Support NeoGAF

[BennyBlanco]

Interesting. Wonder if HFW will as well or if it’s because it’s an online only game.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

Should be expected being that its an online-only game, Sony first party...etc.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

There's cross-play between PS5 and PC so it makes sense.

 

[Mr Moose]

That would put me off buying it on PC even though I think I might already have it linked. Found out today you need Xbox email account for Halo MCC Steam version, I just want to try the campaign

 

[FalsettoVibe]

nvm

 

[cormack12]

Does it need a sub as well? Or just an account.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Does it need a sub as well? Or just an account.

Just an account unless Jimbo has lost his mind

 

[Pop]

This is normal...

Its an online only Sony game

 

[Holammer]

It's stupid, but I prefer it over requiring an Epic account for online play. Like Sackboy does.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Kind of expected, no?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Well the game has cross play, and cross play invites need a shared account to do the communicating, so instead of having a second account for both platforms, might as well just integrate PSN into the steam version and problem solved.

 

[Mister Wolf]

They should have kept it isometric. Lost a lot of it's charm.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

PC players are hilarious.

"Bro, building your own PC isn't that hard. I can give you a 15 part shopping list and walk you through the build. Will only take a day or two."

"They want me to sign up for PSN?! Noooooo!!"

 

[TrebleShot]

online DRM but HOPEFULLY this means cross buy between PC and PS5

 

[Trogdor1123]

online DRM but HOPEFULLY this means cross buy between PC and PS5

Doubtful but would be incredible if it did

 

[MidGenRefresh]

What's Helldivers?

 

[TrebleShot]

Doubtful but would be incredible if it did

Would be quite the move from Sony not like it would cannibalise sales as it’s a day and date game , would be very smart. So very unlikely

 

[havoc00]

Is this gonna be any good? I want to like it but the vids havent looked that impressive imo

 

[M.W.]

Meh, looks mid anyway.

 

[BennyBlanco]

online DRM but HOPEFULLY this means cross buy between PC and PS5

What's Helldivers?

First one was very good IMO

 

[Godot25]

So next logical step for Sony is to have their own launcher...

 

[ManaByte]

There's cross-play between PS5 and PC so it makes sense.

Lots of PC games have cross-play with PS4/5. This is the first on PC to require a PSN account though.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Get used to it!

 

[bender]

Sony wants to pump those MAU numbers up.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Lots of PC games have cross-play with PS4/5. This is the first on PC to require a PSN account though.

Sony made?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Lots of PC games have cross-play with PS4/5. This is the first on PC to require a PSN account though.

Cool? That doesn't mean that the PSN requirement is not due to cross-play implementation and/or online.

Probably more 1st party games will follow suit, like Concord for example.

 

[R6Rider]

I swear. They better make cross-play off by default.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Get used to it!

No worries bud. Paid online will remain exclusive to your precious console.

 

[winjer]

I wonder if this is the sign that Sony is forcing it's own launcher on PC gamers.
Seriously, we don't need any more of these.

 

[Senua]

Probably inevitable, and it'll fail like all the rest

 

[squarealex]

Make sense if you want Cross-Play

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

No worries bud. Paid online will remain exclusive to your precious console.

As will no wall hacks,no actual aimbots and games that work 99% of the time at launch.

 

[DaciaJC]

PC players are hilarious.

"Bro, building your own PC isn't that hard. I can give you a 15 part shopping list and walk you through the build. Will only take a day or two."

"They want me to sign up for PSN?! Noooooo!!"

What's hilarious about not wanting to sign up for an account service that has historically been targeted by hacks and data breaches?

 

[Hudo]

There it is. That's the real endgame for Sony here.

They can get fucked. I have already too many accounts for a variety of bullshit as it is. And Sony is not the company with the clearest record when it comes to data security.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

What's hilarious about not wanting to sign up for an account service that has historically been targeted by hacks and data breaches?

Just use a pre paid debit card if you're worried about hacks and data breaches. Only takes a couple of minutes to set that up.

 

[Hibs]

As a PC player myself, oh no, anyway.

Can't wait to jump in and won't have to worry about population with Crossplay.

 

[Senua]

[MikeM]

So… trophies? Hehe

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I wonder if this is the sign that Sony is forcing it's own launcher on PC gamers.
Seriously, we don't need any more of these.

That would mean they will have to bring trophy support and more interesting features to make it worth it else who would use it on PC?

The screenshot just says about linking your Steam account with a 3rd party (PSN) which is standard practice for cross-play games. It was the same with another Sony published games (Sackboy) where you had to link your Steam account with a 3rd party service (Epic Games in this case) in order to play co-op online.

 

[Mr Moose]

White theme?

Wait, I thought you have a PS5? Might be confusing you with someone else.

 

[Alexios]

Game looks fun but cba to investigate it, is it like a roguelite or with a given campaign? Certainly not PVP, right? Anything like basically Sony Risk of Rain 2?

 

[Mowcno]

I swear. They better make cross-play off by default.

It's a co-op game.... Why would you care?

 

[Senua]

White theme?

 

[Sentenza]

So next logical step for Sony is to have their own launcher...

And this is where I draw the line.
"Your own launcher" means I'm keeping my own money.
I hope they aren't planning to try this crap, because it's not like people are exactly tripping themselves to rush buying their ports as it is.

 

[R6Rider]

It's a co-op game.... Why would you care?

That was the joke.

 

[Hudo]

White theme?

Wait, I thought you have a PS5? Might be confusing you with someone else.

I don't have one myself. I have a friend who has one, which I used to play Ragnarok (until I dropped it). The Demon's Souls Remake is good, tho.

I do have a PS2 and PS3, tho. Also had a PS1 but I sold it because I am a retard.

 

[Portugeezer]

Just an account unless Jimbo has lost his mind

Even MS knew not to try back in the 360 era it'll be free.

They won't all be ports, all their live service games will be on PC day one.

I know everyone likes steam, but why are we giving 30% of the funds to Steam and they dont make games and only give 70% to the devs that do.

Makes sense to have your own launcher tbh

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

MAU

 

[MrTired]

Even MS knew not to try back in the 360 era it'll be free.

What are you talking about Gaming for Window Live was a thing. Tried and failed at getting PC gamers to pay for online.
