I don't understand why people keep pushing this. 1) PS5 is going to sell out at launch regardless of exclusives; 2) these games have been built around PS4, so even if they could do a quick port, it wouldn't be a true display of the system's capabilities, they'd just like like PS4 games running better.
Now, if they also announced enhanced versions of the game on PS5 (that is, PS5 versions that will make the game better than it will be just by playing it via B...
I see what you are saying, but except for a few select games that catch on and have tremendous sales "legs" (think Minecraft, GTA 5, Skyrim, maybe Witcher 3), the first few months that a game is out is going to be when it sells most of its copies. So there is a big difference between "this console game is also on PC day one" and " if I wait a year, there's a 37% chance a PC port of this console game will get announced." Granted, I'm sure there will be som...
So good reviews from real sites and a bad review from Polygon? Time to preorder.
Yeah, it's amazing how a game porting a game from PS4 to PC converts it from a "mediocre walking simulator" into a game of the year candidate.
Most of the "lol TLoU2 sux cuz some YouTubers said so" kind of died off about a week ago, man. You missed the train.
This makes sense. While I can understand the complaints on other platforms, the game looks as good as it is going to on the Switch already.
Eh. I mean some people aren't going to buy a console till later anyway, and they need to keep selling them each year. The number that are going to wait 3-4 years to play new games they want to play who would have purchased at launch but for the possibility of a refresh is going to be insignificant.
They're taking something that was true at the beginning of the generation and acting like it was never fixed, which it was. I guess Skyrim being screwed up is a late gen game that suffered, although that was the devs screwing up the save system to mess with the games memory (which is why it only messed up after you played a certain amount of time, the game didn't actually run worse from the start).
Lol except you are literally describing the first 2-3 years of PS3. Once devs figured it out things were good. Don't get me wrong, I remember the issues in 2007 when multiplatform games came out late on PS3 and ran worse, but this just ceased to be an issue later.
No surprise. The conclusion a lot of people have been coming to is that physical is going to become a niche like it is for other forms of media.
I'm not going to be one of the people who pretends it's not a good game, as I see that very much as a performance people put on to show how "hardcore" they are. If Skyrim had sold 5-10 million copies rather than 30+ million (that is, if it had been popular with "gamers" but not become known to the "mainstream") I have no doubt that it would be undisputed as one of the great games of all time, roughly like BioShock. However, I don't understand the poin...
I'd love to see a dev come out and treat this as a commitment: "our games will be $70 but will not include MTs." Honestly I think that was actually the message being sold, people would get behind it.
PC Players: Sony exclusives are all cookie cutter third person action games that don't do anything that hasn't already been done on PC ten years earlier.
Sony Announces or even hints that a former PS exclusive will come to PC.
PC Gamers: OMG, finally Horizon is coming to PC, let's all preorder it! Who needs PlayStation when we get their games anyway!
To be fair, their pro-360 bent at the beginning of that gen was driven by money, but they backed up their talk.
Everyone's takeaway is "oh, that's why Epic has been praising Sony and PS5 so much recently." Which, fair enough. But what I fail to see is how it's a bad thing for a platform to be intimately associated with one of the premier game engine studios. Putting aside all PR nonsense, it seems like a really good thing that will result in better Unreal optimization for Sony than they would have gotten otherwise.
I probably would have given the edge to the first BioShock last generation. TLOU 2 might be the first game to surpass it in terms of attention to detail and environmental storytelling (granted there are genres I don't play, so if some JRPG is in the mix, I wouldn't know).
While I don't believe for a second that this guy owned PS3 and not PS4 (because I don't believe anyone who stuck around for PS3 switched after that, everyone was switching the other direction that gen), I agree with the point. BC should be a feature of the system, not a paid service.
Exactly. Just admit defeat on PS3 BC and give us everything else.
I've bought every PlayStation and am going to by PS5 via pre-order if I can jump on it before they sell out. But I can't understand why it is so hard for them to get that streaming is not the answer. And I get that it might be the only solution for PS3 games, and I'm willing to begrudgingly accept that (even though the PC emulation community has proven that PS3 emulation is viable), but PS1, PS2, and PS4 games should all run natively, no excuses.
Sounds like a 25ish hour game for me, which is fine. TLOU2 was almost exactly 25 hours for me, but I plan to play this one at a more leisurely pace than that one.
