Porting games a few years after the fact isn't going to throw a wrench into their financial model. Anyone who cared enough purchased the console and the game a long time ago.

Anonymous Robot posted:Earlier on this page, someone posted the Sony 2020 shareholder report, where they suggested that they will continue to explore porting their titles to PC. Far from definite, but it’s something, and seems to be the sensible choice. M Ah yes I see it now. I’d agree with the poster who said it’d likely be the older games and not the next God of War. If anything does happen I’d love if it included PS3 (or older!) games but “continue to explore” has always been the vaguest or the vague when it comes to corporate reports.

exquisite tea posted:Are you kidding? With the power of the PC we might see Bloodborne finally reach the soaring heights of 24, even 25fps. with the resolution lowered and a number of hacks to change physics and such to work according to a variable time delta instead of a fixed timestep, the ps4 pro is already "capable" of running it at 60 - combined with the game's frame pacing issues I think it's fair to say bloodborne's performance is more a victim of optimization than ps4 hardware. it really looks extremely good at 60 so while we're dreaming, I'd also love a PC version just for possible hacks to let you get into any chalice root dungeon from the getgo without having to do static dungeons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hDIvDPRcPA&t=423s

Mierenneuker posted:Turn off Love it. Got the reference. Man I’m old. As for Sony PC ports, I’d imagine they’d do a minimum 1 year delay porting new games to PC, sort of like what Epic is doing with their exclusivity. But hopefully they start developing/ coding? games to make it easier to port to PC, otherwise we’ll probably have more HZD/DS1 messes, which will sour the PC crowd.

They've got like a decade of PS3 and PS4 exclusives that would still interest people, so they'll probably start with that and keep the PS5 games exclusive. MLB The Show 21 is not going to be exclusive, so that'll provide a test bed for them to see how much non-exclusivity eats into sales and how much it broadens the market.

Stux posted:prob going to be this esp w them popping off about having a big fast ssd to do stuff like r&c which wouldnt be portable to pc for a good while yet The SSD stuff on PS5 is completely overblown and would've been entirely portable to the PC years ago, let alone today. Plus you don't even need a fast SSD to do what Ratchet is doing, just program the game competently. Sony is just finding interesting looking stuff to slap their "only possible with the PS5 SSD" label on.

Speaking of, can anyone else confirm that loading times in P4 Golden for PC seem to be weirdly long? I've got the game installed on an SSD and have enough RAM to fit the entire installation folder in there, but for some reason it still takes up to ten seconds to transition from a battle back into the game ever since I hit the bath house. The zone transitions outside of the dungeons aren't really faster than they were back when I played it on the PS2, either.

Anonymous Robot posted:So now Microsoft and Sony are both putting their 1st party titles on PC. Feels like this is going to be the final console generation. Hopefully this doesn’t signal a move towards streaming-only but that sort of feels inevitable. I don't know how you get "more games on PC" > "only streaming." The big attempts at streaming services have all been failures. There's no reason to assume that the underlying logistical and technological for those failures won't continue to exist.

Streaming technology is going to be a niche as long as access to low-latency, high-bandwidth internet connections remain geographically limited. My internet isn't bad but I was fairly limited as to what I could play acceptably on PS Now streaming 720p PS3 games at 30fps.

Things that baffle me: the fact that Gyromancer exists. It's a high fantasy very serious plot about a man who is hunting down an assassin and he fights with pokemon via.... match-3 mechanics? God why does this thing exist.

It’s actually kind of fun, but Steam does not like to show it as closed out at all. For some reason it thinks I’ve played 300 hours of it, when I’m actually probably closer to 10. It’s not really like puzzle quest in that your/enemy powers automatically activate and then create a gem on the board you have to blow up to trigger it/prevent the enemy from attacking. There’s no mana, and your opponent never makes a move, their powers just start powering up on their own.

It came out two years after Puzzle Quest, so that's probably your answer  Your post yesterday reminded me to fire up Atlantis: Pearls of the Deep and League of Mermaids, and they're as delightful as End Me Scoob's original post suggested. The physics is relatively predictable for games of this type, and even the few annoying levels (pachinko  ) are quick to master with careful positioning (or pearl spam).Definitely worth checking out at $2.80 for the pair.

StrixNebulosa posted:Things that baffle me: the fact that Gyromancer exists. It's a high fantasy very serious plot about a man who is hunting down an assassin and he fights with pokemon via.... match-3 mechanics? God why does this thing exist. This game marked sort of the beginning (and quiet end) of the short period of many big AAA publishers trying to get into the casual PC games market, before they ditched it for mobile platforms. Square-Enix got PopCap, before they were bought by EA, to do a casual game with a "mature setting". From Wikipedia: quote:The game was directed by Murasawa and produced by Yoshinori Kamei. The story was written by Kyoko Kitahara, who had previously worked on Final Fantasy Tactics Advance with Murasawa, and the art direction was led by Yuki Matsuzawa. The soundtrack was created by Tsuyoshi Sekito. Matsuzawa was asked to make the art style that of a "dark fantasy" and to focus more on making the visuals realistic rather than fantasy-oriented, so that it would appeal more to players outside Japan. Very odd legacy on this one.

Thanks for the tip about the calibration in PGA2k21, I calibrated and also figured out what the swing timing is supposed to be with a bunch of driving range practice and I'm doing a shitload better. Maybe not a $60-50 game but it is definitely scratching an itch.

Made it infinitely more playable, though I had to tweak the way the timed gate hacking puzzles worked. The other major mod for that was making it so that once a gate was hacked it stayed hacked. I enjoyed a lot of that game but it had some design aspects that were just dumb. explosivo posted:Thanks for the tip about the calibration in PGA2k21, I calibrated and also figured out what the swing timing is supposed to be with a bunch of driving range practice and I'm doing a shitload better. Maybe not a $60-50 game but it is definitely scratching an itch. I feel like once more user generated content comes out it’ll feel a bit more fleshed out. It really has fun mechanics but I miss stuff like the old Tiger Woods games had like a target mode, RPG elements, and weird, out there fantasy type courses.

Red Alert 3 complete! Sadly the Japanese campaign felt really uneven with weirdly easy missions coupled with boring escort ones and it was just a mess? Ah well, the units were fun to use. Overall I'd rate the game a 9/10, it'd be 10/10 if not for that last campaign as the Soviet and Allies campaigns are basically perfect co-op adventures with a great mix of base-building/more puzzle gameplay and it was just FUN. Not to mention the plots and such - SPACE. Next up on co-op adventures: either I talk power crystals into State of Decay 2 or he teaches me to play Wargame Red Dragon for non-co-op but otherwise fun RTS stuff. And we continue with EDF and Dawn of War and such. God, it's fun finally playing co-op with someone I want to play it with, the games just open up and become more fun? Like I still love singleplayer stuff, but now I can appreciate a whole new way of playing cool things.
