Thanks for sharing the latest news with us :>
Darn.
Was really hoping my PC would do for playing future Horizon (not Hunters Gathering) and GoW games.
Didn't need a PS5, but I guess Sony doesn't want my money anymore.
Too bad.
We have PS4 emulation already, thanks to Bloodborne fans. With enough patience you will be able to play it on pc
Went decades without them. Didn't really play the ones that did become available.. No loss as far as I'm concerned.
As someone who played them all voraciously on PS5 then downloaded their repacks once they became available to mod the fuck out of them to give them new life to me, this hurts a lot.
Don’t worry, this is not the first time they’ve done this. They’ll be back.
The only ones I was remotely interested we're Demons souls remake (which never came to PC) and Bloodborne remake (which never happened in the first place). For the rest of Sony games I gave most of them a fair shot but none of them made me think "wow, this was a must play".
I've found that most of their games are overpriced and take years to lose their value, as well as being more demanding of hardware then their image quality suggests. Still, a shame to lose a publisher doing AAA single player games that aren't live service slop.
PS makes pretty much all my favorite PC games so that's unfortunate for me.
Hey Sony, you know what's going to happen?
People are just not gonna play those games instead of buying a PS5 to play them.
Congrats on setting your money on fire.
I bought all of their consoles up to the PS4 but never got the use out of them that I did with my PC.
When they started releasing games on PC they (Sony) started getting money from me again because the games are great. But I guess they didn’t like that! And since I’m not buying a console, because they’re a scam, they won’t be getting my money.
Their loss. I won't buy a PS5 or later anyway.
LOL.
I mean, oh no! What will I do now? I only have a hundred thousand other games I can play now.
Guess I'll just not play PlayStation games now and go spend my money on amazing indie titles that seem to blow everything else out of the water these days.
Yeah.
TBH there are too many PC games. It’s overcrowded. Sony has some great studios, but it’s not like the platform will wither because they leave.
But like someone said, I’m more worried Sony thinks PC hardware won’t be viable anymore, and is exiting a dying platform. I know that seems inconceivable now, but a few years AMD/Intel/Nvidia could easily decide higher end gaming hardware is just not worth developing.
It’s already started, seeing AMDs and Intel already cut some GPUs and Nvidia is allegedly pondering the same.
And the same can't be said for consoles? I mean, not to go all nihilistic or something, but if high end hardware is being threatened then why would Nvidia or AMD or Intel even bother with custom SOCs for consoles too? All of that manufacturing, R&D, and materials can go towards AI data center products.
Putting aside the current hardware apocalypse happening...
To play devil's advocate a bit. If I was Sony and I saw my competitor, Microsoft, shoot themselves in the feet so much that they are no longer in the console space then...why wouldn't I capitalize on that and take advantage of being the only home console available? I can release all of my first party stuff on my console only so people have to buy my console.
Sure some Xbox gamers are going to go PC, but the majority don't want a PC. They want a console they can plug into a TV and press Play on whatever game and it just works. If Microsoft doesn't produce Xbox's anymore, where are they going to go? Nintendo? Lmao. It'll be a PlayStation.
I think this move is just Sony doubling down on their platform and titles. I for one would advise against buying a console at this point because you are locked down to their ecosystem, their services. On PC I can at least play the games I bought 20 years ago on Steam. I can emulate tens of thousands of retro games. And I can use the controller or peripherals I want to use. I prefer the Xbox controller(well Steam soon enough), and if I went PlayStation then I'd be playing with a controller I simply don't like. On PC I can choose whichever one I want.
Too many companies try to make it feel like you should be beholden to them because they made one game you like. Nope, it’s the platform (PC) for me. If you’re not making games for it anymore, your loss. I’m gonna find something else to play, not follow you around where you want.
Guess I’ll have to find some indie devs to give my money too.
Honestly with the number of old games I have and the number of new awesome games on Steam, I am set for life. Sony, i need you not
Disappointing, though ultimately a small part of my PC library in the end. Enjoyed Horizon Zero Dawn and loved both parts of The Last of Us. Yet they never did bring over The Last Guardian, Bloodborne, or Bluepoint's remakes (I played the original Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls).
Intergalactic is the only upcoming title I'm interested in, and that's nowhere enough for me to spend on a PS5.
Okay, they will sell less games.
Sony saw Xbox effectively exiting the console industry and said "excellent, now we have a monopoly on the space, we can make all our games console-exclusive." This is why, loathe as I am to admit it, it was a good thing for a competitive ecosystem for Microsoft to still be in the race. But since they decided to cap themselves...
My read on this is that they don’t think the price of consumer components is ever going to come down, and that they’re not going to waste resources on something they think is going to become a marginalized platform.
Side note: the AI bubble cannot pop soon enough. Fuck Ai.
Oh no, but the PC has no games
I have not bought a Sony console since the PlayStation 2. I've "missed" a fair few games already. The ones that end up worth playing always seem to make their way to PC eventually.
In no world am I buying a PS5 so I guess FAFO
Seems like a bold move with the rising cost of components.
I read somewhere else that one of the suspected reasons for it was actually the rising cost of components. Microsoft and Sony are big companies, and have the swing to be able to acquire hardware way easier than the everyday consumer, so in a case of limited supply causing hardware prices to soar, they will get the parts first.
They don't need to worry about prioritizing the PC market if the only new gamers around are going console due to affordability or availability.
Being said, I already have a 5, I got it a few years back and I lowkey regret it because as a sony fan all my life... it just had nothing for it. Everything I did on the 5 could have been done on the 4 and I don't feel like the current releases are (or at this point are ever going to be) worth getting, which was likely a big reason for their push into the PC market in the first place.
With the supply and cost issues, that reason isn't present anymore.
I was really sad when CTR and Ratchet & Clank stayed on PlayStation. Those were some of the best reboots in ages and I don’t really want to have to keep my PS4 setup just to play those.
As much as I have enjoyed all the spider-man titles and Horizon, if I have to buy a ps to play future installments, that's going to be a no from me
So just their exclusives which they barely make anymore. I can buy used for the 2.5 games Sony themselves makes per generation now when they aren't failing to trend chase a whaling game genre.
Of course they leak that sort of information. They want people to buy PlayStation consoles which is a hard proposition, given the fact that after years on the market these consoles get more expensive instead of receiving price cuts (an outright ridiculous situation). Even more so with PS6 facing delays.
The benefit of controlled leaks is that Sony never made an official announcement. And when two years after a release on PlayStation they make a PC port, they never formally lied.
It won't last.
They'll be seeing none of my money then. Maybe if I ever bother to play them it'll be for free on an emulator years from now, but honestly, I have a massive backlog of amazing games to play so it might not even be worth the effort. I bought most of their PC releases too. Oh well.
With as many as they release, that's what like, one every three years or so? I'll live.
Then I won't buy them I guess. I don't care enough about Sony's games to buy a PS5 just to play them.
Part of this lack of commercial success may be due the delay between console and PC launches
Yeah, no shit. And it's really not even worth it since most aren't going to buy a console because of this. It's just bad business.
Welp. I guess they don't want my money.
Sony hasn't developed a good game since Gravity Rush 2 so I don't care.
ok
Oh well, im still moving to PC. Im sick of missing out on mods.
They'll be seeing fewer sales from PC players.
console wars are on again, but Valve will crush Sony.
They don't stand a chance. (*)
(*) Sorry Valve i just doomed you, my predictions are always wrong,.
