November 5 via Rockstar Game Launcher and earlier today, the publisher and developer shared details about pre-purchase and the specifications. You can get the first PC screens after the jump.
Grabbed these on Rockstar's blog. The game looks insanely gorgeous. The system requirements are far lower than I was imagining to be honest, I've put them below for ease-of-access:
Looks even more impressive than on consoles obviously. The lighting in the first shot is fantastic.
Also, straightforward to see where things can be improved further next gen. Increases in geometry is one.

Maybe it is obviously to people who didn't play X1X version but I cannot see a difference.

yeah i was also going to point this out too. it looks very much like the XB1X.
apart from the uncapped frame rate and resolution. still, it'll still be amazing to see the PC version go even further in those areas. 60fps is always a nice treat.

I love how everyone talks about 60fps on PC. 60fps in 1080p maybe. The game runs at native 4K on X1X. You gotta have 1200$ videocard to get stable 60fps at native 4K on PC. Meanwhile majority of PC gamers have 1060 at best.

you guys are comparing the typical bullshots all devs launch (see any AAA developers) against other bullshots? wait for the live gameplay and then compare, if they have a big list of improvements, then expect it to look quite better in a marginal difference, just not in the typical remaster/pc port of an old game.

45-60 fps is actually my typical gaming setup. 45fps is the new 30fps. for me anyways.
it's the perfect balance, not too fast but just right for that cinematic feel. never going back.

That might be the case. they do make good on the features for PC.
only one way to know for sure.

Rockstar will release "a new official 4K 60FPS trailer" soon, as stated in the Rockstar blog I posted. If they send Gamersyde a high quality version, it will be possible to see how well the PC version will look from it.

Right. I think programmable shaders were adopted fairly early on consoles (xbox360/ps3) (3 Days ago)

@toelessfoot: Well, only recently they have been. I think this is the first gen I've seen where PC's are playing catch up. Not through hardware power, but through development cycles (3 Days ago)
toelessfoot
Yeah I think innovations on the console side are taken up more quickly by PC than vice versa because consoles are really lead platform for everything (3 Days ago)
MrWhite
At least for most gamers. Similar to when everything went to pci-e (4 Days ago)

I think we could be seeing a dramatic shift in PC hardware where it'll be essential to own both an SSD and a next gen card with the api's to use them. That also would probably require new motherboards (4 Days ago)
MrWhite
If a game is built from the ground up to take advantage of that, though... (4 Days ago)
