"Console exclusive" definitively rules out a Nintendo release, although they could probably change their mind by the time NX ships.
I think Ni-oh has a better chance releasing on PC than on NX, just a thought about the genre at hand and the company publishing it.
While I agree that some aren't likely to hit PC, you really think they will really get NX releases over PC releases? LOL.
Yakuza depends. I dunno how Zero is being handled. Yakuza 5 was brought over by Sony themselves. And I doubt SEGA is all of a sudden confident in the series again so Yakuza Zero is probably a Sony joint too, so small chances of PC.
Nioh is a game published by Tecmo Koei and made by Ninja Theory. A PC version is basically a certainty, imo.
Ni No Kuni is published by Bamco and they do love PC, so I think we might see the original and then the second one ported too.
i dunno, i don't have anything to back this, but i have the feeling if games like yakuza 0 and ni no kuni 2 were gonna be on pc sega and bamco would've ported the prequels first (or at least started to on yakuza)
tho to be fair those are huge games so they might not be the easiest of ports, specially since they're ps3/ps2 exclusives and very much console-specific games aren't really easy to port either
I would love that.
I was actually expecting a Ni No Kuni Remastered for PS4 or at least a port for PS4 of the original game. Got very dissapointed it didn't happen.
Small correction that is actually quite the difference.
Ninja Theory is replaced with Team Ninja.
After the conference Im not so sure if a PC/PS4 version of Ni No Kuni is happening. I thought announcing it after the Kuni 2 announcement would have been perfect.
Yeah, sorry there, mindfart. Also, regarding corrections: on your list you listed NiOh as "console debut", but it seems i'ts actually "console exclusive". You were likely fooled by them wording their trailer as "debut trailer":

There's a small patch that removes the black bars over certain symbols, in this case there's no reason not to buy that version for cheap.
They very well might do ports of the originals first and then move on to the sequels, or in Yakuza 0 case, just start with that. Who knows. However, I think with the "console exclusive stuff" it's very likely because there is no other meaning for the term other than for mobile perhaps. For "console debut" ie FFVII R and Ni No Kuni 2, it could refer to NX, Xbox or PC, in any order or with some excluded.
Again, who knows.
Then again, games like Grim Fandango Remastered were announced out right as "Playstation and Vita exclusive", and were clearly obfuscating other platforms when Tim Shafer initially refused to comment properly. Then after enough complaints, they announced it was coming to PC at the same time. There is no telling anymore with these console exclusive things.
Even more on point is stuff like Dragons Quest. I would even go as far as saying watch Tekken. They announced an "exclusive VR mode" and have made no mention of a PC version at all. Yet Harada will be at the HTC Vive dev conference, and I'm going to take a guess that it is related to Tekken.
Where does the 2005 scene come from? I thought it was always in crazy blocky vision
Ah, that's good to know. Haven't played the game for a while so I couldn't really remember.
A new Wizardry 8 patch is out!
Any idea what nGlide part means?
Wrapper for Glide, an old graphics API that 3dfx Voodoo cards used to use years ago. Maybe the "n" is an nvidia implementation. No idea. How old is the game. If it is from the 90s, then it is likely, if not, then I am totally wrong
Haha, now I understand why people might have been a bit more annoyed all this time.
It's from 2001. Just seems weird that they seemingly went back to a previous version for some reason. The game ran just fine before, too.
EDIT: Ah, disregard that. It's 1.02 to 1.04 and I read it the other way for some reason.
A new Wizardry 8 patch is out!
Any idea what nGlide part means?
updating nGlide would possibly mean some fixes for graphical bugs or performance issues. Here's a page with the 1.04 changelog: http://www.zeus-software.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=795
They did mention Windows 10 support, so that might have been the issue.
Updated to 1.04 from 1.02. They are going to the newer version.
i mean, i just don't think the words here mean a whole lot
like, even final fantasy 7 we have no guarantees, it's up to publishers whims and those can be unpredictable
Sega's previous attempt to put Yakuza on a Nintendo platform was a colossal failure in Japan, so I doubt they'll try that again.
It's the same devs that did Binary Domain, right? So it could be the same situation as that, where Sega Europe get one of their teams to port the game over. It's a pretty strange situation though, because it seems Atlus are the ones handling Yakuza's localisation and release in the West now, and they don't care about PC.
Ah I just checked, it is a Glide wrapper, and it seems that the version is an updated one. So you should get perhaps better performance / less lag / hitching, less bugs or graphical glitches.
Yeah for sure. Plans change all the time regarding this stuff. I think it gives me some confidence in these things showing up though. Obviously, nothing is certain till they straight up announce them coming to PC. So now it's either the waiting game or deciding to just go for it on PS4.
Ni No Kuni is the only one I get "they probably mean NX" vibes from given the 3ds version of the first game and Level 5 generally being cozy with Nintendo. Only thing making me think of a PC port is that Namco is publishing in the west and they've been putting out a lot of PC ports lately.
Last Blade 2 is being done by Code Mystics who did KOF09 and KOF2002 on Steam so I'm guessing that'll probably show up eventually. Not sure what the exact wording there was.
Yakuza Zero is a prequel that takes place before Yakuza 1 though, so it seems like a decent place to start.porting stuff. (even though IMO in general prequels made after the fact are still better played in release order) Hell, after that they can just do the upcoming remake of 1.
Given that the NX isn't coming out for at least like a year, I kind of doubt they meant the NX by that.

I feel like Nobunga should have done better, given the strategy crowd on PC.

It's actually a Japanese language only application, but still. Literally 15 owners at the worst.

Just watched the FF7 Remake trailer.
I am now fully erect.

When do you think Ni No Kuni 2 is coming out?
Besides it is listed as a console debut. No matter what, the second platform, if it's a console, will be getting it later.
i think the biggest reason to believe it'll be on pc is that it's a new game they're making from scratch
porting old stuff depends a lot on the availability of the original game assets and source code, how tied it is to the platform it was made for, licensing and rights, if an audience for that entry exists (maybe you wouldn't just port yakuza 5 or whatever they're in console?).
there's so many ifs that it doesn't make as much sense to port old games unless you check a lot of those boxes
but making a prequel from scratch for a new generation of consoles knowing that it'll be ported to pc seems like the right way to go and i wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on pc, specially since sega seems pretty pc-friendly these days
the final fantasy 7 trailer and knowing there's bloodborne and there's also persona which i doubt it'll be on pc anytime soon really got me looking at ps4 prices
there's some sales here at 700usd that are tempting, but that's also such a ridiculous amount of money that i'm not sure i can justify myself spending
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I'm more shocked people are excited for a shitty game like Ni no Kuni. The rest are legit good though.

It's a bit grindy but I enjoyed it.
Finished the game and never look back though. Might double dip if coming to steam at good discount.
Pretty sure it'll be 40% off again on the upcoming winter sale.
Shoooot so close to grabbing it but I'm still catching up on Black Flags! Maybe by the time I'm on Syndicate it'll be even cheaper.

I am legit shocked at what people are discussing (arguing) at the FFVII PS4 OT.
It makes perfect sense to buy one if there are enough games you like there. Some people can happily throw their money at something like that for just 1 or 2 games, knowing it will spend most of the time gathering dust, but personally I need well over 10 games and a lineup of stuff still to come so I can justify it to myself. I have so little time to devote to gaming in the first place that it feels like anything less would be wasting my own money that could be put to a better use. With the PC at least it's covering so many other things at the same time while also having almost everything I want gaming wise.
Perhaps you should wait for a bundle to make it more cost effective?
I almost bought it. Almost. I can waiiiiiiit.

As I see it, all the "Console exclusive" are coming to PC, the "Console debut" ones are going to be ported to another console, Idk if those are coming to PC. the "PS4 exclusive" ones arent leaving Sony platforms anytime soon.
If you are talking about specs, well I agree. These games can be played on most pc.
If not having a gaming pc was the excuse for not playing them then you know they are being obtuse.
It was in my cart, but I have a good feeling about the winter sale. At the very least, it'll match it again.
Don't you have like a bazillion of those nvidia codes anyway? =p
