Helpful guide, for sure. I'm still waiting DF to show the base PS5 console running this thing AND ONLY THEN I'll start watching reviews about the game and such

I heard they implemented Denuvo on the PC version of this game lol

@cainhurst94 so i have no clue about what the ***** is going on. What a mess

@johnedwin if Microsoft did pay them then this would be quite ironic, since Square Greedy themselves said they were going to follow a multiplatform strategy since last year, so they're either hypocrites or there's something else going on between them and Sony. Something tells me is the latter, but who knows

@Gemini53 it was Square Enix who said "we're gonna follow a multiplatform release strategy from now on", not Sony, and one has a platform and brand to protect, while the other only deals with software. Totally different cases

Wow, seriously? lol I've said here many times that Square was a greedy company and that i haven't bought anything from them since 2024 because they were keeping Bravely Default locked on PC and Switch. Guess I'll keep skipping their *****, not that is difficult, they don't have anything interesting to play since FF7 Rebirth and i already own both BD games on my 2DS and the second one on PC

Yes yes yes!!! Let's gooooo

PC people folks will be fine. They have...(checks Steamdb) Dota 2, CS2 and PUBG to play. Oh, and they have Slay The Spire 2 as well, a nice game (genuinely speaking now)

@PuppetMaster i had to report this user multiple times in the past because they were attacking the Push Square staff, while trashing Playstation. I'd recommend to just put them on ignore

@PercyChuggs roguelite (not roguelike, because there's meta progression here that doesn't reset every time you die) is what makes these games almost infinitely replayable and dynamic. With gameplay mechanics so good that both Returnal and Saros have, people will want more reasons to go back to the game time and time again. I'm glad they went with this route once again and after a while it's really easy to memorize most of these rooms' layouts

I don't see Xbox coming in 2027 at all, same goes for PS6. That's why i said before and I'll say it again: i don't listen to anything that youtubers and forum users have to say

Wish i could try it, but i have no one to play with and no PS Plus, and to be fair, I'm not fond of playing co-op with other folks other than my friend (who doesn't own a PS5), but it's good to see that SP is supporting this awesome game. Hopefully they'll release a single player DLC in the future too

Still gonna come back to this game and try NG+ soon. GoY is so so good

Not gonna buy yet, if at all. I need to know if this thing is fun and if the performance on base PS5 is decent. I'm in no rush

Keep 'em coming!! Always nice to have more cars and free stuff

I'll be taking a trip. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with a few announcements here

I own the first one, though i never played it (it's in my backlog). I did enjoy Steelrising, so I'll give them a chance and get this one when it's on sale (and if performance is as good as their last games on PS5)

Ray Tracing is the most useless thing I've ever seen in my +30 years as a gamer. The moment i start a game and i have the chance to turn it off, i do it so i can save on performance. I used to do the same on PC as well

Square Enix at the bottom doesn't surprise me at all. I'm not buying anything from them (published or developed) since 2024. People working for them should just jump ship and look for work in a better place.

So the plan might still be the plan, after all. We'll have to wait and see if the plan is indeed the same plan as before

Looks like it's not only their cult-like fanbase that are bullying people that criticizes their game, they're doing the same with small artists lol

@Drago201 lol i don't pay rent, but i live in Brazil, and here things are REALLY expensive, so there's that

I'm good with my base PS5. Gotta start saving some money for whenever PS6 comes out

Meh, I'll stick to Palworld

Far fetched hopium here. I really want DDS1&2 on PS5 but i don't think this is any indication of that. Maybe I'm more pessimistic, i dunno. Doesn't matter, though, i still own these games on my PS3

I was obsessed with Returnal. Played +50h on Steam, game wasn't running very well on PC so i bought a PS5 and then played +100h there and got the Platinum. Pre-ordered this one last Friday and i can't wait to COME BACK STRONGER

Returnal still is, in my opinion, the best PS5 game until now. Let's see if Saros can take its spot

I'll definitely give this game a go in the future. I just pre-ordered Saros so I'm kinda out of money right now, but maybe I'll buy it next month. With Sony supporting PS5 more and more and actually trying out new and smaller projects like this, I'd gladly support them back, even though the game is a bit expensive

I've learned a valuable lesson in these last few days: don't waste time discussing with PC people. Someone on Steam told me i was advocating for "brain rot" market strategy, and the same person said i was being hostage of Sony's shareholders, while also at the same time he was questioning "WHY SAROS WON'T BE ON PC, SO MORE PEOPLE CAN PLAY?", because apparently this guy also wants to give his money to the oh so cruel and greedy shareholder that are keeping me hostage, even though it was my decision to buy a PS5 back in January 2024, where a bunch of PS ports were already hitting PC and i was at the time playing only on PC...? ***** this, man, i wanna play my games on my console and have fun instead of wasting more time with these people

I pre-ordered Saros Friday and i can't wait to play it on May.

@Rich33 really? Well, I'm still hesitant about buying new hardware but i might give it a go (if i have the money when the console is out), who knows. The earlier, the better. Thanks for letting me know about your experience, btw

@KundaliniRising333 "You are absolutely not losing anything by porting to pc a year later"

Yes, they are. What's keeping someone from going full-PC if Sony keeps putting all of their games on PC? On PC, games are cheaper, on PC you can play online free, and on PC you'll have all Xbox and Playstation games. The thing that you people seem to not understand is that Sony needs users on their ecosystem so they can keep spending money there, not elsewhere. Someone who buys 2-3 Playstation ports on PC and buy everything else on PC as well isn't giving Sony a lot of money, are they?

You're acting as if someone with a PS5 can't just switch over and focus on another platform (your case) or that people that are thinking about buying either a console or PC doesn't exist, but they do and they will definitely think carefully when they have to decide between getting a PC or a PS5/PS6, especially if these ports keep coming to PC. I would definitely go back to PC if Sony kept putting their games on it, since i can save a lot of money by getting cheaper games there, and I'm pretty sure other folks think the same and that's the big reason why Sony is rethinking their strategy. No use to earn some money with PC ports when you're at risk of slowly losing your userbase. They have to protect their brand. People on PC wanting Sony games on their platform isn't something that Sony should even care about because they're not the ones keeping Playstation afloat

More people on PC means less 30% cut from 3rd party software sales, DLCs and microtransactions and less PS Plus subs. Sony loses a lot of money and I'm sure they crunched the numbers and they know what's going on

PC sales were barely moving the needle, while these Playstation games sell like crazy on Sony's console. They made the obvious choice

One thing you're right, though: no way in hell PC folks will buy a PS5 just to play 1-2 games, regardless of the whole PC port situation. This is a big laughable mistake that Shawn Layden made back when he decided to go this route

Sony shouldn't really be worried about the next Xbox, especially if their machine gets quite expensive (which apparently will). I know I won't be getting their next box, I'll go full PS next gen again, and even if they put PS6 out in 2027, I'll probably buy one in 2029 (gotta wait the first few batches of hardware because a lot of times they're not 100% decent)

@Perturbator you can read reviews on PS Store website now, made by users that own the game. Hopefully this will be available on PS App in the future as well

Definitely gonna buy this one. This and Avowed will be 100% guaranteed purchase for me

This game is awesome. Can't wait to play the sequel on my PS5

Plans can change at any time so i won't take his word into consideration

GOTY 2026 here. Let's gooooooo

@Questionable_Duck I'm almost 100% certain that Helldivers 2 contributed the most, but regardless, we indeed have to wait and see when the PS6 will be out and what kind of games, experience and price Sony will offer to its users. I still think it will be difficult for them to go back and put every game on PC if they're really concerned about their brand, and since their live service games and 3rd party console exclusives will be on PC, they technically are still supporting the platform

Anyway, we gotta wait to see what will happen in the next few years

@Questionable_Duck 2 billions from 2022 to 2025 isn't that good compared to what they sell on their own platform, thought, especially when most of this money came from just one game (Helldivers 2). I'm pretty sure Sony strategy is that they want people buying games on their platform, even if console sales stagnates (which it won't yet because GTA VI is coming out this year). They need people buying games (including 3rd party ones), DLCs and whatnot on Playstation, because they get a good amount of % from these purchases, and they also profit with every user that pays for PS Plus to play online. Software sales are more important than hardware sales because they're sold at a loss, even though PS5 isn't being sold at a loss anymore, but they make way more money with the other stuff

Obviously selling hardware is important, but they're focusing more on user spending money on their platform. Sony's last earnings call pretty much said that, and i think this is the main reason why they're backing off from PC. Not giving users any reason to go to PC or Xbox = not giving more money to Microsoft or Valve or Epic, and most importantly: giving more money to Sony

And since now we're having a RAM crisis, which can affect when the next PS6 is out (they're planning on subsidizing PS6, like they always do, and that's impossible right now) each user that Sony can keep on their system is a good thing to them

@Questionable_Duck that doesn't make any sense. The PC ports are clearly not selling how they're supposed to (as expected), so stopping with these ports are barely doing anything negative to Sony's finance, so there's no reason to go back too

Not my thing (i rarely play anything online in any capacity), but I'm rooting for Bungie and Sony

That's the Sony i know. I really hope they go the Nintendo route and never look back.

Sammy boy said everything that needed to be said. I've read a lot of angry (and funny) tweets today and I'm pretty sure things are even worse on Steam forums. I think overall Sony is doing a good thing. I've complained and criticized them here for a long time, to the point where i was really thinking about jumping to PC next gen, not anymore.

But let's make something quite clear here: this whole strategy was Shawn Layden's idea, and he clearly stated that their plan at the time was to bring PC players to PS4/PS5 by showing them what Playstation is capable of with a few PC ports here and there. This is the kind of idea that your 50 year old uncle who never played videogames would have. No way in hell PC players would spend money to buy a weaker hardware just to play 3-5 games

This is scary because it shows how much a few ignorant people can shift the direction of a company for worse. I'm almost 100% sure that this new strategy came from Japan, so no praise here to Hermen Hulst. He still has to go lol

@PuppetMaster i don't really understand how insufferable some PC gamers are. They're so full of themselves. There were a lot of people mocking most of Playstation future games, saying that these games would be on PC too. I think they deserve to be mocked back now. I prefer Xbox and Nintendo fanboys pissing me off than PC elitists pissing me off

@Porco oh, yes, for sure, no doubt about it. I was talking about PS5 "life cycle" before PS6 comes out, but I'm pretty sure PS5 will last as long as PS4, or even more

I did everything i could with Returnal, even got the Platinum trophy. I'm hungry for more, and after the wonderful news today I'm definitely picking this up soon

@Carnage you definitely should play Returnal's DLC. It's really damn good

@lazarus11 haha I'm genuinely interested in this game. Might as well give it a try when it's on sale. I'm enjoying Grounded so much (also made by Obsidian) that I'm willing to give them a chance with this one 😆

The world is healing. But seriously, reading this news makes me want to buy Saros and Sons of Sparta way before i planned because:

They seem really damn fun games

I really want to support Sony, by showing them that they don't need to put these games on PC anymore (don't care about the live service games and never will)

There's so many reasons to enjoy being a PS5 gamer now

PS5 will last until 2028-2029? That's great

Games like Kingdom Come Deliverance and Divinity 2 having a native PS5 port only makes me enjoy gaming on console more and more, and let's not forget ports of amazing games like South of Midnight and Avowed coming to PS5

Wolverine, GTA VI and Saros this year? Damn, 2026 will be a fun year for us, PS5 bros

@Ogbert aaaaah now i understand! Thank you so much for explaining to me, it makes sense lol

I'm keeping an eye on this game. Good to know this is going to be out soon. Didn't understand the bit about the other two dates, maybe because I'm from Brazil, i don't know

If physical media was cheaper in Brazil, I'd always get them, i prefer physical over digital and sometimes it does get cheaper than digital (I've bought Ghost of Yotei on sale thanks to Black Friday last year and the game never went on sale on PSN)

@AtlasLivesAgain i still gotta try THPS 3+4. Well, at least it looks like this game is a good remaster, so kudos to them. I know about all these things because i do a lot of research before i buy anything, but some of these information isn't very easy to find, so that's why you probably didn't know about it. Also, i gotta go back to FF12 ZA, this game is really good

@AtlasLivesAgain they didn't do a good job with Oblivion Remastered, and even though they eventually patched MGS3 Delta, the game's performance is still below what's expected on both PS5 and Pro. They did some good remakes or ports (like FF12) but then you have games like the ones i mentioned, Return to Arkham and etc

Virtuos is the last company that i would want to be working on a Fallout remaster, not that Iron Galaxy has a perfect track record, because they definitely don't. To be fair, Bethesda developed Fallout 3 with duct tape and spit, so i think remastering this game will be a nightmare to anyone who has the "luck" to work on it

(same goes for New Vegas and Obsidian)
