Sorry to break it to you, but they are very clearly making their in-house engine that HZD/DS runs on PC ready, I would assume exactly so they CAN have an engine level solution for in house ports. Why would they limit their own audience really?

This is great, now I get to actually play it. I first tried it in my friend’s PS4 and was not that impressed, but seeing how the game was being praised so hard (together with The Last of Us, which I agree is a masterpiece), I’d rather give it another shot. Even better if I can do it on my PC instead.

Eh, are we pretending that’s a bad thing?

No one is buying a PS4 for HZD three years after it’s release.  That ship has sailed. 

lol, good fucking riddance.  

RIP exclusives

(Just edit to clarify up top, I worry the tone below might seem aggressive. Just going through some thoughts, no bad vibes directed at Mike or Playstation personally. Thankful for the games I have enjoyed the last year, just think they’re making silly moves with PS Now that don’t make any sense.)

“I am outraged that this store recommendation engine is preferring games people can buy today over games that people can’t buy yet!” is exactly the sort of hatchet piece I’d expect from you, Nathan. Good job, good effort.

I’m in the same boat (33 years old here). I would love to buy more games, but need to be responsible with my money. I would love to clear up my backlog (630+ games), but need more time (which I cannot get).

It doesnt help that the discount on games were just not that great this year compared to previous years and especially to a few years ago. There was a reason the meme of Gabe taking your wallet during the summer sale became a thing. This year most of the discounts were like 10 or 25% or maybe 50% if you were lucky…

I dont get how devs thought it was a mess. I go to my wishlist, i check what’s on sale, I add what I want in that moment to a text file. Over the course of the week, i delete or add to it. When I’m ready, I pay for what’s in there. The meta game had nothing to do with my purchases.

I have lots of items on my wishlist (several hundred actually) and so yes, you’re right, being on a wishlist does not automatically mean a person is intending to buy it or intending to buy it soon.

Yeah, I really don’t want to tell people not to develop games if that’s what they want to do, but it really feels like there are so many samey-looking indie games these days that it’s hard to find anything worthwhile and I’m sure some great developers are getting lost in all the crap that’s out there. I don’t know…

“We’re down 4,000 wishlists on 2,000 sales, so about 2,000 more we should be,” Sir, You Are Being Hunted, The Signal From Tolva, and The Light Keeps Us Safe developer Jim Rossignol (who, full disclosure, I used to work with at Rock Paper Shotgun) told Kotaku in an email. “Sales were also lower than we’d expect, so I…

I honestly don’t know what indie devs can do these days. There are just too many games. I own thousands and thousands of games both physical and digital, and honestly I don’t even look for new games all that often, I’m never at a shortage of something to play. I check my Humblebundle monthly and have my eye on certain…

I feel like comparisons like this are highly mis-leading. The problem here is that no developer is going to look at all of that extra horsepower and decide to put it all towards faster loading times. They’ll want better textures, models, effects, AI and more instead, and thus the load times will remain roughly the…

It’s called Titanfall 2

I’m all for marketplace competition, but third-party exclusives are lame, and anti-consumer. 

I guess I’ll play this in 2020 when it hits gog.

Why?  The Epic Store is a fraction of what Steam offers.  Everything about the Epic Store is anti-consumer, it won’t be a threat to Steam.
