Oh the sweet, sweet meltdowns.

Hold your horses! It's just exploring, not a confirmation. They even changed the thread title. :poutblob:

This is a great post from EatChildren that explains everything, and the thread should just stop there.
There is no evidence to suggest the PC and console ecosystems are cross compatible and it is this fallacious thinking that leads to confusion over why Sony or Microsoft or anyone would ever want to port to PC. People who are happy to pay literally thousands of dollars for high end gaming system are not now, or ever, abandoning this as their primary ecosystem for a $600 box that cant do a fraction of the functionality their PC can.

The evidence currently does not suggest there is market cannibalism between PC and console ecosystems. There will always be a small percentage of crossover but the bulk is evidently significantly greater. Console gamers are not interested in the significantly higher upfront costs of PC and the lesser accessibility. PC gamers are not interested in a cheaper, simpler, closed hardware ecosystem. They are also not buying wholesale into that ecosystem; they are less likely to subscribe to PSN as it has no value to them, and while they may buy digitally they are only doing so for the small handful of exclusives that interest them, while taking the bulk of software purchases to their primary ecosystem on PC.

Sony isnt going to suddenly jump ship and day and date PS5 games on PC. Nobody is expecting that. What they are expecting is Sony to continue following the train of logic, evidently backed by data, that total rejection of the PC ecosystem is money left on the table for no good reason, and will shape their business strategy accordingly.

We're not going to wake up tomorrow and see the Microsoft approach, but Sony will continue porting titles while the PS5 flies off shelves and they'll report increased earnings to shareholders and cite the advantage of leveraging two markets and I'll still be here trying to explain this to people.
 
I wonder if God of War will hit PC. Corey (the director) has himself said many times he wants the game on PC, but it's not up to him.

It's a great game, also finished it, so I do hope Corey get's to release it on PC.

Corey seems to just love video games all around regardless of what device he plays on so no doubt he wants God of War on PC, but again, not up to him.
 
I have little interest in the current WWS output outside of gravity rush, but if they go forward this will at least guarantee that any potential 3rd party acquisition will still release games on PC

Wanted to pick up Captain Tsubasa last night at WinGameStore since they have it the cheapest but fell asleep.

Woke up today and refreshed the page and they're all out.

They need to give Gravity Rush a second chance on PC.

I played and finished both of them and they are really good despite their flaws.
Sure, but before that let's go with Bloodborne, God of War & Spider-Man.
Throw Days Gone with them too.
 
There’s been such an influx of games to play lately.

I went back and 100%’d Mirrors Edge Catalyst since they added Steam achievements and now im juggling Control, Tell me Why, Hypnospace Outlaw (New expansion hype), Titanfall 2, Burnout Paradise, No Straight Roads and Wasteland 3.

On top of all that Deemo Reborn and Humble Choice are both out next week, I can’t keep up o_O

Pre-AAA fall rush. Everyone has to get out of Cyberpunk and Call of Duty's way.

I think it means more as in if in the future ND are launching any game on PC (which they would start with Uncharted Trilogy or Last of Us), ND would do the job themselves. Which is a "duh obvious" if you know how crazy proud are of the performance / look of their games. They wouldnt want to get an egg on their face due to a different studio failure.
 
Well, just came to wish you all a happy weekend, please enjoy your time playing, relaxing or doing whatever you want.

About the PC plans for Playstation games, as some of us have said in multiple occasions, please, be patient cause' internal plannings are always shifting and changing, maybe it gets pushed or maybe it gets slower, this year has been kind of special so yeah, nothing we can do but wait and see.

If I have to ask for a few games to come to PC would be:
-BB (Playstation favorite)
-God of War (not a fan but curious about it)
-Gravity Rush (Kat is love and deserves another chance)
-Spiderman (HATE spidey as character since I was a kid but I love Insomniac movements and love spiderman villains, weird I know)
-R&C games ( :cat-heart-blob: )

Sorry, first time I see that name :(
 
NiOh 2 should be out on PC this fall, yes? Can't they announced it already?
Hello, yes, Nioh 2 should be coming around November, however, KT warned everyone that delays could happen due covid, so while it shouldn't be affected, we might end up seeing it on PC in 2021, hopefully it won't get delayed :cat-heart-blob:

People on Twitter, Reddit (r/ps4, r/ps5) and ERA are already in denial stage.

Anyone who get a meltdown for seeing their favorite games release on more platforms needs to check themselves out or take a long walk to reflect on themselves.

I have been a Playstation person my entire life, more than I have been a PC gamer, I started gradually going to PC gaming around right before we entered the PS4/Xbone gen and I still play games on my Playstation devices, hooking up my PS3, playing on my Vita and playing on my PS4 for exclusives.

Yet I love the notion that more people will be able to play my game of the generation Bloodborne.

I noped out after reading (paraphrased) "I feel that exclusives let me feel more special and it depreciates it. Although, I am not that impacted by exclusives because I own all systems."

Why the fuck do you feel special by exclusives if you own all systems anyway?
 
There is enough lore, history, and mentioning of the things that happened in Wasteland 1 that it is not really needed to play it. Especially because the game is so old. I could still play Fallout 1/2 but not Wasteland 1.

That's a relief. I'll just start with Wasteland 2 then. Thanks for helping me out! 👍

Ratchet & Clank please

This. R&C is one of the best PS exclusive series imo. I've played God of War on PS4, and while it was a technical master piece with a strong narrative, the gameplay wasn't nearly as fun as God of War 3. Especially the lack of impressive boss fights was a huge disappointment for me.

It's almost like a lot of people wants to own their games.

And/or stay away from the Windows Store and/or encrypted game files.

damn that's a strong lineup. i know some irl people who'll have a meltdown :D
 
I've already played Dad of War, so I probably won't double dip on that one.

I will certainly play Bloodborne and Tsushima since I never got around to playing those.

I have the UC Collection for PS4, so I'm not that interested in those, but they are damn fun games to play though so maybe I'd get it on a sale or something.

A lot of this dependso the quality of the ports.

Looks like a 3DS game trailer in all the wrong ways. Why couldn't it be like Dragon's Trap?

Contrived as the genre can be some times this looks pretty promising with all those combat abilities and a seemingly nicely developed unique world/setting.


Oh, there's more neat stuff coming/shown.

He poked fun at him during the beginning of the show saying "The previous future games show was hosted by Nolan North for some reason" lol.
