It’s a $30 release brand new. Don’t get your hopes up, they’re shoving this one out the door and moving on. Budget price, ugly 3D & multiplayer only, feels like a mobile title that got upgraded to a console release at the last minute, or something they couldn’t figure out how to monetize as a freemium game so they just ported it up to try and milk any value out of it that they can.
Really would have loved a proper next game following SoT and TFBW, those are two of my favourite titles. I get why they wanted to do something else, but they couldn’t have designed a more underwhelming follow up that has no crossover with the audience for the first two games.
The VAST majority of people play this kind of game on console.
PC has infinite configurations and therefore is harder to test for.
That’s it. It’s way more work for way less users. When they release for Xbox and PS5, they are basically testing against two fixed PC builds, and that’s it. The other stuff is a factor, but a minor factor at most. Those are the two big reasons, everything else is an afterthought, and there is no big conspiracy at play.
Plus, literally every Rockstar game in modern history has been released on console first and then PC, if it gets a PC release at all. Why would this be any different?
This is coming from someone who never played RDR1 because at the time I refused to play anything not on PC, so I understand wanting it. But you can want/hope that it happens and still accept the reality without inventing a conspiracy as to why they chose not to target it.
I feel the exact opposite. Nightdive is doing EXACTLY what everyone should do.
First, Enhanced Edition to drum up hype and put the true original title back on the map. Then, the ground up remake to provide a new and refined experience.
This what they did with System Shock 1, and it worked great. I wish Capcom would do this with Resident Evil. I love the Resident Evil Remakes, but the originals are their own experience and having them available too in the best quality they can on modern platforms would be awesome.
