Without all the data or timing for release it's hard to say but I don't know whether it's too soon for that one.

Also neither Demons Souls or Returnal are listed there for a pc platform so lets not go making stuff up, you might get the Era lot started with a billion threads of “confirmed sony day and date on pc with all titles forever” nonsense.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 13-09-2021, 20:21.

I'm getting a PS5 for my birthday in a few months but my wife and I have started looking around this week.
Japanese shops are mainly doing lottery-style reservations and so far we've entered Bic Camera's one(the draw will be on the 22nd).
I'm focusing on the newer disc-drive model but my wife asked if I'd be ok with the older model if it became available.
Seems the newer model is better and I'm not in a rush to get one but should I strike while the iron is hot?

If Sony have recouped publishing and development costs, sales on PS5 have flatlined due to the existing userbase not caring about the title (or like me, those interested cannot get a PS5), and there is interest for the PC audience, why not putting them on Steam? Next to nothing money is better than no money. Demon's and Returnal are hardly system sellers at this point.

Everyone.buying games at full price very well knows that the same games will be available at half the price or less in two months. Shops need to clear shelves and inventory for The Big Next Thing and they liquidate The Old Big Thing, with digital following suit.

Old games on pc to bring more people into potential console sales. New games right away on pc will be kiss of death for that business strategy.Last edited by fishbowlhead; 14-09-2021, 10:08.

People buy into the Sony brand for games they can’t and know wont be available elsewhere. Well Sony have relented on this policy juat recently but their strategy will probably remain,

It'll likely be a case by case judgment. God of War will come to PC to try and make people buy a PS5 to play Ragnarok as they won't want to wait years and years for the game to get a PC release. Games like Returnal and Demon's Souls make sense to get ported quicker because they're not franchise titles that are going to get numerous sequels and they also don't have huge legs on PS5 compared to the companies biggest hitters. Sony will want steady revenue from Nixxus and having a steady slate is key, PS4's exclusives won't provide that on their own.
Presumably Uncharted 1-3 will be on the horizon too. Maybe Wipeout too

Only rumours at the moment, but Firesprite are working on Horizon VR. Now I doubt very much (if this is real) that it'll be a separate game, I think they'll be developing a VR mode for FW.
Sony said they want AAA games in VR, what better way then to be able to play the full Horizon FW in VR.
