It's a very pretty game and it would be great if people could experience it in higher resolutions at higher frame rates.

I don't remember that at all. I remember them saying it's 100% up to Sony, and that they'll try to ask Sony if they'll allow a PC release.
It might have been something they said when I asked them about it directly, I can't remember.

This is correct. They tweeted that SONY has the decision.
Just to be clear from few interviews and Twitter conversations from former co-founder Jessica Curry, The Chinese Room and Sony were not and maybe they are still not in good relationship. And now they are working on PC port based on SteamDB that is for me really strange.
P.S. Danganronpa entries are also receiving regular updates since leak.

Anybody know what put them in a bad relationship?
Nope but it was serious enough that even Christmas wishes on Twitter between Shue and Jessica were awkward.

It doesn't looks so bad in the end
EDIT : Ha you saw them too. But you know, I think if there was something serious you wouldn't have any christmas exchange on Twitter at all.

Sony own the IPs; it's presumably just that they're becoming a bit more willing to explore other platforms, and honestly I expect sales of these games on console are so slow by now that giving them a late release on PC will barely affect software sales on PS4.
I don't see that happening because they are tentpole releases which sell the hardware. But these smaller games make a lot of sense, once their profitability on consoles is played out.
Out of interest, how was Helldivers on PC? I thought it was a superb game on PS4 but it didn't seem to make much noise on PC.

Leak continues to be confirmed. FFX pls.
Steamspy has it at around 119,000 owners so it did pretty well.

I would assume the general toils of working with a large publisher. Not all people cope with that the same way. Curry was under a lot of stress during Raptures development.
Well, FFX/X-2 (and yeah SE will sell those bundled at 99.9%, because otherwise would mean totally rework the PS4 master, since there are several boni added like Eternal Calm and the mini-game for FFX-2) is pretty much confirmed by the fact FFIX is going to be released.
SE released all their FF (excluding 7 and 8) in a progressive order, from III to VI, so now there's IX, after this X/X-2.
It's an excellent port as well.

I was thinking about making a topic about this, but I have no evidence - I reckon TCR have signed up with Sony for another game (as it seems Rapture was very successful), and that's the reason for Jessica Curry leaving TCR. I read a comment from Shu Yoshida a few weeks ago saying something like "Our relationship turned really toxic in the last year, but I wish her well in the future", and that got me thinking that Curry's departure is because she doesn't want to work with him any more, while it probably makes sense for the company to stick with Sony. That's all I have to go on so it's very little and a big assumption on my part (especially as prominent people leave companies all the time once a big project is finished), but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.
Regardless, it will probably (hopefully) be at least 18 months before we find out about TCR's next project. We knew about Rapture years ago, and I'm not a fan of hype cycles which are 2-3 years or more.
EDIT - I see Jarod already pasted the images of Shu's tweet in post #59.
...huh? Sony owns the IP and this would be the second SCE IP to ever release on PC. How was this "pretty much sure"? Or are you talking about after the Steam leaks?

It seems Sony is going to start publishing their smaller 2nd party Indie published PSN games on Steam now.
So Microsoft will publish some of their titles on Win10 while Sony will publish some of their smaller games on Steam.

Glad I didn't get past a couple minutes of the PS4 copy I grabbed on sale now that this is confirmed. The ps4 performance left a lot to be desired.

Maybe their contract with Sony always allowed for a PC version. Sony bought the exclusive console rights to Street Fighter 5 but is fine with the PC version, this could be a similar situation.
Sit back and relax type of game for me. Love it. I knew what I was getting into tho... after keeping up on it. It's basically that....walk, explore.
The Steam leak, and also I think Sony offers to those indie devs the possibility to put their game on PC IF the console version is exclusive for PS4. This would explain why there are so many indies available only on PC/PS4, like The Witness, Helldiver, Rapture, probably Journey, Grim Fandango (at least for now) etc.
Its a very different case, Sony owns this IP, they dont own SF.
Looks like they are just putting some smaller games on PC to gather impressions and reactions. I like cuz its a great game and more people should play it.

Yeah, this looks pretty real at this point.Other images are uploaded too:

You're mixing up Sony IPs and third party console exclusives. Sony putting their own games like Rapture and Journey on Steam is notable as it has never been done before Helldivers. Games like Grim Fandango, The Witness, Boundless, Paragon showing up on PC is business as usual.

That is not surprising. They said if Sony allowed it, they would release this on PC.
Well, that's the surprising part. Until last month with Helldivers Sony wasn't generally in the business of allowing these sort of ports.

Hopefully this opens the door to other Sony published games to launch on PC.
Jesus am I happy about this. One of my favorite games of 2015 but it had some serious performance hiccups and playing first-person with a controller is always a slog.
Welcome home.
It's a first-party game made by a small team working with Santa Monica while signed to a multi-game exclusivity deal. We had absolutely no reason to believe this would happen.

Oh, yeah, you are right.
Anyway I think Sony just did the right thing on releasing those games on PC, simply because, soon or later, the life of a game will end, expecially on console.
Let's take Journey as example:
-released on PS3
-discounted several times
-released on PS4 (people who bought it on PS3 received it for free, while PS4 owners needed to pay for it)
-discounted several times
The next step will be releasing it on Plus, and at that point the game will be pretty much dead (from a marketing's point of view, I mean, I doubt after including it in Plus, the game will sell so many copies)
By releasing it on PC, a new life cycle will start (release on full price or with a little discount, further discounts following).

This game is a big part of the reason why I bought a PS4, and I don't regret it one bit.
Hope the Steam release can help it find a wider audience.

And maybe a mod for faster walking speed.

I'm not sure about actual sprint, but the default walking speed should be a lot faster - I'd say a bit faster than the 'run' speed should be the standard. Sprinting around would spoil the atmosphere, but it certainly could do with a quicker pace. I'm sure someone will take care of that with a mod.
That's strange. The PS4 version is 60 fps, correct? A quick Google search for performance issues, returns people saying it runs smoothly. The Vita version, on the other hand, wasn't so good.
He's talking about Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, not Helldivers.
Sprint should've been unlocked after completion. Not sure I'm going for Platinum trophy if I need to trudge through the game again for the collectibles. I enjoyed the narrative but let me run around for replays.
