When have we heard this before? I'm sure this and the Horizon Multiplayer game(s?) will do well enough. What happened to Fair games, or whatever it was called?
Yeah, if these port were selling millions on PC, it'd arguably be worth the expense and controversy from console fans. For these tiny numbers, what's the point? Especially as releasing day-and-date is out of the question.
@MrPeanutbutterz It definitely has a similar feel to TLOU, but 'poor knock off' seems extremely unfair to me. I enjoyed it more than TLOU in some cases.
@Hyena_socks I'm not the most perceptive person ever, what examples of poor actions in the TV show stood out for you? Do you mean main characters or minor ones?
TBH, if those Sony pc games aren't selling enough to a) offset porting costs and b) offset any 'damage' to the PS brand/exclusivity then they shouldn't bother.
I get that Sony are probably freaking out over the memory price hike, the fact that fewer and fewer people are playing video games instead of smartphone stuff and that an increasing percentage of that video game time is taken up by live services. But how does shutting BP games help?! You'd think a relatively cheap remake studio would be a reliable pillar to keep doing what it does best in the background.
Oh God, I'm bracing for the usual 'It'll certainly cost at least $800, and that's not a problem as everyone buys a new iPhone each year!' comments. IMO, it'll cost $100 more then the PS5 does, now.
I think it's fine. Xbox did the 3rd party thing because they were doing badly, not the other way round! I'm a PS fan and I wouldn't mind if Sony released their first party games to Xbox and Switch 2 after say 3 years.
@Northern_munkey Yes. I add everything I want on my wishlist. Wait for a big sale and but the 4 most heavily discounted things on there. Rinse and repeat.
Wouldn't a better compromise just have been for dialogue choices to slightly change the PC's personality and relationships rather than change major story beats?
The other thing I want to add, is will first party PS4 games ever look dated to the casual gamer? I don't think so. GTA 5 dates from 2014, and looks much closer to games now than a 2004 game would look to 2014. As so on ever 20 years etc.
The absolute key is Sony (or many publishers) not wanting to show games too early. Why do people want to know about something they won't see for 2+ years, anyway? We know about Ghost of Yotei and DS2 already. The most information we'll get now before late this year is more info about those two games.

Re: Why Is Everyone Acting So Weird About PS5 Game Mixtape?
I really thought we'd left this discourse behind years ago. Refering to story driven games as not a real game isn't clever.

Re: These Numbers Explain Why Sony Is Stopping Porting PS5 Games to PC

@carlos82 I guess we need to see if the tariffs, RAM shortages and oil upheaval are still a problem in 2-3 years time.

This is why I scoff when people say 'physical is best because it isn't reliant on servers'. Yes it is.

Re: Failing FPS Highguard's Concord Arc Seems Almost Complete as Website Goes Down
@Boxmonkey We've basically got only Marathon, Fair games and that Horizon game left, now. TBH, I can't imagine all them succeeding.

It's sold pretty well and probably didn't cost much to make. Debatable if they'll manage the same thing twice though.

Re: Rumour: PS6 Handheld Device Can Be Docked Like Nintendo Switch 2
@Robocod I think the cross gen period will be at least 4 years. Especially if the portable version of the PS6 is similar to a PS5 in power.
Re: Rumour: PS6 Handheld Device Can Be Docked Like Nintendo Switch 2
So Nintendo have a hybrid version and portable-only version, and Sony will have a hybrid version and a console-only version?

Re: PS5 Fans Divided Over Helldivers 2 on Xbox Pivot
@truerbluer I don't get your logic. How is that reducing the amount of PS5 games being made?
