If spider man is coming to PC I don’t think there is any Sony property that is off the table for PC.
Was NOT expecting this announcement! Of all the PS games I was expecting to come to PC, Spider-Man wasn't one of them. I figured it was going to be part of the licensing deal, but that now means every single PS exclusive is in play now for PC
The licensing agreement would hardly demand Sony to not release outside of playstation imho.
totally agree with you that likely some money was exchanged and terms negotiated, but would be hard to think Marvel playing hard against it.
The plan will be - sell on console, when console sales slow, shift it to psplus and then use pc to bump up the cash flow.
What Sony need to do now is get some form of distribution on PC - I could see them buying epic games for the game services, unreal engine 5 and also epic game store.
I'd rather Sony create their own PC launcher with a shared trophy system. PC gamers will come.
They could definitely try to make a deal to buy Epic, but since Unreal Engine is by an absolute mile the most used engine in the gaming industry, that might ruffle some regulatory feathers. Epic Games Store is not that used though when it comes to anything outside of Fortnite, as Epic's own financial reports show. So if they're bleeding too much money due to EGS, which according to Tim won't be profitable till 2027, I can see them willing to sell.
From what I remember there are some tools, mid-engine etc, that is owned by MS and used on whole market without issue.
I don't see them buying out all of Epic, just to then make all their ports exclusive to one store, not when Steam is still the most popular one.
Sony are fine to release their ports on as many storefronts as possible.
Sony's not buying Epic. $32 billion is their current valuation that does not include the premium of buying out Tencents 40% of the company. Sony already own 5% of Epic, (similar to their stakes in BilliBilli, Kadokawa, Devoler Digital etc.) its purely an investment to strengthen relationships, share tech etc.
Why can't Nintendo do the same thing and just release a few games on PC. I don't expect any Mario or Zelda, but cmon, I just want Bayonetta 2 and 3.
Anyways, I am excited to see this game on PC, should sell like hotcakes! I'll be buying it for sure!
Welcome addition to players who haven't experienced a nicely crafted superhero game!
Day 1 purchase if I get a Steam Deck!
It’s worth a buy at $30 or so for the movement and story. The combat is Batman and the filler content is the definition of repetitive collect-a-thons.
But a must play for fans. The movement is really good.
So it cannot be on both Epic and Steam?
That closed ecosystem mentality...
Damn. ?
Joke?
