The PlayStation 4 exclusives we want to see on PC

Console-only games we'd love to get our hands on, ranked.

[potatoseal]

If there is a Bloodborne 2 incoming, which I believe there is, then Sony should put Bloodborne 1 on PC just before the number 2 releases. For obvious reasons.

[LordoftheCritics]

As much as I really want the Playstation games to come to PC, I think maybe Sony should hold on to them and we should all buy a PS5.

Sony is tiny compared to MS but have always delivered in games and we should support companies that actually cater to us gamers. I will buy the new Nvidia gpu but will also grab a PS5. I think maybe have a 3yr gap before releasing the exclusives to other platforms.

[Sonic-and-Crash]

@ Lord i agree with yoou ...to be honest i dont want any PS game to come to PC ...the console will lose its value ...i dont understand what PS managers are thinking and leave these open chances of bringing games to PC ...Are nt watching what Nintendo does ?? Which they sell millions copies of software and people buys their games on their proprietary console and noones complains???.....

I said it before: PS managers /CEO follow the Nintendo example, dont give your valuable IPs to PC , in contrast keep exclusives as premium content to augment sales of your hardware and help studios to develop quality products

[catlover316]

Meh, if I buy the games they put on pc I don’t see a reason to buy redundant hardware. Millions will still buy a ps5 anyway.

[Unspoken]

Well, we want good exclusive games released on PC. We should not all buy a PS5 as I wish to build my own hardware. Maybe Sony should come up with an OS for x86 or a store front on PC. I don't like being locked into eco systems and enjoy the openness of the PC universe. You are exposed to so many different perspectives and not limited to a singular console bias. Look what happened to PlayStation, their console sold high numbers and people automatically equate that to the best game titles, when quite a few were mediocre and now have stunted the bar which we judge a great game.

[Nacho_Z]

I agree with the logic but this is one game I would forever keep as a PS exclusive. I'm not sure there will be a sequel, they banged out a couple of DS sequels but there's not been a single solitary peep from them about Bloodborne 2.

[sprinterboy]

If gamers haven't played bloodborne yet, they never will, it's time to pass it over imo to PC.

[_Decadent_Descent]

Bloodborne deserves Mods/4K 60+ fps. To want it locked up and never to shine in its full glory is sad.

[sprinterboy]

Bloodborne is a good choice for PC

[Nacho_Z]

On the other hand if there was a B2 and B1 was only exclusive to PS there would be a fair few PC players who would be 'forced' into buying a PS to play it.

I wouldn't want there to be a situation where people could say "what's the point of buying a PS? All the best games are on PC."

[_Decadent_Descent]

Whatever it takes.

[sampsonon]

@Chriswynnetbh: The reason PS games are soo good is because they make them for one platform. They don't need to worry about the lowest common denominator. If they start Putting their games on pc they will lose console sales. Call me a fanboy all you want, i say "bleep" none ps players. If they don't want to buy the hardware then suffer. Everything in life doesn't have to be catered to everyone. Plus, from what i am hearing, sony is making that gen leap and their ps5 games won't work on a ps4 or pc's without the top of the line ssd. So in the end it wouldn't help sales, it would only hurt them.

PS4 games? sure, if they are coming out with a second game of a popular ip i don't see an issue with them bringing it to pc. But if you want to play ps5 games, then you should have to purchase the bloody console like everyone else. I only bring up ps5 because this is ultimately where this conversation is going to lead.

If you want to play the games then support the console, or shut up!
PS doesn't owe you anything.
Oh?! and ps+ is a money maker for the company, are you willing to pay for the sub? if not, because pc players always make fun of console gamers because of the fee, then you will never see new ps games going to pc, ever!

[crazyCoconuts]

That's the thing - Sony's product is the platform. The awesome exclusive games are to draw customers to the platform. Not just to buy *Sony* games, but to buy *all* your games. Remember Sony isn't making much money on console sales (especially new ones). PC is such a strange beast because there's a significant % of PC players that will not switch platforms and nothing Sony does will change that. So for those people, Sony might as well get some $ for helping fund more game development. But there's still some percentage of PC users that might be tired of dealing with Windows updates or whatever and are ready to switch over - Sony wants to keep the exclusives on their platform to entice those users. It's some kind of delicate balance they have to maintain...

[itsmebryan]

When they bring more games to PC will people say "Playstation has no games!" Like like they do with Xbox?

For me some games like flight sims, FPS, and keyboard and mouse games are better on PC. The rest I like on consoles with a bigger screen and surround sound.

[Vits]

Going by how popular the Souls series is on computers. I would say that both Bloodborne and Demon's Souls would be tremendously successful on the platform.

Spiderman would likely follow that success. Meanwhile the rest of the games would be similar to Horizon Zero Dawn. So pretty good, but not amazing.

That is for Steam though. If they went with Epic is hard to say how well it would really sell. But with Epic guaranteed sales, their numbers would also be pretty good.

Though I don't think we are really going to see much. Sure they talked about it on a investors meeting. But going by how poorly they treated the port of HZD. I'm pretty confident PC support is not a priority.

[Tech5]

"But going by how poorly they treated the port of HZD. I'm pretty confident PC support is not a priority."

Currently the PC port of HZD is in a much better state. which is effectively the PS4 pro version with a couple uncapped options at the very least. it was missing a couple things but those have now been fixed. pc version has snow deformation as well. https://youtu.be/qxQXCK3omu...

Sony has actually shown a considerable effort and priority in updating their ports.
the only major complaint PC gamers had for HZD PC version was how much features and settings it would have for enthusiasts. in which case pc gamers should already know that this is a port of a older game.
that being said, HZD pc port is definitely playable and has a few options for pc gamers to toggle and would be considered slightly above the standard for a port.

[catlover316]

Hzd came too late, and without the huge marketing push it had on ps4.

[Thundercat77]

Sony putting old exclusive games on PC that are no longer generating any money and have already done their part to move the console sales is good in order to create interest on PC players to grab the Playstation and generate some more money.

It is clear that Sony will not put their newly exclusive games on PC in order to hurt Playstation sales. It would be ridiculous.

[catlover316]

I don’t think it would hurt PlayStation sales all that much, and they still make money from software sales anyway.

[angh]

Most of the money Sony is making is from third party software sold on their platform.
1 console is average 9 game sold
30% of nine games sold on release ($60) is $180 per console without any investment.
Horizon on Steam generates Sony around $30 income due to Steam tax.

1 person buying horizon on PC and skipping console is at least $150 loss.
Horizon sold on PS is 100% income going back to sony, vs 70 on Steam.
Add PS plus, ps now and it is not very good business to move all games to PC. I presume only few older titles will be moved to convince PC gamers to buy new ps5.

[catlover316]

thats so flawed, pc gamers buying consoles arent buying a bunch of third party games with it. When you consider they sell the hardware at a loss what are you smoking. They are mostly just getting extra sales they would have not gotten otherwise by releasing on pc, pc isnt almost exactly the same system but with different exclusive games like an xbox is.

[Shiore2u]

What kind of warped logic is that? Why would anyone with a capable PC buy a console based on the games already now on PC? It doesn't generate interest to play games at a worse quality than a higher standard one is already use to. At the end of the day it's the games, not the hardware people end up interested in. Same reason there's been games on PC that console players have wanted, but doesn't mean they've actively gone out of their way to learn how to use a keyboard and mouse based solely around said games. Majority simply hope and pray for a port.

[Shiore2u]

@sprinterboy So? How is that any different from certain ports on either platforms regardless if it's third or first party? The majority won't bother so it's a niche, if not a severely negligible return, as demonstrated in the past with the reverse. The majority simply won't, even at the risk of missing out, it's why concerns over ports are first and foremost the main concern in people's minds and open discussion before platforms. Way to completely miss the point.

[LegoIsAwesome]

"Sony putting old exclusive games on PC that are no longer generating any money and have already done their part to move the console sales is good in order to create interest on PC players to grab the Playstation and generate some more money."

What a dumb idea

[sprinterboy]

The only dumb comment is yours

[Thundercat77]

The only dumb idea I see here is people thinking Sony is going to put their first party games on PC day one.

[Elda]

Agreed.

[anast]

Not sure why you got down voted. Your comment is more than reasonable.

[Atom666]

They're sitting on a pile of cash with the the Drake collection and first TLOU.

TLOU2 gave the first title the last sales boost it will likely ever see again, so I say go for it on PC. And while we know Cory Barlog is on board with a GoW port, I think Sony hesitates there. They've absolutely got to be readying Dreams for PC though.

The one we can bank on may be their biggest ace in the hole, which is MLB. That thing will print money from sales and MTx once it goes multiplat next year.

If Factions and Socom are really coming, then those are my only other potential "day one" multiplats I see from them just because of their MP only potential. Otherwise, I expect select back catalog titles mixed with 2nd party titles.

[RazzerRedux]

Anything Naughty Dog is going to create a major stream of revenue for Sony. Uncharted is pure gold on PC. TLOU? No brainer. Of course, all those PS3 games are just waiting for some love not called PS Now.

Honestly, with the massive library Sony has, they are one of the few who could actually bypass Steam and probably do pretty well with their own PC store. Goosebumps thinking about it.

[Atom666]

Agree. I wonder if they incorporate a store into PSNow on PC somehow?

You don't know how happy I'd be for a PS store and a Nintendo store on PC. I'll always love consoles, but having my favorites all in one place is the dream.

[RaidenBlack]

Other than Bloodborne,
The Last of Us Remastered and Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection can easily be considered the prime candidates for PC Ports. Killzone Shadow Fall can also be considered viable for a port. Order 1886 is a bit dodgy becoz of the acquisition of the devs by FBGaming but a PC build of the game has already been demoed running @ 60fps.

[rainslacker]

I think Ghosts of Tsushima would do quite well on PC. Maybe Days Gone as well. Both big games with lots to do.

[ocelot07]

Pc players want the big ones like bloodborne and uncharted and Spiderman. When they will most likely get Knack and Killzone Shadowfall.

To be fair I wouldn't mind them porting Killzone Shadowfall to the pc.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Whatever the games Sony decides to port over for extra revenue after initial release, maybe the trash talking of consoles will stop along with the nonchalant port begging statements like, "You know, Sony's games could possibly run better with higher frame rates and resolution if they were on PC." Code words for "I wish we had that Sony game."

Who am I kidding. Things will stay exactly the same or worse. Might even turn into, "Our Sony ports look better than on console on our new Nvidia graphics card." "Nyah. Nyah."

[rainslacker]

I kind of liked how around here the PC gamer didn't antagonize the console gamers too much with this kind of stuff. I remember a time where such things were pretty common place in a lot of forums. Yeah, it crops up every once in a while, but it was never very prolific.

Lately, there seems to be more PC enthusiast which like to go on their GPU tirades, but I think that is just because a new generation is looming, and a lot of console players are saying how consoles may actually surpass PC in some ways because of SSD tech, which it probably will in some areas for a while.

[PaleMoonDeath]

Bloodborne, that way they'd want to fund a dang sequel!

[Vanfernal]

Putting games with upcoming PS5 sequels on Pc would be a great way to hype PC gamers into buying a console. I believe that was the strategy with HZD. However releasing brand new games to PC would hurt the PS5 sales and be against their best interest. We also have to see how PS4 games are enhanced on PS5. For example if Bloodborne got a patch to unlock framerate and visuals on PS5 it would revitalize interest in the game. I'm very eager to see what Sony's plan is going forward.

[Father__Merrin]

PlayStation will loose its value if that happens same with Nintendo. All the games people want to play are on consoles so why not buy one?

Some titles could be universal though, for eg a socom reboot with cross play pc/ps5 etc or creative games like dreams

[Jericho1337]

No it won't, if anything exposing your games to a wider audience will increase the brands value.

[moriarty1889]

keep them OFF pc. Its why PS consoles have always been unique. You could only play those games on one. Don’t devalue the console for a short term gain while losing the long term value PS consoles have always had.Just look at the current state of xbox hardware under Phil with his approach to giving away their games to PC. There is a reason it sold as little as it did and thats with their lack of quality exclusives included as well. It just devalues the hardware.Just my own opinion.

[_Decadent_Descent]

"Don’t devalue the console..."

Fuck that. Don't devalue the games! They deserve to run and be experienced in their full glory by all. Loyalty to corporations, shareholders and consoles/brands is nonsense. Should be loyal to the games.

[The_Sage]

As I've said before... If you want to play PlayStation games, buy a PlayStation. That's the whole point of exclusives. The port begging is getting pathetic.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Like I said above and elsewhere. They're so obvious.

*They deserve to run and be experienced in their full glory by all.*

Translation: I'm a PC gamer or owner of a top of the line PC and I want PlayStation games on PC.

No matter how many different ways they say it, or try to be neutral, it's always the same thing. All the games are on one system to play them RIGHT NOW. And cheaper than building or buying a PC. Nope. "Bring them to PC." is what they are really saying. But it's hidden behind "Everyone should be able to play it."

Lol. "Full glory."

[_Decadent_Descent]

@The_Sage "That's the whole point of exclusives."
Lol Exclusivity IS the problem. And that's the point.

Sony makes more money of software purchases, and more gamers gain access to classic gems and the ability to play the game how they want. It's a win-win. There's really no need to worry about the PS brand diminishing. There will still be plenty of filthy casuals that prefer console over premium gaming, so the console market really isn't in danger.

[Psychotica]

I am primarily a PC gamer but the main reason I bought a PS4 was for Bloodborne. Awesome game.
The only reason I would want to buy it again is because it would be like getting a remastered addition on PC. I hope it does come to PC.

[DarkZane]

There was a rumor that Bloodborne would be getting a 4K/60fps remaster on PS5 and PC. Maybe there was some truth to it, who knows.

[Elda]

I see nothing wrong with 2 to 3-year-old PS exclusives going to PC,usually by that time PS owners will have played them already & most folks are not playing them anymore basically moved on to playing new exclusives. The older titles going to PC will generate some money that can go towards future console exclusives.

[The_Sage]

I agree and disagree. The extra money, and possible interest that could be garnered from a pc port is good, but pc only players could think, why buy a PlayStation when we will get an enhanced version of the game in a couple years. Also, the people working on pc ports could be using that time to be working on new PlayStation exclusives in stead.

[Magatsuhi]

I would double dip if it came to pc. BB is the only game I played consistently on ps4.

[angh]

I don't mind any ports, but tbh I would so much more prefer Sony's studio to not waste time with conversion, but fully focus on new games. I think it was enormous waste of time and resources by Guerilla to allocate 80 devs for 3 years for stupid Death Stranding and engine transition. This time could be used so much better.

[Donnie81]

I want everything on pc!

[jwillj2k4]

in my opinion, most console gamers are not pc gamers, however many (not all) pc gamers own a console. Sony will need a healthy gap beween their releases PS and PC in order to not cut into their console game revenue since the former will always buy it on PC. If they plan it right, PC gamers will be willing to purchase the game twice just for the higher fidelity.

[TheColbertinator]

Persona 5 Royal of course

[ILostMyMind]

The certainly way to PlayStation bankruptcy = put its games on PC.

[The_Sage]

Port begging?.. Just buy a PlayStation.

[Skuletor]

I think Bloodborne is the only PS4 exclusive I'd double dip and buy again on PC. Unless it gets some kind of performance patch for PS5

[Christopher]

I think Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima would be major hits on PC.

[anast]

UC4 and Everybody's Golf wouldn't hurt too much, but it will be years if or when they actually put the Last of Us 2, GoW and Bloodborne on PC.

Anyway, I don't get it. With all the serious hardware PCs have — Why can't devs make a quality big budget game for PC?

This is why there are more hours clocked on my PS4, than my PC. Though I must admit, I just found out about Grim Dawn, so this might change. It's "like" Bloodborne meets Diablo and Path of Exile.

[Christopher]

Devs do make quality big budget games for PC, the thing is that those same quality big budget games make more profit on consoles than they do on PC. The only PC games that tend to do better are GaaS style ones that are tailored for K&M and not controller.

[anast]

Which games are those? (recently)

[Christopher]

Crusader Kings III, Marvel's Avengers, Control UE, NBA 2k21, Wasteland 3, Microsoft Flight Sim.

Upcoming: Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2, BG3, CoD, etc.

I 100% agree that PC has the most shovelware Indie games out there, but your biggest budget games that aren't platform exclusive are on PC. And those PC games look better on PC than they do on consoles.

[Father__Merrin]

Fact:

..... the only people that beg for games are those who have no games....

If the argument arises "oh you can play the last 40 years backwards compatibility even with dos box" I'd argue back windows 10 is rubbish for back compat try getting flash point dragon rising running smoothly on win10

[RazzerRedux]

This notion that anyone who wants to see a game come to their platform of choice is "begging" because they "have no games" is just false and silly. And you know it.

[Mister_G]

I think Bloodborne is a special game. A PC release means it will get messed with, don't want that. Within days of release there's be videos of people playing as Amygdala or something even more crazy.

[jznrpg]

If I was a PC only guy I’d say all of them

[MADGameR]

That who wants to see? Horizon Zero Dawn only sold 200k... I don't see the millions of PC gamers running to buy these games. SONY should value their exclusives like Nintendo does and not release it anywhere else but I get it, it's a business.

[Plagasx]

B L O O D B O R N E.

Imagine at 4k 60fps.... Ahhhh.....just tickles my man parts.

[RgR]

Not a good idea for the PlayStation brand.
Exclusives matter. Individuality matters.

[sdplisken]

How come i never see a list of "PC games we want to see on console" ????

[Sophisticated_Chap]

I think Killzone: Shadow Fall would be a game that would doo fairly well on PC.

[AndrenNguyen1471992]

No way Sony will put it on PC ... It's one of the most important games on Playstation that Sony need to hold on PS5

[Xavi4K]

I think they will have all ps4 line up on PC as well as Ps5 games after a year or so. They never said they will only put old games on PC. Plus they already have the cloud service on PC so why not make extra profit?
