Sony GAF on suicide watch

[Agent_4Seven]

They released Sony PC ports before and that's enough to mention it and update their page. This means nothing for their future as PC porting studio anymore and Sony made that clear by canceling at least 2 PC ports already.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I mean…that's what they have been doing lmao

No official response from SONY= speculation

 

[yogaflame]

Nixxes is an annoyance to Sony. I hope its abolish or restructured. Thats why Nintendo is the goat. They dont have unnecessary type of team and department to port exclusives to pc.

Somy never made a statement saying all their games would be released on PC. What makes you think they will say anything about this? Lol

 

[Fabieter]

They could help with day one porting to all those gaas games .

 

[Bojji]

Gaas games are multiplatform from ground up. They don't need porting.

What is this? You want another studio to by closed because their hurt your feelings?

when jim ryan was incharge he basically said in a interview full slate was comiing . what are you talking about?

 

[Simms]

Yessssss, Do we know what date this was changed specifically? Not that it matters as it seems very recently. So much for the Bloomberg rumour.

 

[Fabieter]

They could still handle the pc ports like nixxes did before sony bought them.

This doesn't negate the other news/rumors about PlayStation pulling back on PC ports. Seems pretty obvious that is happening, but this would seem to indicate it isn't 100% across the board.

Agreed as pulling back doesn't necessarily mean full stop because who knows how high up the food chain Jason got his info

If we never get a Ghost of Yotei PC port I will be shocked

 

[jm89]

Sacrifice nixxes to bring back bluepoint

Also someone's gotta do those live service ports.

 

[Physiognomonics]

I am expecting Venom to be ported to PC by them. Sony have announced nothing yet

Wishing the loss of jobs because of « exclusivity » paranoia for a plastic box is a new level of low

I think its possible they offer nixxes to partners like ark system works to do the pc porting so they could focus on the console version.

Some of the TR games were handheld like that Crystal dynamics doing the console version and nixxes doing the pc part.

This is a rare and impressive kind of pathetic.

Wait, I figured Venom was cancelled by now, is it still coming?

This pulling back stuff is still rumour. Nixxes have only ported single player first party games and only provided tech support for GAAS games, there nothing besides rumour at this point as we've not had official confirmation either way. If a Yotei Pc port doesn't get mentioned in the next 12 months that's when I'll probably concede or if we get confirmation from Sony themselves it's not coming (which is unlikely)

 

[adamsapple]

Damn.

Looks like Sony is all in for PC Ports.

Watching the console warriors of Gaf go on this emotional roller coaster has been pretty fun, not gonna lie. A bunch of grown men freaking about who will be able to continue playing with their toys.

There, I hope that explains how it's supposed to work. For any further explanations, I'm always available my dear friends.

 

[roosnam1980]

nixxes did the PC port of death stranding 2 recently and imo will port saros to PC

Coming from Jason Schrierer, it is more than just a rumor. But yes, we have to wait and see what this all this really means for PS games. I imagine there will be questions at the next stock holder meeting if this isn't addressed directly.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Saros is not going to pc though

 

[Mr Moose]

Why does it say specialized instead of specializing?

 

[DerivedDataCache]

Did they update on April 1?

 

[roosnam1980]

Saros is not going to pc though

i think it will be ported , just my guess

 

[Fabieter]

Good catch tbh.

 

[adamsapple]

[J Required]

Sony still plan to release GAAS games day and date. Its just SP games that are being kept exclusives.

Schrierer said this Sony was backing away from PC ports of single player, but not live service. Obviously there has been some realignment internally at PS studios. My guess is whatever ports do happen, Nixxes will be the one handling them so other studios can focus on PS consoles.

"Jason: I mean, I think for them, their strategy is like, live service games are coming to PC. But I think the sense I'm getting is that they're backing away from putting their exclusive console stuff like traditional single-player stuff on PC."

This was mentioned in the other thread already 3-4 days ago:

Isn't anyone mentioning that Nixxes has changed from:

"The industry-leading Dutch studio with more than 20 years of experience in game development and optimisation."

To..

"Netherlands-based studio with engineering teams specialized in high-quality PC ports, and art and design teams co-developing games with PlayStation Studios worldwide."

So they've gone from not mentioning PC at all, to making a point of it.

Also Bluepoint's has been updated from:

"Austin-based studio behind critically-acclaimed remasters and remakes, including The Nathan Drake Collection and Demon's Souls."

To:

Not according to Jason.

Not the before and after and that is was changed last month though.

edit: my bad. I didn't see the other post by jet set.

It's more pathetic than that, they were always able to play with their toys, it's just they don't want the other kid to have to same toys

Its purely for ePeen

Fanboys extreme! You would suck Sony if you could would you?

I kind of want sony to come out and announce a Ghost of Yotei port amidst this purely for the reactions

 

[poodaddy]

Absolutely, that's what I was trying to say, you put it more succinctly. I don't get why people even give a shit what platform anything is on, how does it affect you as a consumer?

It's hilarious honestly, ya just gotta laugh at how childish people are lol.

 

[Fabieter]

Fanboys extreme! You would suck Sony if you could would you?

For better dynamic pricing who wouldn't?

 

[Fake]

If that means more exclusives and less GaaS, I'm on board.
