OOf thats what you call a leak.

hmm how much popcorn am I gonna need...

Orchard990d ago

Mhmm, sure they are speculative.

VersusDMC990d ago

Yep. Bayonetta 3 is on that list...Nintendo is releasing on PC everyone! Let the speculation run rampant and without logic.

Geforce now is getting a lot of free press from you guys...good job.

Orchard990d ago (Edited 990d ago )

It's not impossible that B3 comes to PC...

Sega published B1 on non-Nintendo platforms including Windows.
B2 was published by Nintendo
B3 has Sega involved again... could just be for original IP rights though.

Even if these titles were speculation by Nvidia, they would need to have some reason to believe B3 may come to PC ;) Otherwise why not just list Mario etc in there too?

VersusDMC990d ago

Hideki kamiya said bayonetta 3 will get show when Nintendo wants it to be show...seems like Nintendo is in charge. First party Switch PC ports incoming...it's not impossible, right?

All the Nintendo games will be 60fps on the Valve handheld. Can't wait.

FlameWater990d ago

Sony fans have not responded because they're still on the floor after they fainted XD

Darkborn990d ago

From what? We don't know if any of these games are being released on pc. Some games were being streamed for development during covid and still are. Yes, some PS games will release on pc, but not day and date and I don't think and current ps5 games are yet.

LOGICWINS990d ago

"Yes, some PS games will release on pc, but not day and date and I don't think and current ps5 games are yet."

Let's assume these games DID appear on PC day and date, how does that affect PS5 gamers? In my mind, Playstation games on PC means more revenue for Sony...hence more funding for studio acquisitions and sequels.

neutralgamer1992990d ago

Logic

They won't become Sony still wants to sell hardware and plus subscriptions. We will see older games get ported to PC but if anyone thinks we will start to see day one releases on PC than they don't understand how Sony runs the playstation side of the business. And to answer your question it doesn't affect anyone but this applies to so many things not just games. If Ms decides to make next fallout MP how would that affect Xbox fans enjoyment? Yet we would still see meltdown. You can't control how people feel about certain things

Sony has no issue selling hardware and have the market share. Ms on the other hand are being outsold once again 2-1 and that's with supply shortages. People were freaking out over wolverine being exclusive and by people I mean Xbox fanboys

LOGICWINS990d ago

Anyone whose surprised by any of this has their fanboy goggles on. We've been telling Sony fans this would be happening for the longest.

Jim Ryan is a profit first guy. He doesn't care about the feelings of online console warriors, he just wants your money. The day will come when Playstation games will launch on PC Day 1 and the same people who cry about it will still buy Spiderman 3 and God of War 3.

Darkborn990d ago

He's been head of playststion for a couple years now. Why aren't all the current and upcoming Sony games announced for pc then or already released for it? Nixxes is a small porting studio that does more than just PC ports of games. They helped GG with killzone shadowfall and a few other studios with just optimization. I've never seen killzone shadow fall on pc.

LOGICWINS990d ago

@Darkborn My suspicion is that shareholders saw the additional revenue that came from MLB The Show on Xbox and said “Why can’t we do this with ALL our games?”. Jim Ryan has probably been weighing the pros and cons of releasing PS games on other platforms, but MLB The Show proved that it’s a good idea long-term. That’s why you’re seeing this push to bring games to PC all of a sudden.

Extermin8or3_990d ago

Jim Ryan has literally stated as has Herman Hurst they have 0 intention of day and date bringing titles to pc when it's a first party studio title. That select games would come to pc a minimum of 2 years after their pc release often longer. Atm they outsource the work to third party trams but it appears they have bought one. Yes one studio to handle porting games to pc. So at most I'd expect 1 or two titles a year assuming some of the work is still outsourced. We have uncharted next spring (even that is rereleasing on ps5 before pc). I could see another older title coming end of next year. Potentially the uncharted collection or infamous second son. My money is on the latter what with rumours of a potential new infamous game coming in a couple of years time. Equally I guess God of war could launch on pc about the same time as the sequel releases on ps4/ps5.

Levii_92990d ago

Ratchet and Clank, Gran Turismo 7 ? The new God of war that's not even out ? Are you people serious ? 😂

The only thing i believe might happen in the near future is God of War 2018 possibly releasing on Pc.

Jin_Sakai990d ago (Edited 990d ago )

“Sony fans have not responded because they're still on the floor after they fainted XD“

Umm ok. How does this affect me playing PlayStation games on PS5?

MadLad990d ago

We're going to pretend there's not a bunch of fanboy tribalism had here on N4G?

I remember the vitriol had when Sony created a Steam profile.

Viking_mo990d ago

Tekken 8? Kingdom hearts 4? Bayonetta 3 on Pc? Yeah definitely fake

Darkborn990d ago

Maybe not fake. Devs are streaming these games during covid for dev builds to be tested and worked on.

Orchard990d ago (Edited 990d ago )

"Devs are streaming these games during covid for dev builds"

I have never seen a game be streamed due to COVID. If a PC build exists, why would you not just run it locally on your PC rather than stream it?

Iteration times will be 10x faster locally also since you won't have to upload a build to Nvidia servers.

That being said, I don't think this leak is fake, it seems unlikely those titles were made for any purpose other than developing and ultimately releasing on PC.

VersusDMC990d ago

If bayonetta 3 is on that list it is definitely fake. At least that there will be a PC port.

FinalFantasyFanatic990d ago

Some of these games on that list are too good to be true, there's no way it's real, we wouldn't have such good luck.

Eidolon990d ago

Damn, good list. Hope the ones I care about aren't the "speculative" ones.

Evercade Alpha Reveals Affordable Mini-Arcade

This looks fun and affordable for fans of Retro Cabinet games.
Introducing Evercade Alpha, the first Evercade-compatible arcade machine. This bartop-sized arcade gives you everything you want in a home arcade machine with one big feature - full compatibility with the Evercade cartridge ecosystem.

darthv721d 19h ago

I like the Mega Man one more as it has a better variety of games. Strider, Carrier Airwing, Final fight... The other is all SF. Plus i like that i can pop in any of my evercade carts to play as well.

Garethvk1d 18h ago

As long as it is durable; it's a deal.

Sony Says The PS5 Is Its “Most Profitable Generation To-Date"

During Sony’s recent business segment meeting and investor presentation regarding its game and network services, the PlayStation company revealed that PlayStation 5 is the company’s “most profitable generation to-date.”

It’s the top slide of the presentation, showing that in its first four years, the PS5 generation has already hit $106 billion in sales, having almost caught up to the PS4’s total $107 billion generated.

Operating income for the PS5 generation has also already surpassed that of the PS4, having now reached $10 billion.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I wouldn't doubt it. They released a high quality system. A lot of high quality games from themselves and their support of 3rd party developers and indies. They released many high quality remakes and remasters. They released a high quality GaaS game going against the naysayers thinking Sony would abandon single player games. And they most likely are profiting a lot more than PS1, PS2 PS4 and the loss leading PS3 that drained all their profits.

Now, I'll wait to see what's cooking tomorrow. But can you use some of those profits to better support your high quality VR headset? Because, by supporting it, you can sell more games and more systems and make more profits?

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I want RPGs for PSVR2! Good ones of course

shinoff21832d ago

If it had some rpgs I would buy right fking now. It looks dope and alot of fun, but it's biggest game resident evil 4(maybe) I've got no interest in. I'm not a fan of racing games, even with that metro game coming i was never much into that series. Rpgs would be fantastic.

MrNinosan2d ago

Lemme know if ya wanna play some Zenith 🙌
Bought it at release, but haven't played it more than 1-2 hours but for sure on my "todo list".

Cacabunga2d ago

Normal when they released mostly cross gen games so far. That’s a lot of money saved..
We haven’t seen what PS5 can do yet. 4years in and PS4 games still look great to me. The gen leap isn’t quite there yet.

--Onilink--2d ago

The interesting metric for me is the $106billion in operating income/profit (not sales as mentioned in the article) reaching the same as the PS4 did with only half the consoles sold.

In particular because they all are supposed to be making the most per hardware sold after a few years when manufacturing costs are down.

So even putting inflation aside(and the higher console price), it is interesting that they could reach PS4 $ with just half the consoles sold.

Maybe there is more to the metric thats whats seen at face value, but they have clearly been making a lot more money than before on the software side (with also less games released I suppose, given its only been half the generation so far)

VersusDMC2d ago

The bulk of the money has to be coming from the 30% cut on all games and microtransactions. Especially on all the free to play juggernauts like genshin, apex, fortnight, etc.

--Onilink--2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Versus

They are definitely making a lot on that for sure (which the $70 price increase factors into as well), but its not like many of those games werent around for the PS4 too.

They might be counting the gen as a whole and not just PS5 itself (so extra profit from PC sales, whatever that may be)

PS+ price increase and different tiers probably amount to part of that too.

But in general, its still quite a surprising metric. Half the time, half the consoles sold, less first party games released so far and still already making more of a profit than last gen is quite something, and as mentioned, there is probably more to it that we dont know, after all, since we are talking about operating income, all the expenses they have also factor into it, so it is also possible that they have found ways to significantly reduce that + all the means of increased revenue that appear to be factoring into the equation

All in all, just an interesting situation from a business perspective

porkChop2d ago

It's for the whole generation, so it would likely be including PC. They also make much more profit on digital sales vs retail, and digital is far more prominent these days. The generation also started at the height of COVID when everyone was home, spending far more money on gaming/hobbies. It makes a lot of sense for this gen to be more profitable.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

This will surely shut up all the new trolling accounts trying to spread lies and non facts in other articles comment sections before this article is posted.

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Obscurely, those trolls or troll will not show in these articles as the truth is contradictory to his or their orchard-sized daily dose of copium and hopium.

Tacoboto2d ago

Or... They're intentionally trolling you guys specifically. Because they know it upsets you so easily.

Name-dropping Orchard, after this many months? How long has it been and he's still in your thoughts?

Elda2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I'm quite sure the individual is reading these positive comments downvoting & seething at the same time. Edit: It just downvoted my comment...lol!!

Hofstaderman2d ago

No I'm entertained by this individual. I love unhinged people, they are so interesting lol.

repsahj2d ago

Wow! I am super impressed that in just 4 years, ps5 already caught up to the PS4's. Congratulations.

JackBNimble1d 12h ago

That happens when half of your games are cross platform. I'm still waiting to see what the ps5 is capable of, because they sure haven't pushed any limits.

And where are all these ps5 exclusive games?

sagapo2d ago

Not really surprised as Sony barely has any competition at the moment.

Zotac To Reveal Their Portable Gaming PC At COMPUTEX 2024

This sounds like a very interesting mobile gaming PC. ZOTAC returns to COMPUTEX 2024 to showcase its biggest push yet into brand-new product categories from Handheld Gaming.

smashman982d ago
