There has been much speculation about why Sony will stop porting games to PC and the reason has been confirmed. The games did not sell enough on PC. Wow! Why do you think this happened? What went wrong on PC for Sony?
maybe if they made good games again I'd buy them
>never release anything simultaneously>any cultist that wants their movies would've already played it on release on their cultist box>"Le wtf... why do le PCple not want le movies they saw years in advance?"Many are asking this.
we'll never know
>>741376654what gamesthey have nothing to port lmao
Pcfags are fickle retards. Fuck em.
If you check the Steam forums the reply to the news was "it's okay, I will play them on my PS5", proving Sony right.
>>741376949This. Why would I buy a game that came out a year before, that is mostly cutscenes, that I can watch on Youtube?
The only Sony published games I bought on PC was Stellar Blade and Helldivers 2. They can keep the rest of their cinematic movie game trash.
>>741377058>when you internalize memes as reality
>>741376654>Hulstsounds jewish
>>741376654weird how stellar blade and helldivers did fine while the over the shoulder third person cinematic experiences flopped because people already played the game on youtube years prior.
>release games on pc 5 years late>why didn't they le sell?????Fucking retards kkeek
>>741376654>PC gamers have tastes and don't want woke movie games or ConcordsBased.You know what Sony-published game did great on PC? Stellar Blade.
>>741377250>the things that did fine weren't HulstslopNoticing...
Roblox
>>741377072That's why kikes love consolecucks, don't forget to renew your online subscription btw
>helldivers is the most bought sony game ever>world wide smash hit, even on PC which is a new record for them, even third world countries are enjoying it>suddenly decide half the world cant play on pc because they need some cucked sony account to play>momentium is hamstrung but keeps going>sony does other gay bullshit, arrowhead is just arrowhead>game slowly bleeds players>See! See! No one wants to play on PEE CEE!Niggers. Pic related, sony game devs in a few years
>>741376654There is no way porting existing games is a net loss.No one buys playstations for the first party so even an extra 200k on your first party oscarbait shovelware is just easy extra money.
>>741377250The most telling thing is that even a failed game like Marathon was overwhelming PC majority.
>>741376654Day 1 or fuck off, shrimple as.
>>741377257as a side note, didn't ghost of tsushima do pretty well on pc? wasn't that like 4 years after the original release.
>>741376654Yeah sorry. I pirate all my games
>>741377351>online subscriptionSpeaking of.
LOL Last of Us and Snoi of War did extremely well,my dream of playing infamous and that PS4 game on a handheld ain't happening huh? Carcinogenic Jews,keep dumping money on that fire pit with post menopause lesbian cinematic "games"
wtf no one wanted to play our tranny simulator?
>>741377445it's dependent on the game
>>741377538Sony cucks paying both a sub to play games online + a sub for a single game LMAO
Of course, it's a post from Resetera.
>>741377369they're not saying it's a loss. they're saying it's not worth the effort.
PCfags are missing out once again.
>>741376654One the one hand they made more money than they cost to port, so financially this is a bad move.The real problem was steam charts, which revealed that stellar blade had more players than both nu god of war games combined. That sort of information is embarrassing for them, and goes against their world view (woke good, gamers bad) so it was natural that they'd pull out
>>741376654Maybe they should have released Bloodborne on PC instead of twiddling their thumbs
Ratchet & Clank was the only game I cared about and they are too busy making marvel slop to make more so can't say I care.
>>741377759If porting is an effort then you got way bigger issues.
>>741376654PC gamers have taste
How long until they crawl back?
>>741377868
>>741376654It's bullshit, obviously. Their ports cost virtually nothing to make. The made hundreds of millions in additional revenue with no effort. It's strictly because the PS5 sells like shit and they need exclusives. It's not hard to understand.
>>741376654what games?, all is saw from them were movies like the last of us
>>741377898>these are bad because... they just are okay??
>>741376949>>"Le wtf... why do le PCple not want le movies they saw years in advance?"
I'd have been more interested in them doing PC ports and collections of their classic PS1-PS3 line-up, preferably with extra content or QOL features that would make them preferable to simply emulating them.
>>741377759what the fuck did they even port? i cant think of any sony game of note on playstation OR pc. in fact i totally forgot they were porting stuff because i heard nothing else about it.was it a bunch of woke slop?
>>741376654>Why do you think this happened? What went wrong on PC for Sony?Trying to force use of a PSN-account for single-player games. Then trying to steer the narrative around it, rather than candidly admitting they fucked up. Unlike console-gamers, PC-gamers punch straight through that bullshit and will hate you all the more for it.
It's up to PS5 to save Helldiver 2 and Marathon now...
>>741376654>Release slop for 70 to 80 bucks>Wonder why nobody buys it
>>741377058
>>741378198wait a minute...
I have a PS5 and haven't bought a single first party snoy game this entire generation as they are all terrible. If your wondering why I got the PS5 it was for FF7 Rebirth day 1.
>>741376654>Release nu-slop on pc>pc fags only care about bloodborne, gravity rush and ps3 era and below games so they don't buy their shitsimple as that
>>741376654A ported Bloodborne would have paid for for every single failed shitty walking sim C I N E M A T I C slop port that flopped.
>>741376654We want Bloodborne and Gran Turismo, not movie game snoy template slop.
Oh no! Anyway...
I mean, duh.There's a reason why the most successful SP Sony game on PC is Stellar Blade, and it's not even close.
>>741378598I really don't want them.
>>741377538this shit redpilled me on how retarded subscriptions were though. thank you blizzjews.
>>741378598You want them, buy a PlayStation, Sony's not running a charity.
>>741376654lots of games got pulled from Steam because of Sony's involvement and now they're just plain backing out like the ecosystem will recover with a scab wound.
>>741378598Yeah this, i bought a Bloodborne and Gran Turismo machine last time, not again, which is a shame because i like Gran Turismo.
>>741376654>Why do you think this happened?capcom is thriving on PC, maybe stop taking 2 years to port your retarded movie games
>>741378598>We want Bloodborne and Gran TurismoNo, we want only Bloodborne and Gravity Rush.
>>741378913this
>>741376654>release games late>release bad games>release games where mj saves spiderman and is super boss woman. I dont have a clue
>>741377538>b-b-b-b-but Blizzdrones!soulless animals just like consolebrowns
>>741376654>PC version of a Playstation game sells millions of copies>Sony: "Not good enough! Our jew shareholders are demanding the games have to sell hundreds of millions of copies! LINE MUST GO UP BECAUSE THE CEO NEEDS HIS 5TH YACHT!"Not my problem

>>741376654>release games 2 year+ after release >at full price I mean what the actual fuck do you expect? Especially nowadays with peoples insane FOMO where they buy shit and never play it or touch for 5 hours and never play it again.
>>741378113god of warhorizonspider-manconcordmarathonthe only ones that sold really well were stellar blade and helldivers
>Spider-Man 1-2>God of War 1-2>Last of Us 1-2>Horizon Zero Dawn>Uncharted 4
>>741379464so yes a bunch of woke slop
>>741376654All of their games are ass. Genuinely not even worth pirating.
>make movie games that people can watch on youtube as snoy games have no gameplay>be shocked when nobody buys them
>>741378691it isn't,it is Helldivers. Stellar Blade was only loosely associated with Sony
>>741380391>SPCome on anon, read.And yes, Stellar Blade is the most successful SP Sony game on PC ever.>Stellar Blade was only loosely associated with SonyThey published it you tard.Thankfully they're moving away from Sony for the sequel, but they were definitely involved with publishing the original, even on PC.
>>741376654HAHAHAHAAND STAY OUT. Man, fucking awesome /v/. I fucking hate these political games Sony makes, all just fucking left of center propaganda. If it's not selling, this is good news! I don't care what platform. FUCK YES!
So is Physint not coming to PC?
>>741376654Sony has a monopoly on over the shoulder third person action games with a focus on storytelling. Anyone who was interested in those games already bought a playstation console long ago and the rest don't care for the most part.
>>741380649KojiPro is third party, it'll land on PC.
>>741376654>make horizon their new flagship IP>sell it as a pack-in with PS5s>ano gaymu sold amazing desu ne!>port it to PC and it sells like shit>WHITO PIGGU GO HOME
>>741376654We don't want Sony gamesHere's a tip for you: make better games, you fucking tranny.
>>741376654>PC gamers don't want to play woke Sony slopWow, I am shocked! Totally shocked I tell you!
>>741380764I know they're third party, but I thought Physint was being published by Sony and OD was being published by Microsoft?
>>741379464Stellar blade was a temporal sony exclusive
>>741381257>crime in progress
I thought Returnal was infuckingcredible and im salty i dont get to play Saros.Sony can tongue my anus if they think im buying a ps5 for the rest of their fucking catalogueFuck you
>>741378764I’m trying to fairly think of Sony games they never ported that I would buy. >Bloodborne>Resident Evil 4 VR>Shadow of the Colossus >Gran TurismoThat’s what I’ve come up with so far. I can’t think of another. Certainly isn’t TLoU, Spiderman, Horizon, or any of the other shit they did put out.
>>741378691Remember Sonygros were trying to sabotage their own exclusive because it had hot women in it?
Snoy would literally rather abandon PC rather than port the fun games people were asking for instead of porting Larry Finks' DEI slop.
>>741376654They literally refused to port games like gow og trilogy, gravity rush, ratchet or even remaster Jak games so what the fuck did they expect lmao? All the did was port nu gow and Cuckmann shit, they didn't even bother to port Uncharted trilogy
>>741376654Holy shit, they are so fucking stupid they somehow managed to get the wrong lesson out of the woke apocalyse lmaoooo
>>741376654>why don't nintendo put their games on PC???LOL.
>>741377876As soon as Laufey flops Intergalactic is even deader
>>741381691The Uncharted example is so funny. They release only the 4th game in the series and wonder why they weren’t able to build an audience foothold for the series on PC.
awesomewe don't need more games like The Last of Us. We need more games like Astro Bot. I hope Sony decides to fuck off and never releases another game on PC. But I don't think they will. Faggots and niggers love lefty games like God of War, and Sony won't be able to resist the money for long.
>>741376654Don't care. Still not buying.
>>741381638>>741381691Yids just HATE the old catalogue because it was full of cute girls and cook things. I wouldn't be surprised they rather NOT make money than see better games ported Yid is a pretty cuck culture >>741381791They did the fucking same with Ratchet
>>741376654>single-player narrative gameswow I wonder why people who aren't confined to one console aren't buying those!
>>741381583>>741381821You thought of one I didn’t. I would buy Astrobot.
>>741381691Jak even had a video of a rejected remake God forbids not facescanning some ugly nepobaby and make cheaper games
>>741381941Pretty much the only honest to god, amazing game that sony has made in the past 15 years. Since Obama was elected, really. They need to do more of THAT.
Should've released bloodborne on PC. stupid fools.
>>741376654>their single player narrative games will be PlayStation onlyOh thank fuck. Less garbage cluttering up the steam store.
>>741376654>sony left P due to floppingAre they gonna leave PS too then?
>>741381583I bought rift apart even though ratchet hasn't been any good since tools of destruction
>>741377876My guess is they want to test the supposed ps6 portable first
>>741381473I want to commit a crime on Pekora~
>>741382106They lost the source code.
>>741380891They made Aloy the literal face of the astroturfed female that nobody wants. Has anyone ever seen an Aloy cosplay? Do people draw fanart and write Horizon fanfic? Yet it's somehow a multimedia franchise.
>>741380558Yeah, ShiftUp learned its fucking lesson. Sony absolutely went out of its way to sabotage Stellar Blade from day 1 and its story was one giant case of trying to make it flop deliberately to another. When it sold, sony cucks spent a year trying to say their own game flopped and didn't want it ported to PC, an actual objective platform with metrics you can trust, because it was 'totally going to flop'.Then it outsold every other game Sony ever put on PC and the response from Sony fags was to cry about how Steam charts should be banned.Sony cucks worked harder than anyone else to try and make their own exclusive fail, failed at it. Then when it got a port, cried because they couldn't control the platform and thus hide the numbers. ShiftUp fucked up bad but got lucky and managed to make a shit load despite their own publisher and every modern gaming journalist trying to sink them.
>release games on pc requiring a psn account>blocks psn on 190 countriesnice strategy
simultaneous releasescater to chinksit took capcom few years to make pc their most profitable platform, if those morons can figure it out then you have no excuse
>>741382229I don’t know enough, so I’m admitting I’m talking out of my ass. I also don’t know if what you’re saying is the case, but shouldn’t the company that made it have no problem decompiling their own game?
>>741380558>they published ityou think I didn't know that? Publishing deals can be as minuscule as just listing the game on your catalog of products.HoMM Olden Era is Published by Hooded Horse, neither the dev nor Hooded Horse even own the IP and Sony clearly doesn't own Stellar Blade or 2 would have been premiered on SoP
>>741376654Capcom just had their most successful year ever because of PC lmfao. Imagine being a snoy
>>741376654Well their games suck ass so I don't really see the problem with this.
>>741377538You're reaching. Fucking FFXI was paid subscription on PS2
>>741376654No one buys SnoyslopNot even snoys
>>741376654Ratchet Rift Apart releasing on PC saved me from buying the dogshit that is the PS5Also the PS6 because I now know that the franchise is dead
>>741381903Best edit
>>741382861Wasn't there an insomniac report saying Rift Apart barely broke even but they still have an entry planned for PS6?
>>741383136>saar very nice edit saar
noooooooo not the singular video game worth playing, I will now buy a $800 PS5 asap
>>741377283We should 100% start referring to modern Sony games as "Hulstslop" so long as his influence remains.It says everything about where Sony is as a company that he's not persona non grata after Concord. I can't take any claims about Sony getting their heads screwed on straight while he's still a major executive there.
>>741381903Your AI slop bores me.
>>741376654The ports were awful and took forever to come out on pc, it's their fucking fault
>>741381282Kojima Productions isn't a first party Sony studio, they're independent. so it really comes down to whatever deal they inked. but i don't think Kojima wants exclusivity at all, he wants his games to be as widely available as possible. if it were any other studio i'd say exclusivity is guaranteed but we'll see. the idiots who run Playstation are determined to triple down on this despite how stupid it is. exclusivity does not push hardware, period, particularly during an economic downturn when all devices that house memory/graphics cards are like $200-600 more expensive than they would have been 5 years ago.
>>741376654Always seemed like a odd choice to actively refuse to port games to PC.Given in this day and age, all games WILL eventually be playable on PC, whether they want them to be or not. Might as well make some money on it while making it convenient for the masses instead of making such things a waiting game for emulation to catch up. Which seems to be speeding up closer to current gen consoles with every passing generation. Or at the current gen if you're Nintendo.
PC vegans literally only buy assfaggots capeshit shootets and 2d pixeltranny garbage
>>741382669in stellar blade's case playstation funded a significant portion.
>>741382381When you take away all the nonsense and look at it plainly. Sony really fucked up here. Badly.
Yeah, I’m actually glad I’ve been playing fewer games on PC. Who’s even heard of any of this shit anyway?
>>741376654That's what happens if you put stuff on Steam, it will fail
>>741384420All of these are pretty mainstream, Anon. Get out of your cave.
>>741384471What do you mean?
>>741384471I think they are Uncstream, not mainstream. Roblox is something that is mainstream.
>>741376654They haven't made a game i've been interested in since GoT.
>>741381583Wipeout Omega.
>>741376654>for no fucking reason at all decided Helldivers 2 needed to have region restrictions Dumbest fucking move I have ever seen, they literally said, fuck you just refund.
>>741376654>They didn't make enough money>release game a decade after its initial release date on PC>wonder why it didn't sell as well
>>741376654Maybe Sony should focus on making good games, rather than (((money))). Anyone, or any business, that focuses on (((money))) is doomed to starve to death.
>>741376654Crazy that Hulst still has a job
>>741384669What Sony games aren't popular?
>>741384738Concord, Marathon, the Horizon Concord MOBA?
>>741376654You mean gamers don't want to watch glorified interactive movies? Who would have thought
>>741376654If you didn't release old shitty games with shitty optimization
>>741376654they lazily pushed out ports of 5+ year old games rife with bugs and performance issues that didn't exist in the original versions, expected people to pay full fucking price, and then, instead of doing a better job, threw their hands up in the air and decided to stop ALL pc porting efforts when people pointed out they were doing a bad job
>>741377151He's right. They ported most of their recent exclusives to PC already and we already can play Bloodborne at 60fps
>>741376654So why should we believe Jewson Sheckel over the literal CEO of PlayStation?
>>741376794FPBP
>>741384738All of them since Bloodborne, in my eyes.
I enjoyed days gone and Returnal to a lesser extent, but yeah I can't really say I was super interested in them to begin with. The delays remove a LOT of the hype for me personally, I don't want to wait to play something, or I'll just forget about it lmao,
>>741376654>port their shit years later when interest completely died down>paired with some delusional expectation that it'll sell just as well as the original console release>cry that everything is underperformingYeah, no fucking shit sherlock when you set completely unrealistic expectations in bad faith. These ports are comparatively cheap to make and easily turned a profit for them despite releasing years later.This shit honestly feels like it was always meant to be nothing more than a rug pull with how they spun this narrative pretty much from the beginning. Get PC players invested in your IPs and then hope they move over when the ports stop coming.
>>741385496That's literally what Sony execs have said countless times. PC gamers simply did not give a shit.
>>7413766541. Most of the games came really late, years and years after they came out. Most people literally new all of the major events/story beats of these games just from osmosis2. The PC ports were very inconsistent. Spiderman had terrible ports. God of War had good ports. HZD had mediocre ports. I heard the zombie game had a decent port3. The honest truth is just that these Sony games aren't that good. They're really, really, REALLY high production value with great graphics and the latest tech and hollywood quality VA work and they're also mostly boring and not very engaging. The best one of the lot is GoW (2016) and to be honest, it wasn't THAT good. I think there is just a "sony gamer" just like there is a "nintendo gamer" or a "blizzard gamer" where their tastes align more with a company than they do any specific genre. Sony games have a ton of similarities and I feel like Playstation owners really like that, same with how Switch 1/2 owners love Nintendo games. As someone who has been primarily a PC gamer since like 2009, I just don't really like these cinematic 3rd person action games with a heavy emphasis on hollywood style narratives.
>>741386363most Sony games are narrative driven moviegames so 70% of the experience can be gotten for free from youtube, and what you're left with after you wait 2-6 years for a port is fairly mediocre gameplay
>>741386363Days gone had a very serviceable port, and the update they did (broken roads) last year added a shit ton of stuff and some heavy optimization fixes for the only points of contention (all related to the big fuck-ass swarms), it runs basically perfectly with anything above minspec.
>release shit games>don’t port the one game people want>complain no one’s buyingthey’ll come crawling back
astro bot is their only good game they should have ported that
>>741376794>maybe if they made good games again I'd buy themThey literally only needed to keep the japan studio around releasing some gem from time to time, team asobi is nice, but they struck gold by mistake and had to scramble to setup a team to continue with the astro IP.But again, I won't spend over 600€ to buy a ps5 for a single game that lasts 10 hours.
>>741386517The argument I hear the most against it is the duel-sense controller requirement.
>>741386489Calling them straight up movie games is not accurate. I have 60 hours in GoW, as shown above, and most of that IS gameplay. It is just the entire design of the game is cinematic. Cinematic is a much better term because it is stuff like:>Unnecessarily detailed animations for basic tasks that are repeated constantly adding up to a lot of wasted time over the course of the game>General sluggishness in movement, changing direction, stopping and starting momentum>Animation based combat, as opposed to hitbox based, causing you and enemies alike to magnetize to one another during attacks, taking away control to force you to see cool animations>Over reliance on conversation between characters to establish motivation, basically it feels like every other conversation is Atreus asking where you're going and why, very repetitive.I could go on. It is not that the game is majority cutscenes, that is extreme hyperbole. It is more like the game sacrifices player agency and responsiveness to have higher fidelity animations and other things of that nature.
>>741386517Porting Astrobot is pointless. It is a gimmick platformer that relies on the PS5 and its controller too heavily. It is a fun game and I like it, but it literally uses pretty much every normally unused feature of the controller as a gimmick.
>>741377123Yeah and at full priceI didn't/don't buy that shit out of spiteOh and because it's miserable shit
>>741386508they're going to have to. they're doubling down on trying to push hardware and no one can afford it lol, and no one is going to buy a PS6 or an Xbox 720 or whatever the fuck with how bad prices are.>>741386697that's exactly what i mean by moviegame though. it provides you with the illusion of gameplay/interaction but really you're pushing the play button on a movie that keeps stopping itself or refuses to progress unless you push the right button on the remote.
>>741386746It's an exclusive that gives purpose to the features they put in and demonstrates what any dev, if they gave a shit about making a fun game, could do if they wanted.
>>741376654>Narrative games
>>741376654PC has plenty of indie walking simulators with actual soul. Why would we buy sony's soulless walking simulators?
>>741376654Has anyone else noticed that Snoys have become an endangered species since Concord?They used to be even more insufferable than Tendies.
I have play a few Sony games.The new GoW, first Horizon, TsushimaAll 3 did not click with me so I did not buy more.I refunded horizon
>>741376654>snoy moviegames
>>741376654>no Demon's Souls>no Bloodborne>"wtf, why is all the movie slop we're porting flopping???"
>>741376654Oh no. Now I won't be able to play... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
>release the games that were at least interesting at the time they came out and were decently liked by people (GoW, Horizon, Last of Us, etc)>They sell pretty good on steam>Release their sequels that were mechanical and visual sidegrades at best with far worse stories in your single player moviegames and everyone knows the stories sucked>they sell worse
>>741386987The environments and dino designs were excellent. I could really see the worth of a student loan in them. But everything else just irks me. And I don't care enough to hate on it or talk about it.
>>741377072This
>>741384446Tell that to Palworld

>>741376654>games dont make enough money>let's remove them from another platform so they'll make even less money
>>741387406I'm offended. These micro-aggressions are turning into major problem, babe.
>>741376654how about making astro bot 2 or literally anything else instead of this trash
>>741376654Yeah man I’m just not all too interested in one okay exclusive every few yearsWake me up when Sly or something soulful is back

>>741387795
>>741376654BASED PC CHADS snobbing søy movieshit.Get fucked retards
The only good Snoy game I bought was Days Gone and the game isn't getting any sequel.
I unfortunately bought spider-man 1, miles morales, and spider-man 2 because I was really getting into spider-man, I even read the original comics by stan lee and ditko.I had SOME fun doing all of the side missions and junk, I was thorough as hell, but I wouldn't really recommend them. Spider-man 2 especially completely disenchanted me with insomniac.
not surprising, machine makers control the marketing and narrative for first-party titles, their purpose is to define brand identity, but they have no power over the pc market mindshare where their mid titles just blur with everything else
>>741376654>wait years to release games on pc>set msrp as the same as on ps years ago>sales not fantasticI know I'm retarded so I can't figure out why the things vidya execs do seem obviously retarded to me. If I think you're making stupid decisions, you got motherfuckin' troubles.
>>741382213You handle her, I'll take Pekomama.
>>741376654>3-5 year old cinematic shoulder camera games at full priceno thanks, but thanks for helldivers and the fat ass Korean game. I boughted those
>>741376654Pretty simple. PC users have choices. Sony's movie games aren't their first choices. Meanwhile, if you buy a Playstation, you're going to have to justify your purchase somehow so you'll end up buying whatever sloppa is available on your nogaemsstation.
Games played on youtube console years ago are a tough sell.
>whole backlog of great, ACTUAL video games PC players might actually want to play such as Bloodborne, God of War 1-3, Killzone, etc.>instead ports nothing but current and last gen movie games and woke flops that no one who matters on PC wants to playThey had the simplest job and they utterly failed. Thankfully they are gone now but they are leaving a heap of garbage behind as a reminder of their colossal fuckup. The ONLY questionably good game we got out of it was Helldivers 2.
well yeah they were porting the wrong gamestalking bout some horizon lmao no one wants to play that
>>741378598I dont want either, I already have Bloodborne.
>>741388459They also can't hide behind loose terms like "playtime", "players", "gamers", "engagement time" when people can just post the steam charts and laugh at the latest snoyflop. More people look at the charts for marathon than actually play it.
Would Bloodborne have sold well on PC /v/? Somehow I think it would have sold the best actually. PCbros don't like Sony's woke movie slop. But they have been asking for Bloodborne for ten years.
>>741376654No one with a brain would spend money on woke Jewish slop
>>741389851We could have been spelunking in the chalice dungeons for the past 11 years with the bros... in a better timeline...
>>741389851there was legitimate hype before ps4 emulation got crackedthey had a decade to port it but sat on their hands and now everyones played it already
>>741389851Probably as much as Lies of P, maybe less.
>>741377037If I was sony I would publicly flog iron galaxy and then flog anyone who signed off on letting iron galaxy handle that port. I honestly don't know how iron galaxy is even in business after they fucked up the batman arkham knight PC port a decade ago, they should have been blacklisted from the industry right then and there.
>>741390274>and now everyones played it alreadyThe portbegging never stopped. Emulator fags are a very loud minority
>>741376794PC browns don't buy games. They want them on PC because it's easier to pirate them that way.
>>741377250>people already played the game on youtube years prior.I kek'd
>>741390467>some of the highest-selling games of all time are PC gamesright.....
Unless you're easily impressed goycattle there is no game worth buying and plugging in a shitbox for. I'd rather wait 20 years for emulation than buy a ps5.
>>741389851I think soFromsoft is fully mainstream now thanks to elden ring, I'm certain bloodborne or even the demon souls remake would have sold multiple millions of copies but sony is retarded
>>741376654You can tell this is obviously wrong seeing as it would be basically free money even if the game doesn't do that well. Its also not as if they couldn't publish their back catalog and make a lot of money. It was likely done for another reason>Rumors of XBox allowing Steam which means PS games can be on XBoxOr more likely>Steam charts exposed flops like Concord and, to a lesser extent, Marathon
>>741376794Fpbp
>>741390852they're still going to port their multiplayer games so there will be plenty of steam chart threads to look forward to
>>741376654>almost exclusively movie games>timed releasesno shit no one bought them, they already watched the whole game on youtube 2 years earlier.
>>741390852Making a decent amount of free money is irrelevant in the current judaic broken industry. The only thing that matters is how many billions the blockbuster makes.
>>741386363>The best one of the lot is Days GoneFixed that for ya, buddy.
>No more Snoy slop on PCThank fucking Christ
>Only port the PS4/5 gamesI bet a lot more people would care if it was the PS1/2/3 era games
>>741376654That was me. I personally kicked movieshit out of PC.
>>741376654>release story heavy single player games years later on PC>charge full price for themwhat the fuck did they expect?
>>741391167and I gave all the movieshit HIV before they left.
>>741391167Thank you for your service!
>>741384420>games don't sell due to exclusivity on PS5>waste more money porting them to Steam that takes an additional 30% cut and removes any reason for PC gamers to buy a PS5gee i sure don't understand
>spend 500 million making a hallways simulator>it sells millions on snoystation but bombs financially>port it to pc for $30k at most>earn another 300 millionListen here, retard. They're pulling the plug because there's NO REASON to own a Snoystation at all, not because they don't want more low effort money.
>>741376654They simply didn't sell enough to off-set the money they lost from forcing people into buying consoles
>>741382151>Less garbage cluttering up the steam store.Theres a flood of pure AI genned garbage on steam now. A few snoy games isn't going to change anything lmfao
I have a PS5, but I doubt I will ever use it again, I dont see anything ever coming out as platform exclusive that would be worth it.
>>741377538WoW constantly has to wrestle with private servers that legitimately do better than them, practically nobody wants a WoW sub in 2026
>>741391540Despite the fact that steam hasn't had muh quality control for like 15 years now, mentally ill /v/ermin are still obsessed with the idea of this online video game store telling them what to play rather than just selling games. It's probably the most absurd thing about this board.
>>741376794fippy bippy.
>>741376654gee i wonder why that could be jasoneven the most braindead "analysts" figured it out 3 months ago
>>741392014>only because of release timinglol
>>741376654They didn't release any new games on PC, they're just old games that everyone watched on Youtube.
I've been playing on PC since 2012.I don't purchase Sony products because I don't give a single shit about cinematic experiences that couldn't even cut it in post-2018 Hollywood.Hope that answers your question, OP.
to "play ps5 games i need>an overpriced ps5>popcorn>something to drink to "play" ps5 games on PC i only need>youtubegee i wonder why
>>741376654xbox and playstation are doing the same thing. they are looking at nintendo and seeing that hording everything and protecting the brand is the way forward.
>>741376654If they're going to keep releasing trash like nu god of war they can keep their exclusives.
>>741376654Maybe the games are just shit?CAPCOM keeps selling stuff on PC.
>>741392520And the games failing to sell before that, which prompted this branching out in the first place?
>>741386887Walking sims are one of my favorite genres but I would never say that on /v/ I like mine with extra soul
>>741392547well that can't be it because Capcom games are shit too
>>741376794Fpbp/threadThey didnt even bother porting the ONE GAME theyve sat on for 11 years.Shame its unplayable on their own console lol.
>>741376654No shit, Sherlock. Who the fuck wants to play this shitty games?
>>741384415Actually... Let's not come to radical conclusions like that, dial down on that and strip back the layers a bit, and look at the NUANCE, anon.
>>741376654Literally their only game worth playing was Returnal and now their next game isn't even coming to pc lol. Apparently it sold like garbage
>>741392716Really too expensive.I think if the games were like around 5-10$ they'd get much more profits because people would buy them just to add to their collection.
>>741377101source?
>>741376794This, I'd buy Days Gone 2 or Rise of the Ronin 2, I won't buy Maam of War or Last of Goyim 3
>>741377898wonder what the top 50 ps5 games look like, and what numbers would Sony claim they have
>Take years old game, put it on PC, charge full price, never put it on significant sales on a platform built around sales and discounts, continue with this strategy for years even though its clearly not workinghUr DuRr WuHy aREnT Owr GaEMs SeLlInG oN pEE Cee!!!!!ObveEoSlee wE nEEd mOar LiVE sERvAsSS gAemZ!!!
>>74138779510 dollars was my max, so I ended up with Days Gone and Horizon
>>741393365By the time Sony ports a game to PC, they're being sold for $20 on PSN. Then it takes 3+ years to get a good discount on PC, even though the game is shit, like Last of Us 2
>>741386746bro I'm a PC player and I love my dualsenseit works amazing on games like SH2 remake - it literally gives you light taps when it rains, and the triggers have DIFFERENT types of give to it depending on your weapon - like pistols have some resistance, but the rifle and shotgun need to be pressed hard to shoot and aim. It even simulates pages turning - left to right - genuinely amazing controller provided the studio actually uses it - booger team certainly did, kudosnot many games support these features because the devs are still sleeping on them, but there's at least 30 officially by sony, likely even moreit should be noted that not even actual PS5 games normally utilize the controller to this extent, it's up to the devin any case, sony is a shit company now, but the dualsense controller is unironically the best controller on the planet right now other than stick drift - provided that you get the full featureshell, even without the features - I use it a lot for other gameslike for games like SH2 Remake it's legit magical - bro the TRIGGERS have a give to them like an actual gun trigger - it fights you if you try to press it immediatelyit simulates car acceleration, tooit's legit a marvel of engineering, and I despise modern soiny - give it a shot anon if you can get it for cheap - I got mine years ago, still workingI actually have not played astro bot - seems like I should - does it utilise the controller for gameplay to its fullest extent?
>>741376654Not a big loss. There is literally only one thing Sony could do to make me buy a PS5 and I'm almost scared to say what it is.
>>741376654literally the only game anyone on PC wants is bloodbornenobody cares about the americuck garbage
I'm more surprised Sony didn't just say fuck-it to everyone else on PC, and created their own launcher/platform to keep the full cut to themselves.
The whole debacle doesnt make sense, Shuhei Yoshida said it was like printing money and they made over 2 billion on PC and XBOX salesThis whole thing seems more like a petulant child throwing a tantrum more than anything else
>>741393829Gimmick != bad, it is just used as a term to mean "we're basing everything around one novel concept" where it can be done well or cheaply.The gimmicks of astrobot are clever, fun, but also kind of pulling out all the stops and I do not think an Astrobot 2 would work, and that is why I think they just release some levels and expansions. Yes you should play it.
>>741387424is this about you, anon? good on you if that's true
>>741394104they would get even less sales, why are you surprised
>>741394104That would be the smart thing, but have you seen the last couple of years?No one in the western branch knows what the fuck they're doing anymore.
>>741376654Californian games are just shit. Capcom has been doing fine on pc.
>>741394120I disagree with you.I think they saw the damage that was being done to the xbox brand, and in this very uncertain economic environment decided that to circle the proverbial wagons. The increases in hardware prices might necessitate this generation go on longer than anyone expected, and I think they don't want to establish this idea of people just eventually upgrading to PC and buying all their PS5 games there.
>>741394170Look at the state of Sony this gen. They haven't made a single good move. Creating their own walled garden on PC would be par for the course for them.
>>741394104I think they were leaning into that with the mandatory psn sign in thing until the massive backlashWouldn't be surprised if that was the beginning of them souring on PC as whole
>>741394104That was the plan, get steam users committed then pull the rug. They found strings as far back as Spider-Man 1 mentioning it.
>>741394309lmao that was so out of touch - they expected PCGODS to be compliant kucks like their soidience they 100% had an NPC anger moment>wtf why aren't they eating my shit, what a shit platform! pull out NOW
>>741394309Mandatory PSN is 'fine'. The problem was them forcing it into Helldivers 2 after the fact, instead of just making it optional for some benefits on the side to nudge people towards using it.
>>741393865say it
>>741394309That what these retarded executives don't understand, they want to parasite off an existing platform to boost numbers and showcase them at shareholders while the customer gets fucked.All they had to do was create a platform and release their games there and people would have bought them.If Epic came out with a new Unreal or a new IP on the Epic Gaym Store people would have bought them there, but no, they keep doing this retarded shit, when plenty of smaller companies have their own launchers and even stores, with multiple games.
>>741376654Not shocking. Despite having a retardedly high install base, games usually sell better on console by a pretty stupid amount. Having to make shit work, patch it, and maintain it across multiple platforms when catering to just one that generates the lion's share of your revenue is kind of stupid.Not dick riding Sony here, because fuck 'em for charging for online play when 99% of that shit is done peer to peer with zero input, influence, or cost to them. Triple fuck Microsoft for setting that precedent back with the original Xbox for consoles, and infinite fuck to PC for starting almost every single cancerous thing in gaming today. Games As Service? PC. Battlepass? PC. Subscription? PC. Loot boxes? PC.So, yeah. Fuck everyone.
>>741394834>All they had to do was create a platform and release their games there and people would have bought them.They would have even more shit sales what are you talking about retardDidnt work for Bethesda when they tried that shit and Epic is bleeding money trying to get their shit store to work and EA and Ubisoft have been circling the drain for years
>>741394437yeah, a free set of armor or whatever could've made it into a positive thing - they don't understand how people think - even fucking EPIC knows this, and Tim is RETARDEDepic made me create a fucking lego account to get a free, cute skinthe trick is making it optional
>>741376794And not lock their exclusives for 1 year and then release it after it already become last year's game
>>741394895>Subscription? PC. Loot boxes? PCYou lying cocksucker, brownoids back in 2010 were paying for FIFA points and Ultimate Cards while subscribing to Xbox Live.
>>741376654>only thing that I would have missed is Stellar Blade>the second game isn't going to be published by Sony
>>741395024>the trick is making it optionalAnd then for Sony, you start offering PS+ perks that are actually a decent benefit ingame, that you can't just buy normally.
Was the new ratchet and clank any good? That was pretty much the only non-movie they bothered to release.They also managed to make three spider-men games that looked faggy as hell and less fun than web of shadows. How do you even manage to fuck up a spider-man game?
>>741376794Again? The fuck you mean again?
>>741394986>They would have even more shit sales what are you talking about retardIf they had done it day one it wouldn't have been an issue.>Didnt work for Bethesda when they tried that shitBethesda releases a single game every 8 years and they did that for fucking Fallout 76, after trying to push paid mods on Steam.>Epic is bleeding money trying to get their shit store to work Because they wasted all their money on third party devs instead of hiring or creating teams inhouse to make stuff like Unreal or Jazz Jackrabbit.>EA Worked for a few years before people stopped paying attention to their slop.>UbisoftlolThey did not provide a good service, why would I use it?If they developed good games I would be buying from their store, that is not the case.
>>741376654Why are you browsing ResetEra?

>>741376654>release dogshit lgbtq simulators>pander to audience that doesn't buy these games>WHY ARENT OUR GAMES SELLINGevery time
>>741376654They released games two or three years later and still charged $60 for them.
>>741376654There were a total of two games on the PS5 that actually interested me. R&C: Rift Apart, which wound up being my least favorite game in the franchise and pretty indicative of most modern Sony games. And Astro Bot, which while pretty derivative and nostalgia baity it looks pretty fun. There's nothing really of value.
>>741376654See you in 5 years when you come crawling back to PC with your...3 new games you've made since you quit
>>741382381>>741384415One of the last games Shuhei Yoshida managed to get signed for a Sony publishing deal in 2019 before he was fired by Sony of America after refusing some "unreasonable demands". In an interview with Last Stand Media, Yoshida shared how he played a key role in getting Stellar Blade signed by Sony:"The third party relations team that I worked closely with... they looked at Asia, China, Korea, as a future growth region in terms of creating games. They looked at what Shift Up started working on, 'Project EVE', and they really liked it. And they asked me to go visit the studio right before Covid happened to check out the game and play the game, and talk with Kim-san (Shift Up CEO, Stellar Blade director). I became a fan and promoted the game internally, 'come on, this is a great game, sign it up!'".
>>741396117No wonder they went third party immediately afterSony is a shithole, it was bad before the Cali HQ move, now it's a complete shitshow.Always the same group of coastal American goyim and their yid handlers.
>>741376654So long gay bowser
>>741379087>soulless animalsOtherwise known as PCfags.
>>741382794>You're reaching with the single most well-known and successful MMO ever made which is PC-exclusiveUh huh.
>>741392901Ugly female protagonists can't launch franchises. They can only parasitize previous games with male protagonists or hot female protagonists, generally with diminishing returns, and it's still a gamble.The reason why they can't launch franchises is because nobody wants that shit.
>>741391675Wow, only decades of draining PCattle wallets, such savvy consumers.
>>741377720Time for you Counter-Strike lootbox rolls, sis. Go lower your cortisol.
>>741396612>>741396669Thank you for the Gold kind stranger!Big Plus!
>>741376654>Somehow PCissies want you to believe their dead platform is the primary platform for MarathonMake it make sense, 3rdies. Either scenario makes Marathon a success.>if PC dominant>it would make it one of the only Sony games to sell well>if Console dominant>Steam chart go straight into the trashMarachads… i kneel.
>>741396931It didn't sell well anywhere.
>>741386118The PC ports exist to make the cinematic walking goyslop or GaaS games look good, or to satisfy contractual obligations with third parties, or to help developers in their good graces (Insomiacs' Ratchet and Clank was allowed probably because it helps the same studio doing the pozzed Spiderman/Wolverine sequels)A game like Bloodborne gets 7m sales for its initial PS4 launch, actually outsells TLOU2 or Days Gone in the same period, but one of these gets no marketing, no post release support, while another gets its sequel rejected for not enough pozz but still gets to be ported, while another gets a massive marketing budget and tons of console bundles (in Asia they were desperate enough to bundle it with the Switch). With Horizon it's even more egregious with not only console bundles but Switch ports and Genshin Impact crossovers too...Sony of California wants to create the impression these games "sell a lot of copies" and "recoup their budget", and while they get to cook the books for the console release and can lie and count bundles and discounts, they need that money.When it's something that would benefit from a port like Dreams (which had most of the PC work ready but rejected) or Team Ico games with awful framerates, but makes their current direction "look bad" then the PC port existence is inconvenient. When the PC ports and their public metrics expose how massive their failures are, especially Concord, or the niggerth rerelease of the last of us, then these ports are inconvenient to the americans and don't make sense for the nips back in charge, so you get ghost of yotei ports cancelled.
>>741396931I donated to the Aleph One team instead
>>741389851Yes because it's actually a fucking game. It's literally the only port people actually want from PS and that's why they refuse to do it.
>>741377876>>741395991Why would they crawl back if the PC push never made a dent in the first place? It's simply not worth losing the exclusivity over the paltry sales.
>>741376654>retardSony left PC because they're trying to build a Playstation only library for when they release the PS5
>>741397123It's been that way since the original God of War by the way.The amount of marketing that was poured into those mediocre piles of shit was unreal.
>>741377250Funny seeing Shift Up abandon Sony from a combination of seeing the PC sales and having all that Nikke money now.
>>741397241GoW has legitimate fans that you can meet out in the wild. I doubt that it needs any book-cooking. I say this as someone who wishes that the public was smart enough to see the writing on the wall the moment that it got DEI-ified. I don't buy that Horizon did Call of Duty numbers for half a second, though. I've never had someone start talking to me about how amazing Horizon is out of the blue, and literally (correct me if I'm wrong) every other big budget original IP game with an objectively ugly female protagonist has bombed.
>>741380558Sony made Shift Up censor the game. That's what I believe is a significant reason they're self-publishing now. Sony should have stayed in their lane and they probably could have at least still had a timed exclusive.
>>741397795>I don't buy that Horizon did Call of Duty numbersIt did, it had gwaphics and was heavily marketed while everyone on Xbox was moving to the PS4.The sequel though? Fuck noEvery PS5 game sequel has been nothing but diminishing returns.> I've never had someone start talking to me about how amazing Horizon is out of the blueIt's not, it's a mediocre pile of shit, but so was GoW.GoW just has the nostalgia factor for retarded millennials.
>>741377125Why did the Gook studio partner with Sony? I'm just curious is all, feels like a game that could have done well everywhere. Probably to help fund development, which is fair.
>>741397384It's a survival strategy. The game targets gooners, among others. Sony could have censored stuff at any point during development but chose to make a big show of it right before release for both blood and clothes, AND since they were the publisher and platform holder the developers were very limited in how to salvage their PR and not alienate their player base, like what happened with Dead or Alive chasing the SJW and FGC tastes, only for these to lead them on enough to alienate their fans then go "nope, still too trashy and too basic for my tastes". It even caused safety issues for the Stellar Blade devs because they're gooks and feminism isn't exactly hot and popular there. The Stellar Blade devs got away with it when they took charge of their communication and did some damage control, promised to add some costumes that resemble the censored designs, and then the PC launch had similar issues caused by Sony (Denuvo, unlike Sony's moviegames, no marketing, nothing), the localization quality was subpar for other languages and would be normally rejected but Sony flat out didn't care and this wasn't an issue with Nikke or other Sony games. Besides the lack of marketing, they missed out on the Switch, and the gaming press was flat out hostile. Only benefit was the funding which they no longer need.To begin with it was Shuhei Yoshida's initiative before he was fired and before Japan Studios were shut down.
>>741395065MMOs requiring a subscription predates that.Maple Story originated loot boxes.Team Fortress 2 caused it to blow up.
>>741398104Despite what you hear about Gooks mostly playing Blizzards shit games, most Gooks are Sony cultists.Sony giving them money and early access to PS5 dev tools helped a lot too, see >>741394120
>>741376949They didn't even put the games people actually wanted. No Demon's Souls, no Bloodborne, no PS2 HD collections, not even fucking Knack.

why did they not release bloodborne for pc holy fuckWHY!?!?!?
>>741398512It's already on PC for a good while now, anon, and it runs even better than on ps5, are you living under a rock or something?
>>741398468>MMO's were mostly great gamesFuck noMMOs were social sims with terrible gameplay design made for retards who gave no shits about immersion or gameplay.MMOs were literally never good and I say this as someone who has not bought a console in 22 fucking years.
>>741376654PC chads… I kneel…
>>741376654I just wish they did this after Gravity Rush and Bloodborne were on PC. Like 10 years and those are still the only two games anyone off the playstation gives a fuck about. Nobody cares about over-the-shoulder grey cinematic action-adventure with stealth and crafting elements. Oh well, emulation works fine. Not amazing, but fine for both.
>>741398628emulation doesn't count..
>>741398628>are you living under a rock or something?I'm white so I don't emulate.
>>741398667
>>741398759>>741398775
>>741398876Only browns emulate, faggot. At least use your meme right.
>>741398713>Oh well, emulation works fine. Not amazing, but fine for both.I'm getting 60fps on bloodborne on an old gtx 1050ti that cost me 1/8th of a PS5's price, meanwhile the PS5 isn't strong enough to run this past 30fps with terrible frametimes, I'd say this is more than fine considering the age of this gpu and that it beats a ps5, never would've thought a gtx 1050ti would beat a ps5's gpu in horsepower
>>741398972Kill yourself you bootlicking newfaggot. Crying about piracy let alone fucking emulation did not happen on this board before it got taken over by subhuman filth like you. Seriously kill yourself
>>741398361WTF? I hate gooks now.
>make story focused movie-game>release them on pc 3 years later>ask for full priceyeah no shit retardgive me infamous, give me gravity rush, ape escape, 3D dot game heroes, those atelier games who aren't yet on steam, the original demon's souls, grand turismo 5but no, those retard will give me GOW 2018 (aka GOW 6) and not the good LBA games
>>741398972>Only browns emulateBrowns don't even know how to emulate, it's why they use consoles, they can't even work with a folder file system they're so low IQ.
>>741398628>runs even better than on ps5I got a PS5 Pro cheap and tried this 'holy grail' game and it was still sub 30 FPS shit. No optimizations whatsoever for the new hardware.
I wouldn't call anti-piracy shills brown. I'm actually not sure what I'd call a "person" like that. It's kind of unbelievable to me that someone could be that fucking pathetic and find 4chan.>bro they're trolling youIf you spam retarded shit for years, when does it stop being "trolling" and just become your personality?
>>741399269>Browns don't even know how to emulate
>>741399326I don't even think the issue is optimization, the PS5 is just too weak and can't handle it, even the pro is not enough, for 4k gaming, you really want a PC
>>741398062The reason why Call of Duty sells so well is because of the social factor. You can't miss out on playing multiplayer with all of your friends from work/school! Horizon doesn't have that. Also, whenever a game breaks even a couple million copies, you're going to have people talking about it out in public. 20M+? You should randomly hear people talking about Horizon everywhere you go. What I'm getting at is that other things that see those kinds of numbers have more than GRAFFIX and also benefit from some form of positive word-of-mouth.When I see things that don't make sense and the information is coming from people who love to lie, I assume that the reason why it doesn't make sense is because it's a lie. Especially when you can see an underlying agenda like having a banner to fly when pushing their political agenda on the industry.
>>741399401>but e-celeb!Dude, you're not wanted on this site. Fuck off.
>>741399486>d-doesn't count!I won.
>>741399447What I mean is I don't even think the system tried running it at 4K, it just ran it as if it was PS4 software. It was abysmal.I have a 5070TI and a baller CPU, I could play it it at 4K60 using SHAD, I just thought I would try legit first. Waste of my time.
>>741399572Self reply, YES I did have the PS4 Boost mode on.
>>741376654>Capcom says their games sell great on PC and they're focusing on it as their primary platform now>Sony stops and says their games don't sell on PCCurious. Very curious. Maybe Schreier needs to write an article about how Capcom needs more white managers so they can be as successful as Sony

>>741376794/thread
>>741399451Bundles, marketing and being one of the first big Sony published new exclusive IPs did most of the work.Sony having no competition from Nintendo or Xbox helped a lot as well.None of it applies nowadays, it was a completely different market in 2017.>>741399401>Brownoid gets to play Bloodborne on his PC at 60 FPS>Brownoids on PS5 still asking for a patchAll is right in the world
>>741377037What's funny is that Uncharted 4's port wasn't THAT bad, so it's crazy Iron Galaxy somehow fucked up a near same-engine port.
>>741377538>one game vs every single game that isnt f2p retard
>>741399673Understood. But this is the game all Snoys hold on tightest to as their crown jewel. Embarrassing. I wanted to enjoy it. And I've been having fun with some Sony games since I got a year of free PS Essential and that library so I'm not even fanboying.
>>741394986just build a working ps3 emulator and sell games for 10 buck eachyou would make billions overnight
>>741376654sony exclusive games only get sold for being in bundles.
>>741400187They were making billions anyways, obviously thats not "enough" according to them
>>741400160I bought a used ps4 basic and platinum'd BB earlier this year, I didn't really notice anything other than my console sounding like an airplane.
>>741400607I guess after getting used to at least 1440P, minimum 120 FPS I just can't handle games like BB as they are 'intended'. I admit it's very much a me problem.
>>741376654beautiful. voting with your wallet works! if you don't buy the movieslop they stop making it. our choices mattered all along.
>>741376794How can they be so good for console players but not pc? Is the audience really that different?
>>741400984Consolefags are trapped in a walled garden and have to cope with whatever shit their masters allow them to slurp up
I don't think they ever had the intention of dipping into the PS5s limited library and selling those exclusives especially considering the PS5 is still relevantWe already got most of the PS4s library so there really isnt anything more to dip into until the end of the ps5 lifespan
>>741400984>Is the audience really that different?Yes despite some overlap in big mainstream third party games, being stuck to a closed ecosystem means you get peddled and marketed whatever their next piece of shit product is.Look at Android and Iphone.Applefaggots will buy anything their company puts out because they're stuck with whatever the company tells them they're stuck with, same with consolefags.>YOU JUST HAVE TO BUY THE NEXT PRODUCT KILLER APP WE MADE FOR OUR CONSOLE/PHONE
>>741376654>We need more money!>IDEA>Release less games on fewer platforms!>GENIUS!
>>741376654hopefully they will just go completely bankrupt soon and fuck off from gaming completely. same with xbox. Fuck consoles
>>741401398SanFran tech geeks and instagram rat race brainrotted goycattle gobble up Apple's precum, but the average iFag buys one every like 5-6 years, it's not an especially notable turnaround for smartphones.

>>741402006I pirated Days Gone and uninstalled 3 hours inI still remember playing TLoU at a friends BBQ party and he closed the lights and made everyone popcorn.Pure slop
>>741399661because Capcom did things to pander to the PC audience.>day 1 releases>constant discounts>good well running PC portsThis builds a loyal trusting PC fanbase over time. Capcom is properly strategizing as a publisher. The issue with Sony is that their games are full priced, released years later, sometimes the ports arent even good which trains PC gamers to not buy their games until it's way cheaper. Also Sony themselves are a platform holder which require exclusives to keep their platform selling. Platform holders have different priorities from publishers and at the end of the day they'd rather strengthen their console business than sell more games.
>>741401531>Fuck consolesYeah there really is no reason for them anymore
>They didn't make enough money
>>741402306It's amazing just how badly they fumbled Helldivers 2How do you fuck up that hard?They finally had the live service slop they wanted so bad and they did everything they could to boycott it.What a corporate hellhole that must be
>>741377257>release movie games on pc 5-10+ years late>Why did these INCELS not buy the rehashed port of a 2-5hour, $80+ dollar cinematic experience, you can all ready watch on youtube for free?Fixed to be a little more accurate representation of the reality for Sony execs.
>>741376654I feel like the main issue with this is Sony's hardware really is a no games box, unless they have those $79.99 ($129.99 for the digital deluxe collector's edition) single-player cinematic experiences.They were flirting dangerously with closing out their hardware side.With the price of components, I could see the next playstation being stripped down to a mostly online only stream box for your high-latency HBO blockbuster hits.You will pay Sony $29.99 a month to play such games.
>>741402972What's going to happen to Sony is the same that's going to happen with every AAA company.They're going to contract (since they've been dilating all this time).You're going to see massive layoffs and you're going to see smaller games.
>>741376654>porting years old games instead of same day releases>abysmally poor quality of ports>porting their movie game slop instead of the one game everyone on earth has been asking forit really is a mystery
>>741400984Mustards have way higher standards. E.g. them crying over things being locked at 60 FPS while console people talk about 24 FPS being cinematic.
>>741379630It's unbelievable how lazy I feel just thinking about playing one of those games; I'm sure I'll spend most of my time being led by the hand to the next NPC rather than actually playing the game.GTA sells millions for that reason; it's perhaps the only AAA game where you can do more than just follow the script of a frustrated filmmaker who ended up working in video games.
>>741403297Movies should be rendered at 48 frames per second as well.Even moreso considering most Hollywood slop is nothing but color filters and CGI.
>>741377445Yeah, the main issue is that most Sony games are just very polished, but otherwise bad games. I have no idea why retards who don't want to play those titles keep making up excuses.
>>741377847>porting things does not take effortOk, retard. Open a porting studio and enjoy being rich then.
>>741376654>What went wrong on PC for Sony?It' simple, their "goty's" are mid games at bestWhen they left their walled garden kiddie pool machine and had to compete with the wiiiiide pc gaming ocean they drowned.
>>741377917>Their ports cost virtually nothing to make. The made hundreds of millions in additional revenue with no effort.That's obviously not true.
>>741403494>Open a porting studio and enjoy being rich then.QLOC and Nixxes are doing pretty well
>>741380391Stellar Blade is just as associated with Sony as Helldivers 2 is. I'm sure there is nothing to notice that the two biggest "Sony titles" don't come from first party studios.
>>741377824That piece of shit is already on PC.
>>741376654>I wonder why
>>741402259now if Capcom could fuck fix optimizing games we are good and don't you fuck tell me the console are holding that back because that's bullshit when they run shit on PC builds as well.
Oh no, what will PC ever do without this goty?
>>741403545Its absolutely true Shuhei Yoshida admitted as much only about a year ago"It was like printing money" is the exact term he used
>>741384446Tell that to Capcom.
>>741399923Not to defend them but I am sure Uncharted 4 is closer to TLOU PS4 than to TLOU part 1 for PS5
>>741384612I think they were trying to sabotage it, because it's the Sony live service game they have the least amount of involvement with while also being the only successful one.
>>741377876Crawl back to what? We've seen the numbers from the Insomniac leaks and those weren't taking into account the past two years. Every single new release had declined in sales heavily and consistently, a bunch of them not even passing a million copies sold. Helldivers 2, HZD, the two God of War games, Ghost of Sushi, Stellar Blade, and Days Gone were their major successes and by "Major successes" most of those are around 3ish million copies. The numbers are also a year or more after their release so sales likely played into some of them. Everything else underperformed heavily with Spidey, R&C, and TLoU being some big examples. I have to imagine Spidey 2 underperforming was what convinced them to stop.HZD succeeded because it was the first port so it had hype going into it and both HFW and Lego Horizon did significantly worse.God of War was the second or third port if I remember right so it was still riding on HZD's wave.Stellar Blade specifically succeeded because of the Chinese market if I remember right, they bought it like crazy compared to everyone else so it's arguably a pretty big outlier by comparison to the rest of the games they brought over.Days Gone was a surprise success on PC primarily pushed by word of mouth once it released (Not sure if it was because of the initial PS4 word of mouth or the PC word of mouth but it basically became a bigger hit during the PS4 and spread from there so it might just be a rolling effect from that).Ghost of Sushi succeeded because of the word of mouth coming from Playstation.Returnal did about as well as on PS5 at a time when no one could even obtain a PS5 but everyone had a PC so that's not a great sign for PC specifically.Helldivers 2 was the actual major success for them which is likely why they're not ignoring multiplayer because we know Marathon was also like 1 million PC to PS5's 300k and Xbox's 100k or something like that but you can also excuse that because Marathon is a PC series.
>>741385496Because reliable insider information is how he pushes his jewish politics, you retard. You don't know anything except "small hat bad" which you blindly repeat in order to fit in.
>>741376654snoys are on a historical loss streak
>>741390467We buy good games. Capcom reported record profits from PC releases.
Now is the time to apologize to PCfaggums.
>>741376654Maybe if you ported the PS3 God of War games I'd buy them, but NO, let's port third person over the shoulder movie slop instead! Fuck you.
>>741402261>Because I want eternal sales or the ability to pirate on pc!It's been decades of this shit and the plot never changes. You might get your wish and consoles will die. What comes next is a hellscape of control no one is prepared for. You'll pay the subscription and own absolutely nothing including the hardware. pc will be a console with multiple subscriptions attached.
>>741404164They're hysteric, my favorite is the autist making anti Steam and anti Nintendo threads on the daily.
>>741392014Wow, if analysts agree with you there is no way that you could be dumb and wrong.
>>741404203Isn't it cool how you can post two contradictory sentences next to each other?
>>741404260
>>741376654not very surprising, they always waited way too long to port the games and most had already played them on their PS4s anyway. not a huge loss anyway, sony AAA has been extremely same-y and boring for awhile now anyway.
>>741404303>hellscape of controlLiterally what consoles have been since the 360 days.Microsoft pushed consoles as living room PCs they control and consolefags ate it up line hook and sink while they pushed "PC gaming is dead" articles.Enjoy! I'll enjoy my decentralized pirated library!
>>741404390
>>741394210>That would be the smart thingYeah, I'm sure doing the thing that EA, Epic, Ubisoft, Activision and Microsoft tried and failed with is the smart thing. Anon, every time you think you're smarter than somebody else it's actually because you're retarded.
>>741376654>games that are released years later>none of them are the ones that people wanted>none of them are priced reasonably>"what the fuck why aren't you being good consoomers, I'm leaving and you don't deserve anything good"Many such cases.
>>741404570diablo 2 isn't even a PC exclusive anymore
>>741376654PC gamers have a wider selection of games so we are less likely to buy console slop. Also we're much less likely to buy movie games which came out console exclusive a year ago and everyone knows what happened already.
>>741394437There is also the issue with Sony's not caring enough to make sure their PSN stuff works across the globe. >>741394834Yeah, Sony is dumb. All the other companies who did exactly that and failed don't count because you are larping as an expert right now.
>>741376949In the time between the console release and PC release the hype has almost certainly died so there's far fewer people interested in playing a PC version.Nobody was really excited for God of War, Horizon or Uncharted PC releases.
>>741404742All video games are PC exlusives.
>>741404792No one was really excited for those to begin with to be honest. They are shit games after all.
>>741404792What hype? Hype for what?
>>741404792>Nobody was really excited for God of War, Horizon or Uncharted PC releases.But the sales of both GoW games and HZD on PC disproves that. They were the best sellers according to the Insomniac leaks.>Horizon Zero Dawn: 3.3 million>God of War (2018): 2.5 million>Days Gone: 1.7 million copiesand that was at the time of the Insomniac leak.
>>741396931>retarded either or that only makes sense to a fanboyI like how you faggots keep swapping between "ree PC too expensive" and "ree PC thirdies".
>>741404696>>741404779None of those companies are SonyEpic with their creative freedom and piles of money could have done it if they played their cards right but they went into it in the dumbest way possible. If Sony had ports or even emulation of older games, plus newer games 1 year after release the platform would be solid and their games would sell well.Minecraft, Tarkov and Roblox didn't need Steam to succeed, they just needed to offer value, none of those companies did.
>>741398628People don't want to actually play it, they want to be a part of the movement who wants the game to be ported. It's a group activity thing.
>>741404963Don't forget to post this image everytime some consolecuck falseflags or posts about PC hardware being too expensive.
>>741405097
>>741400984absolutely. you don't see sports games as big on PC
>>741404792Why are people so aggressively trying to defend the honor of those hyper cinematic movie games? I think they didn't sell well on PC because Playstation is the last place where people want stuff like that.
>>741376654Releasing the PC ports long after the console releases tends to do that.
Isnt it ironic that all the games they ported to PC were the games they had to give away for free to boost sales numbers?
>>741404792I bought U4 mostly because I didn't buy a PS4 for it. So I'm thankful to Sony for that.But they REALLY should've ported U1-3 before it. While you can emulate them, a native port is always better.
they are righti played all those games for freethat is the way of the pc
>>741405458Stellar Blade also took a whole yearNobody on PC gives a fuck about Snoy exclusives.I fucking hate Hollyjew movies and their "games" are just that with somehow worse writing and voice acting.I saw that terrible Spielberg ET spiritual sequel at the cinema with some family and I was more entertained with that than a modern Snoy moviegame.I want a videogame to be a fucking videogame, I want a cool sandbox not a fucking linear sequence of liberal arts propaganda.Sony shit sells on Sony consoles because their fanbase are brand loyal cultists.Somehow even Ninpendos are better because nobody bought that pile of shit that was Metroid Prime 4.If it was Snoy exclusive though? BEST GAME EVER!!!
>>741405694>He bothered to pirate themlol
>>741400984>Is the audience really that different?There is overlap (a lot of ports between the two can be successful) but the demands/wants between the two are VASTLY different when it comes to performance, freedom of choice, mod-ability, etc.
>>741405736>Sony shit sells on Sony consoles because their fanbase are brand loyal cultists.ThisEverybody I know who owns a PlayStation just blindly buys everything Sony shits out then never touches the fucking thing again it just collects dust, most are sports fags that play fifa and madden only too
>>741400984For your game to be successful on Steam it need to appeal to China and Sony games aren't appealing to the chinks.
>>741404779>There is also the issue with Sony's not caring enough to make sure their PSN stuff works across the globe.this is a reddit & pirate nation fabrication. payments are not supported in local currencies. but you can make a PSN account in any country from any country. there is no changing that later (region hoping) but there is also no IP lock. PC fags are dishonest liars.
>>741405931>Everybody I know who owns a PlayStation just blindly buys everything Sony shits outsaros and concord and marathon flopped
>>741400984Console are limited by what their daddy allowed them to play
>>741400984
>>741394215Xbox's bigger problem is that they're fighting for the same audience as sony and every time xbox loses that battle that audience has less of a reason to swap to xbox.Even if xbox never ported a single game to PC most of their games aren't popular enough to be system sellers, most people would simply not give a fuck. They need a better angle than 'our x86 plastic box has halo and gears of war'.It's basic business, if you can't be better then be different.

It's probably a good thing I've never ran into Nishino, Hulst, or even Hirai. They've been running their actual games (what games lol) division into the ground by making bigger and fewer movie games instead of building a diverse portfolio like they did in the first couple generations and even from 2008 to 2012. It just went to shit since Tretton left.
>>741376654If they released their games immediately on PC instead of pulling a timed exclusive where most people would have already lost interest by the time the game gets ported to PC, they would've been as successful as Capcom.Even Square Enix has wised up and is planning on releasing FF7R Part 3 without any timed exclusives on PC.
Yet they STILL release multiplayer games on pc. Cause they know nobody buys shit on Playstation and they wanna atleast use the pc user base to keep the people who play on ps5 engaged through cross play.Lmao.
>>741407141It was the first of the Snoy ports so the novelty had some people buying just to find out what the all the buzz was about.>>741407346>I dont care, i just wanted to play it dont really care about comics. Seemed like a fun 10-15 hour gamelmao
I'm very sure they're aware of the real reason it's not selling well on PC. They just don't want to release them simultaneously because it'd be admitting complete defeat.
>>741407465Oh yeah, to really finish my thought, each of them has made at least one major fuck up that I don't think many if anyone had really held them accountable for. I would certainly yell at them for how frustrating it is to see them mismanage the company and the intellectual properties they squander.
>>741407614They already admitted complete defeat after bowing down to PC gods and removing the Helldivers 2 Playstation account requirement.Not even their shit eating fans have that power.
>>741405581Bro, the Horizon numbers thrown around are for either for Zero Dawn or the entire franchise and include every port or remaster. People never catch that.
>>741390467Yet you can't afford a PC.

>>741400984>Is the audience really that different?
reminder that Sony thinks Spiderman and GoW are worth $60 and $50 despite being released EIGHT years ago. they can fuck off honestly
>>741400984It is literally sunk cost fallacy, they buy their cuckbox, they have to pay a fee to be able to use the internet on it, so they HAVE to like the "games"
How do you actually remain a Sony fan in this time? Every game they release looks boring or shitty. Any news related to them is them becoming more anti-consumer or trying to appeal to literal fags. Despite all the console war faggotry, most every other company is doing at least somewhat okay (with the occasional shotgun to their own face) while Sony just seems to be the lame duck that more and more people are abandoning. They can barely even keep their loyal fans since they either abandon their most beloved franchises or rape them into something unrecognizable. Who the fuck is still supporting Sony and why?
