Sony confirms: more first party games to PC

I think they should release their own PC storefront, essentially mimick UI from PS5 onto a PC app. Being able to buy games, friends list, party chat etc... Not sure why anyone would hate exclusives go to PC, especially after years of being out.
I think they'll do it as cheaply as possible. Maybe Epic store exclusive where the fee is lower than Steam (maybe even none at all due to Sony's Epic deal).
 
I'm still several pages back, trying to catch up now. It would be funny if mods changed the name of this thread to, "How to catch a salty fanboy". The amount of sodium and cortisol going through some of you guys blood is hilarious and cringey at the same time. You guys played the single player games a while ago, why so angry that others get to play them, and support your favorite devs?

Be careful. You don't know what some platform fanatics are capable of.

To be honest, I'm kinda worried about Sony's upper management and their safety right now. People are getting genuinely psychotic, then proceed to write bullshit like this:

Not sure why companies think PC is some trillion dollar market that they are missing out on, but I guess anything for more profits. More power to them I guess, just devalue's "Playstation" exclusives with messaging like this.

Ok, this has gone on far enough... Why would'nt Sony expand the playerbase of their games?
MS is already buddies with their PC bretheren and having Xcloud comming up as well.
Sony has their legacy. Why not release their PS4 exclusives on PC? It's a chance to capture even more new players.
And if those players are hooked, they have to buy the PS5 to stay "updated".

I'll add this is another reason why the $250MM investment in Epic makes sense. You'll likely see more first party studios move to Unreal because of how easily it scales on both PC and console. I suspect that rather than try to build their own store on PC like Microsoft has they'll choose to partner with Epic Games Store-easier for Sony to not have to own the backend/distribution side.

Ive owned every single Playstation and have already played GOW on my Pro. I sure have given them alot of money for something I hate. With that being said gaming at 30fps is not impressive. You should see and feel what DMC5 looks/plays like at 120Hz. GOW is trapped and needs to be freed.

Each to there own taste. I meant if your only excited for GOW then you cant be too much of a playstation fan. Not excited for games like Bloodbourne, Uncharted, Spiderman if they come for the PC?

Im not saying if 30fps is impressive or not. But some of the best games of all time have been at 30fps and less. Mario Odessy, Zelda BOTW and Bloodbourne being some of them. They are all far more impressive as games then DMC 5 to me
 
Looks like the PCMR is afraid of healthy competition....

Anyway, speculate away. Salivate over the games we have already played and completed. The more you build yourselves up, the more delicious your disappointment will be.
Bryan, get your facts straight. I always buy a playstation for those (rather few) sony games I want to play
so no saliva, just tears


Goddammit, your still not hurting are you.

What did that thread do to you?

And embrace the future, we will all be their one day.
Hurting? to be honest, my ribs started to hurt little bit, but its from laughing ;Pp

Ghost of Tsushima sans downgrade ooooooh yes pls

I dont think its any different than what they are doing now Horizon and Death Stranding. Some games will come to PC years later or a year later like Death Stranding

we can't assume that Sony will do Gag's bidding and only release older games on PC

I am sure they are going to be laughing their asses off in their offices with the fanboy threats, while they are checking their increased bottom line

I finished bloodborne two years ago, horizon zero dawn as well, the sooner these games get ported to the pc, the sooner were get people like you paying for them at higher prices, there going dead cheep on PlayStation atm. By doing this, sony can help fund bigger and better games on the ps5, exclusives to, which you will need to wait again form

You know its true. thanks for helping the fanbase out. :messenger_heart: :messenger_heart: :messenger_heart:

Always have Nintendo if they do this...I'll just stop buying PlayStation.

When they see the base collapse and their most loyal leave, they can cry till retirement.

The final and most petty form of entitlement. Boycotting a console manufacturer just because a small portion of their first-party output gets released on other platforms for more people to enjoy.

You really think PC and PlayStation owners like myself are going to wait years for an outsourced port that is probably going to be full-price? It's a nice option for hardcore PC players who have no interest in consoles for whatever reason.

Hardcore PC players aren't interested in Sony first party games

You don't lose anything by them making their games available to PC users who aren't going to buy a console. It will not water down the value of the brand.

This is like if Sony had never sold PlayStation in Australia and getting mad that they want to bring the PS5 there. You'll have PlayStation fans on PC and on console. It'll only make the brand bigger.

The real question is how many will be day and date? I could see Sony allowing a shared library ala Gamepass a few yrs down the line
The problem it doesn't matter to PC players they are the most patient and cheapest gamers out there. As long as they think it is coming they will wait for it on PC saving console costs. Sony is playing a dangerous game Microsoft got burned by it.

Lmao tell that to Microsoft who is selling games for 50 cents on steam and no console sales. You only lose putting your products in other platforms and getting less full sales. 60 full dollars on psn or 20 dollars on steam minus lord gaben cut lol.

Anyone who says this doesnt effect Playstation ( releasing their first party game on PC) are fooling themselves

Look at how it effect Xbox from Xbox 360 to One

Xbox lost nearly half their userbases in just a single generation

I know your really upset, the people in the other thread did a number on you, i get that. That was not my fault, but you did try to spread fud in there and they man-handled you, i get that your angry.

But that's not my fault, you kinda did that to yourself.

All i can suggest is let it out, the more memes, gifs you can post, they will help you in your revcovery.

Call out as many people as possible, what ever helps you to feel better about yourself.

I am with you BUD. :messenger_smiling_hearts:

It's my choice.... if he thinks he is entitled to tell me how to feel cause he made a game I played, I got news for him. I don't give a shit.

I have 3 Switches in my house and I got 2 PlayStations this gen, if they port one more big title, I wont get any PS5 and I spend a lot on PS exlusive CE's every year and other games on the platform.

I am very definite in what I say and do.

?? What LMAO full stop dude. No one owns these IP's but Sony. You don't win anything, the guys with PC's don't win anything. Who takes it as a personal accomplishment or insult when someone plays a game they've already played?😂😂

I don't think this would matter, especially with singleplayer focused games. You haven't missed anything if you play Uncharted 4 or Bloodborne in 2021.

Bookmarked. Sony is about to save you some money this holiday season. You can spend it on things that matter, like therapy.

You have to take into consideration I bought the PS1, 2, 3, and 4, before I jumped into PC gaming. Of the exclusives of this PS4 generation Bloodborne, Uncharted 4, GOW, and Spiderman were the only ones that interest me. Bloodborne I've played too much already and I'm checking for From's new games which get better and better. Where is Elden Ring hiding? Spiderman by the end of it I was full and couldn't even bother to finish the DLC I paid for.

Did you take a poll on steam, or are you projecting your own brand insecurity onto others? Who says PC players won't buy Sony exclusives day and date? They've also waited yrs for the MCC, though many have been asking for it day and date of the XBONE.

Lol, the salt is real. The PlayStation brand was fucking built on 2 entire generations of piracy. That's how it got it's global appeal.

I confirmed those rumors last year when the consoles were announced. And yes, I did receive a LOT of backlash for it. I was only stating what was told to me but it somehow came across as me trying to cause trouble.
Why would they think that? I mean, it's not like you try to shit on every single PS news story about its games or technical abilities of the console!







Wait ....

Microsoft has seen a lot of success with Game Pass, and Halo MCC + Sea of Thieves on Steam. If you think they are not making money then you would be mistaken.

If Microsoft is seeing success with those titles imagine how well something more popular like the next God of War will do for Sony.

I think it’s inevitable that they are going to put more games on PC eventually. They should do it like they are doing it now where they wait awhile and release them when they get old. I wouldn’t dare pull a Microsoft and put all or most of your games on PC day one which to me would be very detrimental to the PlayStation brand.

They just have to cautious with the timing of this strategy because this is how it started with Microsoft if I remember correctly and now look at them.

After a lengthy delay i.e. 2 years after the games launch on ps5, surely? Otherwise you are devaluing your box.

As much as it seems like it on forums, consoles and PC are entirely different users in the real World. Sony would sell 2-5 million more copies of every exclusive game if they were on PC on day one. They’ll still sell a couple of million with late ports.

Funny considering its a genre I don't particularly like but of all the 1st party titles that could make their way to pc, its Gran Turismo I'd like to see most. 4k, 60fps and with all the associated pc specific graphical bells and whistles, it would be a stunner.

They re always free to express that they want to make their games multiplat

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with that

Us consumers are also free to express that were not going to buy Playstation 5 and unsubscribed from PsPlus because we can decide that PC is good platform for us to provide all we need from Sony

It's also the one that makes the most sense. Sim racing scene on PC is huge.

Well for playing bloodborne you were only three and a half years behind me. Let's call that a honorable difference ;P

Now, if you bother to read sony's pdf, "strategic key points and direction" part, I do think that they if expect to gain substantial profits, they won't go just releasing 5 year old games.
maybe they will start from older games, so as to upload the first party portfolio on steam, but if they want sales, they will aim for max sales, and that will happen only with their current games
 
An improved version of TLoUP2 on the PS5 will sell the console itself. What the hell is the port on the PC? To immediately scare off potential buyers of the new console from Sony? This is a clear shot in the face, right from the start of the generation. This is a really stupid decision. Ah, VFX sources are also here. The dude likes to be the center of attention. However, in the real source of information, and not from the ass of a veteran, it is written quite differently. But here it is customary not to read, but to fantasize and improvise. Ok.
And these ever-praying and begging on "PS4-to-PC-ports" PCMR... PC beggars, lol.

You can play almost every Nintendo game ever released on PC in higher resolution and framerate. You know, between doing spreadsheets and taxes.
Nobody really plays games on PC, they look at performance benchmarks and sniff their own farts while wipe sweat from between their fat folds..... and look at nude mods cause they can't get any.

Then they restart cause windows has crashed again, while they sit in the middle of empty fastfood boxes and listen to their chair creak under their heft.

They are hardcore waiters, they always wait for extreme sales and humble bundle deals. They can endure 6-7 years of wait to play PS5 games after we departure to PS6.

Its great. I dont think that the PC market cannibalizes the PS market because PlayStation players dont go and buy the most expensive PC just to play the same game.

the games get released first on PlayStation and 6 months (or maybe more) later on PC just like HZD.

Sony getting more revenue its great for all console players
 
If their is one thing we can say about GamePass despite the hidden numbers, it's that it isn't successful financially.

It's a value proposition from Microsoft (especially with all the $1 deals doled out) because their first-party output has been so poor.
So will the ps5 games be subscription based or a one time fee on PC? Subscription may not matter for single player only games. But it could very well be viable.

I mean day one releases. Mulitplayer games can lose their players quickly (crossplay) or you cannot catch up with other players (crossplay) or meanwhile there is simply a better multiplayer game, but it absolutely doesn't matter when you play a singleplayer game and most Sony AAAs are singleplayer focused.

Nah, not if it’s the same clusterfuck level release that was HZD. Keep embarrassing yourself at the feet of your True Gods, Fony.
