The wording of his reasoning, aside from being plain corporate BS, is clearly general, refers to all other platforms, not PC specifically.

Anyway, the gist of it was already implied by the lack of PC ports for some older PS exclusive games like Demon's Sous, Bloodborne, Astro's Playroom etc, even though ALL of their other exclusives already have one.
They're clearly very particular about what's ported and where, and some of their IP's Sony won't share with any other platform.
Not yet anyway.
My guess is that, like any big corporation, if, at any point in the future, they consider there's more money to be made by making ports to other consoles (and/or PC for those that don't have one), they'll come back and revise this strategy like that 🫰
Money talks first and foremost, no matter what BS they declare in their statements.

My first SH game all those years ago was SH2, which I still consider the best in the series... for now.
Never played SH1 actually... Played all of the other games in the series, but never the first.
Now that they Remake it, I'll certainly give it a go

I saw now that it's rather short, 3-5h campaign with 6-11h tops for completionists. Most likely Bloober will prolong that by a few hours with extra content.
This also means it won't take too long to develop, especially considering that after SH2-R they have quite an experience. 2026 release maybe?

I hope they manage to bring back SH Origins someday too - another one I enjoyed a lot on the PS2, it's actually on 2nd place after SH2 for me.

Dream package, yeah, right... glorified "resurrection of corpses" is more adequate.
A collection of already released games and materials, all dusted up, with some online code on the side, and sold as new, mainly to boost sales for their new fighting stick.

I love those games, especially the arcade versions. But releasing them with no improvements, at least to offer some remastered graphics options, it's just another quick buck maneuver... not for me.

Spent 90% of it reading other news, that's how I rate it...

Forza Horizon 5 is officially one of the biggest PS5 games on the planet
A new level of low for PS first party games...

Expect nothing major, you won't be disappointed

It's not gameplay actually - only a tech demo, as confirmed by the devs recently.
And only confirms firm suspicions that this is not real
The OG PS5 can't pull something like this off... A plague tale Requiem, and Dragon's Dogma 2 both run at 30FPS with RT on, and they don't really have the graphics shown here.
CDPR may be talented, but there's only so much one can do with hardware that will be 6-7 years old by the time the final game launches.

Because it worked out so well for God of War: Betrayal back in the day...

Actually never played FH5.
But as it happens, after a few days of info gathering, I took the plunge and ordered a small racing rig yesterday, based on Moza's ecosystem (Moza R12 V2 wheel base plus their CS-V2P wheel, CRP2 pedals and HGP shifter - all mounted on a Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0).

Initially it was supposed to be for my son and I, but last night my wife was curious to see a game where you can drive freely (not necessarily compete), open world as it were.
So I showed her the above video.
Now she's interested too - and she's not even a gamer!

Hope they'll all arrive by this weekend, we're looking forward to give it a go!

Some fun discounts among them too:

• from 10$ to 9.99$ (Playasia) ... strongest of them all 💪
• from 29.99$ to 49.97$ ... o__O falling upwards? (Amazon - the Remote section of the article)

When From launches it's next single player Miyazaki directed game in the genre, I'll be there day one.
I love Elden Ring, but this mp spinoff is not for me.

Ah, so if we want PS discounts in Europe, we should play more PC and mobile games.
Ok, noted.

Rainy cold weekend outside, no fun to be had.
So indoor activities it is.

Started Blades of fire, good game.

Going through it, it also reminded me of the PS3 era... so ended up getting my phat PS3 out to see the... well, rain... again, and got into some God of War and Infamous goodness!

In the interim I'm also helping my son with some puzzles in The witness on the PS5.

Have a fun weekend everyone!

Console discounts after they increased their prices just a few weeks back, eh? Eph off Sony...
Btw though - wasn't there a law against fake promotions?

Think it's time they do a new IP...

And from the 4 that will actually amount some interest, 3 will be somewhat notable, Title 2 but mostly 1.

Not worth it at launch price.
Maybe when it's gonna be a PS+ monthly game.
Or offered as a free "mystery game" in Epic Store around next year.

Since it's on Game Pass, I'll give it a go.
Played the SP campaigns from Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, and had a good time.

I'm skeptical about AAA games for less than standard launch price, usually they end up missing of botching some parts.
Wait for reviews on this one.

'murrica, Bucks, Babes, Booze and Cars... they make the world keep spinin' and the life worth livin'.

Not for me...

#Endure and survive

I don't see the point of preordering so far in advance... aside from the possibility of delays, you get your money trapped.
As for the 80$... the offered extra content doesn't really merit the extra 10$, but if one wants to supports the devs, that's one way to do it.

Was a good ep for Day 1, but... no "F..k FEDRA" gate, and no "Sic parvis magna" ring... too bad.

This weekend it's No Rest For The Wicked, "gamely" and figuratively.
Have a fun time everyone!

I don't give a shtuff about the delay, but methinks the devs and pubs releasing games this year are ecstatic about it.
Also, i bet it's only the first delay... I don't envy their job and all that it entails.

This spinoff is a niche in a "not so easy to get into" genre, From's expectations should match it.

All other publishers releasing games this year can resume breathing.

At this rate, the PS6 will cross 1000$...

Loved the first Borderlands, finished it multiple times, in Coop and Single Player, it's 4 DLC's too.
But Borderlands 2 was a huge disappointment to me at least. Stuck with it for 20-30 hours, tried to like it, held up the hope it was gonna get better later on... But the changes they made to the game play rendered it overall far less enjoyable than the first title, so I gave it up.
Borderlands 3 only dug the hole deeper, played it for 3-4 hours and quit out of boredom.
Unless Borderlands 4 gets stellar reviews, I'm not gonna spend a dime on it.

Borderlands 4 gets a full State of Play, while Sony's 1st party titles barely get a trailer or a dry post on X... makes me so proud to own a PS5!

Don't like the price - don't buy it.
Plenty of other games to play.

Started Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - never played the OG game and I decided to forgo any prior study (as I usually do for RPG or Soulslike games) and just threw myself in the pile.

Just 2 things about it I wanna mention

First: after finishing the start-up portion and finally seeing sunlight, the whole scenery felt like the start of Elden Ring.
It was so similar I was even expecting the carnage to begin with the first enemy encounter (Carbot Animations "So I tried Elden Ring" - the first video of their parody series on YT - watch it, it's fun!).

Second: about 6 hours into the game I started wondering why I'm not leveling up. It's already been 5-6 ingame days, finished quite a few quests, slain a lot of enemies, I'm gaining XP and various bonuses, but I'm still at level 1.
Looked it up and it seems that I have to actually put my character to sleep in order to level up o_O !!
Well... I never did... that🤦Didn't expect it to be required, since there was no downside to staying awake, like in other games...
Much to learn about this game it seems ^_^

Alright, going back to it.
Have a fun weekend everyone!

Check out on the differences from the OG game, and make a quick mini-review - those interested will be pleased, and to the rest it won't matter either/or.

Lost me at turn based combat...

7 from me, doesn't really measure up to the hype.
As an "Indiana Jones simulator" and from a graphical p.o.v. it's thumbs up, but as a game it's not as good as expected.

Never played the original, will give the Remaster a try at some point, since it's on Game Pass.
For now I'm enjoying my first playthrough in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, so maybe after it.

Shadow drop could also mean half-bake and quick buck.
Hope it's not, but risk is high.
We'll see soon enough.

If (IF) il launches next week, with near zero marketing, then it's a low investment / low score Remake, and they already know it, hence the decision to go under the radar.

But my money's on this chap's statement being false.
We have enough low quality games to go around as it is, they must/will abstain from adding to the steaming pile of ...

It's a split this weekend.
Helping my 6y old son with some of the more complicated puzzles of Talos Principle Reawakened on PS5 (the rest he solves by himself).
And continuing my trek through The Last Of Us Part 2 Remastered (on PC), in preparation for the Season 2 that's about to launch.
Have a fun weekend everyone!

@get2sammyb
You should add the Trophies that can be obtained throughout the story, directly inside the walk-through.
It's a nifty QOL feature I found very useful in other guides.
Prevents having to follow 2 guides, or risk losing a trophy/having to replay a portion of a chapter because you accidentally went too far ahead without realizing (especially in a quasi-linear game like this).

This is becoming like an "Employee of the month" monthly award?

It would be nice to be able to make some bets along the way with points, and some rewards (avatars maybe, or make a winner list with the top 3 in the last 3 months and temporarily add it in a "Hall of fame" panel on the main page, posted for the next 3 months, etc).

Playing The last of Us Part 2 for the 3rd time (since launch), but on PC this time - for the achievements, and to brush up on the events for the upcoming Season 2 of the show.
Have a fun weekend everyone!

Exactly the results one would expect from running this poll on a PS dedicated site.

Only play on launch day if you can pay for 1 month of a subscription that offers it (game pass, ubisoft+) - cheapest way to go about it.
Or if you already have such subscription active for a longer period, ofc.
Or you manage get your title at a lower price on a cd key site (mostly valid for pc versions, though...).

Otherwise, be smart and wait for discounts.
A lot of titles get 40-50% off after 6-9 months, some even earlier, especially triple R games (remakes, remasters, reboots).

With so many games around nowadays, surely you have a hefty backlog formed up, and you can get into that while you wait for price drops.

Should I mention 90% of titles launch with bugs, and only get corrected after months of patches? One more reason to wait.

Simply put nothing to see here... for now.
Most of Switch 2's internal hardware is yet unknown.

The LED screen is the biggest letdown. Unless it has, at the very least, excellent local dimming, brightness, color and contrast, i'm not interested. And I bet it won't have, they chose to go cheaper on the panel otherwise it would have been OLED from the start.
Maybe I'll consider it if they refresh it with an OLED version after a few years.... maybe.

Love the games, and the show, so I've decided to start some prepping.
Finished Part 1 on PC a few days ago, now I'm (re)watching Season 1.
Already preordered TLoU Part 2 for PC (launching Thursday 3rd), gonna have 10 days to finish it. Wanna have it fresh in my mind going into Season 2.

About Bella - before Season 1 I was also reticent to accept her as Ellie by looks differences alone compared to the game character. But after watching the show that changed, she manages to capture her spirit so well, that she fits the role exemplary.
Her age is not an issue as far as I'm concerned, lots of people don't look their age in either direction, so I'm ok with it.

Got both parts on PS4, and now that Part 2 releases on PC, I got both parts on Steam in order to get the achievements.
But that's as far as I go for those 2 games.

As long as they keep a tight quality control over their IP's, so they don't end up a mockery in another studio's hands, I've got no problem with Sony licensing them.

In July like Tsushima.
