        I feel like it’s pretty straightforward. Sony releases far more ports and remakes than newly developed original games.

          It would be nice if they could just release things on pc in the first place then we wouldn’t have to mess around with all these extra releases

            They delay the PC release in hopes that you’ll buy a PS5 to play the sequel. I doubt it’s a very effective strategy, though.

          I mean, I don’t think they’re any slower to release new games than anyone else. I also don’t think the next Spider-Man or whatever is going to come out any slower because of ports either, since I think a different studio handles most of the porting work, I don’t know about remasters, though. Like this year, they’re releasing 5 new games, and they usually release at least 3 a year. Could they release more? Maybe, but games take longer to make than ever before.

            Wasn’t really intended as a comparison with any other developer either. They’re just a relevant example pertaining to a larger industry issue.

      True, but I also think it’s (double-edged sword) kind of a good thing that they’re finally bringing their exclusive titles to PC. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to play Spider-Man or God of War.

      To be fair the Part 1 port is fairly good now but the release was quite janky… But I haven’t bought it until it went on sale anyways so…

      What was wrong with the 1st port? I ended up playing after finishing the TV series, and didn’t run into any bugs. I think I can recall having to restart maybe once cause a scene didn’t start. Beyond that, it was one of the first games I almost played twice just for NG+

        On release it was poorly optimized

        Even high end hardware had struggles, the worst part of 3d games is the cache though. That’s why some games put up a loading screen for it then load every asset behind that loading screen

        A godot dev even recorded (inputs) a full playthrough of his then played it behind a loading screen at 10x speed

    I bet it will come with a free copy of Denuvo. Will be an incredible deal: 2 softwares for the price of 1 software. Can’t beat that.
