The Last of Us Remake is Coming to the PC

Exclusives used to be the kind of thing that you advocate for a console (that and ease of use)

The differences between a PC and a console game are much closer now so the experience will be on the same level. The PC obviously still has alot more headroom but the game itself isnt going to benefit hugely from that additonal capability.

Since Xbox has been a PC and console advocator (since they play in both spaces) and with them snatching up established IP and gaming companies they've opened the door for more cross platform availability of their titles due to them utilizing the xbox gamepass setup. MS doesnt really have any exclusives so they bring the games to everything, and gamepass helps streamline that.

Nintendo is the only other company with real exclusives and they really dont play in the same space as the other guys, they found a niche and is pretty much the only game in town that fills that niche. No one is really clamoring for a PC port of say the mario titles. higher HD versions of them are always welcomed but the game experiences dont really improve a whole lot with more power. They get a pass because they always strive to be a bit different and they always end up being the ideal second console to have next to a PS/Xbox/PC, and usually never replacing those as a primary. The 3rd parties get that choice to bring a PC port if they want to.

That leaves Sony in a precarious position. They have exclusives like Nintendo, but unlike Nintendo they dont fill a niche, they are a primary player against the MS juggernaut which has the whole cross platform thing going on with PC/Xbox releases on gamepass. Nintendo is already so far entrenched into their niche that it'll be hard to even take them on. So they have to adapt or die against xbox. I think this is kind of the only way they could continue succeeding.
 
I'd say that extra power would vastly improve the experience in titles like xenoblade, that is, unless you actually like playing games at 320x240 at < 30 FPS.


The switch pro needed to be a thing a year ago.

Am I reading this right? Upset that because it's getting released on PC at a later date, it makes the PS5 less valuable? Is it a common reason to buy the PS5 to get access to arbitrary exclusives?

I pegged this before. Sony realized they could capitalize on their console with exclusives, and then again on PC, as many people who already own and completed the game on the console buy it again on PC because they want to play it again, but better. It seems they might be f**king up here - they need to wait two years or so before releasing it on PC. Technically, "a later date" still qualifies for this. But that sentence shouldn't even be a thing.

The console vs PC argument is dumb. The truth is choice is good. Video Card prices drove me away from PC gaming. Now I can play games on the much more reasonable priced PS5 and it’s great. But that’s just me. There are a ton of reasons people prefer Xbox or PS5 or PC. Choice is good! The options have never been better for gamers in general. So, news like this is great… :up:
 
Sony experimenting with zero advertising/hype for Uncharted. Or maybe they're trying to minimize how many consoles are destroyed on social media.
 
The Uncharted 4 collection is weird, feels like first going for the uncharted 1-3 collection first would have been better for pc only peeps.

I mean, now people's first experience with uncharted will be the end of the nathan drake saga, at least MS ported the Master Chef collection before they started releasing new Halo titles on pc.
