doesn't actually look too much better than the ps5 version, so the main upgrades should be running native res instead of upscaled (or via DLSS which should look a little better than the algorithm used on ps5) and higher framerates

3/5/24 PC Specs

To ensure the game runs on a wide variety of PC hardware, including portable gaming devices, we’ve included graphics presets ranging from very low to very high.

It was already officially announced a while ago, but I hope the new Sony CEO is taking notes. Sony's own games are always used as marketing for Nvidia to sell their own hardware, Nvidia sees more value in PS 1st party than Sony does. They never mention or market this game anymore when it's one of the most beautiful games ever made. This game should be a constant staple in PS5 marketing but we never hear a peep about it 🤷‍♂️ instead they give it away to a competing platform where it'll flop.

Looks great. 2 years late is too long to double dip at $70. I'm still in the first act on PS5.

Will this one break a million?
Yes, the PC port of the first one sold 3.3M until February.

The HZD PC port generated enough money to pay the HZD original game budget, the HZD PC port, the HFW PC port and provide a few dozens of millions in profit on top of that. And will continue selling, it didn't stop in February.

That was the honeymoon phase because it was the first game, it's over now. Each port sells less and less and less and the portbegging in the reviews also seems to go down.

When Sony games first started being ported to PC, literally every single review was "SONY BRING MORE PLEASE!!", and now you see a lot less of that. Which coincides with the decline of game sales. This port is a guaranteed flop and will be lucky to break 1m sales in 2 years, and only with steep discounts.
