[alt text: two frames from Spongebob, edited into a meme with extra images and text. The first frame shows Mr. Krabs, labeled "Sony", who is surrounded by different Playstation games, including The Last of Us, Spider-Man, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima. Mr. Krabs is saying, "All of you, off to PC!". In the second frame, all of the games have left, except for Bloodborne. Mr. Krabs/"Sony" is pointing at Bloodborne and saying, "Except you, stay."]

FTFY

Surprise, surprise. Gran Turismo is forgotten again

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago

As is Infamous. I’m pretty sure there are plenty more but people really just focus on the ones in the photo

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

I'd love that, but a part of me is worried about Second Son feeling clunky in sections from having to either translate the motion and touchpad controls to another controller or keyboard, or they'd have to cut the interactive bits into animations.

Fr. Sony/polyphony missing out on so many fans of GT that don't buy consoles anymore.

And no microsoft, forza is not the same...

[-] DdCno1@beehaw.org 3 points 4 days ago

It's far less important now than it was a in the past. Gran Turismo 7 "only" sold 5.5 million copies, which is barely more than GT5 Prologue, a glorified paid demo. Even the very first game in the series was almost twice as successful.

Compare this to other current Playstation IPs: God of War: Ragnarök shipped 15 million copies, The Last of Us 2 and Spider-Man 2 at least 10 million each and Ghost of Tsushima 13 million.

Few things I want more than PC bloodborne 😔. I'd settle for PS5 remake / remaster just to get 60fps

[-] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

shadPS4 emulator is coming to the rescue, don't worry. I feel like we'll see the whole game playable at 60fps in that emulator within a years' time, Sony be damned.

Best news Ive seen all week!

[-] t3rmit3@beehaw.org 5 points 4 days ago

I want to pay them for Bloodborne on PC, but Sony won't let me! Sounds like that's their choice/ problem.

[-] theangriestbird@beehaw.org 4 points 4 days ago

eeeexactly. Love when a corporation induces artificial scarcity and it comes back to bite them in the ass. Now granted...most people that want to play bloodborne on PC probably already paid for the PS4 version, so all Sony is really missing out on is EXTRA money. Or maybe they're just hoping Bloodborne Remake 2028 will be a PS6 system seller.

[-] overload@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago

It's the only explanation. Sony are sitting on the IP to sell as an exclusive later down the line. It would be financially stupid of them to release a 60fps patch, even paid, for the PS5 at this point.

[-] DdCno1@beehaw.org 3 points 4 days ago

Why settle for 60? Even a mid-range GPU should be able to render a PC port at 180 fps by now.

[-] chloyster@beehaw.org 3 points 4 days ago

Picked simply because no souls era from soft games go above 60. I would absolutely take higher but I don't expect it

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 3 points 4 days ago

I Hope for astrobot PC

[-] DdCno1@beehaw.org 7 points 4 days ago

Highly unlikely, given how much the game is built around Playstation as a brand, IPs that are on their console and the capabilities of the PS5 controller.

[-] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 1 points 3 days ago

never say never, i also assumed that sackboy would never be ported but they did it (2 years after the launch on ps5, of course)

astro bot on pc might increase sales of dualsense controller

[-] DdCno1@beehaw.org 1 points 3 days ago

Huh, I must have missed this release. Maybe you're right.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 4 days ago

Then again they said that Astrobot boosted the sales of their other games
