@Golem25 Nintendo's been around since the 1800's. They aren't strapped for cash. They're more concerned about sending a message. And regardless of how they attained the IP, litigation is how they roll. I saw this coming since the day this game released
This angle would be more believable if the industry hadn't experienced massive layoffs over the past few years. Too bad all that talent that was let go couldn't help facilitate and nurture the next gen of devs. Sony and Microsoft having a monopoly on gaming isn't doing gamers any favors. This just comes off as a spin story to try and pick up slack after some disastrous decision making in the board room
@naruball Toyota vehicles are expensive, but they'll almost always get you 200,000+ miles of those engines. So they're worth the money. I'm saying that the PS5 Pro is not worth the money. That's like buying a Ford Ranger for the price of a Toyota Tundra (radio not included). Also, I don't know if you read the message I was responding to but that message was more for him
@Pranwell if you want to waste your money on a subpar pc when you could throw in a little more and have a respectable starter pc, go for it. Joking about people strapped for cash and rightfully laughing at Sony's folly is kinda pond scum, tho.
PS5 Pro: $700 + tax
PS5 Pro Disk Drive: $80 + tax
Base PSN: $80/year + tax
Telling Sony to F**k Off: priceless
If they had the game catalog that the PS4 had it would at least their greed would make sense. My favorite PS5 games are mostly PS4 games though. Go back to the drawing board, Sony. You're dropping the ball
@ZeroSum the fact that Sony had a good hard look at this studio and game and still bought them isn't a good look either. I'm not sure anyone could say Sony isn't responsible for this debacle in any capacity. They also pushed for the $40 price point when there was clearly little to no interest in the game. All of these decisions scream out of touch board members in charge of something beyond their understanding
This wouldn't suprise me at all. It's also a good example of to industry titans who have a monopoly on gaming having a pissing match. No one wins in this scenario, unfortunately
@PloverNutter they most certainly would have a say in the price point and psn requirement. That's just silly to say otherwise. Gameplay, I'm sure you're mostly right
The only people who seem to be genuinely shocked by this are the Sony suits and the people who run this blog. This would be a totally different story if the game were F2P. A $40 price tag coupled with PSN requirement was never going to move the needle on Steam. I feel bad for the devs who are probably going to take the brunt of upper management's poor decision making
Shadow of the Erdtree. It's not even really close. Not only is it the same size and scope of most other developers' games, but it already out performed every game on this list in just 3 days. Except for HD2 which sold 12M units. Although, Sony put a sour taste in pc gamers' memories with the whole PSN requirement. And that is a big deal come voting day since 60% of all HD2 sales were on Steam alone.
@CrashBandicoat I think you'd be surprised. There were six confirmed endings after the first week, if I recall correctly. Fromsoftware NPCs follow a similar pattern in each of their games - exhaust all dialogue, and check in from time to time before you beat a boss
@Rmg0731 if you read any of them, you'll see that it's mostly due to performance. I'll admit, I was dipping into 45fps territory from time to time after the pre-dlc launch patch. Quite jarring going from 60fps. The latest patch seems to have smoothed things over though.
Edit: Also, the HD2 complaint was legitimate. They sold that game in countries/regions that they don't support and then told them they weren't going to have access to the game anymore
My best guess is that Sony needs Fromsoftware for something in order to make this happen. They may own the IP, but if they don't have the tools to run the engine then it's like owning keys without the vehicle that goes with it. I bet Sony is really kicking themselves for not purchasing From when they had the opportunity lmao
@Shinnok789 it will all be on the cloud, eventually. Microsoft has begin saying it for a while, and they must be making some headway. I'm sure that's why Sony is pooping their pampers over the PSN login. They want a launcher of their own. 10-15 years from now we'll probably have to subscribe to Game Pass or Playstation Studios launcher directly from our TV. No external box necessary unless you want a swanky AI PC
@Gabrielmpf don't stress it man. Microsoft looks like it's throwing in the towel, but they're not. They didn't give up on the "console wars" perse. They threw down the gauntlet by purchasing the biggest game companies with the largest active user base. They're just preparing for everything to be on the cloud. They may have lost to Sony in terms of the number of console sales, but they're still determined to win the war.
I should add that I don't think Sony and Microsoft being the only ones in charge of game development is a good thing. I think it's bad for gaming as a whole. I'm merely stating what I'm witnessing the giants do
@Mustoe Very possible. I'm sure it's why Sony is making such a stink about PSN. They want their own launcher for when that day arrives. They just need to make it more readily available to those 180 territories...and maybe stop beating their customers with a stick
@Mustoe Xbox is going to the cloud. Soon, phones will be able to play these games. The mobile market is already astronomical. They just see the writing on the wall. Sony is just late to the party with their PC ports. They're coming to the realization that, in an already saturated market, broadening your net is the only way to attain growth
Gamers getting to play games! Amazing. With the lines between consoles and PC blurring, so are the days of games being system specific. The only issue for the foreseeable future is that only a few companies own all of the game developers. Which isn't great imo
@NEStalgia I agree, and I don't regarding the cost of a PC compared to a console. A PC is definitely more money up front. Especially if you want a 4070ti Super and up...but there are plenty of cards that play at 1440 or 4k just fine at the $300-400 mark.
Playstation is generally $500ish at launch. Peripherals are getting more expensive (and more cheaply made, I may add). And PS Plus is $80/year for the BASE tier. Clearly, given the metrics that Sony just provided shareholders, there are plenty of people getting one of the higher tiers. So over a 5-8 year wait for the next console you just spent an additional $400-640 on that same console.
In this light, the PC is more money up front but still comparable in price over the life of the product. That being said, there is definitely an up side to the simplicity of a plug n play system
@Marquez you're right. Let's not decrease upper management pay, fire 900+ people, and raise the cost of PS Plus and games. Oh, and let's prevent 180 regions from being able to purchase the PC titles...seems like a good balance to me. They should keep up the incredible work...
@ProfessorNiggle @Aladin_Run fair enough. There's something to be said for the convenience of a plug n' play system. There is certainly more tinkering with a PC, but I also am tech driven and like gadgetry. I'm simply pointing out that the cost is similar, but one is more money up front while the other is trickle feed
I find it hilarious how many of you are "na na na na goo"-ing PC players. If any of you Sony cheerleaders weren't able to purchase any of these games you'd lose your ***** lmao.
To be fair, the fact that a PSN account can be made in one of those 180 countries isn't the issue. The issue is that Valve and other launchers DO recognize that they're not in the correct region. That's why they're locked out. That's why people are upset
@ProfessorNiggle @Aladin_Run I mean, there are already rumors about the ps6... what's the difference in buying a $1-2k computer or buying a new console every 5-8 years (with an additional $400-640 for the BASE ps plus price tacked onto that). It's actually more cost effective in the long run to have a decent PC. Plus you get access to mods and free games. Kinda a no brainer
@Netret0120 exactly. That's why I gave up on playstation. Sony is ripping us off. In the next few years I'm sure games will release on both simultaneously
@BHPM sony already has my info, so I'm with you there. I wouldn't care about the PSN if it didn't exclude gamers who could otherwise play the game. Unfortunately, Sony cares less about a bad image than they do money and data
@MisterNintendo I would hardly call stating facts crying, but whatever makes you feel better.
As a side note, I'm suprised that you don't want more people playing the game that you also love. That defies logic, but I guess they aren't you, so to hell with them. Right?
@REALAIS the issue isn't that they can't create a PSN. The issue is that Sony is a third party who uses launchers like Steam who do recognize the region is outside of the PSN network.
@BHPM precisely this. I've chatted with people in discord as recently as this morning who are beside themselves because they don't have access. Personally, I haven't purchased the game because I vote with my wallet. I'm hoping that they turn this decision around so that gamers around the world can play. It's beyond reason that people who have a Steam account can't play because they literally can't make a PSN
@Mikey856 they didn't provide numbers, but I did see somewhere that the PC PSN numbers were "significant". Which waters down the actual metric of knowing how much they're actually making via PS Plus
@NEStalgia I'm willing to put money down that the data is less important than shoehorning PC players into their network so they can eventually charge for their "services". Honestly, I've enjoyed all of their games, but I'm not going to continue to support them until they quit attempting to be overlords. They've been king of the hill within the confines of their own castle, but the big wide world isn't going to put up with all of their BS. They're experiencing a bit of a wake up call here
@TrickyDicky99 their platform is shrinking either way. Still significantly more than xbox, but younger generations are foregoing consoles altogether. Then there are old farts like me who bailed on them because they are ripping us off. I would still support their game studios if they weren't being so anti-consumer
@TrickyDicky99 charging PC players would kill their attempts to join that market. I feel yah though, them raising the price for PS Plus to $80 for the base tier was the final straw for me. Made me leave real quick.
@TrickyDicky99 your original argument was that the PC market wasn't worth Sony's time. Which is why I brought up the player count, which overwhelmingly confirms that it is "worth their time". Sony is looking for growth, so naturally they want to tap into that market. Not to mention younger generations, and old farts like me, who are bailing on consoles.
@TrickyDicky99 it's incredible how everyone in this blog, including yourself, complain about how much PC players complain. Maybe look into a mirror once in a while. I'm not going to argue on cost or quality, but there are significantly more PC players than console.
Edit: as a side note, Horizon FW plays at 150fps with DLSS with all the highest settings on. That's not on a 4090, either. A console couldn't touch that
