C'mon Sony, do us a solid and just release it on PC already.

Monkey's Paw wish granted: The PS6 is a dedicated gaming PC that can only play Sony games.
I mean that's kinda what it already is
Why would he get in trouble? Sony only owns 15% of From. And who the hell would fire him? That'd be like firing Kojima. And we see how that turned out for Konami.
Sony execs: "well we were going to send Kratos after him, but he only said he 'wasn't opposed', so you can send Kratos home."
Knowing how good companies are at taking decisions, they'd be capable.
I started playing this the other day on a standard PS4 and the frame rate can be really choppy at times. A PC port taking advantage of modern hardware would be amazing. The art direction's already perfect, it just needs to run at a frame rate that doesn't make it difficult to time combat maneuvers.
With all the exclusives that Sony has ported to PC, it's so mind-boggling that this is the one they've kept on ice. Maybe they feel like a remaster is their ace-in-the-hole for PS6, a la Demon's Souls?
I believe this is exactly what's happening. Why would they just patch this in or release a mid-console cycle remaster when they can release a system-selling remake.
For sure. Will probably be even more likely if the Elden Ring DLC does really well and further propels FromSoft into a true mainstream household name.
Bloodborne 60fps patch is on Silksong levels of hype in the souls community. Guaranteed sales FS.
From has sat on this so long that 60 fps isn't even good anymore. I'll wait for the 120 fps patch before buying
I'm in the camp that 60fps is still acceptable. With the Steam deck I think I've even moved to thinking that a stable 45 fps feels smooth enough. 120Hz is a bonus, but I think mods will give you unlocked framerate if the game comes to PC.
Framerate unlocking mods on PC for other From games have had major issues. The studio still has terrible practices with tying animations to framerates, damage to framerate, etc
Agreed, it's not perfect. Never mucked around with them myself, as 60 has been fine enough.
It's bound to happen.
Sony has been breaking into the PC space for a bit now.
Last I heard, there were some issues about who owns the IP and copyrights? I'm not overly familiar, but legal jungle combined with corporate politics may be scary enough to navigate that Miyazaki would rather be careful around making explicit statements
Oh great. Can't wait for Sony or something to come in and completely ruin the IP with a movie or some shit.
This is taking way too long.
