Days Gone Is Still a Stunner in PC Features Trailer

I’d love to see 21:9 aspect support on PS5!!

Looks good. I might give it another go on ps5, only ever experienced the day one stuttering framerate version on base ps4. Surprised to see I have the platinum for this so must have enjoyed it

The third party controllers section was so funny to me

All they did for hiding the Xbox and Switch Pro Controllers was remove their labels lol

@Oddbodjunior It seems like a no brainer, plenty people who play multiplayer games use a monitor anyway.

The ultimate insult, now it even gets a trailer before the PS5 version and most of these stupid playstation fans put on likes.
They will get the service they deserve.

@Kratos-sensei Honestly my position on Sony putting their games on PC has evolved to they should make a deal with Microsoft to put Days Gone and Horizon on Game Pass.

The whole point of putting them on PC is to make money right? Since that's all that matters no none can make it rain like Microsoft. "But Microsoft is competition" so is Steam so I don't see the problem.

So Days Gone and and Horizon, both better on PC with no native PS5 ports. Thanks Sony...

@Kratos-sensei
"Before the PS5 version?"
You are asking for a native PS5 port?
Coz it already received the unlocked fps patch for PS5.

@Oddbodjunior trust me I would too. It's one of the reasons keeping me from buying one at this time

Why is the trailer only at 30 fps? Did someone at Sony hit the wrong render option on Vega Pro?

@RBMango especially when it says "captured at 59.94 fps" (why not 60?) in the video

the negativity in sony facebook posts is something else..i'm curious to see if jim ryan can make things even worse.

Hoping to see 32:9 ultra wide screen support as well. Control, horizon zero dawn and the medium all look fantastic on my crg9

I'm still playing it on my base PS4 in dip in and out of my 2nd playthrough when nothing else inspires me, its always a blast riding the road

I am truly sorry but I simply don't support this path Sony is taking. Exclusives are the thing that sold the d*mn platform and now they pull this off? Seriously?
No wonder people want Jim Ryan to resign...

@Juanalf Steam and EGS aren't in direct competition with any consoles. The only people in direct competition with each other are console manufacturers. PC's already gotten a bunch of second party Sony content even before Sony started putting their first party games on there

Putting it on Game Pass for PC isn't benefitting Steam, it's benefitting Microsoft

@Kratos-sensei lmao I saw you and a bunch of other salty ass people on the PlayStation Blog

Your PS4 isn't going anywhere. You'll live

"They will get the service they deserve" Joker sounding ass

No one likes this game(according to 'The Internet') I liked it but it does bother me still that this is on PC to now and SONY are wasting PlayStation time on a PC port :-/

@TheFrenchiestFry I’ve already sold my PS4 and for the rest I won’t be a pigeon like you.

It's good to see PlayStation fans making their voices heard when it comes to these PC ports, unlike Xbox fans who just succumbed to Microsoft's PC day-and-date strategy and couldn't even challenge them to remove Xbox Live Gold for free to play games until just recently.

@truerbluer Thank you! People on Twitter are like "ImAgInE BeInG MaD AbOuT A GaME GetTING a PC Port!!!11!"
And don't forget the "The devs will get more money!" argument lmao!
Horizon had mediocre sales as far I know and you think Sony got the message but nope.

To be honest I'm kind of hoping it sells in big enough numbers on PC in order to force Sony to rethink their decision to cancel the sequel.

This is the only potential benefit to porting the original to PC. With HZD the sequel was already in development before the PC port although this has led to a delay in the PS5 upgrade.

I don't really like this strategy, keep the exclusives, well, exclusive.

@Kratos-sensei

Oooh what a protester we have have here. Such a rebel with a cause because a game's being ported after Sony basically stopped caring how much it made on PS4

Are we getting some #PlayStationLivesMatter rallies now

Are we going from #BLM to #PLM here

Are you boutta enforce the "PlayStation Proclamation" and free us from our PC sins

Come on Sony jump all the way in. Just release all your games day one to PC that way I can abandon consoles. I’ve been tempted with Microsoft’s direction, so, just dive in. If all Sony cares about is money then they may do better solely focusing on software.

@blinx01 Days Gone looks great ot PS5. I played it on normsl PS4 and see major differences.

@OmegaStriver Yeah MS does it because they like you... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Divergent95 Horizon got mediocre sales because it made all the money it needed to make to be successful on PS4. PC was just them bringing the game to a new audience as an extension to the brand before they announced the sequel, which is still PS-exclusive

Horizon came out like 3 years later and Days Gone is coming out 2 years after it did on PS4. Don't think of this as Sony wanting to actually do multiplatform stuff frequently. They ain't doing this because they think PC should be a second pillar to their business. It's likely they put these games out first because they're games that Sony probably stopped counting sales for on their original platform a while back, whereas Microsoft is literally treating PC like a second pillar to their business like how Nintendo used to have dedicated home consoles and handhelds be seperate from one another

@Divergent95 According to SteamSpy, HZD has to date sold between 1 million - 2 million on Steam after being on sale for almost 9 months, which frankly seems very weak for a game of that calibre. Not forgetting the 30/70 split with Steam on the sale price.

Jim Ryan in his GQ interview said "there was no massive adverse reaction" to the HZD port so they'll continue. I'm thinking... did you even look at your own PS Blog comments or PS community sites like here? Even the polls show that PS fans are overwhelmingly against this.

@truerbluer The only PS "fans" who probably tried to pass this off as a bad thing are the same people who are probably already super biased towards their platform and won't play on anything else

I saw a Twitter video of some person who legit broke his PS4 in a fit because of Horizon's announcement on PC and apparently Herman Hulst was being sent death threats from some of those same people

Yeah. "Fans". People who actually don't dedicate their time to championing PlayStation as this super superior platform and get PTSD whenever the word "PC" is mentioned on their press stuff are probably fine with it at large. Hell Horizon on PC got one of my friends who was mostly an Xbox guy to get a PS5 when he can find one

Oh great, a pc release trailer for one of my favourite ex playstation exclusives that probably won't even get a sequel. I hope it sells like crap to discourage Sony with more pc port plans. Unless as another comment said it could help Sony to do a sequel. Having said that Sony bend apparently wanted to make it a multilayer online game, so perhaps a good thing we might not get a sequel anyway.

@TheFrenchiestFry Nintendo fans aren't clamouring for BotW to be released on other platforms. Xboxers wouldn't be too happy if Halo were to launch on PS4/5. Why are we meant to be the generous ones?

We even have the ridiculous situation where a game made by a Sony-owned Studio is going to be releasing their brand new game on GP day one whilst charging PS owners full price.

They really need to keep their 'exclusives' exclusive otherwise what's the frigging point?

@TheFrenchiestFry Your arguments are sound but when it comes to business, nothing is set in stone. With the recent announcements of Days Gone not getting a proper sequel, the whole Last Of US milking, it wouldn't surprise me to see Sony abandoning the exclusive practice.
Tbh, I am a bit angry but I am also rational. Voting with our wallets will send a clear message : )

@truerbluer On the PS Blog yes, but on general social media sites, the response is mixed. Neutral to positive is what I'm seeing lol.
Like I previously said, I lot of people simply don't care and some of them are "happy" that PC players can finally flex their rigs xD

@Col_McCafferty Nintendo fans also didn't clamour when The Wonderful 101 and Octopath Traveler, formerly Nintendo-published games came out on PS4, Xbox One and PC but other people definitely threw a fit when Bayonetta 2 was announced as a Wii U exclusive despite the fact the original was multiplatform

Nintendo is a super traditionalist company so something like PC ports is practically never to be expected from them. Sony second party games have been coming to PC for years so it was only a matter of time before they threw their hat into the ring. I think people forget PC isn't actually in direct competition with any consoles. Something like Horizon on PC isn't the same thing at all as Halo being put on PlayStation or Breath of the Wild on Xbox. PC is neutral and is bolstered by a large and super active playerbase that likewise consists of people who play on consoles as well, so some people who probably played the game on PS4 might actually buy it again on PC and it just means Sony can actually gauge the kind of content people want from them on a broader scale. I have a friend who was primarily an Xbox/PC gamer but he's going with PS5 this generation because he got Horizon on PC and he liked it. It's a test the waters thing, not necessarily a super committal thing. Sony is still in it to sell hardware and aren't as ambitious about it as Microsoft.

@TheFrenchiestFry Sorry but that's a load of bull!

Of course PC is a competing platform, the idea that it isn't is absurd. If you've got enough money and space to acomodate every platform then no but for the rest of us then it's definitely a factor when it comes to choosing how and what to play.

Maybe some PC owners who have played HZD may be tempted to buy a PS5 (if they can get one!) in time for its sequel or more likely think, give it a few years and I'll be able to play it on my rig.

@Col_McCafferty And if you're still only committed to PS4 you still have the benefit of knowing your games are coming to PS4 first if they're from first party

It took Horizon like 3 years to come to PC, and then immediately after its sequel was announced just for PS4 and PS5. Days Gone was PS4 exclusive for 2 years as well. This isn't the same as how Microsoft are doing things where they basically want any and every device they have at their disposal to have some form of Xbox integration. It's still obvious that going forward if you want the first party content as immediately as possible, you still have to buy a PlayStation. The people who are willing to wait for a PC port are probably going to be waiting 2-3 or possibly more years and even then, it's just last gen games right now. You still have to buy a PS4 or PS5 for Forbidden West, or a PS5 specifically for stuff like Ratchet, Returnal and the new God of War. If PC gets the first God of War game there's no guarantee at all that they won't be waiting at the very least 5 years for another one, and by then it won't matter because Sony would likely have stopped counting sales and players on PlayStation, or they might announce a new game in a particular series that's only on PlayStation platforms. It's commitment, but it's not really dedication to PC.

@Divergent95 Sure but you have to understand that in general social media there's a lot more PC and Xbox people who are part of the conversation rejoicing about this news and using this a crutch to diminish the necessity and value of PS hardware. But if you look at PS specific sites and communities, the vast majority dislike the direction Sony are heading in and are also questioning the need to even buy PS hardware if exclusives will go elsewhere anyway.

Damn dudes, lol. How about this:

I personally was a PC gamer UNTIL I broke an got a PS3 for all the exclusives. I liked sitting on my couch with a console so much, I ended up just buying ALL of my games on PS3 (headaches from bad performance be darned).

Thanks to Steam sales, I double-dipped on many of my favorite multi-platform PS3 titles.

Now that PSN is closing down for PS3, I'm uncertain about the future of my PS3 library (90% of which is digital), and yet all of my Steam games are perfectly fine.

In the future, I am planning to be primarily a PC gamer because of the horrendous sunsetting procedures for online games that Nintendo and now Sony are displaying. Does my PS4 library now have an expiration date? It's all very unsettling to me.

In this case, moving forward, I have nooo problem waiting to see if there will be a PC port for ALL PS "exclusives." Just being honest.

I wonder if there ever was an example in history where a platform has lost value or sequels have lost quality because they previous games have been ported to other systems

@Col_McCafferty I loved HZD but I don't consider exclusives a good enough reason to buy a console

@Flaming_Kaiser I don’t know how you read my statement and decided to go with that statement for yours.

Microsoft putting games on PC has nothing to do with liking people. It’s about money.

Regarding PlayStation,

Let’s say in the future 15 million move to PC, that’s a lot of PSN store sales lost when they get 30% of every sale.

They could lose a lot more than just gaining the sale of a PS exclusive here and there.

I already own a PS5. I bought it because I loved the games from the PS1-PS4 but am not a fan of the direction Sony is going and if I can buy a PC that offers Steam games, 3rd party games, Microsoft games and maybe eventually all PS games it’s the logical decision if you love to play many different games.

@TheFrenchiestFry
(sigh) Once again, without fail, the "fanboys just don't want to share their games" argument is listed as the ONLY reason why anyone would be against Sony doing this. So I will once again list the reasons to be against this that go beyond that:

• There is no benefit to existing PS users whatsoever. None. Zip. And that is the main difference between Sony and MS here. MS has a system that literally allows existing Xbox owners to benefit from the day-and-date PC releases. Sony does not have that, so their users get nothing. And it's not unreasonable for PS users to not be okay with that.
• By default, PlayStation owners receive the inferior versions of Sony's games. Aside from graphical enhancements, mod support alone makes the PC version of any game superior to all others. Again, it's not unreasonable for PS users to not be okay with that.
• Resources that go into these PC ports are effectively not going into ongoing development of games or whatever else. Once again, this is just Sony and Sony's developers expending resources on something that will have zero benefit for the existing PS userbase.
• Dilution of the identity of the PlayStation brand. Now I know this might be seen as a minor thing overall and some might disagree with it, but it is still a valid reason as far as I'm concerned, especially with the appearance of Sony doing this just for the cynical motive of pure profit (as they themselves have admitted). And let's face it, if brand identity just meant nothing at all, then what would be the downside to Sony also releasing their games on Xbox and Switch?

cont.

• The undermining of the "Only on PlayStation/PlayStation Exclusive" labeling. How are we even to know what's exclusive to PlayStation anymore with Sony now actively misleading us with "only on PlayStation" label on games that will now appear outside of PlayStation? And this doesn't change just because they have now dropped the "Only on PlayStation" moniker with the PS5, because they still market their exclusives as exclusives in their trailer videos and the like. In fact, there was a recent kerfuffle when Sony released a Demon's Souls trailer which seemed to insist it was merely a timed PS exclusive, and then they went out of their way to take the video down and replace it with one claiming it to be an actual PS exclusive. And that just seems more than a bit silly because, who knows, maybe Demon's Souls will indeed make its way to PC someday? We don't know. We explicitly don't know because it's as if Sony actually wants to mislead us at this point. And hell, people will buy Sony consoles just for one exclusive. How the hell should they be expected to feel if they bought a PS4 just for Days Gone, and realized all they needed to do was wait a measly two years for it? No matter how you slice it, it's just straight up dishonesty, and it's not a good look.
• Sony will be encouraged to be less committed to their hardware and userbase. When considering how much these PC ports do not benefit PS users, I don't think it's outlandish to suggest that Sony just won't be all that committed to us anymore. This is especially apparent in the moves they've been making lately. For crying out loud, Sony is already releasing a game on Xbox GamePass DAY ONE while we PS users have to pay full price for it. Between that, and of course, their closing of three storefronts, including that of the less-than-decade-old Vita which was STILL getting games made for it, it almost seems as if Sony is just actively showing contempt for us now.

I thought the cover image was Titanic for a second

@OmegaStriver Who says it would have been a sale if it wasnt sold on PC.

@Flaming_Kaiser Im saying the potential profit they could get on PC by selling their games may be way less than the sales they could get in the PSN Store if customers decide to move over to PC. I’ve heard they get around 30% of EVERY sale transaction on their store. So, if they are kinda pushing their base away, they stand to lose much more than gain from selling games on Steam.

I thought the game was fine. Just not good enough to buy again.

Wow kind of find it sad how fanboys get so angry with their precious PS games going to PC ! like these corporations care.
Its just video games , they know PS users are not goin to abandon their fav platform just beacuse a few games go on PC.
If there was no profit for sony then they wouldnt do it.

Bloodborne pls
