Top 10 PS4 Exclusive Games that Should Come to PC

Jacob S. from Link-Cable writes: "While we here at Link-Cable would agree that consoles do need to have some exclusives to themselves to make them standout from their competitors, it is still fun to imagine the possibility of seeing more Sony titles make their way to our PC library. And so, here is our list of the best PS4 exclusives games that should make their way to PC."

So basically every. Current gen game that the PlayStation4 has the author believes should come to PC. A bit weird that Dreams was not on the list cause I've seen PC users here on N4G say that they would like a PC port. Which is something I said well before Dreams released and got a deluge of disagrees.

I've also said years ago that PC would like every game to be on their platform, and the age of exclusives is slowly coming to an end. The end is nigh it seems, well as far as PS games going to PC. Would not like to see PS games on XBox or vice versa with the exceptions of Minecraft and Dreams. The only two games that I feel are justifiable being on competing consoles.

Fishy Fingers1885d ago

I'll take the disagrees here - but Dreams is pretty much the only PS exclusive that I think would find a better audience on PC than PS (not to say any PS or XB exclusive wouldnt find a happy home on PC). I just think the PC has a history of and unfaltering love for modding and creation with the communities to support that I believe Dreams would truely excel in for years.

It's what I'd consider the "most PC" game not on PC.

PC has access to all major middleware tools though. which have a lot more freedom and support all kinds of custom plugins, features and can deploy to virtually any device. they can even emulate all of the features of any game making tool. this is also the same community that mods some of the toughest games. not saying it won't find a audience on pc, i just think the platform already has some of the most powerful tools.
the only thing i see most pc gamers would be far more interested in is something that is not offered in equivalence on the platform.

Tech51885d ago

apart from playing other artists creations some creators might not see a bigger need for it on pc. but who knows. there's always room for all types of games on pc.

DevilOgreFish1885d ago

the quantic dream collection did quite well on pc and no one petitioned for it.
i can only imagine the amount of success for the popular games.

AK911885d ago

I think this is the route Sony is going to go anyway, I don't agree with it but at least Switch will always have true exclusives.

Tekken666341885d ago

they're bringing games over apparently. and there are gamers buying them.

The Days Gone Remaster Is an Unsurprising Cash-Grab and Nothing More

Honestly, who is the Days Gone remaster for? Fans of the original won't find anything new here.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. It is a new thing in the remaster. Perhaps it's not worth the $10 upgrade if you've played. But, I mean, if you never played the game, then just wait for it to go on sale, forget about it, and continue not playing it like you did for the last 6 years?

TheEroica13d ago

The downvotes are likely from the excuses... Horde mode doesn't obsolve Sony from cash grabbing its easily duped fanbase.

S2Killinit13d ago

I love how people call this a money grab while the real money grabbing is in other genres. But, I think people who are that dumb deserve to be fed with skins and micro-transactions, and don’t get to complain that single player games of this caliber are few and far in between.

IAMRealHooman13d ago

@TheEroica
they changed the header. it was originally the " Remaster has nothing new" or something similar.

Christopher13d ago

It's still in the description: "Fans of the original won't find anything new here."

Days gone is amazing regardless and for those that didn’t play the original I highly recommend.

SimpleSlave14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Yes. All of Sony's Remasters - all the ones stemming from the PS4 library - are cash-grabs. When all they needed to do was patch them to run at 60fps, up the resolution, and be done with it. But then they had to actually care about Bloodborne, and that's a cardinal sin over at Sony.

On a side note. I just got The Sinking City Remastered for free, because I owned the game. Weird...

anast14d ago

The Bloodborne thing is a real issue.

SimpleSlave14d ago

I'm sure they banish people to the Nightmare Frontier if they as much as whisper the name in the office.

Bebedora14d ago

Cash-grab or not. As long the Bend Studio gets their share, I am for it. I don't know, but I still hope for making of a second title. However, in a way It's a cash-grab. They still put something extra to it (horde mode), that is.

anast14d ago

lol Yeah they seem to hate the idea of a new Bloodborne anything.

I've still got to play the shrinking city. I enjoy Lovecraftian stuff.

RaidenBlack14d ago

Hope the recent remasters like Sinking City and Oblivion, ups the ante and alters the industry's approach.
But what fans really want is just a straight up sequel ... oh and add sequel to 1886 as well.

GhostScholar14d ago

I would love a days gone sequel. Days gone to me is such a better game than the last of us. The world in days gone was so great.

mkis00714d ago (Edited 14d ago )

To me they appeal to different players outside of just being zombie games. I like them both, but days gone is more fun to me. The last of us 2 is my murder game though along with red dead 2 and gta 5. Love the realistic violence.

jznrpg13d ago

I’m a big fan of Days Gone but TLOU is a better made game. How much you enjoyed each game is of course up to you.

neutralgamer199214d ago

With the recent cancellation of Bend Studio’s live-service project, there’s now a real and exciting opportunity for the studio to revisit Days Gone 2. This might be the perfect time for Sony to greenlight the sequel—especially with the PS6 likely on the horizon—because Days Gone already has a strong foundation, a passionate fanbase, and significant untapped potential.

It’s worth remembering that Days Gone was Bend Studio’s first major AAA title developed for a home console. Before that, the studio had primarily worked on portable systems like the PSP and PS Vita, or acted as a support studio. That leap to a full-scale open-world console game was ambitious, and although the game launched in a somewhat rough state, that context is crucial to understanding its initial reception.

Gaming critics were often harsh in their reviews, frequently comparing Days Gone to other PlayStation exclusives that came from more seasoned console studios like Naughty Dog or Santa Monica Studio. Despite these comparisons and the early technical issues, Days Gone still went on to sell over 7.6 million copies—a remarkable achievement for a new IP. Even more importantly, Bend Studio listened to fan feedback and steadily improved the game through patches, updates, and optimizations. Today, Days Gone stands as a much more polished and enjoyable experience than it was at launch.

That kind of growth shows Bend Studio’s resilience and potential. A sequel would not only benefit from their hard-earned experience, but also avoid many of the pitfalls that affected the original’s development. Much of the foundational tech, gameplay systems, and world-building has already been done, meaning the studio can focus more on innovation and storytelling rather than reinventing the wheel.

Compared to the high-risk, long-development timeline of a new IP—which could take 5+ years just to get through pre-production—returning to Days Gone is both a smarter and more efficient route. If Sony and Bend Studio commit to Days Gone 2 now, there’s a strong possibility it could be a key PS6 launch title—offering a fan-driven, proven IP with greater polish, depth, and scope.

Let’s not forget Bend Studio’s deep legacy either. This is the same team that brought us Syphon Filter, a series that helped define early PlayStation experiences. With the right support and direction, they can absolutely deliver a worthy sequel that lives up to the franchise’s potential and the studio’s legacy

Days Gone PS5 Is a 'Really Good Piece of Work', Say Tech Experts

Sammy writes: "Back when Days Gone Remastered was announced, many fans were squinting to see the differences between the excellent original PS4 version and its PS5 re-release.

But now with the game readily available – and our 8/10 review declaring it the “definitive version of a fan favourite” – we’re beginning to get some meaningful tech analysis.

And according to Digital Foundry, this is not just the bare-bones resolution upscale some had anticipated – “a lot of effort has gone into it”, according to the tech experts. "

First game sell well enough to warrant a sequel? Our received well enough?

Alos8828d ago

It sold well but reviewed only okay, which apparently wasn't enough for Sony.

Cacabunga28d ago

Sold well and received even better.. had a bad first month due to technical issues but ended up being one of the best games from last gen

Knightofelemia28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

That's the nature of the beast. If a game like a movie does not meet certain numbers then they write off the franchise. EA scrapped DS2 because the DS1 remake did not meet certain numbers. I was hoping the remaster of DG and the fact it also came to PC would convince Sony to green light a DG sequel.

PanicMechanic28d ago

Critic reviews were appalling. The worst reviewed game I’ve ever seen. By that I mean, poor quality journalism, dishonest writing and review scores which are out of touch with fan reception.
