Smart move by Sony. After playing this they have to buy a PS5 for Ragnarok. New userbase.

Bryank75 GET ITT!

 

[Flintty]

Spider man we are waiting…

This.

Cool though, I will probably give God of War a try.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I think apologies are in order. When I said Sony will bring all their games to PC, I was mocked and harassed on this very forum just a year or two ago.

 

[Haggard]

I spent enough hours with the game already, but good for everyone who hasn`t experienced it, yet.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Awesome, it’s truly one of the best games ever. Hope the PC crowd appreciate it! I’d double dip but it’ll never beat the first time playing it, so I’ll wait patiently for the sequel.

 

[SlimySnake]

Man...if Only PC harware wasn't so ridiculously expensive right now

Actually, having just bought a new CPU, Motherboard, RAM and SSD, they are all pretty cheap. Competition in the CPU space has forced Intel to reduce prices. you can get an 8 core 16 thread CPU that hits 4.8 Ghz for just $250.

SSD prices are dropping now that Gen 4 SSDs are finally being mass produced. lots of competition. I picked up a 7GBps 980 Pro for just $190. Gen 3 with 3.5 GBps is only $99. Several brands a around $100 for Gen 4 SSDs.

GPUs are the only thing that is overpriced at the moment, and sadly thats the most important thing.

 

[BigBeauford]

This is incredible news for those who left consoles behind. GoW3 was my last play in the series. This looks very different so I hope I won't be disappointed.

 

[Airbus Jr]

So now eventually every playstation game are coming to pc

That does it for me then ps5 is the last playstation i buy

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Who was the other pcmr guy who was talking about this a year ago? I feel like he needs a hug too.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Hah, God of War coming to PC before Bloodborne. You’re funny, Sony.

God of War will have a sequel next year. This release makes sense next tbh.
Bloodborne will end up happening eventually

 

[Adam_802]

lmao I remember when people said ps games wont ever be on PC xD

 

[Larxia]

Hopefully there will be a FOV setting / option to move the camera further back, I don't like the narrow camera of the original, but the rest of the game seems really cool.

 

[cormack12]

Our PC version includes a wide range of graphical presets and options so you can fine-tune your visual experience based on your setup. From higher resolution shadows and improved screen space reflections to enhancements to the ambient occlusion pipeline with GTAO and SSDO – God of War on the PC can create striking visual quality unique to the platform.

We’re also happy to announce that we will have full integration with NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) available on RTX. You won’t have to sacrifice high graphical settings and output resolutions for high performance in God of War.

In addition to DLSS we will also have NVIDIA Reflex low latency technology available. Reflex delivers a more responsive experience allowing you to react quicker and hit harder combos.

Alongside the graphic and performance improvements, we are also offering 21:9 ultra-widescreen support.

God and the meltdown that came with Horizons, that was insane. I'm sure this will be even worse. But you know, get that popcorn ready if you're into that sort of thing.

Here is the blogpost:

God of War (2018) is coming to PC

The Santa Monica Studio title launches on PC January 14, 2022.

blog.playstation.com

They also sold nearly 20 million copies.

We’re thrilled to announce that God of War (2018) will be coming to PC on January 14, 2022! All of us at Santa Monica Studio have been humbled by the immense amount of support and passions fans of the God of War series have shown in the latest chapter of Kratos’ story since its release. As of August 2021, 19.5MM copies for God of War on PlayStation 4 have been sold through and we can’t wait to share that experience with a whole new group of players on PC.

Yeah, you’re right, I just find it funny because I’ve seen so many ”Bloodborne PC port please”

 

[HTK]

All in all this is great news for everyone.

 

[Kilau]

they have being clear about their plans to expand to pc, mobile, streaming, but they are also clear about their own platform being the priority.

I know they have been clear in stating that but they have been anything but clear when communicating what and when.

 

[spons]

Seems like a good port, at least on paper. Good thing they're spending time and money on this instead of rushing out inferior products on PC.

 

[tommib]

Finally I can play it at 4K 120hz like it should be played.

 

[legacy24]

I really should have went with PC this gen smh

 

[Mr Moose]

19.5M, damn.

 

[M1chl]

Is this the first PS game to arrive after the Nixxes acquisition?

They are probably helping, but port would probably take longer than they are with Sony. But they could have helped externally.

Well, this is them nowadays. No one knows shit till they want :-(

We all have been mocked. Its a forum. You'll live.

 

[winjer]

This is hard to believe. But it's true.
Going to love playing this on PC.

 

[LordCBH]

Yooooo! My 2018 GOTY can be played by more people now!!!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Who was the other pcmr guy who was talking about this a year ago? I feel like he needs a hug too.

[Turk1993]

The game was so good im gonna buy it again to play it on my 3080 ti. Keep them coming sony, let the other players also enjoy this masterpiece.

 

[amigastar]

PC is really on a roll this Generation.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Good news PC gamers. Here come the games! Oddly, GOW is coming out before UC4.

Horizon
DG
God of War
UC4/LL

 

[kyliethicc]

RIP bryank

 

[IFireflyl]

That was an easy pre-order. Thanks OP for letting me know!

 

[Banjo64]

$50 for a PC port of a 3.5 year old game is kinda cheeks

I disagree. If you own a PC and not a PS4 £50 is pretty fair. If you want to wait for a sale, games like Horizon are regularly £12-£15 on Steam.

 

[sergiovassari]

Hopefully there will be a FOV setting / option to move the camera further back, I don't like the narrow camera of the original, but the rest of the game seems really cool.

Mods.

 

[Hugare]

PS consoles are becoming useless

Not really, no

Consoles will always offer the best bang for buck ration compared to PC.

Building a PC with PS5 specs here in Brazil would cost more than R$ 11k, while the PS5 costs R$ 4k. Almost 3x more money.

Not only that, but having to wait 3 years to play amazing games such as GOW ...
I'm way too anxious for that

 

[cormack12]

 

[KormaChameleon]

I can smell the PC port of Bloodborne...

 

[Midn1ght]

I remember rumors about God of War coming to PC but this is still a "out of nowhere" kind of announcement.

Last game I bought Day 1 was No Man's Sky in 2016. Guess GOW is the next one.

Thanks Sony, now the Last of Us please.


Also, first Sony game to get DLSS support? (unless you count Death Stranding).

Nice.

 

[Gargauth]

Is this Nixxes doing what they do best?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Exclusively is a mental block in the gaming community who’s to say Gears of War won’t come to PS5?

 

[Banjo64]

Smart move by Sony. After playing this they have to buy a PS5 for Ragnarok. New userbase.

Or just wait 3 years for Ragnorok to get ported. Either way, Sony get paid.

 

[Come On Tars]

well shoot, it's real

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

PS consoles are becoming useless

Why would I wait 4 years to play a God of War game?

Sales for the game are officially about to hit 20M. It was announced today.
That's more than all other God of War games together. Everyone on Sony's ecosystem that wanted this have played it by now.
I'm sure most people that play on Sony's consoles would rather spend only 400/500 $/€ on a console and play a game on day one than waiting almost half a decade for a port and play it with all the extras on a 1500/2000$ machine.
Sony isn't doing this to lose their market share.
They just want to expand on it outside of their hardware machine.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I wonder how steam deck will handle it? Portable god war sounds fun.

 

[TTOOLL]

After selling almost 20 million copies…why not? Good move by Sony I guess, as long as they keep releasing for PC long after the PS4/5 versions.

 

[skit_data]

I see there are some enhancements for PC that are not available on PS5. I wonder if they will make a native PS5 version with those enhancements.
