why don't people think persona won't come to pc

especially p5 since it's on ps4; easier porting

Because Atlus. Sometimes, there are exceptions, and I genuinely believe Atlus is a company stuck in a really old thinking and completely closed to western markets.

 

[Varth]

This series needs a larger fanbase to live in the WEST. I thought by now everybody would have realized that. Also, the "keep your esclusive, Sony!!!1" shit is funny. Its not like it was a paid esclusive at any time. It was only because there was no market for it anywhere else as the Wiiu collection showed. If PC port can have a role in getting new chapters in english, why not.

 

[salromano]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

“All that is confirmed and all that players should expect is a PlayStation 4 release. There is no PC version in production.”

 

[Teknopathetic]

Welp.

 

[purseowner]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

Not in production but potentially in the pipeline down the road or is it truly dead?

 

[GhostTrick]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

Eh, to be fair, it's not like PR would tell something that isn't supposed to be unveiled yet.

 

[BigEmil]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

Wtf so confusing why can't SEGA just be straight up to clear the confusion better not change statement later

 

[StayDead]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

I own a PS4 but this sucks. We should be opening games up for more people to play!

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Well at least they said something.

 

[Dictator93]

"There is no PC version in production."

They can say that because they already finished it.

 

[ViviOggi]

Risking a lawsuit from who exactly?

Consumer rights groups maybe, surely their PR department didn't come up with it to inform potential customers of other versions

 

[Big_Al]

I'll buy this on PS4 and PC if it becomes available, make it so Sega.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

pre-production confirmed

 

[Tizoc]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

Suuuuuuuure
It is a matter of time
Sega's games are gonna make it to pc one way or the other

 

[prudislav]

well its around the time sega should unveil their new PC port ... but who knows

 

[MillionStabs]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

So basically PC version is confirmed. Awesome!

 

[Mifec]

"There is no PC version in production."

They can say that because they already finished it.

I was about to come here and post this. Well played sir.

 

[Dunkley]

Here guys, this is from Sega:

I'll still keep on hoping.

I mean I got nothing to lose since I didn't really expect this to hit PC in the first place.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Not in production but potentially in the pipeline down the road or is it truly dead?

Good grief...

 

[JayEH]

Because Atlus. Sometimes, there are exceptions, and I genuinely believe Atlus is a company stuck in a really old thinking and completely closed to western markets.

well the 5 month delay of persona for the west is proof of that.

 

[GhostTrick]

Wtf so confusing why can't SEGA just be straight up to clear the confusion better not change statement later

Of course they will change it later. PR will do PR and won't let cat out of the bag. The same thing happened for NieR Automata.

well the 5 month delay of persona for the west is proof of that.

That is, english only, with another publisher taking publishing duty in Europe. And in today's standards, 5 months delay can be seen as such in a world of worldwide releases.

 

[Necromanti]

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

because pc has 0 AAA that interest to other people...and please dont tell me about star craft...

www.gamefaqs.com

you might feel more at home there

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Because exclusives are pro consumer amirite?

Stop with this nonsense, please.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Tbf nioh was confirmed to be a PS4 exclusive. But sega could flip on this. I just prefer not to be hopeful until confirmed.

 

[Shadoken]

I think "PS4 Console Exclusive" = Third party exclusives that may or may not be ported to PC/Mobile/Arcade , the Sony contract probably just states that PS4 is the only "Console" it can appear on. So Sony is just playing it safe and saying PS4 console exclusive on the box.

"Only on Playstation" = Sony IP, never coming on anything else apart from PS.


It makes sense that stuff like KOF14 , NiOH and Yakuza are labelled "PS4 console exclusive" because their contract with SNK,Tecmo,Sega probably allows to to release on PC. But it is still up to those devs whether they do it or not.
It isnt a Confirmation of a PC release sadly

 

[TGO]

None of my games have that, its always PlayStation Exclusive., I have SFV too and that don't say that either.

Outside of how Sony labeled Nioh at that PSX announce, Koei Tecmo hasn't said anything to indicate a PC release. In fact, even their most recent press release mentions, "Nioh is in development exclusively for the PS4 system."

 

[Infernostew]

Pack it up for now. For anyone getting interested in the series for a possible future PC port of 0, I would highly recommend checking out Yakuza 4 on ps3 to start. 100% worth it and you can probably pick up a ps3 on the cheap these days.

Then they should just write "3rd party exclusive" then not some confusing mess

 

[Big_Al]

I would love to say I'm surprised at seeing someone come in here and go 'oh no please no' would happen but I guess not. A series that sells so fucking poorly over here that it takes a few years to get the next entry after Japan.

So the first thought isn't 'Oh if more platforms play it then it might sell more and get us fans versions quicker' it's 'MY FAVOURITE ELECTRONICS BOX ISN'T GETTING AN EXCLUSIVE!' Even when nowhere near confirmed, just the thought of it sets them off.


Fuck sake.

 

[GhostTrick]

Then they should just outright write "3rd party exclusive" not some confusing mess

There's no confusing mess. PS4 console exclusive means it's a console exclusive, which means it's not getting on XB1 or Wii U but on PC, sooner or later.

The OP has Akiba as an example of Only on PS label and it is most certainly not a Sony IP (and there's tons of other examples out there as well).

 

[cyber_ninja]

The more people get to play it the better. Yakuza such an amazing and underrated franchise.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Sega, the world's foremost developer of PC strategy games, putting a game from the makers of Binary Domain on Steam.

Vs.

The label is different in other regions.

I know which bet I'm taking.

The same Binary Domain sold 250k on Steam and was really well received by PC players?

If Sony isn't paying for them not to do it I see no reason why Sega wouldn't do this but probably not for a while after release.

Reminder: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1077085

And notice the overlap in posters handwaving this, lol.

 

[Ganado]

Some things are just not meant to be. Problem with SEGA is that it doesn't seem that they are porting anything themselves for a quick release. They just pick a random title to get ported unlike say Bandai Namco that quickly pushes out PC ports for a release with the console release.

 

[TGO]

I'm from the uk and it don't say such thing and Yakuza 0 has Only PlayStation on it.
My copy has nothing on it because its a steelbook
8-D

Where did they post this statement?

Or arcade or mobile

 

[Nzyme32]

I wouldn't expect it any time soon, but I expect eventually (years) since by and large that is what happens. Vanquish is a likely Sega port to hit first by the recent hint

 

[jmga]

Or arcade or mobile

Never been the case.

"Console Exclusive" games usually come same day or soon after PS4 release. Don't remember any which has come years later.

 

[HardRojo]

"There is no PC version in production."

They can say that because they already finished it.

Lol this'd be MS PR levels of spinning things.

 

[GhostTrick]

Or arcade or mobile

Mobile yes, arcade no. And in this case, you can cross off both.

 

[mejin]

The more people get to play it the better. Yakuza such an amazing and underrated franchise.

And they can play, if they really wanted.

Some people are always saying they are all about games, but what they really want to say is: all about games in their platform of choice.

 

[BigEmil]

Never been the case.

Kof is still arcade ain't it. Its not like these can never be considered in the future so can't write them off completely.

It's not a matter of "whether" but "when".

 

[GhostTrick]

KoF XIV isn't in arcade. And considering how well KoF sold on Steam, it's a safe bet. The "Console Exclusive" bit isn't for fun or just a mistake. It just means that it's coming soon to platforms that aren't consoles.

 

[Zanzura]

Where did they post this statement?

It's Sal Romano of Gematsu, I'm assuming he just asked them via e-mail or something.

I fucking hate when people do that. You're not in grade school anymore, stop acting like you are. It's embarrassing as fuck
