Halo the master chief collection was twice as old and did twice as good.

It’s also 5 or God knows how many games + multiplayer. You’re no comparing apples to apples.

Age of empires 2 was 5 times as old and did twice as good.
You want me to keep going? PC gamers never cared about the age of a good game.
A bit hyperbole, the only disappointing port has been Uncharted 4. Sack Boy just has shader stutter, which affects a lot of games on PC right now and the rest provide more options than the console version such as ultra wide and high frame rate support.
edit: Do you remember the time when we had locked 16x9 games, either 720p or 1080p and 30fps caps?

Again, it was a remake + multiplayer.
I’m only mentioning the age of the game to highlight how much time people had to play it on PlayStation. Despite God of War being exclusive to PlayStation since day one of the franchise, and 4 years passing since the release on PS4, it still managed to be one of the most popular games on PC that year.
What’s so hard to grasp? Seriously.

I think they have been porting over some high profile games to PC like Spider-Man, God of War, Uncharted Collection, Days Gone and Horizon. Honestly though, I don’t think Sony even cares about Bloodborne, so who knows if we will ever see a port of that game on any platform.

Well, I've only tried two. Spider-Man Remastered has been excellent, no complaints whatsoever. Runs 4K @ 120 fps ultra settings with no issues at all and does't even cause my fans to flare up all that much. Sackboy has some minor issues on the Deck (drastic fps drops) but runs flawlessly on my absurdly expensive desktop PC.

Well, the RE2 and RE3 remakes run remarkably well on my aging 2014 PC with a 1060 GPU. I'm pretty much squeezing just as good performance and graphics as a PS4 pro. And the latest patches cleaned up most of microstutter issues i had.
Unreal 4 though... Worst engine since Unity.
I'm only just feeling the age on my 1070TI. It eats most of these console ports up at 1440p.

Days gone doesn’t have a native ps5 version

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
To be fair every developer sucks at PC ports when the master race can't have everything on Ultra 120fps+
No matter what the game, what graphics is being displayed.
the developer needs to die a painful death if it so much as dips in frame rate while running at Ultra settings.

Well, I wouldn't say what he says seriously given he is quick to label people as "Sony fans" simply to dismiss a game tied to PlayStation. You are doing a good job not taking his bait but I think he is just trying to waste your time.

I think they are rushing tons of games out simply to open up their schedule in 2023 and 2024 for all the GAAS games coming out (which will likely be day one PC games). Sony still have other popular franchises to port over as well if they feel like it like GT7 and Ghosts. And there's also LOU confirmed coming soon, as well as smaller sellers like R&C, Returnal and DS.
2023 will likely have some of these existing games port over and then when the GAAS games come out (are any even coming in 2023?) it'll give them an empty slate to have those as day one games. SP focused games like all the ones they've released (and the others above aside from GT7) can be ported over anytime. No different than old ass legacy games selling on Steam and GOG for ages. But for maximum impact for their game sales, they need open release windows for when the GAAS games come.

The PC port quality is about what I've expected from Sony. I.e.quick port jobs with some added sprinkles like DLSS/FSR, some ray tracing etc, but not at all optimised for PC strengths. Doesn't take much money or time, and can sell at a high price for a brand new audience. It sucks...but it's the modern day industry in a nutshell. They are just profit seeking mega corporations after all. As usual, we have to vote with out wallets if the ports aren't upto scratch.

What are you talking about man?
What task would you offload to a 3070 that the 2060 couldnt handle slower?
Isnt that literally what happens right now.
You send render tasks to the GPU, the 3070 does those tasks faster than a 2060 so your frametime goes down your frame rate goes up.
You are proving his point.
The last couple games were Sackboy which absolutely no one was asking for and Uncharted 4. Porting the 4th title in a character/story driven saga is pointless. Might as well just do Little Big Planet next for another L.
Considering how popular the Souls series is they would have to be morons to not care about it.

I know. Sony needs to put more effort into providing better experience on PlayStation 5 for their first party games, right?
ArtHands
Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
They should provide much more support for their PC games first. They have already established their customer base on console after all

Ahhh so just because they are established, they can provide subpar experience on their flagship console. You’re right, makes sense!
Nah. They put more effort than I'd expect into their pc ports. Ultra-wide, improved graphics, DLSS/FSR. They do a good job even if they have some performance teething troubles sometimes.
If they really sucked at porting their games the steam user reviews would reflect that. Bad console ports always get hammered on steam reviews.

I feel 2 rather undesirable games out of 6(?) games isn’t really bad though especially in this relatively short time frame. Most of those games are still considered large franchises as far as the PlayStation brand goes. Apparently the Souls series is not popular enough to Sony because many people have been begging for a sequel to Bloodborne or even a remake for years and Sony seemingly keeps ignoring it. Maybe they’ll prove me wrong soon, but I have my doubts.
