"also available via the Epic Games Store"

I'm pretty sure Epic Games Store is available in over 190 countries and 30 territories. So anyone that said that this game was not available in them was just lying.

I'm so shocked by games journalists and fauxragers lying. Really shocked. I do pity them though. I can't imagine going through life with such anger... at everything.

Hehe, you do know how much PC players whine about having multiple store platforms when really all they want is Steam to run a monopoly. Thank ye heavens for Gog and Epic.

When Steam is one of the very few actually trying with it's feature set it's a hard sell to get people to want something on a storefront that could care less about improving it's service. GoG is another exception, but Epic, which is still missing many features that have been on Steam for years like every other publisher just half-ass it, so they've earned and continue to maintain their poor reception and presumably act confused come every quarterly report for failure to understand the market they're in. Who really wants to invest in something that actively instills little faith?

Interesting answer from co-pilot when asked what are the differences between EGS and Steam.

Copilot
The Epic Game Store (EGS) and Steam are both digital distribution platforms for PC games, but they have some key differences:

Game Selection: Steam has a larger selection of games, including both indie and AAA titles, and has been established longer, since 20031. EGS, while newer, offers a curated selection of games, including timed exclusives and titles not available on other platforms1.

Revenue Split: EGS offers a more favorable revenue split for developers, taking only a 12% cut compared to Steam’s 20-30%, which can be a big draw for game publishers1.

Free Games: EGS is known for its regular giveaways of free games, which has been a major feature since its launch in December 20181. Steam also offers free games, but less frequently1.

User Interface: Steam provides a more feature-rich experience with user reviews, community discussions, game streaming, and non-gaming software. EGS has a more streamlined interface, focusing on a simpler user experience1.

Social Features: Both platforms offer social features like friends lists and chat functionality, but Steam’s community features are more extensive, including groups, forums, and user profiles1.

Exclusivity: EGS has secured exclusive deals for certain games, making them available only on their platform for a limited time before they can be purchased elsewhere1.

These are some of the main differences that set the two stores apart. Each platform has its own strengths and caters to different preferences and needs.

Co-Pilot forgot to mention: Both offer software, but Steam is very much more in-tune with VR with its Steam VR integration.

@bunt-custardly
I wouldn't take AI as gospel, especially a corporate one that ends most every answer with meaningless neutral ambiguity. You're better off actually talking to humans that use either and have something to lose, be it time, energy or financial investment. Personal experiences AI can't relate to.

This game on ps5 pro is gonna rival some cgi films I reckon

purple10130d ago

good point, ps5pro will be in my price range though, and il sell it and only loose a few hundred, if I sell a £2000 gaming pc after 5 years, il loose £1000

Shiore2u30d ago

@purple101
Why would you sell your gaming PC? Unlike a console you don't have toss the whole thing to upgrade.

Hofstaderman30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Not waiting two to three years to play it.

purple10129d ago

@Shiore2u. yes another good point, but I still have 2 good points, 1, its in my price range, and 2, eventually you do have to upgrade pc's in whole,. motherboard for instance, as newer graphics cards eventually wont play nice etc. so by then parts have depreciated, a lot.

this is a situation, where two people can be right at the same time,- & I love those moments.!

wesnytsfs28d ago

@Hofstaderman, yea that part deff sucks. I think that window will be getting much shorter though after what has been coming out of Sony about PC games. Most the time I finish it on ps and then when it comes out on PC replay it on their for best expereince.

I can only think of these release windows for Ghosts. May through September assuming GTA 6 releases early October. So early September maybe even late or mid August just to be extra safe. However it won't release anywhere in Fall (because GTA). With the said it could be early February 2026 or early March of that year.

That all depends if it shows up at Sony's pro showcase or VGA's. If it does show up at those events, then expect it spring through Summer release dates. If they no show those events then early 2026.

isarai31d ago

Jim really threw a wrench in the gears of PlayStations 1st party. Almost 4 yrs since PS5 launched and not even a tease or announcement from ND, SP, Bend, or Bluepoint. I hope the rumored showcase is true cause we really need something from these studios.

outsider162431d ago

I hope they go all out in the showcase too. Like announcement from all the studios ND, SP, Bend, SantaM, Bluepoint..

P_Bomb30d ago

That’s the hope I keep clinging to. A first party free for all.

bloop30d ago

We're a few years in now and we've only had a handful of of games from their big studios and no clue as to what's coming. I think everyone's been more than patient and it's about time Sony show their hand. At this stage I don't even care if some games are 2/3 years away, just at least let us know what they're working on already. This has to be the most barren generation so far.

DarXyde30d ago

I don't disagree, but PlayStation does have a finite number of studios that are into the big production budgets.

Once you announce and drop them, it's going to take some time to reload that clip. I'm not really surprised that Sony has really not been announcing anything.

rokos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Maybe they are operating on a 5-6 year release cycle at least that is how much time it took them between Ghost of Tsushima (2020) and their previous game Infamous: Second Son/First Light (2014). But its all rumors at this point they could show the game next month and still release it in 2026.
