Sunset Overdrive: no plans for a PC version right now, says developer

So were Ryse and DR3.

Titanfall userbase plummeted on PC because people moved on to other games while xbone was in a software drought. Also the PC version was much better.
Bloodborne on PC would save my wallet quite a bit as I could skip the PS4 purchase this holiday season.
There you go. Where there is smoke....
No plans= PC port confirmed.
This thread lol.
No plans right now. Read between them lines

Well, Isomaniac has been exclusive to Sony and they didn't own any ip until Fuse, that's part of the reason their game never showed up on PC. With Sunset Overdrive though, there is no chain attached. I don't see how unlikely it is for them to bring it to PC.
Exclusivity is never beneficial to consumers. So as a gamer I don't see how having games tied to one console is a good thing. It's only a tool for a console publisher to sell its product.
Exclusivity is bullshit. Always has been.

Its a great decision for the Dev but why would I buy am XB1 if all their exclusives are on PC?
Insomniac may not have released any games on PC, but they do develop games on PC. If I remember correctly they had Fuse running on PC, but never released it.
Yep. Typical PR speak. If there was absolutely no chance whatsoever, they'd unequivocally state that. (On the other hand, that's what Crytek and Capcom said about Ryse and DR3, and it still came out on PC)
Because you want a console, not a PC.
A lot of people actually prefer them. Yeah, I know, it's shocking.
So much salt.

Bloodborne on xbox 360 would save my friend's wallet quite a bit. My other friend needs Sunset Overdrive on iOS. Who cares what the people actually making and selling the game want to do! Fuck you MS, Sony and Nintendo for dictating what to do with your money. My money goes to EA for releasing their sports games on every platform imaginable #NoGamerLeftBehind
Both Crytek and Capcom have a well documented history of releasing games on PC. Insomniac? Not so much.

Prefer them enough to spend $400+ dollars even if they already have a decent gaming PC?
They're never going to convince me to buy an Xbox One if they don't have compelling exclusives. If they keep going to PC then I'll have no reason to pick one up.
I'm only speaking for myself though, I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't have or like gaming PCs, but I'm not them.
I wouldn't hold my breath on this coming out for PC. Not if Microsoft isn't stupid, anyway.
Do you even know what that means? Because you're not making any sense.

Why is it bullshit that Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are funding games exclusively for their platforms? I can see the problem with third party stuff, but shouldn't it be expected that first parties are going to support their system?
And Insomniac didn't have a history of developing for xbox platforms and now it's gonna be the second game for them.
I've seen my share of Nvidia threads, so yeah
.I have no doubt they could bring if to PC but I'm noting that historically they don't tend to. I'd love their games on PC but there's no reason to figure this will end up on PC.
Ruse (Ryse but I'll leave the somewhat appropriate to the thread typo) or Dead Rising 3 are not surprises in context but SSO hitting PC would be pretty unexpected.

I'd say release everything on every platform. The more the merrier in terms of games and gamers. Seriously, exclusives are as ridiculous as region locks in that they're limiting large groups of gamers to play some damn games.

Pretty confident the game will get a port, the other two MS published but not owned games have gotten a port this generation.
It really boils down to whatever deal was made between Insomniac and MS. If it is similar to whatever was done for Gears where MS seemed to, while not owning the IP, have some control over what the Gears games were released on. If Insomniac is able to port the game they will.

What am I salty about, that's all I ask. Some people do like the console experience. I do, and I have a gaming PC literally in the same room.
That's what I mean with you not making sense.
Platform holders supporting their platform is bullshit?

Yeah, fuck them for trying to make their products attractive. If I own a successful restaurant I will share every single recipe on the internet so every hungry belly in the world can eat my food.
Couldn't sound more childish even if you tried, makes it look like you're upset about something.
I also wish people would stop the whole ''but i have a gaming pc as well'' thing, i have owned every single console of the last 15 years (besides the xb1/ps4), not gonna bring that into every thread / discussion etc.
I believe it was satire.
There's a difference between all those games you listed and SSO.
I think this is your own insecurities speaking, but sure. I'm salty as hell.

They're all first party games. Only difference is Insomniac owns their IP.
I think you should also consider who the publisher is...

That's some straight up BS socialist thinking and I don't agree. You don't make a console and then allow all of its games to be playable on some other company's console. Otherwise you have no draw in selling your own console. This is especially true for the xbox one, which is the underdog at the moment. Should people who buy an iOS version of a game or app get the Android version of the game for free later on down the road simply because they switched to a different phone platform? No, because it's a completely different operating system that requires completely different code and work to produce. Devs gotta get paid and same goes for console makers. This isn't some charity just because it would make you personally happy.
Also, why is it that as soon as a game is announced for the xbox one, hoards of people - who love to mock and scorn microsoft (xbox one haters galore) at every possible chance - immediately feel like the game should also come out on pc. How many sony exclusives ever come out on PC? Am i allowed to piss on sony and call them lazy and dumb? It should go both ways. And there's your salt for the day.

Well they may want to after choosing the losing console once again.
And i would be insecure over what? Getting even more console "exclusives" on my main platform?

This is the most popular sunset overdrive thread in weeks. So is it the game suddenly really awesome to so many people because it might be on PC? Or was it always a cool game with everyone and they just never wanted an X1 for?
It's the curse of the Xbox console. People will always think every exclusive will come to PC. Someone should do a study.

Nice PC version you say Insomniac? The theme of 3rd party xbox exclusives seem to console exclusive. I wonder how it will look on PC.
If they didn't want people to speculate especially with the ports of exclusive xbox games to pc, they should have said they don't respond to rumors. That would leave people unable to think it's happening like a "No comment" would.

" would.For me from all the footage i've seen so far it just seems way too slow and the aiming looks bad because you can't do movement plus aiming as well on a console.
120fps / higher resolutions / good AA and way better controls would do wonders with this game.
Controversy is what fuels threads. The actual game doesn't seem to get people excited nearly that much.

Is this a joke? You guys say that it's good that Microsoft is releasing all their exclusives to Pc. That's a fucking joke, then what is the point In buying an Xbox One? If all their exclusives come to pc then their console is absolute. What I think and I think patcher is right, is that Microsoft is moving away from consoles. Since Pc gamers are use to waiting for AAA games, why should they buy a Xbox?
