@PuppetMaster based Kenji reader, that series, Virtua Fighter and Shenmue are what got me to take up Bajiquan for many years. There's a sequel out now supposedly

Not a big deal personally, Alyx is the greatest game I've ever played and it really feels like they put their all into it. When this releases in 2029 I don't doubt it'll be amazing too.

50 bucks isn't a budget price. The Talos Principle 2 launched at 30 bucks, that is a budget price.

@nessisonett I wouldn't worry, Gabe has said he has contingency plans for when he passes or retires and Eric Johnson doesn't seem that different from Gabe anyways and he's the most likely to take charge

The novelty of platform exclusivity will wear off too as things become more day-and-date

Put games on PC day 1 and see how much those numbers change

I would love to play Astro Bot on my steam deck

I suppose I will continue to wait then. I've enjoyed every Sony game that came to PC thus far but not enough to buy a console

I have no interest in buying a console for its exclusives. Ever. I'm not a PCMR elitist but I have no interest in buying a locked-down system that plays games exponentially worse than my PC and where I also have to pay for online. If Playstation (and other systems) games don't come to PC I will never buy those games, plain and simple. By ignoring the market that appeals to me and potentially millions of others, Sony is straight up losing tons of money.

But, I have bought and fully played, Uncharted 4, both Spider-Man games, and The Last of Us Part 1. I thought they were all fantastic. I also bought Horizon: Zero Dawn and God of War but I haven't got to them yet. I'm really excited for Ghost of Tsushima. I don't think releasing games on PC reduces the quality of the brand, rather it improves it by allowing people to play PS games on the systems that they want to.

I think Sony's Playstation PC strategy is great and I would love it if Nintendo would follow suit.

Why these mid-gen upgrades/refreshes aren't the base launch system is beyond me

Day 1 purchase. I've enjoyed every PC release of Sony's that I've played so far.

Also for anyone thinking Sony would make their own storefront, just look at what happens with Epic/Ubisoft/EA. They can do it but it won't end well for them if the game isn't at least on Steam.

@sop I hate using my oculus quest and I absolutely want the PSVR2 for PCVR exclusively. I do agree that Alyx should be on PlayStation before that though.

I feel like this is something they, Sony and Nintendo should have done by now.

@Rayman123 endgame is to be able to play the next Zelda game on my steam deck natively.

@Rayman123 Nintendo games should be on all platforms too

I wonder if the PS fan base will change their tune on day-and-date exclusives when they start getting Xbox games day 1.

More pc ports, more psvr2 games, that's about it

I wonder if us Linux users will ever be considered part of the community.

Hey as long as the PC version has an unlocked frame rate I'm good. It's great that there's at least an option to choose for the console

@belmont Valve being independent from Microsoft is the one thing keeping MS from having a complete monopoly on PC gaming and also gives people an out from even needing Windows at all with Proton.

if Valve were acquired by Microsoft then I would quit gaming for life

My friend says 16 is the best that Final Fantasy has been in years, I can't wait to play it on PC. Hopefully the Keyboard and Mouse support is as good as XVs was.

@4kgk2 and that's 1 million sales that never would have been made had it never come to Xbox. Another 1-2 million never would have been made had it never come to PC/Steam. I doubt Square would be willing to just drop those systems for an exclusivity deal and leave out millions of sales.

Although I say that but Kingdom Hearts 3 still has yet to come to Steam...

@theSpectre the series also wouldn't survive solely on PlayStation either, this isn't the ps1 era anymore.

Good, Audeze make some of the best headphones on planet, nothing beats planars (except maybe electrostatics). I'm curious to see if this will lead to mor affordable planars outside of Monoprice and lower end Hifiman sets.

*for the next 6 months to a year

Are playstation users seriously complaining about console exclusives? Seriously?

I've never played Ratchet and Clank before so I'll definitely be picking this up when it hits PC.

As long as they make it over here I don't really care when, I have a backlog of hundreds of games to keep me busy. But I'm not buying a PS5 Jim, sorry.

@XenonKnight lol no, I'm a PC gamer and I'd like to play with my playstation friends if possible.

@MattBoothDev there's alot more to this than just "consoles are easier to optimize for than PC"

I think Sony could still do a traditional handheld. Let's say they do an ARM-based machine, and Sony gets their first party developers to cross-compile and optimize their titles for ARM, you could have a machine that could play the same games as a PS5 but with obviously downgraded graphics, although maybe not that downgraded depending on the quality of the hardware.

The biggest problem at that point would be third-party titles, but x86-Arm interpretors are getting better each year so that might not even be an issue.

I use ARM BTW because it's more power efficient and easier to cool than x86.

@Itachi2099 that would have been relevant when it first released but millions own a steam deck now.

Oh and Spiderman and Miles Morales, those were amazing on PC too

For those of you begging Sony to give up on PC after this, stfu. I never would've played The Last of Us, Horizon, Uncharted or God of War (haven't gotten around to Days Gone or Sackboy yet) without their PC ports.

And no, I don't think exclusives are a good enough reason to get a console, exclusivity itself has lost all of it's value over the last 20+ years as the industry has become mainstream and the common gamer knows what systems they prefer.

And if these games great enough for Sony to make them first-party (which I think they are) then I want to play them at their very best, on PC with all the extra goodies like kb/M, ultrawide and high refresh rate and whatnot. I'm perfectly fine waiting for TLOU part 2, (I was never in the hater gang), GoW Ragnorok, Horizon Forbidden West and Final Fantasy 16 to hit PC so they can be at their full glory, provided the port is good, which is the real pressing matter here.

Works on Linux too, Sony themselves even made the kernel driver for it.

Make it work with PCVR and you'll get many, many more sales as there's no truly great PCVR-only headset at the price of the PSVR 2.

I hate Facebook with a passion. If Sony can get PSVR2 working with PCVR it'll be an instant buy for me

I'm a PC-only Linux gamer and I used to root for Microsoft because they promised all their games on PC, but stuff like this really makes me think Microsoft are overstepping their boundaries with demands like this.

Let them get bought out. As long as I can play final fantasy on pc that's all that matters to me

Why devs are still locking framerates at all in 2022 is beyond me. IMO every game should have an unlocked framerate.

People won't mind this but will soy rage when PS games come to PC, guarantee it.

Regardless I'm all for this because I have a friend who only plays on Playstation that I've wanted to get into half life for a while and I would love to get them this.

I don't want to spend 500+ bucks on a system I don't even want just to play a couple games. I'd rather wait a year for them to come to PC so I can have them in my steam library where all the rest of my games are. I would not be buying these games if they didn't come to pc.

Sony keeping their games exclusively on Playstation would actually be a barrier between them and my money so this is a win-win for us both

I have no interest in buying a console but my friend said this have is great. I'll definitely pick it up

Hopefully we can also expect more pc ports

I agree with his meta verse opinions, but VR games are basically the only kind of games I'm interested in from now on

In all serious this sucks, it's bad enough Microsoft are the industry standard for everything outside of gaming, now they also want to be the only player in gaming. I'm a Linux user and hate Microsoft with every fiber of my being for how anti-competitive and cancerous they've become in the computer industry

They should buy Playstation next :^)

I think the last of us part 3 should be an Xbox exclusive

I hope people honestly don't think that exclusives are the main selling point for a console, and if you do, you're definitely not Sony's target audience, lmao.

@Col_McCafferty well Sony is clearly happy for me, can't wait for Nintendo to join them
