I wonder if at some stage, PlayStation should just release its own line of prebuilt gaming PCs too. The prebuilt market needs a good shakeup and a brand with such recognition can certainly bring heat to the market the same way the OG PlayStation did to the console market.

I'm quite positively suprised by this one and I felt that it would be iffy. I'm glad that it ended up on the better side of the 'if'.

I'm very pleased to see Sony's strong commitment to the PC market through offering extensive features and options for their ports, and God of War's listed features show that Sony has definitely come a long way since the somewhat hampered launch of Horizon Zero Dawn's PC port. I definitely look forward to replaying this great game again on much more powerful hardware this time round, and experiencing it like new.

@Juanalf Don't worry not all of us have PCs of that calibre (I do of course but that's another matter ;P), but I'm glad that we've moved on from the exclusives hogging mentalities of the last generation and realize that PlayStation isn't going anywhere as a physical console for a long time yet.

Gravity Rush 2 needs it badly

The three small time criminals simply do not stand a chance against a God-killer.

Why do I get a feeling that it'll be a Director's Cut again and perhaps even announcement of a PC port.

I guess I was proven wrong in a good way so I'll gladly hold this L.

The irony is not lost on EA being the one publishing the game whose combat mechanics revolve around chance-based reward cards, but it's a truly enjoyable game whose chance-based mechanisms do not find their ways into our wallets past the upfront purchase cost, so well done and great job.

Make sure that I can see something that can't be done on the PS4 other than those in the visuals department. If a game can be downported to a weaker system through cutting back on visuals alone, then it's not utilizing the more powerful system to the fullest.

@ankehuber Not odd at all. I've in fact unwishlisted this game on my Steam account.

I'll pay for the PC port and no more, and I say this as a Collector's Edition owner.

May you find a place in Valhalla...

So Horizon as a franchise went from being a role model in an industry notorious for its anti-consumer practices to being a part of the latter in just one single instalment? Wow.

Well both have made or were making games set in Seattle so why not?

I understand that some people may feel a bit put off by NetEase which is a sentiment I would have shared just 2-3 years ago, but plenty of things have changed and if you think that NE is still in the mindset of getting fast bucks through making mtx-laden mobile trash, then I can assure you that you're very wrong. NetEase does not need to hire someone like Nagoshi to make mobile games, nor would Nagoshi sign up to employment contracts without good ideas being proposed either, however lucrative the terms may be themselves. Both Tencent and NetEase are now entering the core, higher production value end of the gaming market and acquisition of established foreign talents are a big part of that. If anything, this is in turn but a small part of the overall trend in China where exceptionally talented foreigners are being poached to lead development of entire areas of expertise from scratch, be it AAA game development, Olympic sports that China's not known to be good at, or semiconductors. Someone like Nagoshi most certainly won't be hired for trivial projects that are solely aimed at quick bucks.

Basically similar to giving 'A New Hope' the Episode number then.

All those fanboys who want to put down this game because it somehow takes away from Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart (spoiler alert: it doesn't) should take an L now.

What if it's Donkey Kong?

I want more aircrafts from other parts of our world too.

I feel like it's just going to be 2022 at this rate. No way in hell will Sony release this game in the crowded fall season.

@nessisonett If anything I see this as an attempt to get the casual mobile and PC players in China to buy PS5s. Unlike many other games Horizon has been given the green light by the censors so Sony will likely use this to its maximum advantage.

East Asia as a whole unfortunately has been swamped by mobile gaming and that's why the Switch is doing so much better. I basically have to pretty much re-educate my boyfriend away from it.

I fear for the Nintendoization of PlayStation when comes to brand-fanbase market interactions at the rate things are going.

I honestly won't speculate too much. When it's done it'll be done and everything will just change accordingly.

Not a big fan of console makers taking over more studios in general but given Housemarque's long history of association with the platform as well as MicroSoft's aggressive acquisitions I'm calling it good move on Sony's part.

RIP ya a new one Ratchet and Rivet, but I think this is still a very good record.

Also, well done to AC Valhalla for being in this chart this long after release.

@Ralizah You may be pleased to know that the GPU prices are coming down a bit.

As for the main news, I'm ready to take it either way. My Steam backlog is still huge.

@Solidocelot Oh boo hoo hoo American it must suck ass when capitalism doesn't always work in your favour eh? Agreed about Russia being a stale enemy though, and besides they are our friends so I don't wanna fight them even in video games.

Looking forward to be part of the half again...

I'm stoked for the new exploration mechanics, and I hope they'll work perfects with the haptic feedback.

I bought the collector's edition of this game on day one 5 years ago and I look forward to playing it all over again on PC. Horizon already felt like a totally different game on PC so I'm very much stoked for this.

Extended gameplay look is always good

@Orpheus79V Yes I actually look forward to a PC port of Gravity Rush 2 the most. I've played the game on the PS4 Pro and some technical issues were quite glaring.

I can't really think of that many first party PlayStation games that have so many DLCs. My gut feelings tell me that the upcoming releases will be the non-core PS4 exclusives like those from Japan Studio.

So a sequel to E3 2010? Sign me up.

I was gifted the Deluxe Edition on Steam by a good Twitter friend of mine.

Definitely the best ever launch year for a PlayStation console, if first party output is the main criterion as otherwise the PS2 is still arguably a strong contender.

Awesome, looks like all that are left now between me and getting the PS5 will be its official local release here on the 15th and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart to come out on the 11th of June. This is definitely the strongest launch year for a PlayStation console yet.

Ah when Bus Route Number 38 still used the old Routemaster. Good times*.

*Personally though I feel more connected to the accordion buses.

@True_Jehuty Same. It had alot of Uncharted 2 vibes while introducing other gameplay mechanics and blending them well with those traditionally associated with the UC franchise.

Well more time to complete the base game then I guess

Console storefronts should learn from Steam's price localization in order to get decent sales and exposure in the markets where purchase powers aren't strong. Mario and Zelda would have been unknown in Asia if not for the Famiclones and bootleg cartridges.

@Medic_Alert The sports games you mentioned are very important: most of us in the core fanbases tend to assume that an average PlayStation owner is one who buys up all the exclusives and the big AAA multiplats, but the truth of the matter is that many home console owners only buy them to play the latest sports games or CoD, and GamePass which will allow them to play all of these for a small monthly sum while accessing all the latest entries of these sports franchises will entice them hugely.

Great news!
Greatness has returned for the series. I hope Rift Apart keeps up with this tradition.

As a PC main these days, I very much welcome this development in console gaming, and may it stay from now on.

I'll probably get it when the new Ratchet and Clank and perhaps even Horizon Forbidden West are out. Right now my PC will handle everything.

@Ralizah Agreed. I'm also hoping that we can at least get a PS5 patch for the game or even a PC port for the game(s) to prolong the franchise's life, but I guess that's all wishful thinking now.

Wait are there 6% of us who actually have issues with being able to SAVE 400/500 bucks instead of having to spend them?

And a few days after release, mods on:

• Nude Deacon St John
• Bernie Sanders as Deacon
• Bike replaced by Thomas the Tank Engine
  ... the list goes on
