Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 1 week agoThe effects of reduced or no further single player games from Sony on PC will be felt in future. Until now Sony was happily porting their games to PC, but after some reports it looks like that will change. So while the recent games are ported over, new games will probably not. So I am worried for the future, not for current available games.

Sony lost monopoly on Monster Hunter twice in the west now, as they have on top fighting games by Cap and Bamco.
Spidey series came to a happy end. Everyone is surely tired of Horizon by now. What exclusives does Sony even have nowadays with amazing replayability?
And for story heavy titles - youtube playthroughs exist as well as blogs and wikis.

As said, this is about future first party games. The new policy doesn’t have immadiate effect on current developed games. The signal I get is, if true, then new Sony first party games will be locked to their console without porting it to PC. Multiplayer games will be an exception to this apparently.
This is for me a non option, regardless of what game it is. I either play it or don’t. If the game is a movie rather than a videogame, then I am not interested into it anyway. Watching a playthrough or video on YouTube (or any other service) is absolutely something I would not do (and never done) for this kind of thing.

Well, Sony better rez Killzone as zoomer Halo or they’ll have fuckall like they have past 8 years for the most part.
I almost got a PS4 when MonHun World was announced, but then Capcom got with the times and said yes to PC - and that solidified my money spending on an upgrade vs new console.

That was PS4 back then. Now consoles are even more expensive. So for many its not even an option to buy a new console, even if it has exclusives locked to it.
