Support NeoGAF

[remember_spinal]

Seems like PC Ports are ramping up. Seems inevitable Sony is gonna build or buy a company with a PC launcher soon :COUGH:GOG/CDPR:Cough:

The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategy and commercial activity within Global Channel sales and will deliver a single, optimized PC Sales growth and commercial plan to hub and territory teams to implement. Identifying future sectors & partnerships for commercial growth. The plan should support the delivery of the agreed global channel sales critical metrics.

To do this they will lead collaboration with partners such as CDS leadership, GSBO Hub and territory leadership, global marketing, WWS, Legal, Corp Strategy, PPM, and other global commercial partners (e.g. Genba, Epic, Steam).

The candidate will need to be flexible and open to evolving roles and responsibilities aligned to the changing needs of this business unit as it grows and expands.

Can’t see them following microsoft down this path without making sure they can recoup even more money with pc releases. Wouldn’t be surprised if they even do sony pc store exclusives like Epics been doing. They probably could have made a ton of money from God of War and Horizon had they not had to break Steam/Epic off their 30%

Going all in. Within 2 to 3 years it will be a completely different ball game. Looking forward to it.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Bloodborne god damn it. Bloodborne on the double

 

[elliot5]

Release ports after 6-12 months. I’ll take my six figure salary and stock options Sony thanks

 

[HTK]

I would love for them to have a PlayStation Launcher, until then I'll keep buying single player games and their exclusives on the PS5. Everything else, PC.

You should apply for the job dude.

[Buggy Loop]

It’s fucking simple which games we want

Spoiler

But Bloodborne first

 

[nominedomine]

If you mention Bloodborne in the interview you are out of contention.

Now, a bold strategy would be working on some PS5/PC collection of games that are stranded on PS3.

 

[Jennings]

Release on PC six months before PS5 release just to work out any issues.

 

[Kilau]

Bring us day one and play anywhere, I’ll be super happy.

 

[Craig of War]

They should port all the old ones like Infamous, Killzone, Order 1886 first
i would lov to play the older games in uncapped frames

 

[Midn1ght]

They probably could have made a ton of money from God of War and Horizon had they not had to break Steam/Epic off their 30%

Also, Valve's cut drops to 25% at $10 million in sales and 20% at the $50 million mark. Epic takes only 12%.
They sure can have their own store with benefits but ignoring Steam and Epic would be a bad decision in my opinion.

Good to see them investing in the platform tho, might help them reaching new markets where mobile and PC are the norm over consoles.

Launchers are trash, we need to get rid of them all together.

 

[MonarchJT]

this seem a move which would only be done by a company that is only interested in late port for double dipers

by the end of this gen they will release everything on PC on day one. I bet the account

 

[Zeroing]

Playstation games coming exclusively for Macs.

 

[Kdad]

Plot twist: PC is shorthand for the upcoming PlayStation Compact console.

PC doesn't need another launcher. Just keep bringing the smoke to Steam, please.

 

[Black_Stride]

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I’m still calling day one ports PS5 and PS4 ports eventually.

 

[nominedomine]

Wouldn't be a bad idea to get some proper Mac ports, feels like an untapped market.

 

[kyliethicc]

RIP Bryank75

 

[Beer Baelly]

 

[Goalus]

They say Genba (?), Steam, Epic.
Why did they leave out the Microsoft Store?

It really is, the problem is the App store and Apple's weird rules for it.

 

[mejin]

As long as the successful big games are coming, no problemo.

by the end of this gen they will release everything on PC on day one. I bet the account

Which one?

 

[HTK]

I rather have my PC have that connection with my PlayStation account to be honest. So anything I buy on PlayStation I could play on PlayStation Console or PC along with all my friends.

 

[hemo memo]

Probably PS+ New subscriptions will also include a PC tier aka Gamepass ultimate.

I'm sitting here in disbelief that you actually thing a PC Playstation launcher would actually have crossbuy.

Sony's never going to do that. C'mon man

 

[Holammer]

We have video of Bryank75's reaction.

The Microsoft strategies that everyone laughed at a few years ago now just seem inevitable. Sony playing catch-up.

It's not anymore or less delusional than thinking that they won't. Unless you are privy to some information that the general public isn't.

If they don't go that route then I hope they favor Steam over any other launcher. In fact I'm glad a lot of launchers have died like EA Origin and Bathesda Launcher...

 

[The_Mike]

For everyone saying Bloodborne it will miss one framerate per post on pc, starting from thirty.

At this rate it will go minus pretty fast.

What I'd like to see is some integration between Steam and PSN where friends, trophies, etc. are synced up so that even if I do buy a game on Steam then I can continue being fully involved in the PS ecosystem. To me that would be ideal.

Would make more sense if they made a studio focused on that instead o buying a whole company

I'd be down with this as well.

I'd rather not...... Hell emphatically no would be a correct reaction to this comment lol. Cross play with PC players is bad enough, with the cheating among other things.

With this you won't be able to turn it off

I agree about the cheating aspect of it, however it's inevitable that all of these platforms will keep pushing crossplay. My hope with crossplay maturing is for them to be more aggressive to fight cheating issue. I know it'll be an up and down battle but maybe if these publishers get together and start shutting down these shops through legal means.

They can just put on Steam for MacOS.

Wait steam works on a Mac? guys, guys I am a PC gamer

I don't own a Mac (in part because there's close to no game support for them, specially now with the M1) but there seems to be a Steam client for it.

I’m still calling day one ports PS5 and PS4 ports eventually.

It's a given for their GaaS games.
