Sony: We don't want players Migrating to PC

archive.is/AAWXG

It's interesting to note that Sony had no indie segment this year despite some major indie console exclusives like Pyre, Abzu and of course, No Man's Sky. Why would Sony make such a 180 after the start of the gen claiming they were going to support PC, PC Cross play and let indies release on any platform that they suddenly declare the PC a massive rival they are aiming to take down and that now they don't even want players to buy multiplat games on PC, they want them to buy them on PS4 and it's upgrades instead.

What do you think prompted this "Reinforcing the walled garden" turn in policy over how much freedom Sony was promising developers back when the generation started? Is PC becoming that much of a threat to them?

I migrated to ps4. Still have my pc but i play ps4 more

I do the opposite, most of the same games are on PC. So I play whatever exclusives are on PS4 and then stick with my PC.


They probably realized that cheaping out on the PS4 was a bad idea and started to make a PS4K because of it. Either way I'm sticking with both.

This just in: Consoles continue to rape gaming! No end in sight!

More at 6: "Sony, greedy?" Tune in and find out!

wat, you've never even posted here to begin with

Few games these days really take advantage of PC controls, so I could see that. I find myself playing PS4 a lot too.

Though there are games I wouldn't play on anything other than a PC, and console FPS games are still fucking disgusting.

Depends on the console FPS, I liked bulletstorm since it was a more arcadey style of FPS. but yeah PC's custom controls are one of the best parts of the platform. I know the cronusmax could probably be a substitute, but I'd prefer the PC simply because I like the openness of the platform

Bloodborne & Kill-zone are the only two PS4 exclusives I know. Are there any more?

Oh, if a game is on PC, it's NOT a ps4 exclusive.
*koff* Street Fighter V*

I just want all my games in one place and I do not want to keep buying a new console for one or two good games every five years and that's why I'm not really a fan of exclusivity. I just want all of my shit in one place and I don't entire hardware systems between me and a game I'd like to play. I get why exclusivity has to exist, but I just don't like it at all.

Ace Combat 7, Nier, Digimon, Yakuza, Ys, Ni-Oh, Persona 5, Final Fantasy VII remake, Odin Sphere, Guilty Gear Xrd, and Akiba's Beat

Gravity Rush 2 also looks pretty neat.

I know, I don't really recommend the PS4 100% yet, but there is some exclusive content to the system.

I'm hoping it comes out alright, Sony hasn't been doing a great job lately when it comes to first party games

I wouldn't really know since I don't have a PS4 yet

basically most of their first party games are cinematic experiences rather than actual games, then again this is probably their western studios. Their japanese branch probably makes decent games

The thing is that console plebs, as they grow up, can turn into PCMR but a lot of them stay braindead.

Even the new R&C? I did not like the PS3 ones and I hoped the reboot would have improved things.


Who really gives a damn about master race this or that? I'll never get platform elitism at all.

Are Sonyggers this much in denial?

Pretty good, steam and reddit appropriating and misusing the pc master race meme already did enough damage.

It's exactly like immigrants in europe except it's good goyim poisoning an once great platform with what they already did to their own. If you bring console plebs to PC all you get is the same braindead faggot except with a different and updated brainwash. It pretty much already killed games in general and PC gaming which was it's last bastion has nothing to actually look forward to. Social darwinism applies very well here

nah, the new R&C is decent. my apologies


PS3 games don't count, and VII is timed I guess

Platform elitism is for children

Of all of those only Odin Sphere and GG Xrd are out. Rest are just promises.

yeah, but games none the less. probably recommended not to buy a PS4 right now.

you really need to stop listening to women, they really did a number on you

How exactly has PC been poisoned outside communities?
Also you're missing a few games on PC. Bannerlord, Midair, Spire, things may get better, we just have to find them since they will not be AAA games


I just want to play video games

I could say the same to you

>>>/cuckchan/

Vanillaware said they were interested in taking Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown and Murimasa to Steam as well during E3. So that might change in the future.

But then it's interesting that titles that would have easily justifiable Steam versions like KOF XIV (For the China market), Nier Automata (Because of the Platinum name) and Persona 5 (Because duh, It's Persona) aren't coming to steam or PC while Sony is claiming they are going against PC support now. It makes you wonder if they are going to start trying to moneyhat more games just to keep them away from PC.

It will be a more expensive strategy since companies will demand more money to compensate for the loss of revenue stream and it might cause them to lose a lot of goodwill in the gaming community compared to what they built at the PS4 launch.

It's interesting how suddenly Sony want to "Be like Apple" (And House even said it during his interview with Time) including the PS4 neo roadmap leaking and saying that they will announce Neo at TGS then launch it a month later in October.

What do you think? They've realized they've been too lax on the competition this gen and have no fucking games because of it. The PS4 is currently the worst selling PlayStation by a long shot. They've sold half of what the second-worst selling PlayStation has sold.
All the multiplats they've let happen gives no incentive for anybody to buy a PS4, and they're starting to smell the ashes.

Nigger we have more games that use K+MB and are made for the platform now than we had during the console focused 2008-2012 period.
Ports are just the cherry on top and the niche players who buy them are just a plus.


No, theyll use timed exclusives
Sony has no need to pay third parties and third parties know that most exclusives sell like shit.
KoFXIV is coming, thats pretty much confirmed just for the Chinamen and BRs alone.
But you can check the general and theyll give you the source (which is in nip)
Sega has already said they are working on porting their games to PC and the western side has already restructered for the mobile and PC market.
Niche Jap games are selling like ass on the PS4 due to all of them either going to the Vita or the PS3.

Nier is probably the only one in that list I can see not making the jump and even then I dont think Squeenix is going to want to miss out on the shekels and Platinum is alright with porting.
Even Kojimbo is porting is game to the platform.

All I can see them doing is more timed exclusives, more first party and more misleading advertising.

Holy shit is that an Empire Total War but good?

Yes

how about they actually get more games for the console that benefit from the use of their controller, like during the PS2 era?


what exactly are you playing so much? theres just so few actual PS4 exclusives that are on disc and aren't remasters right now.

as far as i know, theres:

From what I've seen EDF 4.1 has one thing the other EDFs don't have and that's a somewhat bearable framerate at high enemy counts and that is probably why it's considered the best by many.

Odin sphere is on Vita.

I have a sneaking suspicion that at a certain point most Sony exclusives are actually shit.

The only good ones there are EDF 4.1 which is making the jump and Bloodborne.
What about the delays and the 3 year wait?
What about the false promises of exclusivity?
The only one to be released this year is going to be The Last Guardian and after he left Sony and Team Ico along with half the team I have no faith in it along with the fact that the trailer they showed looked like shit that it made Dad of War, Days Gone and Horizon Dawn look good by comparison.

Playstation is the dudebro console now and not only for FIFA.

My biggest problem with those sacks of shit is that they dont or cant squeeze out the potencial of the platform and would rather jack off to shitty multiplatform graphics with SweetFX than to play real games made for the platform.
Theres fags on Steam that only use a controller for fucks sake.

Well done Sony for completely misreading your userbase. Again.

Overwatch right now.

By he I meant HUeda

Least surprising thing I've ever heard a businessman say.

Well there goes any hope that this might get a PC release.

...

>>>/vcollins/

Kojima said it was gonna get one

He did. In a Q&A he later deleted.

Most of them have sold like shit. Even Uncharted 4 only hit the same numbers as Halo 5 and is tracking pretty badly versus other gen exclusives like Splatoon.

I can see why they suddenly want players to buy multiplats since they make money from licence fees. But the sudden turnaround from #4ThePlayers we're being great to gamers to "No more playing nice with PC #4OurCustomersOnly" is so odd. Especially since they should have learned from $599 Ridge Racer Giant Enemy Crab.

It's been so long since a Sony exec said an arrogant and fucking retarded anti-consumer statement no one knows how to react.

Sony copyrighted the IP. Very likely they offered 100% funding if he released only on PS4/Neo compared to his previous plan of using Sony to part fund the game and the rest from private investors.

Seems appropriate for your taste


No, its >>>/topv/ now

Yes, but it's still coming to PC.

archive.is/WWnao

oy vey

I don't understand that. Sony is only cucking themselves like MS has done with the Xbone, because then people have no reason to buy their platform. It's great that that more people will be able to experience the game, but if I was funding someone else's project, I would demand exclusivity, the same way Nintendo funded Bayo2 and that game wouldn't exist without them. I have no interest in buying WiiU, but I still understand why it's an exclusive, and I think the backlash against them was completely retarded.

I understand guilty pleasures but not flaunting them so hard and being such a corporate whore.

Its ok, at least there wont be any Neo exclusives so you dont feel left out aside from performance and graphic fidelity.


That cyclical is the most cancerous fucking thing and I was and am ok with Undertale threads.
Its like the worse of cuckchan and Reddit all congregated in the same place.

a reminder, sony are literal jews.

It's Sony's push to rebrand the gamer image.

It's a risk though. Bayo 2 did poorly (Worse than Sunset Overdrive if I remember) and while Bayo 2 was a great game and one of the best of 2014 (it was my GOTY that year) it still wasn't good for Platinum or Nintendo. The whole "Console+PC" idea was that if it flopped on console, PC would pick up the slack on long tail sales due to steam sales etc. Rise Of The Tomb raider worked for Square because it did over a million on xbone before the end of 2015 and then did huge on Steam as well before it even had a steam sale (Also they didn't spend a retarded amount on it's budget and had reasonable expectations).

At the same time, it can flop on two platforms with SF V's sales completely fucked that Capcom's only reporting "Sold tor retailer" numbers and less than 200K on Steam. If I were Sony, I'd be fucking pissed Capcom wasted that funding with the ridiculous mis-management that game had.

Exclusives are a huge business risk now instead of massive console sellers like they used to be. Dead Rising 4 is getting the same deal as ROTR except PC day 1 on Windows Store. Then Steam 90 days later. 1 year later on PS4. That's a great deal for Capcom and MS. But you can see why Sony would be annoyed about "Losing to PC" and why House is now taking the stance that "PC is the competition" and they want to stop people moving over to PC to go play those timed exclusives at better technical specs than the PS4/Neo experience

Why is that cyclical even still up? It's been what, a month now?

Because it contains the cancer of marketers/shills to one thread instead of multiple threads being made per day and shitting up the board like what happened with tumblrtale before it was banned

It's a fucking Kojimbo game. I don't think Sony needs to worry about a lack of sales

You mean that diary with different handwriting throughout was fake all along?
Golly, if that's a lie what else could be a lie?

Overwatch actually looks fun, but I don't know if it is. I might get the basic version if it gets under 15-20$, unless they start to go full jew. who am I kidding, they did go full jew already, besides trying to censor the porn, right?

They don't have those taco bells cups in my area other wise I'd get one.

Shills, 4cuck rejects, ASSFAGGOTS/TG2 players retards which the game panders to.

Its MOBA tier shit, youll have more fun playing Coop with any other game and youll feel like you wasted less of your life.
Dont touch it, its ass and Blizzard is already fucking it up.
Even the retards in the cyclical are saying its its only good witb friends and pubs are fucking retards.
The game has no depth whatsoever and bases itself on one input skills like ASSFAGGOTS that do all the work for you.

Youll have more fun playing SQUAD in its fucking Early access state for fucks sake.

Recurring PS+ revenues that are lost when consumers drift back to PC where multiplayer is free and piracy of single player games is trivial. Unlike licensing revenues from publishing games, PS+ fees are virtually pure profit. Losing that income makes it harder to fund other areas of the business.

its a multiplat thats on PC
if anything its the worst on PS4 since online play costs money there


i see, but that really leaves only two games i'd even want to play that are out
NieR Automata looks great but i'll just wait for the console/games to become bargain bin shit/ported to PC when the next generation of consoles hits.


ActiBlizzard has a huge marketing budget and is shilling this everywhere on the planet. wouldn't be surprised if they were all paid shills, it basically costs pennies to do shilling like this.

Considering the xbone and Wii U are their only competition and they've done nothing except not fuck up PR-wise, than yes.

Literally the only fucking reason I have a PS4 was so that I could play Bloodborne. I also played Dark Souls 3 on it but that wasn't really necessary and I haven't booted it in at least a month. They need to fix that before taking any steps against the PC market.

Nigger there is one guy that defending this game for hell and back.
Shitposting is easy, but this faggot has made it his fucking job to shill this ganme and more since the 23rd of May

Out of curiosity I decided to take a look in that thread the other day and it was exactly what I expected, shills shilling the game to other shills.
It was quite funny to watch, but also quite sad.
Easy paycheck for them though.

Sony feels like they have an opportunity to corner the market what with the xbone failing like it has, and with nintendo consoles shifting away from the "hardcore" gamers.

I doubt the core market demographic will buy their upgraded console, since anyone who was interested in getting a PS4 likely has one by now, and getting a second console with even fewer exclusives with no backwards compatibility makes no sense.

I don't want sonyfags migrating to PC either, it already is shit enough as it is.

Like it or not, proles bring the progress with them.

Proles don't drive innovation, but they pay for it.

Yes I am calling consolecuddlers the proles of gaming.

Nah, when "gaming" crashed PC was doing just fine and innovated a lot on its own.

too bad it doesn't include the OW keychain i just bought

You are cancer.

its because of piracy, thanks you faggots, now we dont get any ports, i hope you are happy.

I bet those images are fake, like someone took something off the internet and that's it

...

...

user. That is a scary screen cap of cancer. Thank god for that cyclical.

Cunts should have thought of that before deciding to charge for online.
They can still have a premium service where people get free indie shit and themes, but I got into online multiplayer thanks to the PS3.

Not to mention it still gives money to Sony- Ghostbusters SJW edition (as if Last of Us and nuUncharted wasn't a clue), pushing TPP, and the rest

So I'm going full PC Win 7 (maybe Linux)- maybe NX if it gets at least 5 decent titles.
Otherwise I'll wait for PC ports, play better, or play older. There was some good stuff on Vita, but it keeps getting ported to PC, or I'll get it second hand.

No Man's Sky is still a no-show, and I wonder if the Indies they banked on before didn't deliver.
I think while Sony is incredibly political- even they can't push shit when it doesn't make money (except for movie).

They do make hype though. Its fun while watching it- though afterwards you quickly realize it's razzle dazzle.

It was doomed to be popular and it was doomed to be cancer.
I checked 4cucks myself after a crossposting user mentioned it.
There were 62 threads about it, and that was using only the keyword "Overwatch".

Tell me this is from cuckchan,please tell me this is from cuckchan and not from here.Reassure me and hold my hand,we are not getting invaded again by a bunch of monstrous faggots who are at fault for ruining gaming for everyone.

As far as I know 4chan does not have ids, sorry user.

This is why ASSFAGGOTS and TF2 threads no longer exist user.
Its like Sonic and FNAF

They added them recently - at least I recall a screen of 4/pol that had IDs.

I don't give a shit about Overshill and use the cyclical for constant shitposting.
It's probably more fun than the game itself is.

Nigger, what the fuck? Indies never deliver. They're just SJW jew faggot shit scams.

They never deliver and their developers are total fucking cunts who drink too much of the marxist communist kool-aid.

Anyone could have seen it coming and it's not surprising at all. Especially since Sony got scammed in the past with Sony Pictures.

same.
Ps4 has the games I want to play and every multiplayer game is exponentially less enjoyable for me on PC. Ironically, I find more capable teammates and opponents on consoles. I could care less about the industry, frame rate, and graphics.

sage for console wars

This is just fucking sad then.
We have to step up our elitism and secret club mentality or we are going to get full on this people.

>>>/reddit/

We already are full of these people, its gotten better since E3 ended though.
The days leading up to it were a fucking nightmare.
Most of them are lurkers and irregulars.

I noted a big amount of fags all over here during the E3.I hope they decide to not stay.

Why are all sonyfags so dumb.

Considering that anything actually worth playing on a shitstation is also on PC, I say yeah. Fuck Sony.

Sage is to prevent bumping the thread, and is part of the practice of "self moderation"

You do realize that you have to BUY parts for a PC right and that the vast majority of multiplayer games require you to use something like Steam correct?

Don't bother it's the hip new maymay to type shit totally wrong on purpose, oh and also you need to forgo any sort of formatting because that's reddit now too apparently.

Sorry user,i don't know./a/ has a banner with the same thing/but not with DmC characters).


Die you fucking apathetic faggot.The rest you wrote is something out of mind,the fact you could even wrote something like this:


At this point you are not even here from halfchan,this is so fucking stupid it hurts.Facebook makes more money,should we transform it to Facebook? Or Tumblr?

I wouldn't count that as a plus.

Nigger, when has that ever worked?
Thats what the cunts in the Overmeme thread were doing in the first place

Apply yourself, most people I know who own a console barely give a shit about the mediumin the first place.

Yes, for off topic posts you nig nog

Thanks for the source fam


Aye, thanks anyway


This was leaked 2 weeks ago

I meant years

I just want midair to be playable so I can see if half of you anons actually want to play something good or whether or not most of you were just spouting Tribes memes without actually playing it or loving it like you claimed you do.

Fuckoff back to your containmment thread

I want to know if its better than Tribes 2

I doubt it, it looks to emulate T:A than T2

Oh boy

They learnt from microsoft fuck ups more than microsoft themselves, that's what happened, OP

I never said, ignore it. I basically said "Deal with it".
You're taking it to an extreme. If people from Reddit and 4chan start to take over, then you have to deal with it. Bitching to mark that he should change it is pointless because you would then be the less important party.


It's not to fix the problem. It's just a way to make your browsing experience more enjoyable. I already stated that you are powerless regarding the management of the site.

I never said PSN was okay. I was just pointing out the double standards of people using Steam.
>implying i didn't build a future proof machine for

Reception on the forums is pretty positive so there's that, but it might be shills and fanboys. I just want to get my hands on it first

I have a PS2 lying about but I just prefer PC games. I want more autismic games that I simply can't find on console. Everyone has their own thing really.

We need to keep a Holla Forums TF2 server general going.

You can't read and you have serious problem.


And i didn't nominate Mark one time you flamboyant homo.you said it first.But i see it's too late since we are already full of fags like you.

funny. i have a PS4 because of some friends and family i play with. some people i knew through psn switched to PC and said they were getting rid of ps4.
but its always the most casual of casual people that go to the PC side. some left for a better version of warframe. some left for a better version of overwatch, some left for nudoom, battlefield 4, or battlefield hardline.

none of them play the ps4 games that are actually worth playing.

I don't see anything suggesting they are reinforcing a walled garden or forcing anyone to do anything. They want to retain a certain segment of customers they feel they may have lost in the past, and are offering this product in an attempt to appeal to that segment.

Honestly I don't really understand what you meant by "You can't read". You could explain, but I know you're too lazy to.

You don't really have fags like me. Most people here are failed normalfags who try to cling to the chan culture as an identity. They're just as bad as the faggots on Reddit, just a different flavor.
I come here to argue. I have no interest in preserving video games. I don't post often and when I do it's almost always a prolonged attempt at trying to reason with you retards.
It's a pretty good exercise honestly. Frustrating at times but not so much to prevent me from continuing.

Kill yourself?

the good released exclusives are: Bloodborne, EDF 4.1, and DoA Xtreme 3.

Even if you are powerless it is your duty to fight for what is good and right. Only semites and niggers think otherwise.

theres also some JRPGs and weeb games.

atelier sophie, gravity rush, neptunia, senran kagura, odin sphere.

i never owned a PS3 and its still expensive where i live, a ps4 was only like $100 more at the time and is getting alot of remastered PS2 and PS3 games. as well as a bunch of couch coop games that are mostly indie trash. but even indie trash is kind of fun with local coop.

edf 4.1, though a remake is honestly the most fun ive had in a game in YEARS. it runs great, amazing online and weapon scaling with difficulty. and the add-on maps are actually fun, well thought out, and plentiful.

the game is a good balance between mindless shooter, free open gameplay, and old school strategy. learning through trial and error which enemies to attack first, and which order to attack in. and it changes as difficulties change… shit i want to play it now and work on my 100%

But why have they gone full-anti consumer themselves and decided to try lock out the PC gaming platform instead of embrace it. Shouldn't the industry be working towards a single platform with multiple eco-systems like PC or Phone?

I don't care if I'm a jew or shitskin. I'm not going to make fruitless efforts and lose because I'm too dense to consider reality. You shouldn't either. We aren't the kind of people that will be admired or respected anyway. Do what you must. Even if you're perfect, nobody will give a shit anyway. You're nothing but an angry kid to them.

Not all ARTS/ASSFAGGOTS players are retards that buy this garbage, user.

You can't read yourself,obviously.At this point,it was just a strawman.

That's because you are limp-wirsted faggot,that' why.You don't identify with anything because that's what they want,from the lowest shit as videogame,to your own people and nation.An apathetic piece of shit who doesn't really live,he just moves with the flow,the by-product of this society.A soulless cosmopolitan.You see your world and what you enjoy going down and your response is to ignore it.Which makes it stranger why the fuck you are here and not on halfchan,most of the users come here because we cared about GG and the cronyism of the journalists.And if you don't care,that's rule out first exodus.Which it means you came here from the second,so it's shitposting.

Argue what? You didn't bring anything on the table beside a strawman.You don't care about preserving videogames then why even come here? What are you going to talk about?And for what you wrote until now,if there is a retard between me and you,i will gladly give you the prize of the most retard faggot in this thread.


This reeks of euphoric.At this point i can assume you came from Reddit.

...

wait….
there are people who only buy consoles?

everyone owns a pc, but not everyone that plays games, plays them on a PC. dont underestimate how computer illiterate many people are.

I'm not apathetic. Just because I recognize that there are things outside of my control currently, does not mean that I have given up.

I did come here from the first exodus btw. I came here because I did not like 4chan. They don't try to discuss things. They just go
or
There is no value in their words. They're just rats making noise, like most of the people here are now.
Before 4chan I didn't browse anything except DeviantArt before it was overrun with degeneracy.
I don't really have a goal other than to just argue. I don't care about the topic. I just want to see people make retorts. Doesn't need to have meaning. I just need to bounce words off of you and see how you react. Honestly I'm not even thinking about this discussion either. I'm just typing and reading what you're saying.
If there was a purpose, I'd probably say it's just to collect data on the personalities I have to interact with.
It seems pointless, I know, but I'm serious when I say this as cringe worthy as it is. I get more stimulation from having pointless discussion on here than I do with people anywhere else, and that's just sad.
I'm not saying you guys are smart or anything, everyone else is just THAT stupid.
I'm afraid to even go to college because my graduated friends from High School are still fucking retarded. The only difference is they know some math functions now and have a degree.

Too bad it's shit so there's no reason to play it either way

You should try a little harder to conceal the "underage newfag" tone my fellow user

is this a new copypasta?

That 180

...

their competition was microsoft. sony attacked when they saw weakness. "no used games" "watch tv" "kinect only" "online only required" "yea we have a product for people with bad internet, its called xbox 360"

sony leeched on and sucked the life out of microsoft.
