Monitors don't make for good theater screens
heh
good one, but their most cinematic "games" sell gangbuster, and the one that that bombs is the most gamey they offer
This joke doesn't work when Ratchet and Clank is the least "movie game" of all the Sony IPs they've ported and the one that sold the worst. So I guess they do make for good theatre screens you dumb c**t.
PC gays are known to samegay.
>it doesn't count!!
seethe
moron
lol. cope harder troony lover
The more I go on this site the more I feel like PCgays are the actual dumbest fricking posters. It doesn't count because it literally isn't a movie game you fricking single celled organist. Fricking BOTW is more of a movie game than that is.
>gets mind-broken so hard xe retorts to insulting Nintendo for no reason
Yikes! I guess this was to be expected from a Snoy after all. How sad.
Watching you banter with that guy into seething has been entertaining but doesn't change the fact that you got btfo
If you want a serious answer, then it's the same answer that's been true since ps1. People only play shit like Ratchet, Jak and daxter, crash bandicoot, spyro, etc because there's nothing else to play on sony systems. No one who plays real games gives a shit about them.
Been saying it for over 2 decades now. No one even fricking emulates sony mascot shite. They emulate mario, a game people want to play.
Tell me about some real games, then.
His song just reached 100M on youtube
except the movie games actually sell well and actual video games like ratchet and clank flop like this. the real reason is that platformers are a dead genre unless you're a sonic autist and ratchet is a dead franchise.
More like Ratchet and Clank hasn't been relevant in a decade. Sonic games are ass but at least the characters are still somewhat relevant.
Nice
have a nice day, pedogay
holy based
this. give me gravity rush and TLG
These jokes aren't funny anymore now that you can actually play God of War on PC and see for yourself that it's not a "movie game." You're being stubborn.
God of Soi is 100% a mediocre movie game interspersed by bad combat chipping away at HP sponges and RPG lite mechanics as deep as a puddle
I was curious so I checked google trends. Here are my findings. "Movie game" as applied to God of War is a cope of historical proportions.
If you weren't coping yourself, you wouldn't include jaks. Jaktroony

It takes like 1h after you press play before you are given control of your character, also god of war has worse camera than ninja gaiden, i dont understand how that is possible in 2018

^ This.
Besides, Rift Apart is no classic. The actual classics are its predecessors, none of which are available on PC officially.
Yea the original three are classics.
DEADLOCKED/GLADIATOR was also pretty fun
Literally nobody asked for Ratchet & Clank. Nobody asked for or was hyped for Returnal or Sackboy either. They deliberately picked shit titles to port.
Now give us Bloodborne and Tsushima or frick off
Ratchet and clank is a great series but the new game a just a pretty little movie game with a feminist lead
This isn't the 2000s anymore. R&C is no longer that popular. Sony has been neglecting that franchise in favor of M-rated shooter movie games.
I don't even think R&C does that well on Playstation anymore, certainly nobody on Steam asked for it.
>This isn't the 2000s anymore. R&C is no longer that popular.
Ratchet was never popular.
it's a pretty classic PS2 series that just failed to properly adapt to future consoles, despite being seemingly easy to milk forever
It used to be relatively popular in the mid-2000s. Or at least that's how I remember it
The gameplay was still good, if not a bit stale since it's the same as the franchise has always been. But the story sucked so badly it basically killed any interest people had.
Rivet is cute, she isn't feminist.
Ratchet & Clank hasn't been good since the PS2.
Tsushima is confimed.
Bloodborne never ever, fromsoft probably lost the source code since there isn't even a 60 patch for PS4 pro or PS5
I'd suck a rusty wiener for a smooth-running Killzone on the PC with good Mouse and Keyboard control
Killzone wouldn't feel right with a kb+m. Maybe gyro would be alright but the weighty aiming of (the good) KZ games would play so fricking wrong with flickshots.
frick that, give me Warhawk
You are a man of good taste
I asked for Returnal. It's terribly optimized but it's fun
>Literally nobody asked for Ratchet & Clank.
Go frick yourself moron.
>Literally nobody asked for Ratchet & Clank.
This.
have a nice day, moron
Cope, Eric.
No one cares about your shitty furry game.
I'll probably pick up Sackboy on sale.
How about neither and instead some investment into actually good games, not just a recycled edgelord meme and rehashed muh Slopurai we've seen a hundred times already. I'm tired of the Japanese thing. Those fricks are boring and their culture is pure cringe.
I did and i day 1 purchased, best graphics ive seen, wish it had multibounce gi.
Get on your knees and beg harder. The true experience will always be on Sony consoles. Cope, seethe, dilate, neck, fade into obscurity.
Ah yes the true Sub-20fps authentic experience kek. Keep seething, moron
Keep Tsushitma, I want Returnal.
>I want Returnal
Then why haven't you bought it yet?
I mean that if I had to choose I'd rather have Returnal.
>Now give us Bloodborne and Tsushima or frick off
Nobody cares about Bloodborne. You are delusional.
who the frick is 'us'? I don't want more soulsslop, they can keep that shit. i'll take ghosts of tsushima and the first 2 littlebigplanet games though.
>assassin's creed, japan
8^O
Why the frick haven't they ported Dreams? That's the real question.
Rift Apart is legitimately a 6/10 game if you ignore the story and it's lower if you pay attention to the cutscenes. It's sad to see the state of this IP after playing the original trilogy on PS2.
>Now give us Bloodborne and Tsushima
never ever ever.
i'm a simple man and i want a port of tokyo jungle
i would ask for omega boost but i can alost run that on a emulator
I'd much rather have Returnal over Tsushima, but I'm sure as hell not paying $70 for it. Won't pay a cent over $20
Agree with Bloodborne but Returnal is a significantly better video game than Tsushima. That game is so fricking overrated I legitimately can't understand it.
I wanted Media Molecule's Dreams.
I have it on PS4 Pro and even in the pro version of PS4 it runs into limitations, let me create dreams with a fricking mouse and keyboard instead of a jittery gyro, and let me play the VR games people have made on my index cause I'm not buying a PSVR when I already have an index. I WOULD have bought a PS5 with a PSVR2 just for dreams and the other stuff on offer, but then they said you can't have backwards compatibility with PSVR1 games.
>I wanted Media Molecule's Dreams.
Just download C.O.R.E on the ESG store, because that's what Dreams actually is.
I would rather kill myself than use Epic Games Store. Also
>Blockchain/NFT
even worse.
As opposed to what? Dreams? Because we lack assetflipping "games" on the Steam store?
pff
Dreams at least doesn't require a shitty extra launcher nobody likes on my PS4 and doesn't involved NFT or blockchain in any way. Whatever complaints you have with Dreams, and there are some you can levy in it's direction, it's still going to be better for that reason alone.
Keep it on your PS4 then holy shit
The whole point of getting a PC port is for better performance, versatility in hardware configurations with the potential of playing it on a portable PC handheld, a better creation process, and SteamVR support.
We just don't fricking need more assetflipping games.
Open the Steam store on a Steam Deck and be done with it.
I know nobody has ever said this before but I really want Forbidden Siren games on PC. It is such a shame that IP was left to rot. Also Sony has a lot of dormant IP like Genji, Dark Cloud and Legend of Dragoon yet all they care about is making dozens of Horizon games. Frick them.
>Nobody asked for or was hyped for Returnal
nice bait post, ohioBlack person steamie…
yep nobody asked for Returnal. Seethe further Minnesotroony
I did 🙂
I would assume that the majority of PC gamers who have historically cared about PS games already bought a PS and aren't moronic enough to let Snoy double dip. Until they day and date on PC they won't have an audience
>kids game
>requires high end hardware to be played decently
>full price for 2 year old game
gee wiz i dunno
it doesn't require high end hardware tho. i can even turn rayt tracing on on a fricking 2060 and it runs well. which is pretty crazy
This is the only correct or serious answer. Why is it so hard to talk about videogames? Everything has to be onions and trannie and pcuk and frick this and manjaw and trannime
got one
You're both fricking moronic, it's not anywhere near "correct". The game runs great on a fricking 2060, it requires no where near high end hardware
This is the only answer close to correct, I'm glad I don't have to pick up a PS5 to play this anymore but I already went two years without it and can wait until it gets down to $20 on sale.
They have yet to release a game that's worth playing. Too bad they only offer third person open world busywork slog.
sony overestimated the specs of PC gamers, as they literally can't run any of their PS5 spec games.
>classic
How is Ratchet not a playstation classic?
Because this is Rift Apart. a 2021 game not the PS2 classic you fricking dipshit.
No games prior to the PS4 will rerelease under Jim Ryan's watchful eye, Chud.
After all, why would anybody want to play them?
They never even made the PS3 backwards compatible.
Their solution was just cramming a PS2 into the case and detecting if you put a PS3 or a PS2 game into the drive.
They eventually stopped producing that model because it was losing them money and frick our customers amirite
I actually believe him that there is not significant demand for classics. I emulate PSX/PS2 games myself and run them at settings Sony can only dream of delivering (4k 60 fps).
there is no big demand for classics because they killed their PS1, PS2 and even PS3 era IPs. Nintendo nurtured their legacy IPs to the point they can ask $60 for a lazy remake and it'll be an instant profit
Meanwhile xbox is making millions selling xbox and 360 games on series X
Stfu stunted numale
It was on PS2
We are not in 2006 anymore. No one gives a shit about Ratchet anymore. People stopped giving a shit 10 years ago
Ps5 has no other games so something has to be 'classic'
Yes
Woke
Better on YouTube
sony's prices aren't low enough for me to even consider impulse buying
$60 for a 2 year old game? no thanks
Steam is full of real games. Why pay for Snoy games that are boring and need a super expensive PC since they diversity hired their devs when I can get some obscure indie game for 99cents or some old games. Sometimes I get 10 good games in a bundle for trhefiddy at some key shop. Snoy wants 100$ plus tip for some badly optimized slop full of woke shit and ugly females.
All the good Playstation games from the past I either own on disk or can emulate for free.
>Sometimes I get 10 good games in a bundle for trhefiddy at some key shop.
So you are actively costing the developers money. Just pirate the games man.
I think they are talking about Fanatical, so the devs did get paid
no, i hope they go bankrupt for not putting their games on gog, if it was on gog i would buy it there. or if they had some other drm-free release
All singleplayer games should be drm free.
Agree, there is no reason for the single-player needing online connection 24/7. Looking at you for honor.
>Sometimes I get 10 good games in a bundle for trhefiddy at some key shop.
And then you proceed to not play them.

Who the frick measures a games success by that? If it was a multiplayer game then sure but a single player? for all we know a bunch of people bought it and its on their backlog for now.
Pc players are like that "frick exclusives" some exclusives launch and they don't play it
Same shit gonna happens with bloodborne,it been like 8 years since it launched and you always see people saying "bloodborne pc PLS" and you gonna see that if Sony launch the game on Pc it gonna sell like shit
homosexuals need to release Ghost of Tsushima already. I guarantee that would sell well on PC and its their only game I'd double dip on.
Tsushima is a shit Ubisoft open world game. It will sell great to the retartds. I agree with you.
8757 gay furries bought that game
They released a two year old platformer for $60 with very little marketing and without any of the actual classics in the series.

kids don't play pc, now port bloodborne.
Haven't most of their ports been shit
Also
>No attempt to sell the back catalog of sony vidya that people actually want like the original ratchet and clank series or littlebigplanet
All of the ports are fine except for tlou2. The real reason why these games aren't selling on pc is because nobody ever gave a frick about them in the first place, they sell because they're exclusive and get huge marketing pushes. These ports aren't either, people feel no need to buy games they're not interested in to justify their purchase, and there is no big marketing campaign to convince people to buy the latest mediocre AAA garbage. The only sony port i'd buy is bloodborne, even though I already played through the game i'd be willing to buy it again just to have a 60 fps pc version.
The game apparently didn't sell all that well on PS5 either, only about a million copies which was definitely below their target considering how high budget this game definitely was.
I bought it and am enjoying it, but I can definitely see why people wouldn't be interested in it.
>Objectively a kids game, yet requires enthusiast hardware, so the only people who would buy it are manchildren like myself
>It's about cartoon furries in space, the polar opposite of the normiebait typically being released under the Snoy brand now
>Very easy on normal
>Was definitely made to be played with the Dualsense controller, which if you're playing on PC you probably don't have
A normie coworker of mine said he wanted a PS5. I asked if he was interested in this game since it's supposed to be one of the big system sellers. He had never heard of it.

The problem is that Rachet doesn't need that much of a budge, the ps3 graphics are more than enough to make Rachet games for the rest of eternity and that would allow them to make more games
1.1 million in one month when there were only 10 million PS5s where 10-15 percent were owned by scalpers.
Right. If people on Ganker actually read the articles instead of just the headline, they would see that they used max concurrent players. In that list, most of the games above it are open world games that take 60 hours to complete. Of course those games will have a significantly higher max concurrent player count.
The game is selling ok on Steam. We know according to the “New Boxleiter” number, the review to purchase ratio on steam for large AAA games is 1:60. With 2100+ reviews on Steam, it sold about 126000 copies. According to steam, about 1250 reviews are from outside of steam purchases, other sales, so the predicted amount is just under 200k copies in under a week.
1:60 is a very generous estimate.
I've heard the ratio is anywhere between 1:10 and 1:30.
No if you look at the research, that ratio, it is about 1:30 for all games (A, AA, AAA). Indy games have a much lower ratio about 1:20 because they tend to have a smaller but more vocal and loyal audience. Also, that research did not elaborate the distribution of their data. I would assume it is easier to get that data from small developers than AAA devs since large companies consider sales data as proprietary info, so they are under NDA. As a result, the data will be mostly full of small developers being overrepresented in the data set.
There was a dat set that organized it by 50k to 100k+ the ratio is close to 50-60 purchases to 1 review.
Tldr: the game is selling ok, but not amazing. People just love to fall for outrage and misrepresentation of data and statistics.
Keep in mind, bundles are counted.
Nobody buys their game. All their money earned by FIFA and CoD.
Everyone knows this now.
This is true 80-85% of PS "Gamers" Literally play nothing but CoD/Fortnite/Sportsgames
To be honest sony never should have said anything about MS buying actiblizz now everyone knows they are a joke and no one even plays these "Blockbuster" "games" like TLOUS lol they literally don't make money on GoW or TLOUS and thats bad looking
i wonder what the numbers would be if these enormous homosexuals just dropped bloodborne.
Bloodborne flopped on PS4. Doubt it would do much on Steam
which is it, gays?
Latest figure on sold units was ~2.9M, and users played like 11 because of PS+. It's considered a "surprising success" because of its shoestring budget, but for example just the PS4 version of just the updated rerelease of Persona 5 comfortably outsold it.
We aren't getting Bloodborne. Sony hates that it's their most popular game, because it's Japanese, and don't want to further promote it.
We will one day. When the higher ups decide their bonus is a little light one year, tussis when our day will come.
>Sony hates that it's their most popular game, because it's Japanese
Then why have they shilled FFXVI so hard?
finally, you fricking morons understand why they won't port BB. i've been saying this for years before people realized it and people tried ridiculing me for it. i'm just always right
>Sony hates that it's their most popular game,
it's Horizon or GOW
>2 years old so anyone who wanted it already bought it and even then it's still readily available

>PS sloppy seconds
>badly optimised
>that will be $70 plus tip please
Yeah I wonder.
Sony on PC means they have a wealth of competition in the marketplace all of a sudden, and in most cases aren't "essentials" for the PC gamer. Basically, it shows that the Sony emperor has almost no clothes. I say "almost" because ironically their "prestige" cinematic games do well, since that's not a niche that sees a lot of participation outside of Sony even on PC (besides the meme of "just watch it on Youtube").
They're either complete idiots or just really passive aggressive about porting games to PC
They are idiots. They think troons, cucks and loud obese black women make up the majority of their target audience. Look how ugly and full of propaganda all their games are.
Sony need to copy nintendo more (they're experts at this point) and re-release the classics a month or two before the new mainline.
>Did Sony overestimate the value of its IPs?
Yes they did
There are 3 games I'm buying from Sony if they get ported to PC
Bloodborne
Demon's Souls
Ghost of Tsushima
Not gonna pay 70+ dollars for an old game
pc noggers dont play games
all they do is browse reddit and groom kids on discord
plus their toasters cant handle state of the art console games
smart people switched to series x/ps5 when they came out and only the lowest of the lowest scum remained as pc only gamers (trannies, chinks, thirdies, poorgays, etc)
smart people do not buy 600 ugly ass paperweights with no games, homosexual.
>4.7 million people are just afking in tf2 for drops
Unironically yes.
Steam NFT trading pays as much as the average SEABlack person salary.
do you know how much a single tf2 drop costs (which is 99.99% a gun)
>1 key = 79 ref= $2.4
>1 ref= 3 rec= $0.03
>1 rec= 3 scrap= $0.01
>1 scrap= 2 weapons= 0.0033
>1 weapon= $0.00166
you can do way easier and less time consuming shit with a lot more profit, back in the day it was viable since 1 key was a couple ref but now it's way too inflated
>state of the art console
i haven't posted in years, but this made me laugh.
Its the price.
PC generally dislikes paying full price for year+ old game.
Horizon would sell a lot once it went on sale.
The real truth is that sonys price increase of games completely and utterly backfired
every single ps5 game, even looking at install base numbers, have sold bad
All sony has to do is release KZ2 on steam and they'll be raking in the dough.
Killzone is literally a dead series. The official website was shut down years ago and the devs want nothing to do with it.
Umm W T F?
Is that Nazi imagery you fricking CHUD?
I have tried Killzone 2 and 3 in the ps3 emulator and they are playable
Yeah but you can't play Killzone 2 online in the emulator
You are right, although it was possible with metal gear. I think that eventually in the future it could be possible to make dedicated servers, although I'm not betting anything.
There would be zero multiplayer so who cares. The campaign was just cod shit.
>killzone
3 copies sold at best
>release KZ2 on steam and they'll be raking in the dough
Only if they made the port decent and package it as a bundle remaster for the whole series. Killzone is that one sony game I wish got ported on to PC back in the day when it came out because the game felt like it could do well on PC especially with community browser servers and custom mods to the game.
>Killzone 2 release
>the fps market is a wasteland of nothing but COD clone
>"WOOOAH, Killzone 2? Really what we need right now!!!"
no
>playstation classic
>release date 2021
They would make BANK if they would release non altered, maybe slightly remastered versions of old PS1,PS2 and PS3 games for a very very fair price or in a bundle. Instead they make shitty remakes if even that look like nu games and sometimes get pozzed with woke shit for no reason.
i think about this alot to be honest....sony MS and Tendoo could just like literally print money if they released old games ported over to steam...and it wouldnt even be hard they dont have to remaster them they dont have to do ANYTHING but put it on steam and its free money it doesnt make sense people always say "business' wanna make money" and then they dont take the free money emulation is huge on PC/Phones why not dip your toes into that money pool?
Nintendo makes money on hardware. They want people to buy and play games on their systems, not PC.
Nintendo is a toy/IP company at this point. They lost all relevancy at the latest when they release the WiiU. They have not made an actual new game since the GameCube era. They just copy paste old stuff and change the color a bit. The only kind of new game was the Zelda game but that was also just a copy of other games mashed together and it is not even a real Zelda game. The newest Zelda game is just another copy of that. Its sad.
Wii was their downfall, killed all the innovative energy.
Are you high? The Switch is one of the best selling consoles of all time. All it's exclusives are critically acclaimed and sell like hotcakes. You're coping hard, probably because you too poor to own one
>Nintendo is a toy/IP company at this point. They lost all relevancy at the latest when they release the WiiU. They have not made an actual new game since the GameCube era.

>Wii was their downfall, killed all the innovative energy.
>ignores the Switch
>clear inspiration to the Steam Deck
Pathetic
Nintendo is just stubbornly conservative and always a good 10 years behind industry standard practice.
They also can't stand the idea of their games running on both hardware (PC) and a platform (Steam) that they themselves do no have full control over
Plus they fear piracy like cats fear water, so thats even more reason to avoid PC.
It's just a matter of mentality. Maybe one day Nintendo will have a younger president who doesn't fear emulation so much or better yet, sees it as a massive untapped business potential.
I mean Nintendo games have already been the most easily emulateable for the past 20-30 years. They can't kill emulation, they cannot possibly remove ROMs from being distributed all over the internet. Might as well make some money out of it. They literally have nothing to lose from putting games on PC and selling them officially
But the standard industry practice is PC losing games to consoles, not the other way around. If anything Steam will come to the market leader Nintendo.
>If anything Steam will come to the market leader Nintendo.
That's not how this works at all. If a console manufacturer wants to cut themselves off from a huge market, then that's their prerogative, but they're losing sales in the process. They see this as an acceptable loss because they believe it will force some residual consoles sales at which point they have captured the consumer in their own walled garden. Publishers can afford sale losses when they take paychecks for exclusivity deals, but anyone who tries to sell on PC will come crawling to steam or people simply won't buy it. Valve is not in any position where they have to go to anyone for anything.
If steam wants to miss out on Nintendo's massive userbase that's up to them. Nintendo doesn't need the help as the current market leader
Valve doesn't need to come begging to nintendo for sales. They have full market capture over digital distribution on PC and more money than to even know what to do with. Nintendo doesn't give a frick either and believes its in their best interest to keep their IPs locked on kiddy hardware. It's never happening.
>Valve doesn't need to come begging to nintendo for sales
They could consider it. They might learn a thing or two about game development and Gabe might actually make a game for his tablet so it doesn't continue shitting and flopping
You fundamentally misunderstand the point of PC every time you bring up exclusives. PC hardware stands on its own. People choose it for reasons like its power and personal freedom.People do not buy console hardware for the hardware, they buy it because they are forced to in order to play exclusives. PC has never needed exclusives to thrive. And Valve doesn't make games anymore because it is simply unnecessary to their business model. As it stands, they make gorillians off of general sales and fricking cs:go skins.
Regardless you're bleeding exclusives. However you frame yourself as not caring is fine by me. PC is a sidecar platform after all. Nice little platform alongside some good consoles. Gotta play project Zomboid somehow, you know?
>But the standard industry practice is PC losing games to consoles, not the other way around
What do you mean?
>all Xbox exclusives going to PC
>former console-only series like Metal Gear Solid, Persona, Ace Combat, Ace Attorney, MonHun, Yakuza/Judgment, Dragon Quest, Red Dead etc all had their PC debut
>Playstation exclusives going to PC
What trends of PC losing titles are you talking about? On the contrary, it seems to be gaining literally fricking everything
And how well is that going? PS games don't sell, and Game Pass is actively hurting Xbox sales.
>And how well is that going?
It's going very well. I'm getting titles that were previously considered never evers on PC. Again, I don't know what the frick you're trying to say
>PS games don't sell
Most PS games aren't good and sony is out of touch with reality, pushing shit like horizon to the forefront like anyone gives a frick. They have no idea what they're doing.
>he doesn't know that every PC game is playable on console
How? Do you even follow this industry?
>But the standard industry practice is PC losing games to consoles
Maybe that was true in 2004 when shit like Halo went XBOX only.
That's not at all true now. If feels like every game is coming to PC in some way.
Yeah. Some companies were smart and did it. They put nearly non altered old games on Steam but made them very compatible, sometimes adding archievements and some extras. They sold and people loved them for it.
Lots of older adventures or action games. From the back of my head like THQ Nordic or DotEmu releasing some older stuff fitted to modern system, mostly unaltered with some bonus settings to make it look better on modern system etc. Just nice to do and people buy it.
Nintendo isn't run by morons, they're not interested in destroying their brand in exchange for a few short-term pennies. Jimbo killed PlayStation in record time.
this, at least ms own pc as well as xbox, so it really doesn't matter if ms games are on both platforms.
Nintendo doesn't even need Steam, they could just dump all of their NES, SNES and handheld games onto their Switch store for 10$ a piece and would make millions. Too bad they tangled their old games up into their moronic online subscription bonus system.
people emulate because they're poor not because it's the only option they have to play specific games. I get it bro I used to steal games when I was a teenager too when I had unlimited free time and no money to spend on anything but I grew out of it.
what trash are you buying now?
You are grossly overestimating the value of PC gaming's market. For each 10 billions that Valve makes on Steam Sony alone makes 30 and Nintendo it's like 3 or 4 times that. PC gaming's market is tiny as shit. You put games on Steam, plus their insane 30% cut, you barely make any money because PC gamers don't buy games. They only buy a select few. Like 90% of PCtards attention is centered around CounterStrike and Dota. And for teh record, Steam doesn't even sell more software than the fricking Xbox or PS5!!
Nintendo makes money because everyone knows that you will never, ever get their games on any other system (emulation notwithstanding).
This means there’s no waiting to see if a port shows up. You either buy it for their systems or you don’t buy it at all.
This only works because they are absolutely adamant on this issue. They know it only takes one exception to sow doubt.
>Release old game on steam
>Has to pay 30% protection fee to Gaben
>Release old game on Switch
>Gets to sale more Switch with extra fee
Hmmm...
Nintendo take 30% too tranimal poster.
Cope. Just fricking emulate, morons.
Emulation is nice, but it'll always be a cheap cope compared to getting a proper PC port.
there are actually some ports that run worse than emulation
This is true in some cases, but in the vast majority of titles it's the emulated one that runs worse. Especially in 6th gens titles and later
>PC gamers
>buy
Some people didn't buy it, because they figured it'd be another broken mess, like TLOU PC port.
the irony is that rift apart is by far the best game snoy ported so far.
i fricking hate modern "consumers" and their tastes
Sure thing, furrytard
the "buy new weapons, upgrade them, defeat enemies and earn money to buy more weapons" game loop is just intrinsecally satisfying.
i wish the arena was more fleshed out
Snoy will never have my money, not matter how they try.
The game sold like 1million copies on the PS5 and maybe like 100k or so on steam which is honestly really good for a full price game 2 years after the fact
Sony either needs to release them only a few months apart at most or halfish price if longer than a year
Sony doesnt have any IPs
trannies that wanted to play this already bought a piss5
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
God of War sold 3M, Horizon sold 2M and Spider-Man sold 1.5M. PC gays on here always complain about movie games but still buy them lmao
Speak for yourself homosexual, I didn't buy any of that trash. The only game I give a frick about being ported is bloodborne, and if I get a shitty bluepoint demake instead of a port then I'm certainly not buying it.
this is the game people cosplay and shill for? wheres the game?
The only real hostage that sony has is Bloodborne, not even people that have a PS5 care for the rest, they simply bundle everything to hell and back and them announce that they "sold" a bunch while people buy their Fortnite/Fifa/Madden boxes, and Sony knows that why do you think they have more than 10 GAAS game projects on the pipeline? Even going as far as buying and funding the new Bungie slop?
When the ports started people on PC hold their breaths for Bloodborne, but it never came, nobody really cares for movie games.
movie games sell very well actually
they are only hated in autistic little bubbles online, in the real world people bought the ps4 BECAUSE it had games like the nu-goy of war
I bought a PS4 to play bloodborne. I certainly didn't buy it to play unsharted or TLoU or any other shitty movie game. And it was the last sony console I bought because clearly sony doesn't want me as a customer.
uncharted predates the Ganker moviegaem hateboner circlejerk
no it doesn't
>uncharted predates the Ganker
>He wasn't here when MGS4 came out
how new are you?
i never said it predates Ganker
i said that Ganker did not hate moviegaems back then
>i said that Ganker did not hate moviegaems back then
you really weren't here when MGS4 came out. lmaoo, it got shat on for the long cutscenes; it was moviegaem, it solidified the whole "ps3hasnogames" except for Tallahassee Nigh: Ballet of Ricky Bobby.
how new are you?
i never said that the ps3 isn't full of moviegames, i said that moviegames (mgs4 included) weren't hated back then.
why do you want me to repeat myself?
>why do you want me to repeat myself?
are you an idiot? i am saying that it was hated for having moviegames; its what kicked off the whole "ps3ghasnogame" meme
just go back, homosexual
mgs1 and 3 had almost as many cutscenes as 4 and they both consistently won "best game ever made" polls on old Ganker
i never disliked moviegaems and i never will.
the lack of an attention span is a zoomer phenomenon i will never share
>I like moviegames
Maybe you're better off at reddit like the rest of them
never been there and never will
i do not need to assimilate to the modern nuGanker consensus, and i won't.
>you're a zero attention span zoomer if you don't want to watch this shit instead of actually playing the gaem
Sounds like a personal problem. I've always hated movie games. I didn't need to wait for my opinion to be accepted to have an opinion.
>i said that moviegames (mgs4 included) weren't hated back then.
yes they were, nobody gave a shit about Uncharted because they were too busy playing Halo 3
good times
I bought a ps4 Fat with hackable firmware (although it wasn't planned but the one who sold it to me hadn't updated it in years and didn't know anything about it) to finally play it and it would really be nice to be able to enjoy that experience at 60Fps (and mods ).
No, they don't.
Go find the reports they had to submit for Sony vs Microsoft and look at the numbers yourself.
people buy playstations for COD and sports game
They only have to port 2 games, bloodborne and ghost of tsushima, the rest they can keep for themselves.
Wipeout collection would be nice.
I get people wanna make the lowest of hanging fruit jokes about movies but the game bombed because it's TERRIBLY optimized. It runs like ass.
runs perfectly on my 3060
Are you a poorgay running at 60fps or do you have a big boy monitor that runs at a "cinematic" framerate?
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/ratchet-clank-rift-apart-benchmark-test-performance-analysis/5.html
1080p 60fps, which is precisely the way i want it.
when i'll eventually get a 5060 or 6060 or whatever, it will always be for 1080p 60fps
That game running at 60fps on 1080p is not what most people would consider running "perfectly." It's terribly optimized.
>1080p 60fps, which is precisely the way i want it.
Ah, I see... You're stuck in 2016, my apologies, then. Hopefully your next copium dose arrives in time.
you seem to have misunderstood a key part
i could play above 60fps with older games on my 3060 if i wanted to (my 1080p monitor can go up to 165hz), but i won't.
you see, i'm very stubborn, and i have decided that i will never actually try playing any videogame above 1080p 60fps.
i hope i cleared things up
have a nice day!
>you seem to have misunderstood a key part
>(headcanon)
Do you cry yourself to sleep too? You seem deranged
you will have to pry my 1080p games from my cold, dead hands
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
1. They're boring
2. All hype is dead by the time they come to PC
3. Rather than just the current ps5/xbawks library, they have to compete with 20 years worth of games
Returnal is the only one that interests me and sony is out of their mind if they think I'm paying 60 bucks for it, I have like 20 unplayed games I can play first on steam alone, to say nothing of emulation.
>they have to compete with 20 years worth of games
If you count emulation, make that 70 years. You can play a 1952 tic-tac-toe game.
Post it then.
Post the emulator to play that 1952 tic tac toe game.

>also 60 dollars for a port 2 years later
Umm what about no?
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
Because they've been the very definition of soulless, disposable cash-grab movie shit the past 15 years soon. Everyone already "played" them on Youtube or emulators.
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
Easy explainer:
>We want Bloodbourne
Would you care for Ratchet and Clank 10, depsite the fact we never ported 1-9?
>We want Bloodbourne
Would you care for Uncharted 4/LL despite the fact we didn't port the multiplayer over or U1-3 and 2-3's multiplayer over before?
>WTF, port U1-3 first, morons. But we still:
>Want Bloodbourne
Would you care about Horizon?
>No, you morons: We want Bloodbourne
Would you care about Grandma in Space with Terrible optimizations?
>No, morons: We want Bloodbourne.
How is a two year-old game "Classic"?
These bozos could be porting the Team Ico games so they exist on a platform that never dies
there is a lot of appreciation for games like that, games that sort of got buried a few gens ago and never got rereleases like dead rising or oblivion
It boggles my mind that they haven't remaster TLG for a system that can actually handle it
>playstation classic
Fifa 24 isnt out yet
>overestimate
No they know exactly what they have, which is why they're keeping the games people want as PS exclusives. If they put bloodborne and tsushima on steam people will buy it, but then they wouldn't buy a Playstation to play them. That's why PC only gets table scraps and/or movies that need ports to turn a profit.
>If they put bloodborne and tsushima on steam people will buy it, but then they wouldn't buy a Playstation to play them
No one is buying a fricking PS5 to play these games, dude. They are last gen titles that have been out for many years. If anyone hasn't played bloodborne at this point, they're simply not going to. No one is going to buy console hardware to play them. If they were willing to, they would have already done that long ago, and it still doesn't help sony because it would be a PS4, not a PS5.
They haven't bothered to put out a 60fps patch for Bloodborne on ps5, they really don't know what to do with that IP
>strong reviews
sorry snoy, but paid reviews aren't indicative of actual peoples opinions
They released 8th Ratchet game on PC what did you expected? Do you really expected people to buy a game that requires you to play at least one game before it(2016 soft reboot Ratchet)? God of War and Spider Man did great because those games don't require shit ton of old games to understand(not even God of War does despite being a sequel).
Before playing GoW I played its old versions on the emulator and it was quite entertaining
2016 is not canon lol, tools of destruction is the real soft reboot
When are the nude or big boobs mods for Rivet?
>concurrent players
>for single player game
Show me the sale numbers
If they ported the Wipeout omega collection I would buy it.
if they saw value in their ips they would have never ported them.
>worst ratchet game
no shit
but that's not full frontal assult or 2016 though
because we are not sonygays. we will buy it 75% off in two or three years so whatever lol
>PirateBlack folk
>buy
lol
it's probably why Sony has only put the bottom of the barrel games on PC so far, they knew it games were mostly going to be pirated and we're just testing the waters
they'll probably pull all support within the year
Bloodborne Never Fricking Ever (:
Sony only makes FOMO third person movies. You don't see people talking about Squid Game a year later, because everyone moved on to the latest flavor of the month.
They should stop charging 60 bucks, pcgays are more pricegayging than others
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
I did and liked it enough to play it NG+ but the 60$ price tag is asking for a lot when anyone could go emulate the PS2 games and have a much longer run time.
Rift Apart is much more polished than the PS2 quadrilogy but I do agree that $60 is a lot to ask for a game you can comfortably 100% in about 15 hours.
Its polished sure but that's because it does almost nothing new. Infact most of the ideas just seem to be taken from Crack In Time with even the rift mechanic feeling like a relabeled version the time travel planets a few times. I don't actually think that's a bad thing for a game in this series but it does make people second guess when you are trying to sell a game at 60 bucks that is shorter and has less new ideas than the previous entries. I think they should have gone for the 30-40 dollar range as that seems to be what people are willing to accept for a platformer these days. I say this of course being someone who did buy the game at full price but that's because I'm a longtime fan who has no interest in the PS5
I mean same - as much as I like the game it just feels like a retread of the same stuff the series has been doing for decades. I don't mind that personally but I can see why people didn't buy it.
Those colors look familiar...are you both gay homofriends? It's time to close that Rift that's apart in your anus.
Nah, just don't see a reason to pay full price for old games, when they reach the inevitable $30 or less mark, then I'll pick it up. This is coming from a diehard R&C fan.
Last of us port probably scared of a lot of potential buyers this might have gotten.
That port was truly abysmal. The game uses like 20GB of Vram for 1440p and barely looks any better than on consoles.
A pc has lots of games, they can choose
Snoy only have those. They have to accept them or cope with the reality that they fricked up buying a propaganda machine
They wait too long. Simple as. Release it same day and I guarantee they'd smash new sales records. But oh well, at least they'll get their sales from those 5k people 2 years later.
you need ads to get people to care about things they don't need. No ads = no buys.
You can't just shadow drop games on steam and expect people to buy them
I don't give a shit about Ratchet but I hope this doesn't scare them away from making future ports.
I just want them to port Gravity Rush 2
Too japanese, Sony hates it
Every steam game I buy, cost less than 20 usd.
70 usd is like 1/3 of my family entire montly income.
I can get like two teen hookes to have a full weekend threesome with me in my room for that price.
lmao.
They ever fix sack boy on pc? I've been wanting to play a decent platformer.
they port the ones i dont give a shit about.
Okay Anonymous, what games would (You) port to Pee Cee?
>hard mode: no weebshit
I want LBP 1-3 and Dreams, maybe the infamous games too
I think they should revive M.A.G.
>numbers for sp games
>charging 60 for 2 year old games
>putting the 17th game in the series on a platform with no previous entries, same mistake as putting uncharted 4 on pc without 1-3
take a lesson from sega and yakuza or ms and halo. put the entire series up and people will love it (yes i know halo multiplayer and infinite is shit but you can still play the whole series)
It'd be nice to have the Ratchet HD collection but let's be real, you don't need to play those PS3 games.
Not the point, if you want to sell product with an old IP better to bundle and sell the old shit that people are nostalgic for rather than just the new shit and hope that's enough- especially if it turns out the new shit was crap on a stick.
He's right you know. When a series arrives on PC all broken and fragmented, it tends to get ignored.
Seriously. Why the frick is this so difficult to understand? Port the PS4 Uncharted Collection to PC, and I might be willing to play the 4th game. Otherwise, why should I give a frick about this series? I got the game for free with my cpu, and I still can’t be assed to install it.
Since when is a 2021 game considered a classic?
They're busy emulating Switch
Pirated it
It was fun but definetly not worth 60 bucks
Playstation players tend to overhype their games and do the marketing for sony even if the game is just ok
It was always just an extra revenue stream. It shouldn't take that long to port something if the engine has good compatibility already. Days Gone probably took a couple of months to port due to it being on Unreal. Insomniac's engine already had good PC compatibility. The outlier is Naughty Dog's engine which didn't even run on PCs but they need to have it on PCs eventually due to factions 2.
>tfw no verification needed today to post
Ganker must be enjoying my content 🙂
What is with every Black person paying full price? Fine, you don't want to pirate, but then just get it from a keyreseller you jackasses.
Nobody likes fur homosexualry
SONY has become more anti-consumer with each iteration. PS1 and PS2 had really great libraries and features like retro compatibility and even a DVD player. PS3 did away with retro compatibility and pushed for a digital market so, unless one was willing to buy the games again libraries got drastically cut.
Then with PS4 tons of games that would have once been PS exclusives made it to every other system. Personally i am a JRPG fan so those were the console sellers for me. Stuff like Ni no Kuni, FF, Tales or Nier were the reason i was their consumer, not stuff like TLOU, Horizon, GoW or Spiderman.
I can`t claim they misunderstood their consumer base though. I`m sure those are nice and all but they are not consoles sellers for me. Even knowing they are now available on PC i`m like "sure, backlog games" but i kind of think the same of indy stuff like the Banner saga so...
>wanted to try horizon
>sony randomly increases the regional price
I hope to God I'm not missing much
You're not, it's a mediocre BotW clone with even more Ubisoft open world shit.
What makes it a botw clone? I've seen that game barely influence anything aside from genshin. If it's a glider or something, ubisoft also did that first in their open worlds.
It's the same as the other open worlds for the most part. You're not really missing much, most of Sony's recent AAA exclusives have played very similarly so if you've played one then you've played most of them, only the skin is different.
Horizon isn't like God if War or Ratchet and Clank at all.
R&C isn't open world. GoW isn't really either but compare it to Tsushima and Spiderman and they're fairly similar.
I'd say Ragnarok is mostly open world. Horizon is kinda similar to Tsushima, but Spiderman's combat is really different.
Close enough
>holy moley is that a bow and arrow in BOTH GAMES?
>how are snoys ever gonna cope
They don't advertise it enough.
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
They do. R&C is just in the corner of badly-optimized, badly-ported, bug-ridden, shit-ware.
Just like several other PS ports before it.
The actual GOOD ports? Those DO get bought.
Sony has quality-control issue.s
Playstation owners dont buy them either, they've been bullshitting very hard trying to puff up the numbers for stuff that actually flopped
Anyone who believes TLoU Part 2 sold 10 million is a dope
PC has tons of games and it gets tons of games. It's extremely competitive. A console ecosystem that adherents have to buy into is a far safer space with far less competition. It's one of the reasons Nintendo is terrified of bringing their games to PC as well, despite the easy money. They know full well it'd devalue their IPs.
People buy Sony games on console because there are no games to buy. People don't buy Sony games on PC because 750 games come out per month, 100 of which target specific niches, with 90% of them costing less than $30.
Sony didn't even release the most hyped 3D platformer with an animal/furry mascot of the month on PC, let alone anything that people cared about or wanted to spend $60 on. The grim truth is that Sony games won't pass on other platforms.
Price too high for what it is
The only Snoy game PC gamers care about is Bloodborne. Why can't they get this through their thick skull?
>classic
>not even five years old
???
I will buy Returnal when it goes on a significant sale.
Price your years old game properly and I would have bought it. Same went for their past 2-3 releases. God of War was the last I bought because I got tired of the full pricing.
does this mean GOW Ragnarok isn't coming to PC, do I have to bite the bullet and buy it on my PS5
Because PC gamers are white supremacists who only buy the latest shootan games and clank rollars
Sony games just can't keep up with competition on pc.
People on pc just have games they play and wait for.
Playstation audience on the other hand plays sony titles and only then everything else.
God of War is extremely well optimized and runs on literally everything released in the last 5 years. Game still sucks, please give me actual God of War.
They're releasing all their mid games. If they really want to make money then port bloodborne.
Because
>they are technically bad ports, i.e. huge hardware requirements for games which run on PS4
>goyslop, press x to win
I'd rather watch a film than "play" Uncharted.
All it says to me is most PC players don't have the specs to run the game as it was intended, and thus skip over it, because no one in their right mind wants to make it look like a blurry PS3 game to run on something older.
It's looks god damned amazing on max settings. It actually looks "next gen" in some instances. This is the first time where I think ray tracing actually has a pretty big impact on image quality. It only took how fricking long?
PCgays are pirates or they wait for bargain bin keys.
Yep. Judgment peaked at 5604 players on Steam. A well received game in the Yakuza series that people were begging to be ported to PC.
just give us bloodborne morons
Sony spends the equivalent of the entire game's budget on marketing. When they release their garbage on their console, every normalgay has heard of the game and thinks it's the next big thing in the industry and they need to at least check out.
The PC release doesn't have the same insane marketing campaign.
People didn't even play Ratchet and Clank on PS5.
Sony's been infamously terrible about nurturing their first party IPs ever since the PS1.
Now that they've finally decided to get off their ass and treat their franchises as anything more than pump and dump flavor of the month library filler, they're focusing on:
>troony Dyke Golf and Liveleak Simulator: Sad Dad Edition
>The Nikocado Chronicles Parts 1-39 (Now also with more Dykes)
Who could have possibly guessed PCgays would have no interest in these?
>Classic
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a classic already?!
THAT'S RIGHT JAY
People bought GOW, Days Gone By, Horizon and Spider-man. Turns out R&C is not a series you can sell for full price two years after release. On PS4, I got R&C 2016 for like eight bucks in 2018. why they thought they could sell this one for 60 to PC gamers is beyond me. R&C is not that popular.
its almost like nobody fricking cares about R&C
The success of consoles relies on NGOs shipping millions of 3rd worlders into American and Europe to sell Madden and Fifa. Every other game created is a smoke screen.
>Did Sony overestimate the value of its IPs?
No.
They did and still are doing the opposite. And that's exactly why properties are so weak now.
>nazi dogwhistle
frick off
Still fricking miffed about that Ape Escape 20th anniversary tease. the apes are basically the OG Rabbids with their antics, and you can use them literally for every genre of a game.
they just want an excuse not to port bloodborne by porting a bunch of shit no one wants
pretty based if you ask me
So why does Digital homosexualry cover some dumb shit like this at launch and dedicate several videos to it when it sells like shit despite ignoring games like Tekken 8 that actually sell well and appeal to a larger audience? I know their excuse would be ‘niche fighting game’ but we know ratchet is niche AF and sells like shit so that cant be it. Better tech? Not really either, one has UE5 and the other is some costum Insomniac shit.
Its just fricking marketing and sucking off Sony aint it? Gotta give their first and secondparty games preferential treatment and pretend they are a big deal even when in the real world nobody buys the dogshit. Shitty influencers
Because DF are massive sony shills.
looks better than switch games
Nah, they're taking any money thrown their way. They swept all totk's shit performance under the rug too while saying it's actually impressive because the hardware is also shit.
Ratchet & Clank peaked a long time ago. It's not bad but you're not going to see a lot of excitement for the series.
TLOU and Uncharted don't appeal to anyone outside of the Sony ecosystem.
God of War and Spider-Man had their time in the spotlight.
Nobody cares about Days Gone or Horizon.
Port stuff like Bloodborne, Tsushima, Demon's Souls, The Last Guardian, Wipeout or Gran Turismo if you want to see people show interest.
Because they dont port over the games PC gamers actually want to play.
>Playsation Classic
>Wonder what it could be
>Its fricking Right Apart
Classic is just as useless of a word as RPG and retro.
why would i buy their trash?
the only sony trash that i want is wipeout and some ps2 era stuff that didnt get ported
>Ratchet and Clank Rifts Apart
>classic
They port their dumb movie shit nobody on PC wanted while ignoring the requests for Killzone on PC, it's their fault.
Who wants fricking Killzone of all games?

>Lose all interest
>Toss it on the deals.gg reminder for when it hits $15 in a few years
Oh well, stop being israelites.
because sony releases the games nobody wants years after they released. GoW sold plenty of money so the demand is there
sony games are garbage, I've said it for years, microsoft games are better even though everyone shits on them
Well yeah, microsoft games are actually games
>Rift Apart
>classic
I would buy Demon's Souls, Bloodborne, The Team ICO games, Gravity Rush 1/2, the Jak collection or the Sly collection. I have no interest in anything else.
same as long as they're not bluepoint remakes
once you become a pc gamer, there's not really anything additional a console can offer you. a lot of the games built for console are just kind of bad and without as much depth or replay value compared to games made for PC/online.
also now most pc gamers multitask, watching/reading/doing shit on one screen and a game on the other. can't do that with a console.
There are games that only sell and gain recognition simply because they're an exclusive. In my view most of those types of games are on PlayStation consoles. I played Rathcet & Clank on PS2. I'd never want to play it on PC.
.02% of steam users are running PCs that can run games made after 2012, sony was duped. I feel bad for them and for the pc gays that did want the exclusives because it seems like this whole experiment will end with an indifferent shrug in the end.
Why so confidently lie when steam posts their analytics?
I may have exagerrated a bit, but most PC gays are thirdies on laptops that they use to play csgo and indie shit all day.
>a bit
you mean a lot.
I finished Ratchet today and it's a legit fun game with based graphics. I pirated it though.
I like R&C but I won't buy any of these old games until they reach $19.99 or less because they're already old
conversely I paid $150 for Forza Horizon 5 and Starfield to play day one because Xbox releases their PC games day one.
Release Bloodborne. BB and DeS are the only Pony exclusives that matter, and we already have the best version of DeS available. That said, if they released any version of DeS on PC I'd buy it, even if it's the meh remaster.
I wanna sell my PS4 asap.
For me it's the audacity to sell years old games at full price. It's a damn insult for average as frick games.
ONE GAME
Well....
YOU WOULDN'T STOP COMPLAINING THAT STEAM DIDN'T HAVE THEM.....
SONY GAVE THEM TO YOU AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GAVE IN RETURN; NOTHING.
>Add another droplet to the ocean
>Y-You should be thankful, g-goy!
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
Because Bloodborne is the only game we give a shit about. We've already emulated Depm Souls years ago, so we don't really need it.
Demon*
>we
frick off FromDrone holy shit
Nu-ratchet is soulless garbage and many are aware, thats why. Give us littlebig planet 4 on pc
How about a Vagrant Story port?
Cant be bothered to find the video as proof but joefromseattle on yt mentioned few times good points on why sony games kinda flop on PCs
>More competition on PCs (Steam alone has like 50k games while PS5 only like5)
>PC gamers dont suck AAA dicks as much.(nowhere near as much hype for them in ps5 commynity)
But PC gamers do buy PlayStation games. They buy all the PlayStation games that PlayStation players buy. God of War, Spider-Man, Horizon, Uncharted and Last of Us did pretty well.
The OP question is moronic and most people responding to it are moronic. I guess that's about what I should expect from Ganker though.
>sony ports uncharted to pc
>they only port part 4 and 5 in a movie game series
I have no interest to begin with, watched all the games on youtube, but why the frick would anyone even consider it?
>
maybe dont release their games in the state of the TLOU port?
Days Gone port ran perfectly and I actually bought it
would have gotten TLOU too since I never owned a SnoyStation past the 2 when I was a kid but it was ported by a literal bunch of monkeys diversity hires and spaghetti coded fricked beyond saving
Because of the Sony bonus. The only reason Sony exclusives get an iota of attention is because their fans have to buy them in order to validate their purchase of a playstation
>no Dark Cloud 1 and 2
>no attempt to wrestle control of Armored Core titles to bring to steam (also a problem with fromsoft, but regardless sony is also to blame)
>no OG ratchet and clank or jak and daxter
Toss it in the refuse bin.
Out of all the Ratchet and Clank games they could have ported to PC they chose the one with the most divided fanbase. Why not bring the original trilogy to PC (not the remaster). Heck they could have brought in Deadlock.
because those are even loder than the last one.
I mean, if you wanted to play the old ones on PC, you did it a long time ago.
>port shitty games no one wants
>unoptimzed as frick
>charge full price for games that have been our for years
>wtf why is no one buying this?
Everything about the whole situation is just handled so badly. So badly that it makes me feel like Sony fricked it up on purpose to have an excuse every time people ask for PC ports.
>an excuse every time people ask for PC ports
That's a shitty business decision to not get Sony games on PC. Producing all those consoles has to drain tons of money compare to just uploading it to Steam or Epic. Like who is stupid enough to buy consoles these days besides exclusives (most are shit).
What is it with sony porting later entries in a series with missing features and expecting them to do well?
>Uncharted 4 but not the first 3, and it doesn't even come with multiplayer or even the horde mode
>Latest ratchet and clank game, asking people who don't know about emulation to just jump right into a later part of the series
When they're not doing that, they're releasing shitty PC ports, like with TLOU.
Let's not pretend that the story in Ratchet is engaging.
That was not the implication of my post, however, that being said, newcomers to the franchise don't know that.
Yes, when they released shite nobody asked for or cared: gayget and Skunk: The Goat's E Apart, The Lust of Ass, Unsharted, Goy of Onions, Capeshit-man, and the other two games about manlike women. Meanwhile proper and interesting titles, such as Gravity Rush and Bloodborne, are stuck there until people figure out how to emulate them.
They keep porting every exclusive to pc except the one that I actually want
They keep porting shitty shovelware than actual good games to PC.
rift apart is easily the best post ps2 era snoy game
And people think PC will save FF16 sales. Hah!
They're porting the wrong games. Give us Bloodborne, Ghost of Tsushima, ANY of the PS1 or PS2 classics and we'll buy them.
I'd kill for an Ape Escape collection or a port of 2.
Shame about Returnal. Shitty protag aside, really fun game.
We
don't
need
more
Souls games or ass creed games
we don't
thanks and frick off
AGREE on the asscreed, but we need more fromsoft souls games, not the cheap knockoffs they can frick off. I literally only want bloodborne from sony
what a shitty drawing, it's confusing where they are.
Are they on a bed?
If so, why are they wearing shoes?
>buying games
>playing modern games
>using steam non ironically
Jesus Christ this board is full of morons.
>Nu-Ratchet and Clank
>classic
u wot
the fact of the matter is pc gamers know what good gameplay is if the game truly doesn't have elite gameplay it wont do well on pc think about it
playstations fans hated death stranding until it came to pc and pc said it was a great game
now all of a sudden console players love the game now
pc and mobile set the standards in gaming
>death stranding
let's say it's a very divisive game.
On one hand, it's not another mgs, it even quite a bit original
on the other, it's not very fun and still filled with embarassing cinematics.
I don't much about about console IPs.
Like, apparently Ratchet and Clank is supposed to be big? Yeah I just see a furgay platform. You can keep that on your Nintendo bro Steam already has too much furry shit to begin with. Running so badly that it crashes out two thousand dollar grafix cards just proves furgays can't code lol
>paying $60 for a maybe 15 hour game
I'll wait for the sale simple as
Anyone who wanted to play those games already bought a Playstation.
First party titles are overhyped because people want to justify their hardware purchases.
Playstation literally only has bloodborne
All other exclusives are extremely mediocre.
Horizon is literally ubislop carbon copy
God of war is some amalgamation of every shit modern trend
R&C is probably very good, havent played it yet.
last of us is also mediocre/ slightly above mediocre
because I want to play good games
It released before fricking Baldur's Gate, Armored Core 6, Spiderman 2 and Starfield.
The reality is that inflation is nuts for most people right now but games are expensive, so said people are cutting corners and buying their most anticipated titles from the get-go while they wait for their lesser-anticipated titles to go through some Steam Sale 6 months later.
The same thing is happening to movies right now. People don't want to waste money on shitty and mediocre movies - only legitimately good ones or the big "hype-events" like Mario, Spiderverse, Barbie, Oppenheimer, etc. And there's really no need to waste $20 at a movie theater when its going to show up on streaming services in a month or so.
To be fair, the theater experience is always a thing, but in order to hold its own, you have to be completely devoid of phones. Everyone around you, and especially your own.
Most theaters just don't make a point of enforcing that like they should, so the experience is pretty crap and full of things that pull you out of the ride.
>0 mods
>$60
>Can be bought used for $25 on PS5
>No appeal to the normies like nu-GOW or TLOU
What did Sony expect to happen? Anyone dedicated enough to still give a shit about R&C already played it.
Ratchet and Clank games are underwhelming.
They're kids platforming games.
If they published Bloodborne or Demon Souls on PC they'd sell almost as much as Elden Ring did.
>releasing the 20th game in a series first
What were Sony thinking?
Oh my god what is the fricking point of this board? The thing that gets me the most is that Gankerermin shitstains will spam completely worthless threads like this 10 times an hour and then unironically turn around and complain about wojaks or something as if there is ANY sort of quality standard in this shithole. It's just sad and pathetic.
picrelated would sell like hot cakes if they ported/remastered it for PC and released it on steam for a decent price, 20/30 bucks at most
I may be biased because I am a sci-fi fps nut but just porting the 3 campaigns without even the multiplayer it would still sell and make them literal free money
all they need to give it is 4K resolution support, uncapped framerate and raw mouse input
thats literally all they need to do
but they refuse to acknowledge these games even existed because they do not fit in the current woke globohomosexual media agenda because they have a straight white male protagonist and no LBGTroon/diversity propaganda shoved in them
to them it is much more important to remake and re-release Horizon and TLOU for the 5th time or something instead of porting good classic PS3 era games
Because of following:
>games are too expensive now, why bother buying a sequel (no access to older games in the series btw) when there’s older games on sale plus free to play games too?
>The Ratchet fanbase is small for a niche exclusive series now considering Sony didn’t make a new game last gen apart from a pseudo remake based on a tie-in movie. I have a feeling any R&C fan who wanted to play the game, already played Rift Apart
>Audience for PS5 is generally an older one like PC and cartoony platformers aren’t exactly best-selling. Some best-selling games on PSN atm are Spider-Man 2, GTA, Sports games, COD and FF16
>the opposite is the Switch where platformers do so much better and guess what demographic owns the majority?
>Again, games are too expensive thanks to inflation. For instance, not everyone is going to upgrade their PC for 1 game either and have no issue sticking to what games they own plus like I said. There’s tons of cheaper older games too.
>Sony like always didn’t market this release just like they do with their own games that aren’t movie like games (Gravity Rush 2)
all they need to do is not release ports in the state of the PC TTLOU port that came out of late
literally people with 5000 dollar computers couldnt even break 40 stable fps in it
and with other bugs and graphical glitches all over even for whoever was blessed and managed to play at 60 fps
this is literally fricking unacceptable
especially when stuff likee the Days Gone port ran perfectly even on not top of the line setups and was near free of any glitches while still looking gorgeous
they need to stick their head out of their asses and give competent dev teams to do the ports and not moronic monkey diversity hires who cant code worth shit
I'm just not paying more than $10 for a Ratchet and Clank game with Rivet in it. The title characters are being exploited to get the shitty girl power character the spotlight. Nobody would buy a Rivet game except for the homosexuals that jerk off to furry creatures, despite what they delude themselves into thinking that's a crazy niche fetish and regular people hate them.
$10 is my price.
>Newest game in a series
>Classic
Kek. Call me when they release actual Classics From PS1 & PS2
Stop fricking charging $60 for 4+ year old games, that would be a start
Did they seriously think pc players were gonna pay that much for fricking Returnal and Ratchet and Clank?
Spiderman was a weird exception and mainly sold because that was the only port where sony actually paid for the storefront ad when it released
>Sony port comes out on pc
>even if you have a tryhard nvidia shill $6000 pc it runs like dogshit
wow it’s almost like they do that on purpose!
Days Gone port run perfectly because it was ported by people who actually can code
and its the only Snoy game I have on my Steam account
the recent TLOU port was done internally by Naughty Dog with support from Iron Galaxy
tell me if that aint a mother fricking recipe for disaster
literally coded by moronic diversity hires who have no clue how to code
they fricking used the 'export to DX12' API for the entire game even when Microsoft stated clearly it should only be used to render 'simple 2D scenes because it is incredibly heavy on performance'
and what did those idiot monkeys do?
use it for the entire game render
even when there was literally zero reason to make it run in DX12 to begin with
they could have just used DX11 just fine and the game would have ran like a charm
because they don't start at 1.
why tf would i play the 4th installment of a series (uncharted) if I haven't played the other ones.
same applies to ratchet & clank.
and sackboy we don't even talk about.
Violating release parity is the kiss of death, especially on Steam. If you aren't there on release day when the game is relevant you literally snoozed and lost.
The thing is, on PS there isn't much choice of games to pick so, an ok game like God of Cutscene feel like a masterpiece but, on Steam, there are far greater games to play than Sony overpriced garbage games
The recent sony ports absolutely reek of desperation just bc death stranding sold and got reviewed pretty well on steam (both versions)
Sony doesn’t seem to understand steam that well tho, you gotta make sure that people know exactly when a port is releasing and they just don’t do it. They did it for spiderman with a massive storefront ad which workd and then they just assumed people would continue CONSOOMING which is just not how steam works. I literally didn’t even know there was a returnal port until this thread
death stranding was neither developed nor published by sony
It was a sony timed exclusive, that was my point
>Why don't PC gamers buy PlayStation games?
Because Snoy games are dogshit.
nugow and nikocado actually sold very well on steam, which is a shame considering that rift apart is a billion times better than either of them
Rift Apart was trash and I'm not saying that as someone who enjoys GoW or Horizon
nikocado game is 10 euros on key sites literally nobody wants it
it did not sell well on the steam store either
dunno where you are getting your info from
>Horizon Zero Dawn released on PC in August 2020 and had a successful launch, moving over 700,000 digital copies. By March 2022, that number had increased to about 2.4 million copies
I didn't buy it because it is not worth the price
PC gamers shouldn't exist
