More Playstation games coming to PC, starting with Days Gone this Spring
- Thread starter Chairmanchuck (另一个我)
- Start date
Nice to see Days Gone on Steam! So what else is coming to PC aside from Days Gone?
Save 75% on Days Gone on Steam
Ride and fight into a deadly, post pandemic America. Play as Deacon St. John, a drifter and bounty hunter who rides the broken road, fighting to survive while searching for a reason to live in this open-world action-adventure game.store.steampowered.com
We'll just have to see. Naughty Dog was looking to hire programmers with NVIDIA, Vulkan, and DX12 experience. Cory Balrog has previously expressed a wish to bring God of War to PC. So there's enough there to get people wondering what's next after Days Gone.
How did this video give me motion sickness?
Had to be some weird interpolation stuff.
Why are people AI interpolating TLOU2 when there is a baked in 50% speed mode which can be recorded and then sped up x2 to produce native 60fps footage.
Digital Foundry have been doing this for Naughty Dog games since Uncharted 3 lol.
They need to release TLOU Remastered first. And maybe the TLOU2 multiplayer.
First, Bloodborne is much older so it'll be a less bitter pill to swallow for the fanbase. Also, it will easily sell better than TLOU2 as there's a huge Souls community on PC (Steam) that will feast on it. I'm not saying TLOU2 won't sell, it's just not the kind of game that PC crowds are into. Sony has anticipated this too by releasing Horizon and Days Gone for the opening of their PC initiative, since open world games are a very popular genre on PC. They'll also need to release TLOU first before the sequel.
Fans that fight against availability, promote exclusion and see it as a good thing? Those fans should be deplatformed to suffer in silence, so they could see the err of their ways.
Those fans are what Sony is catering to, and they're not hiding it.
Those requirements don't mean a thing - it's a standard set of requirements for rendering engineers. Hell, even Apple mentions those APIs in their Metal-related positions.
Resident Evil sells well enough on PC, why wouldn't Last Of Us achieve similar?
Because I actually like Bloodborne and people have different opinions on games?
I'm not saying it wouldn't, I made that perfectly clear. Also, I'm pretty sure Souls games still eclipse Resident Evil in sales.
Additionally, considering the "controversies' surrounding TLOU2, I'm not sure if I'm ready to see how the Steam forums will look like. It'll be full of bigotry.
LoU2 just came out and Sony is in the business of selling their systems first then porting older titles to PC. Also BB been out longer and is a lerfect candidate to get people to double dip on a game they already own.
So we got lucky that there weren't too much community adverse this time. Corporate strategies should not cater or even listen to the whims of their lowest, toxic fanbase.
Dont understand why Sony dosent just take control of the narrative themselves and flip it around to show how this is a good thing that benefits everyone. If they really are worried about PlayStation "fans" being put out by this then honestly it seems kinda pathetic.
From reading the thread last night, I saw maybe 2 fanboys coming out and making a fool of themselves, compared to the Horizon announcement thats a lower number lol. I think its pretty telling that most have accepted the situation and realize Sony wants to make the PC a part of their plans.
Seeing them come out and actually say this feels so weird for such a large company like Sony but it kinda feels oddly in tune with their....ummm dedicated fan base.
It's more contained here because if you openly show your fanboyism you'll probably get banned. Just don't venture to Twitter...
Those diehard Playstation fans might be vocal but they don't have any power to enforce policy, for one simple reason: What are they going to do, not buy a Playstation? They can't vote with their wallets. They will remain invested in the Playstation ecosystem and they will keep buying PlayStation hardware and software, while Sony will get even more money from people being able to buy Playstation games on PC.
The Souls games aren't selling so much more than Resident Evil (or any horror/survival gam) that Last Of Us wouldn't be worth it.
And of course the forums are going to be trash; you'd be hard pressed to find a game forum on Steam that isn't. Both last Of Us games would sell millions on the store either way.
They will if there's money involved, they won't if there isn't. As I said above, those who complain about 'Sony devaluing the PlayStation brand' or whatever will remain completely invested in the Playstation ecosystem so Sony puts literally nothing at stake by temporarily displeasing them. They will complain for a while and then move on once they get accustomed to the new status quo.
The only way Sony changes its policy is if it sees negative results to its bottom line. Say, if the company notices a massive impact in console sales by people who were heavily invested in the PS ecosystem moving from console to PC. I strongly doubt that's ever going to happen because most people play on the platform they like and a handful of games aren't going to sway them either way.
This is all a bit weird. There is zero, absolutely no chance that TLOU2 - a genuine blockbuster of a game - will sell less than Bloodborne on PC. And I say this as someone who loves Bloodborne and hasn't yet played TLOU2.
Open world games are big on PC but so are literally every genre. Games just sell.
I wouldn't press for inside info, but I will absolutely press for a spicy take...
True. As I see it, they're definitely going for that direction, but they simply just want to take it slow. I'm honestly okay with it, the outcome will be the same, just slower.
Again, I never said TLOU2 won't be worth it. There are other factors too as I said in my original post, like it's still too recent compared to Bloodborne. On top of that TLOU is like their main flagship franchise, they'll probably save it for the last.
I agree we are far less likely to see TLOU2 than Bloodborne on PC. I was responding to you saying that Bloodborne "will easily sell better than TLOU2" - that is just crazy talk backed up by nothing in reality.
They will find a way to please their toxic fans and maximize profits. That is why I don't see Day 1 releases of new games on PC. But maybe they can slowly lower that period to 6 months. But it will probably stay a case by case scenario and we won't know if and when they release PC ports and that is why I will have to buy a PS5 is the foreseeable future. The waiting game sucks, especially if nothing is certain.
Doom Eternal - another single-player campaign - was among Steam's platinum sellers last year. TLOU2 was the sixth-best selling game in the US last year, and it came out on only one platform. Again, I love Bloodborne and I will rebuy it on Steam and it will sell well, but if you think it will outsell a genuine blockbuster like TLOU2 you're living in a bubble.
Sony made PS5 exclusives releasing.
If this started happening I would believe.
I see no reason to think this is anything but older PS4 games releasing this generation and maybe PS5 games releasing after PS6 releases.
Well, what we do know for a fact is that a slate of games is already being developed and planned for release. I too think that a day-and-date release is very unlikely for the foreseeable future but I also expect the waiting period to gradually shrink to a year, maybe less. Since this change in policy is recent it makes sense for the first games on the list to take longer to release on PC as studios will need some time to adjust their workload and development strategy accordingly. Future games will probably be developed with PC in mind from the beginning so the porting process will be simpler and faster.
Those toxic fans will just find something else to do platform warring. This is why some, including here, are hoping for a PlayStation launcher.
It reminds me how great and upfront Phil was some years ago with every new game will launch day and date on pc. If Sony wants that money they should be upfront too and not trying to trick ppl into their ecosystem. Give them the choice.
As someone who went and PS and PC the last two gens, I'm all for it. The fact is the PC community is better poised to preserve and enhance games as they age, assuming the port is halfway decent to begin with.
I really don't see why they ever would (since it didn't sell well in the first place) but The Last Guardian or really anything from Team Ico would be fantastic. TLG in particular could use a little technical help from modders IMO. Obviously Bloodborne is the dream. And, speaking of, Dreams would make a lot of sense. My last wishlist item, as impossible as it is, would be The Order at 4k60.

Right. Sony should be clearer about that so that we PC plebs can plan our hardware purchases accordingly. Just say "every game after 1 year also on PC" or something like that. But this uncertainty with every title just sucks. I am too much of a fan of Sony first party to wait for maybe/maybe not releases on an uncertain date in the future.
Unfortunately, that's the game that Sony is playing for years now with all their timed exclusive games as well. The only one we knew for sure that it was also coming to PC before PS4 release was Death Stranding and I am still not sure if Kojima spilled the beans without Sony knowing/wanting it to be known.
They already do with comments like "yeah, have fun playing the game 4 years later" - Can't wait for closer releases to PS5 launch date, haha.
Might mostly be because they tuck this among the positive news for them (PSVR2, new state of play etc) to drown out the buzz.
This PC announcement isn't on their own ps blog
Or... they could just offer people a way to access their Playstation account on PC?
They need to setup a pipeline for multiplatform development. Late ports rarely have big impact unless the audience is extremely starved for that kind of game (eg. Persona 4 pulling crazy numbers last year), so I think Sony will eventually start releasing games day and date on PC, in order to maximize their financial gain.
Hmm, that's a weird thing to ask, there is no such collection on playstation. Also all the games in series can be emulated well on PC already, all are PS2 games.
