Let's see how bad they fuck up the port this time. Not holding my breath.

[-] WereCat@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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...

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 2 points 5 months ago

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

Really hope they learned from the Part 1 disaster.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

wait a year before playing it and it will probably be good

[-] asymmetric@lemmy.ca 18 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 5 points 5 months ago

I don't think Sony released a single PC port with Denuvo yet, so why do you think that's likely to happen in this case?

[-] asymmetric@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Because it was a joke, Mr Pedantic Person.

Won't buy it if it requires PSN account

[-] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

Holy shit Sony, just make a new game for once.

[-] Shadowedcross@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Not sure how that relates to games being ported to PC.

[-] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago

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

[-] snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Shadowedcross@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

NGL they almost had me with Spider-Man 2.

But I watched a playthrough on YouTube cause I couldn't wait. Still gonna (maybe, with all this PSN bullshit) play through it when it comes out on PC though.

[-] Shadowedcross@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

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.
