It's only port begging if you're asking for it on Switch, let's not get carried away here.

More Playstation games coming to PC, starting with Days Gone this Spring
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
Good news, always wanted to try this game.
Which next gen console did you go with and why?
But you already have a PS5?

You know a rumor is complete bullshit when it has a multiplatform Nintendo game, especially Mario.
So far, a few of her leaks have come to fruition. She also leaked Horizon way back, and Forza 4 in a different post.
Bear in mind that she made it clear that some of the info were old and things might change.
Yeah Microsoft are making bank on PC. Would be silly for Sony not to pursue the same revenue stream. Nintendo however don't make decisions based in any sort of reality so I don't expect them ever.
Agreed. Things like Days Gone and Death Stranding make sense as they're AAA titles that don't have the mindshare or evergreen legs of the big flagship franchises. Even HZD, it was a huge hit, but not a TLOU/Spidey/GoW tier system seller.
Last Guardian, Bloodborne, Dreams, Ratchet & Clank and games of that ilk make a ton of sense for PC release as it has no adverse effect on brand value and only stands to generate revenue & hype.
seems like a shotgun guessing method, i too can list 30 games i want to see and wait which ones come true?
MS and specifically games like sea of thieves have shown how much money you leave behind by artificially gatekeeping to keep some fanboys happy
Yeah lol, like what? The interview itself mentions a slate of games coming. Guessing those games isn't port begging.
I guess when Dreams comes to PC I hope there's crossplay or at least the ability to view creations between console and PC.
Testing snippets of code on PC and running an entire game with the graphics pipeline entirely designed and hardcoded for the PS4 are two very different things.
yep. really embarrassing. sony announces more games are coming to pc and some get mad at others speculating what those might be.
lol to be fair, it's a thread based on confirmation that more Playstation games coming to PC, so this is more speculation/anticipation. Now, if someone were to enter this thread and say, "BOTW2 PC, when?", that'd probably meet the criteria for "port begging".
If mods decided to enforce it, the ones banned would be the morons whining about port begging in a fucking thread about more pc ports coming.
That means there's a chance of a 60fps patch. This pleases me.
This is great! I love playing exclusives on Playstation and don't regret getting a PS5, but the more games that come to PC, the better it is for everyone. I think Uncharted might be the most interesting for me, or maybe TLOU2 - anything that is still locked to 30 FPS?
Who would have known that porting old games to the PC can make you money. I don't expect Sony to go full Microsoft and do day and date PC/console releases, but yeah I think it's safe to assume the PC is going to keep getting ports years later. I also don't buy the whole "Yeah Sony will port X game because of _____, but they will never port Y." Those people are already eating crow after all that effort explaining why Horizon was obviously a one off.
Actually pretty interested in seeing if Sony will also do the same with its VR content. That would be particularly interesting with PS VR hardware coming out "soon", which I hope is compatible with PC for the sake of seeing more options and competition available
Same, doesn't seem many people care for those explanations though.

i mean, i get it. i do not expect any bans and there is good context for what i read seeing as jim ryan confirmed more playstation games will be coming to PC. ...but the thirst for bloodborne to be ported to PC is very, very strong as evidenced here.
I'm curious how long it will be before we eventually get day one releases between PC and PS5, if it'll ever happen. I've no doubts that Sony is looking as closely as they can at how many Xbox Series consoles MS is selling in spite of day one PC game releases on Steam, and I've no doubt that if the Series S|X stay relatively competitive that Sony will have day one releases by 2023
It'll be nice to be able to play more games at higher than 30fps, that's for damn sure, as that turned me off Days Gone at first. I was gonna play it again when I got a PS5, but since it and hopefully more will come to PC I won't have to.
My biggest hope, however unlikely, is that we get ports of the smaller Sony games from this gen too like Knack 1/2, Gravity Rust 1/2 and Ratchet and Clank 2016, as those were in my opinion the best PS4 exclusives (though to be fair, I genuinely prefer playing games of the Sony AAA style with a keyboard and mouse on PC, so this may have hampered my beliefs)
That's really fucking impressive honestly, where even with Gamepass PC giving day one access to those games they still sell incredibly well on Steam. I can definitely see Sony

It's only bannable when it derails a thread, like your post is doing now
Oh but if you ask me, everything that is on the PS4 could end on PC, without restrictions. I was only talking about PS5 games.
But there are more interest to do this than just a volume of license, and so to eventually exclude some titles or to delay others.
I'm not a big believer in... magic. But this place is different. It's special. The others don't wanna talk about it because it scares them, but we all know it, we all feel it...I'm talking about the Resistance trilogy.
PC players want one of the best games ever made on their platform of choice? Hmmm. It's also been heavily rumoured for years now and people are just waiting for an announcement.
It might have already been mentioned, but just as important I imagine is that Horizon was also on that list.
User threadbanned: off-site drama, derailing
Queen is a bigot/psychopath from kiwif, so eh.
Nintendo would make bank on PC, but they're less incentivised to do so as their major software has outrageously long legs and through the Switch they've positioned themselves in such a way that they don't directly compete for the Sony/Microsoft ecosystem. That Nintendo can keep making a fortune off Switch launch window games that still (eg: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8) is just batshit insane, and with Switch sales still soaring high it's easy to see why they're comfortable in their own closed ecosystem that has no real competition. Exclusivity works in their favour as they want people to buy into the Switch ecosystem, and since the crossover with other ecosystems is minimal it's a very much all-or-nothing situation.
For what it's worth I think it'll be a long time before Sony day-and-date modern software on PC in the same way Microsoft has. Microsoft has really consolidated their software strategy around cross release, cross platform play, GAAS and it's worked wonders. It's lead to an enormous revival of initially lukewarm titles (like Sea of Thieves) and repopularisation of ports (Halo). Game Pass being offered on both platforms is a boon.
Sony on the other hand will drag it out until they can work out exactly what they want, but they money is there and the evidence is irrefutable. They'll stick with late-to-the-party ports of AAA titles past their shelf life, but I'm sure the influx will only increase, and Sony might explore their own storefronts or subscription models as business ideas change.
And folk here will still be jumping through hoops to avoid admitting why Sony is doing this. I look forward to the mental gymnastics when God of War '18 gets announced for PC this year, and the usual "but it's [insert engine] and that's why it's ported" excuse runs out.
Well that's very un-"Gentleman"-like from you. Also, no she isn't. Stop taking gossip said on the internet as the full story.
It's to get people interested so they go out and buy a PS5 for the sequel, naturally.
Fuck yeah keep it going, days gone wasn't my favorite game but I'll absolutely support this continuing.
You're right, when Jim Ryan refers to a "slate" it's actually a colloquialism from his native Newcastle which means "1 game".
True that, but even before (back when Mattrick announced Halo 3 and Fable II will stay on Xbox) it was "Microsoft, you're alienating other gamers by forcing them to buy a console they don't need". Kinda tired of Parenti-like attempts to paint everything MS does in a bad light these last few years.
Jim Ryan's slate:
(Should be noted that the term doesn't seem to have been used by him directly)
Do I have the wrong queen? The one who used to have an account here until they decided to parrot some kf libel against Era's founder?
Please be good ports, please be good ports. 🙏🏼
I don't want another Horizon trash port Sony, thank you.

This right here, it's pretty obvious they'll only port PS4 titles to PC, and I bet in some cases PS5 might benefit from this process, BC-wise.
