I really enjoyed Destiny, but I didn’t play it nearly as much as you’d think I would. It has everything I want in a game: engaging gameplay, content that incentivises long term play, and a satisfying (and frustrating, at times) gear grind. The main reason I didn’t play it more than I did, however, was that there was no way for me to play with my partner. There’s very little reason to own two Playstation 4’s, and with no cross-platform servers I was unable to play a game I enjoyed with my favorite person. When I heard the announcement of Destiny 2 on PC, I was extremely excited. It seems from initial reports that this will be no simple port from the console versions. Graphically, it blows the two consoles out of the water and brings true meaning to the phrase “PC Master Race.”

The announcement of Destiny 2 on PC was exciting, but there’s now news that the PC version of the shooter-turned-mmo will arrive later than the console version. This leaves a good portion of the fan base understandably upset, as they’ll have to wait a decent amount of time to be able to play the game on their platform of choice (Let’s just hope the wait isn’t too long). As reported by PCgamer, Destiny 2 director assured fans that a desire for top-notch quality was at the forefront of the decision to delay the PC release:

“We’re not committed to a PC date yet, but at Bungie we’re totally committed to making a PC build as great as we can…Our partnership with Blizzard and being on Battle.net, we want to make sure that this version of the game has the time it needs to bake in the oven so it’s a delicious piece of bread when it comes out.”

The commitment to quality really shows in the initial gameplay reveal of Destiny 2 on PC. The gameplay settings were locked on medium, but the graphics blew the console versions out of the water. There’s no doubt playing the game on max settings will push your rig to its limits, but if you have the hardware, Destiny 2 on PC will deliver.

The game runs with an uncapped framerate at a 4k resolution, and there was a noticeable disparity in fog and view distance when comparing Destiny 2 on PC with the console versions. For those looking for the best graphics possible, it may be worth it to wait for the eventual release on PC. as mentioned above there’s no confirmed release date, but as soon as we know we’ll publish an update with the new information. Are you guys going to buy Destiny 2 for console on release? Or will you be patient and wait for the graphically superior version on PC. Let us know in the comments below!

Helldivers 2 has quickly become one of Sony’s top-selling games in the US

Published

on

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Published

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Will Stellar Blade be available for PC?

Published

on

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.

The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.

Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
