@Yoshi2 I've come to accept that I want to play most games on the Switch, even when it's not the 'ideal' platform for a game. The only major exception is first-person shooters, because mouse and keyboard is so vastly superior on that front as a control scheme.
Anyway, Sony seems to be porting their games to PC as fast as possible, so I'm not sure how much they care about exclusivity any more. It's not like PS5 has access to Microsoft's console exclusives, either.
Um, not really, @Ralizah .... I'm obviously glad they're bringing whichever ones but that's still awhile after they launched on PS Are they talking about bringing The Last of Us to Steam, for instance?
@BruceCM Of course it's a while after most of them launched. The PC porting initiative is an extremely recent move on their part.
It's almost inevitable that they'll port TLOU. Although probably the remake, if I had to guess.
At first it was: "Oh, they're just porting a few of their old PS4 era games to PC." Then it was: "OK, they're porting quite a few of their PS4 era games, but not PS5 games." Now leaks seem to suggest games like Sackboy and Returnal hitting PC. All this over the course of a... year or so. The speed at which they're embracing this is really quite remarkable.
They acquired a whole studio just to help speed up the PC port process. Going forward, PS5 will likely enjoy timed exclusivity of first-party games before they release on PC (although I could see their live service releases going to PC day and date).
They’ve amassed a sizable list of Steam releases and announcements in a very short period of time.
Horizon Zero Dawn
God of War
Days Gone
Spiderman Remastered
Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection
Naturally, The Last of Us will see an announcement soon enough, and they already accidentally leaked Demons Souls is coming to PC in the initial reveal before removing it. It makes sense they’re knocking out all their PS4 releases before moving onto PS5, besides which, there just isn’t enough PS5 releases yet to make that a focus yet.
In a couple years we’re gonna be eating so good. Around 2024 not only will we get Switch 2, which itself will take this golden era of hybrid gaming and dial it up to 11, but we’ll also likely get a Steam Deck 2 around then as well- hopefully a bit smaller, more efficient with longer battery life. And by then all PS4 exclusives will be on Steam, all Xbox exclusives will be on Steam, and even some PS5 exclusives should start dropping on Steam.

As I don't have any PS system, I certainly want them to bring all the games to Steam ASAP, @Ralizah .... Yep & I am delighted with the progress, @JaxonH Just saying it's nowhere near all the exclusives yet & presumably the games will always be on their systems for awhile before coming
They've thought it worth paying SE for timed exclusive deals on FF games for quite awhile, for example (it actually makes me less likely to buy their systems)
@BruceCM
I have a lot of PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 & PSP games. 😛
Currently I have the most PlayStation games collection from PS3.
But my PS4 games collection are the strongest currently than my PS2 games collection.
That's a gigantic proportion of the PS4/PS5 1st party lineup from the past 4 years, the Spider-Man games were notably absent but those were confirmed for PC on Thursday and TLoU 2 is notably absent (perhaps something happens regarding the rumoured remake of the first game).
The big question will be about whether they go for early PS4 era stuff like Bloodborne.
@Grumblevolcano Bloodborne hasn't even received a PS5 patch. Given it was a collaboration between FS and Japan Studio, it might be a long time before we see a proper update to it.
I think the best bet at this point is Sony taking advantage of the buzz post-ER by having Bluepoint remake it.
Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)
Sure, @Grumblevolcano .... Doesn't give any schedule, even if all of those do eventually come I imagine they'd want to bring The Last of Us part 1 over before part 2, though
@Ralizah For awhile I thought they may bring over Nathan Drake Collection first with the announcement not in the showcase being because Sony felt that PC only announcements didn't belong in PS events though the Spider-Man reveal on Thursday disproved that theory.
@BruceCM
Tbh Uncharted is.... it depends what you're looking for in a game. If you want Hollywood cinematics and realism, like you're watching a movie you can interact with, you'll probably love it. Personally, I found Uncharted 4 pretty boring after a couple hrs. The story and presentation was enough to grip me initially, but after that wow factor wore off, there wasn't enough fun in the gameplay to keep me hooked. It felt as generic as they come. Aiming was rigid, climbing was rigid. It was a less fun Tomb Raider in pretty much every way.
One would think I wouldn't like The Last of Us, then, but the opposite is true. I loved TLOU- the gameplay was actually fun, and the story more interesting, characters more relatable... it just worked. Unfortunately the sequel did not.

Did anyone try the online test for Mario Strikers this past weekend? How was it?

Well, I've never played any Uncharted before, so I want to give it a go, @JaxonH .... Probably on sale, as usual, anyway I definitely want to play The Last of Us 1 & probably 2, although I've heard about people's issues with that
Knowing about those going in should help somewhat but I'll have to play part 1 & see how I feel then
People keep speculating about a June Direct, but, for maybe the first time, I don't know if I actually want another one this soon. So much stuff is coming out in the next few months as is.
Unless something major is releasing between now and Splatoon 3 that we're unaware of, I'd prefer they just stock up for an epic September Direct.
@Ryu_Niiyama The tutorials were a bit frustrating for me, but things got a lot better when I played the actual game. I wasn't the best at it, but I had a blast playing it! Loved the presentation and art style, as well. However, I wish there were more characters (poor Daisy got left out...) and the stadiums seem to only be aesthetically different. Didn't they say that there's gonna be post-game content? I can see myself getting the full game later on once they add more enticing stuff to it.
