Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition launching on Steam this Summer

What i meant, is that PC is getting stuff from all sides, games that are not in one of the consoles are on PC.
I think Sony's following Microsoft's lead. Sure they may sell a few PS5s to some PC players, but the goal isn't to get a few PC players off the fence. The goal is to create a second revenue stream, selling to an entirely new audience that's not buying a console.
That's where they stand to gain the most.
It's even funnier seeing Hulst trying to assuage fears when Sony's next game is releasing on PS4 and PC on the same day lol
Yeah not even close mate. If you're going to make statements like you did about certain PlayStation exclusives not coming to PC but can't back it up, it's just idiotic fanboy drivel.
I had been told Gravity Rush 2 and Last Guardian were planned to go to PC. Nothing confirmed though.
This is great news, Sony will get more of my money now. Smart move and nice to see they are starting to talk.
That's tame compared to how another forum that starts with N4 is likely feeling right now.
It's crazy how well the games sell on PC. Like you said, Bloodborne would easily hit 1,000,000 insanely fast. It would hit 2 million in a month more than likely.
And even those games aren't the first ones. You had Helldivers and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture release on STEAM a few years ago. And even back then people were making excuses for those games being on PC.
I think people are in denial as to what is coming down the pipeline. It shouldn't even be a big deal. People are going to play on their hardware/platform of choice. If the ecosystem offers a good experience and is tailored to what the consumer is looking for, then that's what should matter. People having this unhealthy loyalty to a corporation and/or its platform is kind of scary.
This situation is as intriguing as the time Devil May Cry 4 went multiplatform and people cursed Capcom to hell and back for the game not being exclusively on a Sony machine.
I'd double dip on any of my PS4 games. Personally I would like to see Days Gone.
THIS^^^
I'm sure there will be people who decide to not get a PS5 (or Xbox) in favor of buying a PC, but I think the amount revenue lost from those people will be significantly less than the amount of revenue made from PC sales. Plus you people weirdly afraid for the future of consoles are completely ignoring all the other reasons people get consoles (price, ease of use, continuity of ecosystems, etc). Maybe all you care about are the exclusives but I guarantee you are not a significantly large block of people. I just can't see a future where the mainstream or even a significant amount of hardcore console gamers up and leave consoles for gaming PCs of all things unless Valve one day makes a successful go at a Steam Machines 2.0 initiative.
While he didn't say that, he did say he believes Sony should be casting a wider net and then immediately clarifies Horizon releasing on PC doesn't "necessarily" mean Sony will commit to PC releases going forward, which strongly implies that this is the intention but it's contingent upon something. Logically, said criterion can only be these test cases selling well.
Now, I'm not arguing Horizon and co. are destined to exceed expectations on PC and Sony eventually being on the same side of the fence as Microsoft vis-a-vis the PC is a forgone conclusion. But it seems quite clear that Sony has been watching Microsoft closely over the past few years and has decided that path is worth exploring.
When the OT for the port is made, can the OP please make one of these statements (or a combination of both) the title?
Excellent news! I'm not too fussed about HZD, but I'll be there day 1 for a port of TLG!
Yeah, I understood but those two aren't/weren't really exclusives compared to something like Octopath Traveler or Daemon X Machina.
With that said, I'm surprised Sony didn't start with TLOUR considering it was released a long time ago AND the sequel will be released in a few months.
That would have triggered PS4 sales ! :D
Hmmm. I'm not sure I read it like that or more along the lines of particular games will see a PC release. Him justifying Horizon in particular right after my comment is the source of that belief in me.
He says "releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn't necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC." The use of future tense doesn't exactly leave much room for interpretation, especially considering how impractical it would be for Sony to port every existing first-party title.
Unless this guy is a grade A troll I don't think it is. Just look at his twitter history. It only takes like a 30 second scan to see he's a capital C Console Warrior.
No. Pre-orders probably won't go live until a release date is announced.
I found it quite funny the response he gave, almost to try and calm down some of the hardcore fans out there:
And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn't necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don't have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.
Interesting stuff. GR2 especially could use a sales boost.
You haven't heard anything about Horizon 2, have you? Can't wait for the reveal.
My point was that his follow up sentence is pointing to horizon as a specific case. His "necessarily" definitely doesn't illustrate the move to multiple games being ported.
HZD is easy due to death stranding. What comes from here is yet to be seen but I could see it being done before big sequels drop like GOW 2. But that's only if Horizon 2 is coming soonish after PS5.
Same here. Before the news broke I was considering picking up the PS5 day 1. Now I'm definitely building a PC. Having both xbox and ps exclusives in one platform is just too much to ignore. (plus not having to pay to play games online.)
While I do believe him saying Sony won't be putting day of date games on the PC, at least not their big staples, I do think they will be testing the waters more to see the reaction. PS Now will certainly be getting more 1st party support.
Sony knows they have a very dedicated fanbase where they need to be very calculated in what they say and do.
Just your tone in your comment validates what i said. Go read, i mean really read, what i said and then come back to me with more maturity.
Personally i don't give a rats ass if it comes to pc or not.
Most definitely.
I mean, Horizon's PC port is the entire context of the conversation, so of course he's going to refer to it specifically, and he's not going to allude to there being other ports in the works if their release depends on how well Horizon PC sells.

But what I'm saying is there is a weird assumption that all games will come even if Horizon does well. If Horizon does well more may come but it's more likely to be specific targeted games (3 years after release, certain sales dropping, etc.) as opposed to a sweep of the lineup.
Fantastic news! Might try to go for the 100%.In all the bluster of news, missed that the game will have Steam Achievements:
By this time next year there should be HDMI 2.1 GPUs with the bandwidth and power to run this with HDR, 4K and frame rates a good bit over 60FPS, if not 120.
Already played this so I'm not going to get it immediately, but once I can do the above I'll jump in.

Oh, sure, Horizon isn't going to open the floodgates. There are going to be more test cases.
Yep! Would also be cool if they do some friction-less PSN integration so you get trophies synced too. Seems they will give more news "in future" via the community hub / social media
I think they're trying to find a spot between Nintendo and MS.
They want big releases that sell a ton of units at launch (Nintendo) and then wait a while to get some PC revenue (MS). They are exploring that space in between right now and it will be interesting to see where they will land and which side they will lean more toward.
If I had to guess, it would be toward Nintendo with the MS route being a supplement.
Not yet anyway.
Indeed.
You'd think the story would be just enough to make it all work, but it is actually one of the strongest parts of the game (along with combat).
If this game sells millions on PC the floodgates will open. They won't leave that money on the table.
