A lot of PC versions of games have been launching in crap states with various issues recently. While it's not a new phenomenon, it's happened frequently enough for recent big releases that it's been notable

I recall the director or producer of FF16 saying that even if they started work on the pc version immediately after launching the ps5, they probably wouldn't finish in 6 months.

Obviously, no-one can say right now, but what are your guesses?
Based on the studio's past pc launches, their expertise with optimizing games, or whatever else you know

[ViolentP]

Yes. Or maybe no.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

How good were VII Remake and XV at launch on PC?

 

[Black_Stride]

Sure.
Wasnt most of their early footage done using the "PC version".
Imma guess its gonna be a good state but then people with their GTX 1060 3GB will be shocked the game doesnt run well at 4K with Ultra settings.

But but but the PS5 can play it so my GTX1060'3G absolutely should be able to run this with ultra settings.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Luminous engine? Probably not then

 

[Danjin44]

All I know is it gonna be long wait for PC players.

 

[Supple]

Square Enix never has good PC ports.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

I hope not.

PC top, PS5 bot

 

[Mung]

Almost certainly not.

 

[Aenima]

Well, they are delaying the PC version just to make sure it gets some atention. So in theory it should release in good state. If they drop the ball or not is yet to be seen.

 

[Teslerum]

Luminous engine? Probably not then

No, expanded version of the XIV engine.

How does XIV run on PC?

 

[kicker]

How good were VII Remake and XV at launch on PC?

Wasn't VII remake done by a different studio?

I don't recall seeing many articles about pc issues with 15 either, but that was a while ago so who knows

 

[Buggy Loop]

No, expanded version of the XIV engine.

How does XIV run on PC?

At launch? Pretty fucking terrible

 

[ShadowLag]

PC port + NFT Enix + 2023...

I'd like to be wrong though.

 

[Teslerum]

At launch? Pretty fucking terrible

Not at launch. More like right now, since that's a better indication of the current state.

Or at least around Heavensward, since that when the split happened and I don't know if for example there were two branches of the engine formed after that.

 

[light2x]

Not a chance in hell.

 

[BennyBlanco]

FF7R is unreal engine and runs fine. I’m more worried about the quality of the game itself.

 

[Skifi28]

 

[Kilau]

I assume all games will be rough at launch on any platform, all goodwill is gone.

 

[Kumomeme]

as long nobody rush the devs.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Scratch that, will the ps5 version launch in good state?

 

[Rentahamster]

In most cases, probably not, but I believe in Yoshida.

Didn't the PC version have issues at launch? The original PS4 version was actually in really good shape... didn't even get a patch for like several months not even a Day 1 patch. And yet Square never fixed the two biggest bugs.

AS an owner of a 4090 and PS5, I am buying it on PS5 ( preferably used ). sell it as soon as possible and just wait for the PC version then where my collection of games are.

FF16 and FF7 remake part 2 or whatever its called now are the reason I have a PS5 ( that and GT7 ), I do not want to wait till next year or probably in 2025 for remake part 2 to be on PC.

 

[Perrott]

Nixxes is not there for Square anymore, so no.

 

[SantaC]

We will be lucky if we see this on PC

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Yup.

 

[FunkMiller]

Nah.

FF fans are all on Ps5. They're not going to bother putting loads of effort into a port that'll be months later.

 

[Shifty1897]

There's no way. Square thrives on making terrible PC ports.

 

[Celcius]

Yes it will, trust me bro

 

[Danjin44]

Yes it will, trust me bro
