H_dev, do games w Hades 2 will be a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch

im pretty sure I have it on steam as early access and im waiting for the full release to finish the story…

Great, but I’ll keep playing it on my steamdeck. With your console exclusivity.

Bakkoda,

I just got mine a week ago. I haven’t turned on my PC since lol

ouRKaoS,

When I got my deck, my instant library of things to play due to old Humble Bundle purchases was staggering.

My backlog would take several lifetimes to complete, and I still by new games because “sale!”

I need to DL all of them before society collapses and there’s no access…

“But there was time now…”

thermal_shock,

$1-10 now is preparation for the future

Having already purchased the Steam early access version, I was ready to be pissed off until I read further in.

I’m sure they’re getting a ton of cash from Nintendo.

I’ll stick to the steam deck and recommend it to anyone who asks.

Considering that 99% of other “portable consoles” on the market are actually handhelds pc, which can download it fron Steam… No. It won’t be.

I hope they’re prepared to have a fraction of the success they would have if they didn’t continue the absurd concept of console exclusivity.

4am,

It’s also on steam, like already you can buy it in Early Access

I don’t think many people who aren’t to Hades are like “aw fuck I can’t play it on my PS5??”

The three Xbox users are in shambles though

Ah, didn’t know that it’s on Steam. Well, there’s that at least. Still not a fan of console exclusivity either way, though.

I needed to check. “console exclusive” means it’s coming to pc and both switches.

sauce (kotaku)

straightjorkin,

Oh both switches?

SchwertImStein,

in OP’s link, scroll once, see “latest update”

That seems like a questionable move tbh

very_well_lost,

I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer ‘questionable’ for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

I’d imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.

very_well_lost,

Hades 2 is only console exclusive to the Switch 2; it’s also releasing on Steam.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, yeah I didnt gleam that from reading the word console a million times in the article. Thank you. It makes sense now. Nintendo money + Steam sales.

Stovetop,

It’s no different from Hades 1. It was exclusive to PC and Switch at launch, then released for other consoles 11 months later. If it worked out for that game, I don’t see why it wouldn’t for this one.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.

Every character in the first game is hot. Every character in the second game is also hot.

Then there’s Dionysus.

Methinks that’s why Silksong has taken forever to come out. Will likely be a console exclusive as well for a time

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

We already know it’s going to be on Switch 2 and Xbox, including Game Pass day 1. It’s not going to be exclusive, but at the very least, Microsoft paid handsomely for it.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Oh meaning PlayStation will have to wait then

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Microsoft is bringing their own games to PlayStation at this point. It’s possible it’s kept off PlayStation, but I doubt it. Team Cherry knows what their game is worth, and that would be a massive buyout.

zipzoopaboop,

Silksong hasn’t taken much longer than og hollow Knight. They just announced it too early

Does the Steam Deck count as a PC or as a console?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

In this case, it counts as a PC, but given that you have to ask the question, I think that speaks volumes.

simple,

PC.

mj_marathon,

The dictionary definition of “console” would include the deck AND gaming PCs.

4am,

The line in bluring, but the Deck can run Windows if you want, it’s a PC stuffed into a controller (and that’s not a dig at it, either)

JakobFel,
@JakobFel@retrolemmy.com avatar

Both. The future isn’t in consoles, it’s in console-like PCs. Just wait until Valve drops the Fremont, I believe it’ll change absolutely everything.

PC, because console has less games than PC

TurboHarbinger, do games w Hades 2 will be a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch

exclusive

Bro, there is no other consoles.

This shit is already exclusive on PC. I bet it can run on the shittiest Enterprise PC you can find. You don’t even need to buy a 450usd consoles.

News are so retarded these days.

It’s just the first batch, calm down…

SpiceDealer, (edited ) do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during an economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!

Mikrochip,

Hang on, Nintendo fans are into findom? That would explain a few things. On a related note, I think I finally understood why people keep giving Chris Roberts money for Star Citizen.

XM34,

I mean, I bought the starter ship for SC which was 40€ I believe and I still play occaisonally. I’d say I definitely got my money’s worth out of that game.
