Sony commits to a global launch for PS5 this year. Jim Ryan says "It's time to give fans something that can only be enjoyed on Playstation 5"
- Thread starter Glimpse_Dog
- Start date
I believe much of the delay on the PS5 unveiling/info is due to having 2 huge PS4-related releases getting delayed:
"We are going to get The Last of Us Part II out at the end of next month, and we're going to get Ghost of Tsushima out the month after that. And both with only small delays. And really, they were delays that were born out of complete uncertainty about the distribution scenario when we had to pull the trigger. It was like the world was heading into this big black hole, and we didn't know whether the internet would be working, we didn't know whether warehouses would be able to operate. So we took the cautious approach. But the games are ready to go and we are feeling really good about them. "

You know it's quite logical that when I spend my hard earned money on a new console, my expectation is to play games that are only possible on that new console. If I want to play games on the older generation console I can always turn that console on and play it there. There are many reasons why TV have multiple HDMI ports and this is one of them.
User warned: Port begging
And Microsoft isn't?
If the reason is being a dick to the PC crowd, mission successful I guess. They are not obligated, but Playstation gamers would lose nothing by their games being available on PC.
How is that scumbag? I don't want them releasing everything on pc as it makes the console redundant in the same way Microsoft put everything on pc.
Please explain to me the magic fairy dust that makes code work differently on the PS5.
They're not obligated though. If you don't like their value proposition you can choose other competitors that do it.
It's not just code, it's also the business model, but I don't think you're actually receptive to people explaining that to you.
Not releasing a game on a given platform does not equal "being a dick" to players on that platform, jesus christ.
Windows is a Microsoft platform, which they should be supporting.
Do you have to same attitude towards Mac players or Linux players not being served by Microsoft? Plug an external GPU into a Mac and it's well capable of playing any Microsoft exclusive.
I'd love more PS exclusives to come to PC so I can play them in higher resolutions and framerates, but I also fully understand why they're not on PC.
Excited to see next gen only games.
Expecting big things from Geurilla with Horizon 2.
Give me an Uncharted game with an actual Indian protagonist, not a retconned existing character.

I think it's funny that he basically is saying the same thing as Microsoft last gen about the shift to a new platform and people are praising him
So this is a thing now huh?
Are people crying the same about Nintendo exclusives?
Horizon has been confirmed to be coming to pc right? I get what you're saying but I don't think they want their ps5 games day one with pc.
Its more likely that years later some titles will come over there much like Horizon if it does come by this summer.
The fact that they're even letting ps4 first party be part of pc is them being quite more open than ever before.
You're not gonna win this argument, friend.
Sony has their own strategy, and it remains to be seen if PC will become a bigger part of it.
Until it does, they'll continue to promote exclusivity culture.
It is what it is.
OK that's just silly. Of course Microsoft is trying to sell consoles.
Consoles and PCs are not the same crowd.
Difference being that Microsoft caters to both audiences, and Sony isn't.
They're adding value to their platform with exclusive games. It's not hard to understand.
You sell hardware by having exclusives. It's really that simple.
That was a poor post on my part and already retracted. Sorry.
You are not the only one, That's one of the games I'm anticipating as part of the launch line up.
Lmao, you're not owed shit. It'd be great if they did release their games on PC, but you're not entitled to them.
Fortunately, we have a product for people who wants to play PlayStation 4, it's called PlayStation 4
Indeed.
Your name just all of a sudden clicked for me. Did you use to hang out on the 1UP forums back in the day?
Go Google demand and supply or Economics 101. After that research Monopoly, duopoly and oligopoly. Once you have a grasp on all of those easy concepts then research about game theory and especially the Nash Equilibrium and you will be enlightened on why Sony won't release their exclusive on PC.
Jim gets it. This is the reason why I purchase next-gen consoles, to play new videogame experiences not possible on prior generation of consoles. Not to merely play cross-gen games in slightly upgraded visuals.
still only talking about SSD, dual sense and 3D audio. No mention of ray tracing. Likewise though I think MS aren't pushign that hard. I know we have no idea still how well AMD's new GPUs will handle it, but this relative quietness suggests it won't be a key feature?
Is this serious? If so we do really need this kind of posts in almost every thread?
No. MS are primarily software based no? Yes they make hardware and as a XB1X owner, they CAN make great hardware (surface too, OG xb not so much :/ ) But if your invested in that infrastructure it's a win for them not matter what platform you play on? The way they talk about MAU's and such less about hardware numbers you kind of get that impression. And Satya has said himself about breaking down these barriers and working cooperatively even if it helps another part of s rival business,like hooking up with playstation on the cloud side and such.
So they are heavy on how they can get people to interact with there services regardless of what box they play on and every business needs to play to there strengths. Playstation hardware is one of Sony's better ones so they need to keep people on that and give them a reason to stay there.
At the risk of sounding creepy actually remembering this...did you have a Sideshow Bob avatar? Might be misremembering that one.
The 2 are not at all the same? Mattrick was talking about an always online alternative when he mentioned the 360.
If they skip ps4 because they want to make use of ps5 features then it's obviously nice. However, a theoretical Demons Souls Remaster for example that allegedly was in development for ps4 and was canceled to be ps5 exclusive, or even Godfall would not be good examples as they just arbitrarily canned the ps4 version of the game.
So I hope it's less of the latter and more of the former. And let's go!
