Nintendo understands it way better.A truckload of people would. Sony understands this better than anyone else. This is why, outside of a GAAS or MP title, you won't see them exploring day & date.
The fifa crowd isn't what brings in the big money. Loosing high spending customers is the talking point.
Yes Id move.Many PS players say this as a way to try and prove that Day 1 PC would hurt console sales. So, i think I should straight up make a poll. Would you jump ship to PC? Do you think friends who play on PS5 would do the same thing too?
fixedOnly mental cases buy games day 1
Robocop runs 60fps at 4k with dlss. Some bits I had to tone down like shadows etc. Some others are maxed.Yea for most games, it's sufficient, right? I think my concern is really about future UE5 games. While games like Remnant 2 played great after a bit of tinkering with the settings I feel like there's gonna be some games coming out within the next year or so that might push things to the limit.
I hope Sony continues to go day and date with PC after Helldivers 2 success, but if they keep a wide gap between releases I might just say fuck it and get the Pro.
I like pretending that anyone is buying and dumping Nintendo games. Emulation is mostly piracyPC: buy, dump, emulate
No, the deal originally was that Core Design wanted TR to be a Saturn exclusive, but Eidos, their publisher, didn't think it was a good idea financially, so they made Core build a PS1 version of the game. And to combat that, SEGA arranged a 6-month timed exclusivity deal, IIRC.
Once the PS1 version came out, it rapidly outsold the Saturn one and PS1 became the lead platform for Tomb Raider 2. Once Stolar made that infamous comment, lots of 3P who were already weary about Saturn began dropping Saturn altogether for their games, so PS1 (and to a lesser extent, N64) got defacto exclusives. That's when Sony and Eidos made the exclusivity deal.
As for Tomb Raider on N64...so what? For starters like RE2 it would've required an insane amount of rework to fit on a regular cartridge, and Core Design's engine was tailored specifically for PlayStation hardware starting from the second game. Eidos also probably felt N64 made no commercial sense for the game given the effort that'd of been required to handle the port, vs. making new installments. And FWIW, the Sony/Eidos deal didn't stop Tomb Raider 4 from coming to Dreamcast, now did it?
I'm not system-bashing, I'm just being direct and upfront about the situation. RE1 Saturn was given to Tose because Capcom had no experience doing 3D on the Saturn at that time. And once they did release a 3D Saturn game, it was a mediocre fighter spinoff of Final Fight.
Lol no; Kalinske's probably the main reason SEGA of American had so many financial problems during the late Genesis/32X/CD era aside Bernie Stolar coming in and screwing things up even further with Saturn after Kalinske resigned.
Dunno what bringing HOTD2 or Hundred Swords into this accomplishes; they were made on hardware even more powerful than the Dreamcast, of course they'd look better at a technical level than PS1 games.
IMO when you consider all the benefits you'd get going PC in that scenario, just makes too much sense to switch that way if you're a hardcore or core enthusiast. Casuals and mainstream, I can understand more wanting to stick with the console regardless.
Spot on post.I just enjoy the console experience more, so it’s a no for me. Especially with me otherwise having no need for a PC at home given how strong mobile devices are these days.
No issues with whatever Sony wants to do with bringing games to PC. If PC Gamers want to pay $69.99 for day one releases for narrative driven single player games, then go ahead Sony, add to that ROI so we get more and better games.
You prefer to play on consoles but would jump to PC because.... reasons???????Yeah. As much as I prefer to play on consoles
People saying theres no downsides to PS doing this are just in denial or dont see it clearly. Ive seen some hardcore Ps gamers leave already
And take there money to Steam.
Id do the same
I'm not impressed by the PC versions of Sony's 1st Party Games. Basically, you could trade in your PS5 and add $200 to own a PS5 Pro. Then, with the upcoming PS6, I don't see any issues in playing all of them on a Playstation. I believe it's the most sensible way to go.
Can do the same with PC components. Trade in your GPU (for example) to a local broker or sell on a marketplace and get most of your returns back to invest in an upgrade. You have way more flexibility and options as upgrades go. And you're not locked into hardware or particular software platform/vendors on PC, unlike on consoles.I'm not impressed by the PC versions of Sony's 1st Party Games.

I wish there was a new $1000 GPU every 6 months.Nope…I don’t have $1,000+ every six months to upgrade. I like to come home after 10-12 hours at work, boot a console and play a game for a couple of hours. I guess I’m not “die hard” enough.

Not really. Higher IQ without the need to drop to 30fps but that’s a given. No temporal upscalers, no RT, no Reflex, no significantly better visuals, nothing.What? The pc version of helldivers is like night and day.
Both alternatives are viable; I lack familiarity with PC gaming, and there is a "potential investment" of time required to configure optimal settings or address minor issues. A certain inclination exists within me to acquire a beefy PC, particularly for games such as Doom, FH, Flight Simulator, and other multiplatform games that exhibit their true brilliance on PC.Can do the same with PC components.

SEGA just wanted to make Tomb Raider a timed exclusive that was for the 1st game and the game was already right at the tail end of development on the PC, Saturn and PS by the time SEGA Europe came in looking for a timed deal
This is made very clear in the various articles and Retrogamer/Eurogamer interviews on the making of Tomb Raider. Stolar silly (but truthful) comments had no impact on Tomb Raider 2 on the Saturn SONY had made its move and it wasn't just the Saturn but SONY made sure no consoles could have Tomb Raider as part of the deal
Tomb Raider 2 ran on the same Quad based engines from the 1st game it was hardly super optimised to take full advantage of the PS. You talk out the music and FMV and TB2 isn't that big and would be more than possible.
If you could get the likes of Nuclear Strike, C&C on the N64 you could get Tomb Raider 2 on the system. RE was outsourced for various reasons not just to do with 3D but also because Capcom was so busy on various other projects at the time, which is why Code Veronica was outsourced.
Tom left SEGA in a mess and dealt Bernie a bad hand but to his credit, he did turn SEGA America around in terms of bleeding money and got the sports range back on track, even on a reduced budget and massive layoffs. His big mistake was to make that silly speech in public when everyone knew the Saturn wasn't the future. Hell even SEGA Japan was putting some of its biggest upcoming titles on the Dreamcast instead of the Saturn even Sonic and to make matters worse Bernie picked a silly fight with WD over E3 booth funding.
Having WD on the Saturn in late 97 and 98 alone would have made such a difference Whatever you think of Vic or the corp they had some serious nice games and without the silly fight, I bet WD would have brought over Grandia, Gun Griffion 2, Silloute Mirage both Lunars and maybe the likes of Prices Crown. But Vic confirmed to EDGE mag that he had the Battle Garrega, Souky, Thunder Force V Sengoku Blade and more all licenced and ready to be brought to the USA Nothing to change the fortunes of the system but very nice for owners of the Saturn who didn't like reading Japanese.
I always liked WD packaging even over the Japanese originals. Their Lunar 1 and 2 PS1 games were so good for extra stuff and packaging.
In keeping with SEGA I never had any issue when they were porting many of their Saturn games to the PC. Never looked to compare PC's to consoles and see them as completely different and separate systems and not rivals
Now if SONY was porting some of its games to rival consoles that would be a different matter
That's true. PC's aren't as hard to make out nor figure out and quite a few people here are going off limited experience with gaming on PC.Both alternatives are viable; I lack familiarity with PC gaming, and there is a "potential investment" of time required to configure optimal settings or address minor issues.

A PC built around a RTX 5090 could tempt me
If consoles will eventually shrink than people will excuse it with market change or whatever instead of that sony and ms got rid of themselves.
Exclusives aren’t what makes Sony gaming money.
Exclusives stimulates console sales. Overall software sales is how the money is made. A Sony game gets you to buy the system. The 6-10 games the average gamer buys for the system over its life span in addition is what makes Sony its money. They more consoles in peoples homes, the more games (exclusive and not) that are sold.
You stop having exclusives and you lose a very large reason to buy the system. It’s just that simple.
I've been playing on console for around 40 years. It suits me, plus I prefer buying physical games. As well, as important as first-party games are, they're not the primary reason I play on PS.
Missing the point. Not everyone has $2000 computers that can run these games at 4K. The reason why consoles are popular is not just because of game exclusives. It's also cost to performance.
