Bogus Leak Dupes Web with Purported PS4 to PC Ports

I think sony don't release all exclusive game on pc

Free the Games! (AND the Whales)

I just bought a nice PC recently and so I wouldn't mind if more PS exclusives came to it since I really do love there games.
Though I think it'll be better if it takes a few years after they come out on consoles before porting it over to PC else the FB will be throwing tantrums.

I don't understand really why PC gamers want the PS exclusives so much, it's not like there aren't any games to play on the platform.

Can understand Sony generating a new revenue stream by effectively recycling 2-3 year old games that have probably reached their sales capacity in Playstation.
I don't think Ghost of Tsushima will be ported for a while though.

Some of ps4 games will come to pc but there's no way all of them will come at once, sony still need to sell ps5. Maybe after the games in question priced about $20 or free on psplus / psplus collection like horizon zd and days gone.

PS Now is already on PC so if they have enough native ports then they can start building up a Game Pass competitor on the platform.

@nessisonett I was going to say the same, any game that is over 2 years old should be part of the PS Now service permanently help it be Sony's game pass. I got a month to play Little Nightmares (which has since gone on sale ffs) and there's been a few games I've played since then as well, there not all winners but there's a great selection of downloadable games on there.

@Futureshark They want to play as many games as possible on their preferred platform. Same reason port-begging is a thing on consoles. Same reason, I imagine, a lot of PS4 owners have waited to play a game like Disco Elysium on consoles.

Seriously starting to think we should make a Twitter account for "leaks" and see how far it goes. It's crazy that this happens over and over and over again.

Give it a year or two and most of the above games will be on PC and there's nothing we can do about it.

@Futureshark if ghosts gets ported maybe we'll see a sequel announcement for ps5 for it as well. so if thats true then i'll be happy.

i think they'll eventually be true , and most of those games have sequels coming , meaning it could also unintentionally leak a sequel for ghosts , uncharted , so would that also mean a new bloodborne is coming as well?

Sony games will always come to PS first , give it a couple of years then make them avalible on PC .win win for eveyone.
Love to relpay updated unchated games on my PC.

@Futureshark Because as much as I love Bloodborne, I'd rather play it at 144fps with proper frame pacing. That's why PC users want these games porting; I've played them all already on my PS4 but I'd rather have a better experience. Plus, Sony get to have my money twice. How is that not an enticing prospect?

I expect every single one of those to end up on PC by the end of the year or if you want to be generous by next year. Playstation is going the Xbox route and there's nothing anyone can do unfortunately, money always comes first 🤷

I don’t know why Sony don’t just say all games will come to PC, but only after 3 1/2 years. That’ll mean most people who are interested in a game will not want to wait, but might double dip after that long.

I'm sure every exclussive that was on PS4 will make the jump over time, but not extremely fast.

They need to give every release a bit of time to shine, if they release all the things at once they just end up competing with each other.

I would expect 3 titles to be ported per year, maybe 4 a year of they decide to get aggressive at catching up and monetizing the back catalog faster. Collections like the Uncharted one to count as one.

@thefourfoldroot Except that Days Gone is being ported next, and will only be two years old when it is. So no, it's clearly not always going to be 3 1/2 years. In fact, I expect that window to only continue to shrink, which is why I find it quite interesting that Ghost of Tsushima is listed here, being the only game that isn't at least three years old.

I don't understand why Sony doesn't leverage the power and backwards compatibility of PS5 to enhance their exclusives instead of focusing on porting games to PC.

They're completely undermining PS5's backwards compatibility by making these PC ports. The backwards compatibility alone would have breathed new life into PS4 game sales, especially for those who missed out on PS4 exclusives because they were too snobbish to play them on PS4 frame rates and resolutions. That way they would still get 100% of sales revenue (on PS Store) and retain players on their ecosystem instead of splitting it 70/30 with Valve or 88/12 with Epic for one-time purchases.

Imagine if Guerrilla had spent time optimising Horizon for PS5 instead of wasting months patching the PC Port. That would have enticed so many more people to get a PS5 coupled with the sequel announcement.

Instead these PC ports are just going to condition them to hold out for a few years to get the game delivered to them on a silver platter. And with confirmation that Horizon Forbidden West is being developed for both PS4 and PS5 (another awful decision), it practically guarantees that it will come to PC too (since the game by design can't take advantage of PS5's bespoke hardware), so no need for a PS5!

I've said that I don't mind their C-tier games going to PC, but if prestigious exclusives start getting ports, people's desire to own PlayStation hardware will plummet and will ultimately have a knock on effect on 1st party game development. For example, designing games to work for lower end PCs to maximise sales and ignoring the bespoke strengths of PlayStation hardware (SSD etc) or including MTX for continual revenue from otherwise one-time sales on platforms not their own; Steam, Epic etc.

Makes sense to release most if not all PS4 exclusives on PC, if they sell well that money can be used to invest in new games, it's a win win situation. I already have Horizon Zero Dawn on PC after completing it on PS4 and I would buy more of them too.

I just don't get why so many Playstation fans are so precious about these exclusives, I've been playing on them since the PS1 and only a very small percentage of the games I've played were Sony's exclusives, with that number being tiny until the latter PS3 days

@art_of_the_kill
I think you misunderstood, when I said “ I don’t know why Sony don’t just[...]” that wasn’t to imply that this is their plan, just that I consider such a statement and clear rule as a useful thing to articulate. Whether the rule is 3 years or 2 years, or whatever, is irrelevant.

@deathaxe I was gonna say, what pub is still open? 😄

@wiiware Yeah you say that but look at what Microsoft said when they said "Not all exclusives are going on PC."

bring me the fall of man trilogy to pc dang it
all on gog 😎

I don't think all of the games will be on pc which how it should be. Bloodborne will be great to have on pc because we hardly play on the ps4 now days.

@ShogunRok Do it. If you can embarrass IGN power to you. It would be a good statement and experiment lol.

Once Steve Jobs said Microsoft products don't have any soul. Sony is getting closer and closer to a soulless and generic company by doing this.

If people know that eventually PlayStation exclusives will no longer be exclusive, there is no reason to buy a PS5. People will just wait.

I’m not sure how well their other games sell, but didn’t I hear that Horizon sold horribly on PC? And the port was supposed of pretty poor quality. I guess we’ll know how well they sell if we keep seeing PC ports, that must mean they’re making some money.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.

@Nepp67 Microsoft already gave up on competing on hardware with sony and nintendo, so it's the only way for them, while many people still want ps hardware so sony won't port all of their games to pc, they still want people buy ps hardware.

@KippDynamite no they won't. People could simply wait a few weeks to get significant discounts for their games, yet first week sales are in the millions. You really don't understand how the average consumer thinks or acts.

Nathan Drake Collection and TLOU Remaster can come to PC as a bundle. So can Killzone Shadowfall and inFamous Second Son.
These are old games and will sell well on PC.

Fun Fact! Gamesrader is a sentient windows 95 virus

@naruball
Every console that has stopped producing exclusives has eventually gone out of business.

@KippDynamite who said anything about not making exclusive games? They still do. They are exclusive for several years. But gamers are impatient. It's clear as day.

why didn't they get DriveClub ported years ago to PC, and possibly save Evolution Studios from the chop, if all this new revenue stream is going to be reinvested in PS games (which i doubt)?. HZD sold 10-11m on PS4.. does anybody really think it needed more revenue for sony to greenlight a sequel?. all it's done is waste guerrilla resources on nothing that benefits PS4/5 gamers.. it hasn't even bothered to put minimal resource on updating it for PS5.

Bloodborne for PC means Bloodborne for PS5 means Bloodborne at 60fps and that´s a YES in my book.

Bookmark this article, folks.

No.

Seriously.

Bookmark it.

@carlos82 Bragging rights, nothing more.

@thefourfoldroot..... But it means a shed lot more people will hold out for the 3 and half years, I mean what do you gain by paying $70 now as opposed to $5 - $20 with all bells and whistles in 3 years time. I mean anyone playing HZD on PC for the first time today is getting the same experience as people who played it for the first time in 2017, only different is that the 2017 people made Sony rich by buying the Ps4, buying the game and subscribing to PS+, PS Now. The 2020 people don't need to give Sony a thing, heck they can even get the game for free via pirating.

There is some guy on this comments section who mentioned that for the Ps4 install base, the 1st party games are not selling much and his comment now sounds truer than ever.

It's like Sony are saying we're are not buying enough copies of the blockbuster 1st party releases.

I can bet you that if HZD, Days Gone or a majority of Sony 1st party games were selling 40-60 million copies per release then we would not been having a this discussion.
