Ahhhhhhh the good old Killzone 2 MP days... TBH this really would be a great idea. I am one of the few that actually love the slow and heavy nature KZ's combat in MP compared to other FPS games. A BR game would be really interesting.
GG really ought to have done this earlier. With Apex Legends out, I'm not sure if it's still worth it. That said, if GG could somehow incorporate KZ3's Operations mode into BR, it could be something very interesting.

Imagine if Respawn had that approach, "PUBG and Fortnite have taken over the world and there's no point in doing Apex now" :p

Is Operations the mode where the game changes from PvP to other modes like capture the flag dynamically ? I remember that was received fairly well.

True, but PUBG and Fortnite are kind of different in the sense that Apex is a dedicated fps much like COD Blackout. Only that COD is a $60 game, so there was space for a free to play game of this nature.

Yup, that's the one.

dont u guys think this is a bad move from sony, i havent finished hzd yet and was thinking when ps5 will come i,ll be able to play it with 60fps and 4k res etc but now this news, although i m a pc gamer but i think sony should keep console exclusives exclusive, as consumer point of view i m not seeing myself buying xbox seriesx why coz i know its games will also come to pc similarly if sony start doing this dont u think this will damage PS brand

This particular game is 3 year old so it really doesn't effect them much in terms of sales or the exclusivity being effective, I personally think this is coming to PC because they already put in the effort to port Decima to PC for Death Stranding.

If Sony starts putting first party games on PC day and date like MS will, that will be a different matter.

right. i dont think sony will go ms way plus by releasing hzd on pc and releasing hzd2 on ps5 pc only crowed will surely buy ps5 after playing it on pc so in business point of view this move make sense

I think Sony is testing the waters. We don't know if they will take the same route as MS but the interest in expanding their audience is clearly there, whether it is through putting exclusives on PS Now or natively on PC.

Consoles are always sold at a loss and the continuous revenue stream are game sales (predominantly multiplatform games), peripherals and subscriptions etc. Multiplatforms on PC are best versions of games available on consoles and people who want to play on consoles will continue to do that as they do now.

HZD has already fulfilled its exclusive potential and I'm rather happy that more people would be able to experience it. The game deserves more love.

PS4 literally broke even within the first few months of its launch. It's likely quite profitable since the die shrink. The console hasn't seen many price drops.

Multiplatforms on PC are best versions of games available on consoles and people who want to play on consoles will continue to do that as they do now.
We have yet to see the implications of a new gen console launch where consumers are well aware of the availability of its first-party library on another platform. The Xbox Series S and Series X will be a good test case for how much exactly, if at all, the lack of exclusives hurts a console's sales.

PS3 was the last notable console which really sold at a loss for a longer period because of the wasteful Cell processor R&D. Nintendo's consoles are almost always sold at a profit from day 1 too.

Nintendo makes toasters though :p

This really doesn't change the point I was making. Software sales (predominantly multiplatform games) and now subscriptions (PS Now, PS+, Game Pass) contribute the most towards the revenue for MS and Sony. The hardware itself, not so much in comparison.

Donno i m lost!!
the salty comments of fanboys saying Horizon ZD is old news keep forgetting one fact! its not the game but the mere fact that a Sony's in-house dev just sold their most significant exclusive this gen is gateway to future non-exclusivity.

let that sink in! :flame:

lol so the goalposts have quickly been adjusted from a sweeping statement about consoles:

Consoles are always sold at a loss and the continuous revenue stream are game sales (predominantly multiplatform games), peripherals and subscriptions etc.

Because Nintendo makes "toasters", not consoles. :lol:

It's Guerrilla Games' most significant exclusive this gen for sure, but not anywhere near the most significant Playstation exclusive. So far, GoW and Spiderman have been the biggest ones this gen. The Last of Us Part II is expected to be as big, if not bigger.

in these times, i wont be surprised if Sony decides to sell them on MS's console let alone PC :lol:

i imagine, if it were GoW instead of HZD, would u have called it no way near the most significant sony exclusive too?

    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.
