I too confirm potential major reveals and announcements before they are officially announced.

Why would it bother you if PC players got to play these, exactly?
It's called not responding. You're not required to respond to random people on Twitter. If you're making jokes about shit before it's announced you're at risk of breaking an NDA.
It's really hard to see this as a win for SONY coming out of this, exclusives are still the future for consoles, you have to be able to have system sellers, the truth to this is Horizon Zero Dawn is a system seller.
The only way I can see this make sense is if it was ported as an ad for H2, which would then stay exclusive to PS5 for years. But even then, since Horizon is one of the first big first party games you plan to sell PS5 with, it's a risky message to send to potential owners.
I too would dismiss a future revenue source of a port I am working on.
It kind of went under the radar, but Sony announced a Sony game for PC yesterday during The Game Awards. Predator Hunting Ground is published by Sony and will be releasing on EGS. Seems like that is their go to platform for PC.

We've had Nintendo explicitly say "there is no new Switch model" a month before a new Switch model was announced. Are we actually taking PR responses as gospel now?
They dont need to be on PC, let the place to play those games be on the console. Sony isnt having trouble selling games.
If Jason said he had heard of it, or gave a direct hint at it, then sure. Here all he is saying is that there is a possibility of it happening and he has no reason to think there is no such possibility. Meanwhile, GG dev was taking the piss out of this just last night.
Look, can the game come to PC? sure. Do I think this non-answer was worth a thread? No.
Oh and if someone made a thread just to discuss Jason voting for Demon's souls in that poll we had, that would be the same. Anyways, carry on
Yeah I could see that happening. Same ecosystems since I would assume you would need a PSN/XBL account and more money money.

Hell yea the more games everywhere the better, i would personally still pick up the ps5 no matter what so i can wait to see of these games all end up on steam though. I cant bring myself to shop on the epic market.
Nintendo, the company, is different than one employee from Guerrilla Games. If I worked for Insomniac and leaked that Spider-Man PS4 was in development four months before it was announced, even as a joke I would be fired in a second.
Employees don't get to make company statements like that. It's not their job.

So Guerrilla games' employee is doing the right thing by not confirming the existence of the port (assuming the port is real)
Awesome, we agree
You're not really listening to me. You're not allowed to talk about unannounced projects AT ALL.
I don't see what's the big deal if it comes to pc, it's on sale for 10$ most of the time so i'm sure Sony would love some more money if Epic made a good offer, i don't care about the console warriors and mah console bullshit so i don't mind if Sony release their games on pc 2-3 years after the console version, and with MS releasing everything on pc the only one left is Nintendo but those sonsofbitchs will probably never do it.
I think Sony cares too much about selling consoles to make this a regular thing. People have said it's because the engine is already being ported so it would be easy, and it will be a 3 year old game at that point so it's completely done moving the needle in terms of selling consoles.
But I don't think it's in their best interest to set the precedent that all of their first party games will come to PC in any timely manner if they want to sell over 100 million PS5s. If you're willing to wait 3 years to play them like in this case I think they are fine with that.
I don't really care what they do one way or the other, I'll play the games wherever, it just goes against what has made them so successful so it's confusing.

Great if true, hopefully this is a start of more games. They have nothing to lose and make more money.

And he didn't. He deflected by joking about PC, and then saying "hey everyone, play Horizon on PlayStation."
Pretty much. If they want to be the market leader next gen they really shouldn't be setting the expectation that you don't need to buy their next console. It's mindblowingly stupid.
OP
OP
I thought it was! Since you think it's not, I'll request a lock
Can you at least say if you this is just a hunch or based on info you have?
Joking is talking about an unannounced project. Again, he was under absolutely no onus to respond to people asking him questions on twitter.
So you telling me you'll report Horizon coming to PC on Kotaku? brb opening a new thread.
OP
OP
Right?
I saw this tweet earlier and in my mind I was saying... how long will it take for someone to make a thread about this non-news and try to twist it into some sort of port confirmation. Come on era...
You're reading into it and drawing a conclusion based on what you want to see happen.
Makes sense no?
what use it keeping it exclusive beyond 2020 when no consumer will care and much more will open up on pc

Yea me too. Having all games in one platform with cheaper games and not having to pay PS+ would be great. I don't quite get why Sony is transitioning to multiplatform but I hope they keep this trend moving forward next gen.
Jason can you tell me if there's a possibility that it could rain next week so I can make a thread about it?
