Wukong came out over a month ago and Warhammer 3 weeks ago. It's never going to happen that nothing comes out for a whole month prior and after. When did you ever see that? In the 80s? GOW is a bigger gaming IP than both anyway. Bigger than indie Frostpunk too.

The release date between Palword and Helldivers was shorter and they both broke records.

I've read so many excuses the last few days, it's getting more ridiculous each time.

It flopped. Accept it.

Out of the top 50 by next week.
I think if the GoW franchise was on pc since the first game, it would have had a MUCH bigger fanbase on PC.

I LOVE GoW but wont be buying it on pc. Why? It just doesnt feel right for me playing it on a platform other than PS. Sounds stupid I know, but that's the reason for me. Its still on my list, along with Astrobot and Stellar Blade.

Im saving up for a ps5 to play these games on. Playing these anywhere else feels wrong. (and its impossible for SB and AB of course)

Looking at trends:

Until Dawn - Day one
Lego Horizon - Day one
Horizon remaster - Day one (when a similar remaster like last of us part 1 took months to release)

After fairgame$ bombs Sony will have to somehow make all that cash back... just sayin.

Stellar Blade, complete with all DLC is on PC 6 months from now tops. Same as rise of the ronin. Those are timed third parties.

Wtf are you talking about? This Horizon remaster isn't any different than the GoT and Death Stranding DC or the Legacy of Thieves Collection eleases. The only difference being that there already exists a PC port of Horizon, therefore the 10 bucks upgrade path also on PC.

TLOU P1 was a REMAKE, not a remaster, that's why there wasn't any upgrade path on PS5.

No, they are full console exclusive first party games because Sony published them.

Even if Sony may have (or would end) given them the IP and allow them to release it in PC pretty likely around 2+ years later.

On the troll ignore list you go! Talk about being oblivious..... Holy shit. This is next level.

I can destroy your arguments with the snap of a finger but seeing your post history, I know you have a hate towards PC and a truckload of self created confirmation bias. So im not even gonna bother.

TL;DR.......... YOU'RE WRONG!

*Soaks in PCMR bathwater actually enjoying the extensive games catalogue with 30+ years of backwards compatability, 60FPs, 4K non sub HD visuals*
As if it would bother me being on your shabby list. 🤣

Show me that I am wrong. I will wait. None of my claims are made. PCMR never buy any if those mentioned franchises or genre. Everything besides the usual stuff on PC doesn't work out. FF7R sold less than 150k on Steam and Epic you clown.

SB is coming to PC, ShiftUp told their investors already.

Some lawyer from Sony or Valve may have taken down, like patches to pirate games.

I just want that Automata DLC. But I also want Platinum Games to fix Automata on either PC or Playstation. I own PS4 copy, and have it on steam. It runs more consistent on PC with some teaks which are annoying. Id rather play it on my PS5 with 60fps using dual sense.

With the resurgence of these horny character action games one can hope platinum stops locking future Bayonetta games to Nintendo hardware...

Not that they wereassive sellers there.

Apologies, long post ahead, I decided to summarize the video.

"This game, unlike the last game does not meaningfully visually upgrade the game on PC over the PS5 version, the biggest upgrade is Image Quality"
DLAA helps clean up the detail in a character's hair and it overall looks better on PC compared to PS5 for example.

The "ultra" setting will match the PS5's quality mode, like shadows, quality mode is an obvious match for PC's "ultra" (PS5 quality) but the performance mode on PS5's shadows are between low and medium.

"That's disappointing because the last game DID allow for graphical upgrades on PC not found on PS5" "I also found it disappointing that PC's version has worse visual quality in a number of areas compared to the PS5 version, for one, it's missing the cubemap tracing system found on PS5's quality mode" (goes on to explain reflections are more accurate on PS5 because of it while PC has minor inaccuracies)

PC's port is missing whole visual effects found in PS5, like a moving mist in the dream sequence, it is completely gone on PC (not a hardware problem) PC is also missing more effects in the Realm between Realms area.

The portals aren't smooth and LOD changes harshly the moment you exit the portal, compared to PS5 where there is no change visible, and some may call it the SSD's magic, but he tested it on the PS4 version and it still did not have changing LOD, which means the port wasn't paying attention to that part.

Audio is randomly muffled on the port

Zen 2 CPUs struggle to get 60 stable which is completely odd because PS5's cpu is Zen 2 and stripped back a lot so if this wasn't a bug, the PS5 would have a hard time running it smooth, which means this fps drop is a bug. Normally in other games, even Space Marine 2 for example, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D performs 2x better fps-wise compared to the Zen 2 CPUs (Ryzen 5 3600) but in GoW:R it is 247% faster than the 3600, which means there is something drastically wrong, the Ryzen 5 5600x is nearly the same as the 3600 but Zen 3, and the game runs 2x better than it does on Zen 2. The game is failing to use Zen 2's threads efficiently while it works flawlessly on Zen 3.

Tessellation in the realm between realms is bugged badly, it cuts your framerate in half pretty much and the ground deforms rather close to the camera in a jarring way. But in the other areas, it's completely fine.

The frame time jumps haphazardly while in ultrawide mode, proven by unlocking the framerate and using VRR.

TLDR: The game's visuals did not receive any form of an upgrade, the game is actively missing effects from the console version of the game, the game is missing the cubemap tracing system used to give 100% accurate reflections, LOD changing harshly when leaving portals (not a hardware problem), certain audio is muffled, Zen 2 CPUs are not being used properly, tessellation problems in one area of the game, ultrawide drops stable v-sync due to jagged frame times.

Overall, it has absolutely nothing to do with the hardware, and has everything to do with the port, as usual.
and JayDub is grifting, as usual.
