Kinda nice to see Sony just say like “yeah the decision to do this is pretty cut and dry”.

Days Gone, exclusively announced for PC in a GQ magazine interview.

Hopefully they are not EGS permanent exclusives.

gently caress yeah, I was just starting to get into Days Gone before I got back into PC gaming and couldn’t take the load times anymore. Like, not only have SSDs spoiled me but Days Gone had truly awful load times on the base model PS4.

Days Gone, the game with the main character who usually talks like he just ran down a flight of the stairs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo-iG1CnDf8 Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Feb 23, 2021 |

I'm sure it's been done to death, but it's amazing how a company like Blizzard can gently caress up remastering something as simple a WC3. And then, on top of that, just completely abandon it instead of making it better. Just like... how? What a complete and utter failure.

The most impressive part is them loving the original up at the same time Any copy of the game gets patched to Reforged without the graphics update

I preordered this based on how great the Starcraft Remaster was, forgot about it, saw how bad it was when it came out and forgot to get a refund for it. So it's forever inked on me as a moment of shame and regret. Excited to see how bad they gently caress up Diablo 2 remaster.

I was shocked as hell when I saw that they were selling a package that includes The Lost Vikings, Blackthorne, and Rock and Roll Racing. Wondering if they're any good (especially unsure about RNR racing given the state of music licensing these days).

I can’t see Sony doing big tent pole games on PC but when it’s something like Days Gone that underperformed I could see them hoping to recoup some more of their investment.

Wondering if they're any good (especially unsure about RNR racing given the state of music licensing these days). I believe I read they did brand new covers for the music in RNRR, and also told everyone to turn the music off, even the MIDI versions, while streaming or else you're probably hosed. Pretty sure all three of those games have been free on some crusty old corner of Bnet for ages, but hey, Blizzard has to find some way to make money without actually making anything new.

Huh, interesting. I didn't think the old versions were playable on bnet, they just had a section where their existence was acknowledged lmao

Humble just sent an email saying that Control will be on Humble Choice March 2nd, along with Elex and Chimera Squad.

Death Stranding and the David Cage joints were all EGS one-year exclusives. Tetris Effect and Kingdom Hearts too, though those aren’t published by Sony. On the plus side, nothing has been a permanent EGS exclusive!

Yeah DS launched on Steam and EGS. And the Quantic Dream games on PC are self-published I think? Idk that Sony controls those.

I don't think Death Stranding was ever at one point considered a Sony exclusive, though.

I double checked and Death Stranding/Quantic Dreams stuff were originally published by Sony but then handed off to other publishers for the PC releases Horizon Zero Dawn is the odd one out as Sony managed publishing the PC version as well So going by precedent, if Sony manages the PC release of a game you'll probably get it on Steam straight away, otherwise YMMV

I don't know, I think even if Sony handed the publishing off to someone else, they probably wouldn't allow them the authority to negotiate exclusivity contracts on their own initiative. If one of Sony's games had a period of exclusivity, it's because they wanted it to have one.

It’d be kinda weird imo if Jim was like “Yeah our release for HZD, problematic as it was, ended up being really successful such that we’re going to bring even more games to PC, but not the store where people actually buy games.” I suppose if the check is big enough it doesn’t matter, I guess we’ll see. Also lol that’s going to be Control normal edition in the Humble monthly right?

Wasn't the Borderlands 3 launch the biggest in the franchise's history? As much as internet communities love to rage about EGS the truth is consumers at large just really don't give a poo poo if they have to install another app to buy a game.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:That would be a hilariously bad move, so you might be right. I think Days Gone could end up as a year EGS exclusive it seems kind of mediocre, don't think it has much of a PC audience waiting in the wings, and it's using Unreal. If the money is right I think Sony would take it. Hub Cat fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Feb 23, 2021 |

On the other hand, Borderlands 2 sold 11 of its 22 million copies sold just on Steam alone. Then again, it has been out for a lot longer.

I think big games can break through, yeah, so and obviously and Sony first party title will be big, so I don’t completely discount it. But Epic themselves put out numbers for 2020 that sure didn’t seem to indicate that people spent much money in their store.
