Still can't believe Sackboy got a PC port over soo many other titles they could've chose from. Hell I'd even think PC Gamers would've liked Knack more!

It's a really good game and I always welcome coop friendly games on PC. But yeah, it probably won't set the Steam chart on fire.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Again recommending 30fps and medium settings on PC. -_-'

 

[Haggard]

Why would you port Sackboy over Returnal or GoT...or Bloodborne......why Sony?

 

[Graciaus]

That's an easy pass from me. I don't think I'd even install it if I got it in a bundle.

 

[Skifi28]

What makes you think it's over the others? They're probably being worked on by different teams as we speak.

Edit: well, not bloodborne.

 

[ACESHIGH]

If they keep porting games at a faster rate than their new game releases, eventually they will run out of games to port. Let's just get this one out of the way.

 

[Killer8]

Why would you port Sackboy over Returnal or GoT...or Bloodborne......why Sony?

Returnal is probably coming this year, it's been leaked so much it's common knowledge now.

As for why? I guess since Sackboy is an Unreal Engine 4 game, the porting is probably relatively straghtforward.

 

[TheDraconian]

Good it's coming to PC. But I feel something like Dreams would make more sense to port.

 

[Haggard]

Returnal is also UE4 and GoT is already 2,5 years old. This was definitely a priority thing, and I don`t get their logic there.

 

[mindfreak191]

Getting this when it hits $20...really doubt it'll do any numbers considering there was basically 0 marketing for this apart from one trailer.

 

[nikos]

Probably the most fun I’ve had on PS5. I'll definitely get the PC version at some point.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

That's an easy pass from me. I don't think I'd even install it if I got it in a bundle.

You're missing out fam.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Good it's coming to PC. But I feel something like Dreams would make more sense to port.

Dreams needs to be on PC more than any other PS game. With cross play Dreams would completely take off.

[DenchDeckard]

Wow, looking forward to seeing how this runs.

 

[STARSBarry]

Just picked it up, cheers for the heads up.

 

[dotnotbot]

Why would you port Sackboy over Returnal or GoT...or Bloodborne......why Sony?

Maybe it's because Sackboy was made in UE4 so it's easy to port.

E: I see Returnal is UE4 as well. Probably coming soon.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I wonder how well it will sell.

 

[ArtHands]

I wonder how well it will sell.

Not buying it because Bayonetta 3 is releasing tomorrow. Will maybe buy on some steam sales

 

[splattered]

Nice! Does the PS5 version have these features? If not can they be patched in perhaps?

 

[OverHeat]

My pc is ready preordered on steam!

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I'm buying it just to support Sony's porting efforts. I have no interest in actually playing it.

 

[kyliethicc]

Knack is heat

 

[Celcius]

is this the first PC game to fully support the DualSense just like on PS5?

 

[Ellery]

That is exactly what PC gamers want to hear.

Great to see

 

[JCK75]

the only game I want from Sony now is SOT
I'd also love Uncharted 1-3 but don't see that happening.

 

[Midn1ght]

Knack is heat

Knack was made in a bathtub filed with Cerny delicious sauce. It is impossible to port on PC.

 

[Fbh]

"But does it run... <checks notes>... Sackboy a Big adventure?"

 

[winjer]

So much bling added to this game, but almost nothing for Uncharted 4.
Very strange.

 

[kyliethicc]

Knack is impossible to port on PC.

100%

And if they do I will burn my PS5

 

[ACESHIGH]

According to PC specs it clearly won't feature optimization. Let's see if this proves me wrong.

Calling it right now. The emulated version of Bayonetta 3 will run better than this game.

 

[ArtHands]

I'm buying it just to support Sony's porting efforts. I have no interest in actually playing it.

I will love to buy it asap but there’s too many games. Recently purchased a Steam Deck and steam sale is coming next month

 

[winjer]

Of all the PS titles, this is probably the one with the least appeal.

 

[Mister Wolf]

I tip my cap to them including RTAO.

 

[tmlDan]

it's messed up that I want to double dip on this cause i think its beautiful on PS5, with all these additions on PC I can't imagine how good it'll look.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Any word on these updates coming to the PS5 version of the game as well? PS4 I can understand missing out but, throw a bone to the folks on PS5 who already bought the game (and at a higher price point) Sony.

Nice! Does the PS5 version have these features? If not can they be patched in perhaps?

Yeah I feel like at the very least the PS5 version should get a patch to support these new features as well. It may have to take a resolution hit in some areas and we know peak framerate would be lower, but it shouldn't be hard to optimize the features for that version of the game.

[Shakka43]

Ok I give up trying to guess, which game is SOT?

Now you know what to expect in a patch for the Pro mid-gen refresh consoles

 

[BabyYoda]

I'll defo get it, but I don't deem it worthy of £50, so will wait for a sale.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

It's a nice little game to play with a group or family.

 

[OverHeat]

 

[MidGenRefresh]

You can get it for £34 on CDKeys.

 

[jaysius]

The cunts didn't put the PS4 version of Sackboy on the Plus gamepass, fuck Sony.

The shit really doesn't make much sense in that ecosystem.

 

[Shakka43]

Have they mention if the game has cross play? I will probably double dip on it if it does.

[Business]

It's 34 quid on cdkeys.
