Damn, guess I'm not a real gamer because I don't want to waste my money on consoles 😔

This is not going to age well what with people saying Sony big franchises would never come to PC lol
Since there have been a few people saying this, has this ever happened in the history of videogames? And I mean in a significant capacity.
Days Gone appears to be the shortest gap (2 years), is that right?
I imagine 2 years will be more like the standard going forward for new release stuff now. They'll fill in gaps with porting the remaining back catalogue of PS4 stuff intermittently. I expect Spider-Man to be a big deal whenever it gets ported.
We have no statistics whatsoever, just theorycrafting. You could make a case that anybody tempted to jump into playstation as a result of this now is offset by people who only play playstation for the 5 exclusive games they care about per gen, which they now know they'll never need to buy a playstation for. Since no stats exist either way, who's to really say?
The biggest benefit, which is undeniable to all parties, is simply that they'll sell millions of copies of these games on PC.

Never understood why threads such as this have 28 pages of anything other than... glad it's coming to PC; I'll enjoy playing it.
PC players will never buy a console to play a sequel to a game they like early... they'll just spend that time playing other things and invest that $500 into their next upgrade.

- I'm mainly a PC player and that line of thinking applies to all ends of the spectrum.
- Played the original Halo:CE when it launched on PC, played Halo 2 in 2007 (3 years after the console release) and played 3, 4 and Reach only when the MCC launched.
- I played TLOU through PSNow (because I heard good things about it), but hated the latency and I'm not going to get a PS4/PS5 for TLOU2, I'll play it if and when it eventually gets to PC.
- Now I'm really glad MSFT sobered up and are launching their titles day and date on PC (I'm a GamePass subscriber already)... will Sony ever do the same? not right away but everything points to things heading that way anyway.
- Console makers do NOT want to keep fighting for the same 150 million user market every gen when they can expand to PC, Mobile, Cloud, TVs... etc.
As a Sony fanboy (who dabbles in PC/Nintendo/Xbox/mobile etc), this seems more like a perfect cashgrab for Sony with GOW being sold for $10 nowadays.
Sony gets paid, PC players get a great game:
Guess now we have to wonder which of the PS4 exclusives will win the PC port lottery.
Horizon port -> Upcoming Sequel
Days Gone port -> err Bend had nothing to do atm?
God of War port -> Upcoming Sequel
Uncharted port -> Upcoming Movie Adaptation
My guess
Dreams -> bound to happen one of these days.
Driveclub -> No way, licensing.
Killzone Shadow Fall -> Not unless a Killzone Collection gets made.
The Order -> No way.
Until Dawn -> If a sequel gets made.
inFamous SS/FL -> Probably a random one like Days Gone.
SOTC -> Wait until Ueda's next game is revealed to hype it.
Last Guardian -> See Above.
Concrete Genie -> Maybe.
Gravity Rush 2 -> A collection of both games seems perfect but I'm not sure if its worth it to Sony.
Ratchet (2016) -> on the Geforce Now Leak but I think it might actually be Rift Apart because I feel like 2016 is non-canon now that were back to the OG timeline.
Spider-Man -> Probably next year or 2023 near the sequel.
Bloodborne -> Money down that Sony is sitting on this one until its time for a remake.
Tsushima -> on the Geoforce leak, definitely happening.
TLOU 2 -> probably next year, near the release of the series, maybe a collection with the remake?
I think the rumor of Sony remastering some VR titles could be a sign of upcoming PC ports as well.

I think we'll see them slowly wittle down 2 years to 1 year, then eventually simultaneous, as the fear of reducing playstation sales is outweighed by the millions of extra sales and their budgets just continue to climb making it more important than ever that every game sell huge numbers.
I'm not expecting this before the tail end of the gen though. And by then, their business model may have shifted to be promoting their sub service with day one releases, too. It all depends how the market goes - too early to tell.
Will there be a few? Of course. Will it be a noteworthy amount? Not until hell freezes over. Large amounts of PC players who have been waiting for years to get these games on PC aren't suddenly going to buy a $400/$500 console with each game costing $70 a piece at launch just so they can play the sequels, it's just not happening. They'll just wait until those sequels will also come to PC.

Yes I know, and judging how the movie trailer ends with an ad for the remaster, I'm right in assuming that they want to release it near the film.
I have a PS5 and I like it just fine. But I'd be lying if I didn't say I wanted everything to come to PC. Never having to get a Pro or a Sony console again would be amazing.
No. If a PC user couldn't get convinced to buy a Xbox or PS before Sony and Microsoft released games on PC, then Sony and Microsoft actively supporting PC won't convince them either imo.

I don't remember what I was doing last month, but somehow I missed this news.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at but the logic just doesn't check out. Where are these people who have no idea what God of War is and suddenly realize "Wow, I have to get a console now that these games are on PC, adios PC!" once they've played it on PC?
Wonder how this will fare on the deck. I have a voucher for the EGS store but prefer to get this on steam for the possibility of handheld kratos.
Should be good to run on deck. There is also a 15% off coupon on GMG so it's $2.50 more expansive to get a Steam copy atm which is nothing
Some Santa Monica devs are excited for play it on the Deck, so i'm pretty sure that will fare very well on the Deck:
Apparently the games are so amazingly good that PC players will rush out to buy PS5s now for the sequels, instead of y'know, just waiting like they did before
Seriously.
Not one person who actively passed on buying a ps4 and ps4 pro and ps5 is suddenly going to go out and buy one cause they played the definitive versions of GoW and Horizon on their PC lol.
They will continue and consume definitive versions of multiplats like always.
devs of the major Steam games don't have anything to do with Steam Deck optimizing, right? Or do I have that wrong..
I don't know how a SM dev could have any idea how their game might run on Steam Deck at this point?
In this thread I learned everyone that plays games on a PC is playing on at least a 3080, has always had the opportunity to buy a console, and no video game can be good enough to raise anticipation of its sequel.
I guess they could have a dev kit, they are Sony after all.
Devkits are out and many devs have uploaded footage of them playing their games on it. Wouldn't be shocking if SMM got one too.
If I had to guess, GT7 would be the first one that comes to PC a year later. The Nvidia leak suggest some games are coming way sooner than expected.
Lmao damn.
I mean, life changes. People get kids, a new partner etc. People Who been playing on pc cross over to consoles because its a easy way to continue play games. I have at least two friends in the mid 30s Who went that route.
And If these said persons have been enjoying PS first party games then they might go with the ps5.
Yall talking for every "pc gamer" out there is pretty lol.

Buying any console or PC hardware is an investment and you have to be blown out of your freaking mind to make a decision based on one game alone. It does happen for some, but rarely.
Just waiting on those PS5-only titles from the leaked Nvidia list to get announced. The copium will be massive.
You aren't excited for more posts like this?

Well with this move they certainly make PlayStation seem inferior and subservient to PC and Microsoft.
😂
Thanks for the heads up. No reason not to get it on Steam then.
Really?Because i built a gaming PC two years ago(also played mostly on PC in the 2000s) and i play games there just like i do on a console.Not everyone has the same experience with you or others
I'm not talking about the practical elements of it.
I'm talking about the mindset, for example, PC gamers rejected paid online, shit like games for windows live, and they're currently rejecting shit like paid exclusives from Epic. Whereas on console, that shit is accepted, and in some cases, celebrated.
At least I'm mentally prepared now that people have warned me about this sudden urge to spontaneously purchase a PS5 once you're done with the game.
Ohh, so all of this is their retirement plan for middle-aged parents? 🤔
No but seriously, it sounds like those people are already in the market for a console so I really don't see how God of War being on PC would change much.
It could be the deciding factor of wich console said person goes for. Its Mostly about earning money from pc but it is also to out the PS brand in the mind of a different consumer. Things aint White or black.
GOW is only two spots behind Elden Ring in the top wishlists, ahead of games like Monster Hunter Rise (which launches just 2 days before).
I wonder how big the launch will be.
I wonder how big the launch will be.
We'd need to ask him to get a answer. But at the very least imo a GoW developers should know the specs the game will need on PC and can compare it to the official steam deck specs.
Ah did not realize that all major devs got kits to target for their multiplats. I thought the deck was designed to run the games as is and Valve is going through games to notify which ones can run and how decently they can run. Didn't realize devs were going back to released Steam games and optimizing a Steam Deck version. Good to know.
