Sony's PS4 exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC this year, sources tell Kotaku.
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
The don't make much money on the hardware anyway, so selling you a physical PS5 box isn't the money maker. Microsoft is realising this too. The money gets made on the software, so if you put the software out on more platforms, everyone benefits.
I see two ways forward with this.
1. Sony starts publishing their exclusives on PC, but with a lengthy delay that guarantees all initial sales happen exclusively on their platform. Allows them to get extra revenue out of older games that otherwise just sit in the catalogue collecting dust.
2. Sony makes a deal that gives them a very prominent place in the PC gaming market - either a big partnership with Epic, or just the creation of their own PC storefront. This gives them a reason to launch their exclusives day-and-date on PC, without concern for how it impacts console sales.
Well done. All I can say is well done. Takes a lot of guts to do that so I hope you get your just desserts right about now.
Regular people dont play non esports/mmo games on a computer. Who is going into walmart or going on Amazon to get fleeced on prebuilt pcs or watching 30 - hour tutorials on youtube before building their own and learn about the upkeep of a computer? Certainly not your average consumer. I really don't get posts like these unless you talking from a fanboy perspective .
That's interesting. If they're going to do this, I kind of hope they just fully make PlayStation a PC where I can play games with a mouse (like Crusader Kings, etc) but with the simplicity of a console. I've always preferred consoles to PCs anyway.
Let's see. Most of my ps friends bought the console for exclusives but don't need more than one platform.
Maybe they take their customers for granted.
The Russian leaker apparently has this to say:
I'm talking to different developers who are making something for the PlayStation 5, and they said to me that Sony warns them "keep the PC version in mind"

I'm going to keep quoting these types of posts until someone can explain to me how they get here from this announcement? Unless I'm missing something and this is indicative of some Play Anywhere type initiative, I'm failing to see how select games far removed from their retail run and no longer being actively marketed coming to PC has any effect on console hardware whatsoever.
Damn, if Sony did a MS and made all their games available on PC, in a reasonable timeframe, that would be huge.
Let's be honest. Non-Nintendo consoles since Gen 8 have become nothing more than PCs-in-a-box, and Microsoft has embraced this even further with Series X looking like an actual PC tower. The uniqueness is already a thing of the past for PS and Xbox.
Time waiting doesn´t matter to the pc crowd.
I don´t care if it´s 1 year, 2 years, or longer.
As long as it happens, i don´t need to waste 400-500 bucks on a console that serves no purpose (to me).
What if this is just Kojima Productions porting HZD as part of the deal to use the Decima engine in DS and not indicative of anything more?
Until we hear an official word it's all baseless speculation either way.
I just hope Sony is clear about the messaging here.
IE: "We plan to release our first party games consistently 3 years after they release"
Or: "HZD is a one time release and we have no plans for future PC releases of first party titles"

Right. What I'm saying is PLAYSTATION and XBOX specifically don't need to exist if this is the direction the industry is going. Sony and Microsoft can collaborate on a hardware standard and just erase the console war entirely. A generic box not controlled by either of them that plays all the games from both.
Just end it. Stop wasting our time and money on hardware that won't provide anything unique.
This will probably only happen for their multiplayer GAAS games. They won't even day and date PSNow.
Dude have you been in a PC performance thread?
Not every person has the patience to go through so many hurdles for every game sometimes
Consoles will be fucking fine
A random user on twitter. Why is being brought up here? No idea.
Congrats. You and I are the minority who can build a PC as we are enthusiasts.
someone who had a massive meltdown over MLB going multiplat, and was banned from here.
lol. I can't tell if this is sarcasm. "People don't buy games because they are good games. They buy them because they're on their favorite console."
As a PlayStation fan I'm a fan because I like the games they make, nobody else make those the way I like (very few does and they switch to other stuff after such game).
I don't buy the games because some magical component attatched to the company, it's the developers and quality.
Also I don't have a gaming PC because it's the most uncomfortable gaming platform in existence to me.
I disagree, but even if that was the case, we don't know if every exclusive will go PC, or when. HZD is years old.
The average Joe gamer isn't going to be building an RGB godtier rig...
Or locked to a monthly subscription.
Most people don't want or own a high end PC. They want a console. They aren't worthless without exclusives, 3rd party rules the roost anyway.
They don't. There's more in there than just frames and resolution.
I'm suddenly glad I never got around to this on PS4 since it got lost in the BotW wake for me.
Getting to play it on PC sounds wonderful

Agreed.
I wish the world was flat where every game was on every platform for all to enjoy.
Too bad I already played through it and the expansion on my former base ps4, but I have no doubt some it will look bananas on PC.
I dont see a standard emerging either way
They would just become another.. DELL or something
