There have been rumours about Sony exclusives getting PC ports for a while now, and while the latest one regarding HZD has yet to be confirmed, there is now way too much smoke for there not to be fire, and Sony seems in no rush to douse the flames. GAF's own confirmed industry insider,
VFXVeteran
(who has been proven right before), has been predicting more Sony PC ports for some time, and it just makes sense that, if Sony are already willing to port one of their marquee titles in HZD, then there's no logical reason why the rest shouldn't follow.
Although I don't own a PS4 myself, I was lucky enough to get to play on my friends' console while house sitting for them (they have pets). They have a decent library of the big PS4 exclusives (or as we should now probably get used to saying, console exclusives), so I have already played GoW, HZD, Uncharted 2, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and Spiderman. Unfortunately, HZD was by far the worst of the lot in my opinion, so today's "announcement" isn't incredibly exciting for me personally (but then again I'm really not a fan of massive open world games so I admit some bias there). The rest were a lot of fun.
If I had to pick three that I really want to come to PC it would be God of War, Astro Bot and Knack (just joking, my third choice would be Bloodborne). I only got around halfway through GoW due to lack of time, but I really enjoyed what I played and it would be even better at 60+ fps. Astro Bot is by all accounts a seminal VR platform game and I would love for it to come to PC VR (no one VR system is huge in terms of install base, so the games need to be kept platform-agnostic). As for Bloodborne, well I suspect that will be a popular choice, and hopefully a PC version can fix the stuttering many complained about in the PS4 version.
Gravity Rush deserves an honourable mention, as I think it is exactly the kind of game that could benefit most from Sony's new policy. Even it it only sells another 100k on PC, that may be enough in terms of extra sales to convince Sony to develop another sequel. I suspect the Switch might be a good fit for the game too, but there's no indication of Sony porting games to Nintendo consoles right now.
It's interesting to speculate which game would sell the most on PC, and whether or not any would beat Halo's sales figures (between 2-5 million according to Steamspy). I would guess GoW as the number one seller and think it would just pip Halo.
What say you, GAF?
