This news is going over about as well as I expected.

Good for PC players. Days Gone is great. Plat'd it happily. PC gamers gonna love it. Curious to see what kinda mods people come up with for it.

 

[Concern]

So old PS4 exclusives are coming to PC? Who cares lol?

This isn't the same situation like Xbox where new games release simultaneously on PC and Xbox.

Some here are trying to make a bigger deal out of this than what it really is: year old PS4 exclusives finally coming to PC.

Weak bait, sony exclusives aren't unpolished turds like Cyberpunk.

But have fun with old games PS fans already played and finished years ago boomer.

Same can be said about any game. But have fun with those old games.

Repeating the same thing over and over and insulting people doesn't make you seem any less triggered.

 

[FatKingBallman]

And we are talking about Sony games so the warriors also enjoy mocking Xbox fans for not having excluisves anymore.

Sony has a different strategy than MS. MS is releasing their games day and date, Sony doesn't.

Days Gone was important as exclusive for PS4, now it is not

 

[BennyBlanco]

Actually the same.
Not all PS games will come to PC.

"releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC"

They choose another old game to come... who will be next maybe in 2022?

And just to be sure... Days Gone coming to PC heavy hints they are working in Days Gone 2 PS5.

is that what "a whole slate" means?

lmao fanboys in an absolute shambles this morning

nice try. but let it out. keeping inside isnt good for you

 

[OmegaSupreme]

PC can't stop winning. Hop on board fellas.

 

[The_Mike]

Maybe because it was not a big sales success compared with others PS games so they need to get the money back for that game first.

BTW they seems to be matching new sequels announces with he PC port too.

Horizon PC > Horizon sequel on PS5 announced
Days Gone PC > Days Gone sequel on PS5 announced

Seems like the strategy is to get the PC sales and make the PC players that liked the game buy a PS5 for the sequel.

I can see they putting GoW next to after announce the Ragnarok release date on PS5.

Yeah, because pc players are gonna buy inferior hardware to play the sequel way worse than the first game ran on their pc.

If pc players waited this long to get these games, then they are gonna wait for the next ones as well.

Theres thousands of games getting released every year. Sony's exclusives aren't gifts from the messiah.

And Sony will be fine. Both earning from their console as well as pc like Microsoft does.

Maybe this is what they hope to achieve:

Come on, it's all fun and games until someone loses their exclusives.

replace zombies with teletubies or anime girls.

 

[CamHostage]

No wonder Jim Ross and that other bend studio dude left. Yikes

What would putting your game on PC have to do with it? Unless they didn't want to deal with a PC version?

Nothing. Particularly considering two of the three people who left Bend Studio were writers, not programmers.

As a diehard Sony fan i think it's really cool that more Sony games are coming to other platforms. I sincerely hope Bloodborne will join the party soon.

Just a personal guess, but I feel the Japanese games will be the last to come over, if at all? The way SIE Japan handles product management is different than global, and lots of their products are kind of 2nd Party, where it's produced by the publisher by developed by an external studio, so it would be harder to make happen. (Those by external studios would need to be re-contracted for a port, although FromSoft is not small and has done PC products, so it should be able to handle it.)

Also, sadly, there aren't that many Japanese games this past gen to port over...

Would be great if Bloodborne did happen though. As you and many are saying, Bloodborne expanding releases would make the chances of BB2 more likely and viable. (It'd also hopefully rush along the PS5 BB1 upgrade since FromSoft would be opening up the code again, although From has a nasty habit of making its games stick to a framerate even on stronger hardware.)

As an aside, my bet for what's next is a PS5 game, so that's iffy, but it'd be good for Destruction AllStars to get a cross-play port. (That is, if it doesn't cost PC gamers 70 dollars...)

 

[HE1NZ]

Great. Days Gone is unplayable on PS4.

 

[sunnysideup]

There is no point in buying a ps5 now that all games are coming to pc.

why the fuck would i lock myself into an locked ecosystem like playstation when i can get the games on pc.

Jim ryan character is throwing the brand in the bin. I would not be surprised if all games going forward are gaas, woke, crap.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Takes 2 seconds to cancel... better to write off the sunk cost and avoid undermining your entire brand.

I have already bought 2 PS5's despite the supply situation, I am one of the most hardcore PS fans and buy their exclusives as CE's on launch without fail..... this is insulting to me and I won't be supporting launches anymore.

First one I wont support is Returnal.... NO BUY!

AND I'll be pushing others not to buy too to send a message.

I thought you were a reasonable poster but that's a weird stance? Jim Ryan just came in, he's not making those decisions by himself. For Returnal, the only message that will send is "a flop for Housemarque".

How would that go? "It's selling bad now because it might come to PC in 2024"? Makes no sense. Enjoy the game, it's going to look great on PS5 and you'll play it first.

 

[Tickle My Tendies]

replace zombies with teletubies or anime girls.

 

[FatKingBallman]

You know that Returnal and new Rachet are coming out for PS5 in next few months and not for PC. That's not of whole slate of games. Anyway, releasing PS4 games now on PC is irrelevant now regarding PS5. Days Gone was important as exclusive for PS4 back then. Now it is not when PS5 is out

 

[I'm nobody]

Dreams deserves a pc release do it

 

[Guilty_AI]

Heres a preview

 

[Loope]

Not that i care about most games from them ,GoT and Bloodborne mostly, but at least the spinning and the light rage is hillarious.

 

[FatKingBallman]

Dreams deserves a pc release do it

Oh yes, i agree with that

 

[Reindeer]

GAMES GONE

 

[mansoor1980]

sony decided to finally BEND over

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

PC gamers keep winning.

by playing old games? Better to have both platforms.

 

[Derktron]

Got a taste of that PC money and liked it.

Yep, I can see Nintendo trying it out very soon.

This news is going over about as well as I expected.

The fanboys haven’t fully woken up yet, give it some time and you’ll see the negativity come out.

 

[Skifi28]

Curious to see what kinda mods people come up with for it.

Nude ones, most likely.

 

[Reindeer]

No reason to own PlayStation anymore I guess going by what SonyGAF been telling us regarding Xbox all these years, especially since all the Sony guys own state of the art PCs.

 

[CamHostage]

why the fuck would i lock myself into an locked ecosystem like playstation when i can get the games on pc.

Jim ryan character is throwing the brand in the bin.

The brand is more the games, less than it is the box. The box is what gets the games onto the TV, where most consumers play these types of games. (Today it's easier than ever to set up an entertainment center PC, yet I've never bothered and I know few friends who have one, simply for the convenience and comforts and cheapness of a dedicated console.) It's a good box, with good controllers and a good interface and lots of fun frills, but if Sony can't exist without a box, it'll be in trouble as the future offers more and more box-free and cross-box experiences.

As a PlayStation fan, I like looking at my collection of PlayStations and thinking of all the memories attached to those boxes (just the boxes themselves, almost every one has been described as "sexy"... Sexy? It's plastic and wires, but somehow we attribute sex appeal to it, so weird...), but if PlayStation had made backwards-compatibility a priority, all but one of those PSes would be out in a box in the garage collecting dust. The box isn't ultimately what makes me a PlayStation gamer.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Is there a support account I can contact to port-beg specific PC features, namely DLSS? IIRC this game is on UE4 and they just added a DLSS plugin that would make it really easy to implement.

 

[SLB1904]

we are laughing, peasants got the best jokes

 

[Andodalf]

I love how the argument was that Horizon was almost 4 years old so no one cared about the old game.

No We're getting an exclusive in less than 2 years and you're still trying the same argument.

I'd bet you'd make the same argument if they came out on the same day but PS5 servers opened in AUS time

 

[rofif]

Now pc players can experience this medicore game with worst characters and story in last decade
the game is better to play than every part of it is on separate merit

 

[regawdless]

Great news! Sold my PS4 Pro 1.5 years ago and went full PC master race. Planned to buy a PS5 down the road when the first revision comes.

Haven't played Days Gone yet. Hope the port will be decent.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Nintendo not worried about PC. They want smartphone money.

so good

i think the game is fine tbh. so far what ive played i would say is a good game. and it was free so i wont complaint

 

[SmokSmog]

 

[Stuart360]

Nice, its one of the PS games i always wanted to play, and said the same numerous times on here.
Dont be surprised if most Sony games end up coming to PC by the end of this gen. Sony are doing a slow transition compared to Microsoft, but it IS happening. There own version on Gamepass is coming too imo.

 

[Entroyp]

Nice!!

 

[cromofo]

No sane person expects to play Sony games on PC day and date anytime soon. The fact that "lol you're getting 2-3 year old games" has become the "gotcha" speaks volumes on how far we've come. First it was "no way, you're not getting any Sony exclusives", then it was "it's only for Decima engine games,", now it's "they're too old".

Kudos to Sony and may it continue. They've obviously crunched the numbers and recognized that there's money to be made by entering the PC market in a larger manner.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Days Gone with native mouse+kb and no aim assists? Very welcome.

 

[FatKingBallman]

No reason to own PlayStation anymore going by what SonyGAF been telling us regarding Xbox all these years.

Telling us about what?

 

[Gediminas]

Jim Ryan just came in, he's not making those decisions by himself.

that is bull of crap. they pushed all of those people out, who cared for games and gamers and PS community. when he and Hulst came, nothing good came after that. communication was worst and worst. canceled E3, canceled PS Experience, canceled other shows. lies. games now coming to PC. games now 70-80$. this idiot and his boyfriend Hulst did that, no one else.

 

[Eanox]

The big hitters IMO won’t hit PC. Uncharted, Last of Us, God of war, Spider-Man and GOT.

The next titles I am seeing is Shadow of the colossus, Dreams, inFamous, Killzone, the order and GT sports.

2nd parties like returnal,

 

[Airbus Jr]

Jim Ryan is destroying Playstation

Bring back Sony to Japan you useless smug

He is probably on the pay roll from some american tech company. He is clearly running the company into the ground.

The whole point of exclusives was to sell hardware.

"Days Gone is just the first of many new PS4 games coming to PC"​

Days Gone is just the first of many new PS4 games coming to PC

PlayStation boss Jim Ryan mentions a "whole slate" of PS4 games are on the way to PC

[Vae_Victis]

If that's the case they would still get the software sales. The only issue with putting there games on PC is there more open to piracy.

The issue is that in that case they don't make licensing money from third parties anymore.

When you buy CoD, Assassin's Creed or whatever on PS4 / PS5, Sony takes around 15-20% of the money. So the way the system makes money is the more people buy a PS, the more likely they are to buy at least some third party games on PS, which makes Sony money "for free".

So even if a game like Days Gone doesn't break even on its own (I don't kniw if it did), if it pushed at least a few tens of thousands of people to buy a PS4/5 those people are likely to also buy a few third party games for PS or subscribe to Plus, which makes Sony additional money.

Moving IPs to multiplatform means making more money on the first party games themselves, but pushing less people to buy your console and make you money there through additional purchases.

As long as only old-ish games are being ported, you can argue that by now all those who could have been convinced by them to buy a PS4 already did, so you are selling those games to people who would have never bought them or a PS otherwise.

But if Sony start to let go of new exclusives on their brand new console, it means they started to move away from a proprietary platform model and into a publisher/service provider one.

I enjoyed the game so much more than I expected. Turned out one of my favorite PS4 games. With mods this could be amazing on pc.

I just hope we get a sequel.

 

[ethomaz]

Days Gone 2 will be available on PS5 and...PC.

Sure on PC when they want to announce Days Gone 3 for PS5.

 

[Gatox]

I'm surprised to see Sony fans saying they don't think new games will be on PC anytime soon, especially when they think Bethesda games won't be xbox exclusive because MS wont turn down PlayStation money. Surely Sony won't turn down PC money for their games either?
