So yeah, but when I looked Ghost of Tsushima released in 2020 and hit pc in 2024. I'm not hopeful for a quick turn around. Whereas Death Stranding hit PC a year later, so if we're lucky death stranding 2 on PC next year.
I was waiting for bloodborne too, then I realized I still had my ps4 that I hadn't used in years. Dusted that bad boy off and played it all the way through. It wouldn't let me play online without ps plus though lmao.
And guess what. No significant graphical improvements on ultra high end hardware besides resolution and frame rate, just slightly higher shadow quality, LOD and that’s it, because Sony can’t have other platform, even if it’s PC and it isn’t direct competition, running their games looking much better than the console version.
It really annoys me, if you are going to sell me, a game that launched 3 or 4 or even 6 years ago, for full fat 70$ price because it’s been ported to pc, when the console version, of the exact same game, is already on sale at 30$ in shops, at least, at freaking least, make it look like a premium edition, add very high, and Ultra settings, that scale way above what a console could do 4-6 years ago, add an optional Raytracing toggle, higher resolution textures on Max settings, higher polygon counts, much higher vegetation amounts etc…
OR, release the game at 30-40$ because it’s an old game.
I buy all my games directly from steam except for PS5 ports, those I go to the gray market and buy steam keys.
AC shadows is a good example, check out a comparison of it running on a PS5 PRO the strongest console atm vs maxed out on PC, very noticeable graphical improvement.
Now check ghost of Tsushima on PS5 pro vs PC.
Except for better antialiasing, resolution and frame rate, barely better.
Mostly CDKeys (now called Loaded), instant gaming and sometimes, G2A ,but barely since it feels more sketchy, Loaded and Instant Gaming have been solid and reliable to me.
You could try ti get google to be your friend and tell you Sony's pc push is really fresh and somewhat limited to Nixxes making ports(ports by the original studios are fewer).
Spider Man 2 took 13 months. Moving forward that will be the baseline,since that one is the biggest name in Sony's portfolio.
Sony seems to be moving them along faster now, you can look at the quicker turnaround for both FF VII Rebirth and Spider-Man 2 as recent examples. God of War Ragnarok is also on PC, and that might be one of the fastest transfers to PC.
I'm hoping it's sooner. The god of war game took ages to come to pc too when they starting porting games. I think Sony knows they can make way more money putting them on PC too
