billbil_kun: Horizon Forbidden West will soon be available on PC
- Thread starter Puff
- Start date
I don't ask them for ICO 3 or more Gravity Rush.
I actually dislike the sequelitis in modern media and would always take new IPs.
With that said, I think a lot of people here don't really give enough credit to the Sony PC strategy, it's going to show its fruits in due time.
PC is a huge audience that does not really buy Playstation games, but seems to love to pirate them. GoW was downloaded over 3M times following its release on PC.
They need to do day and date releases. Sales would be much stronger. A 2 two year delay is bad
Visiting the continuous resentment at Sony doing what they promised they would do. Why can't we just get over it? These games coming to PC aren't going to change anytime soon, so why complain about it everytime we hear the next announcement? It is what it is.
I'm not double dipping on this. HFW is extremely boring to me right now. I liked the first one's story much better.

Agree with the story part. I liked HFW story but not as much as HZD.
Yeah, and we all know games like it and Days Gone sold so well on PC at the time. Forbidden West will flop on PC like everything else they've released. A Playstation game coming to PC is no longer an event. Sony dropped the ball in making PC players feel like they should be happy to be getting these games.
They need to do the same thing that killed Xbox. Got it.
Maybe they should do day and date on Nintendo and Xbox as well, just fully embrace the market.
Bullshit. Horizon 1, Days Gone, God of War, TLOU or Spider-Man are a big success on PC. So as all the other Sony big sellers (with Uncharted as the exception, maybe because it was too old or because they started porting with the 4th instead of the 1st) Forbidden West would be a success in PC too as it is a success on PS.
As an example TLOU and Spider-Man already sold almost the same than Days Gone on PC even if their PC port is way more recent.

No that didn't kill Xbox. If Sony wants to make bank off of PC. That's the way to do it
Spiderman made 52 million dollars and TLOU made 16 million dollars. How can you call that a success? On PS Spiderman sold 3.3 million in three days.

I agree 100%. The first games until God Of War was like a novelty. OMG I'm playing GOW on Steam Deck!!!
But now no one cares about their trash ports. TLOU underperformed and was a laughingstock for a week. Spider-man sold a little better but nothing crazy, they sell the same amount on PS in a few days.
The rest lol better not talk about it. Shameful sales.
The PC ports only require a handful guys working during a few months, which is very cheap compared what it did cost to make the original PS versions.
That means each port will provide dozens of millions in profit, which is a big success. As of now the Spider-Man port sold around 1.9M copies wih only a few times being discounted a 25% or 33%. Ignoring discounts and removing the 30% cut, that would be $79M. And they won't remove the game today, it will continue selling.
TLOU sold on PC around 1M and only had a single discounts a few days of 20%. Ignoring that discount and removing Valve's 30% that's $41M.
So until now Sony made around $100M+ in profits (the cost of the port must have been very low) only with Spider-Man and TLOU PC ports. That's a big success. And they will keep selling specially once they get big discounts, since TLOU was released this March and Spider-Man barely a year ago. Plus they also have several ports more selling copies.
