Petition to bring Nioh to PC surfaces

The PlayStation 4 exclusive Nioh released recently and has been met with some pretty stellar reviews. Unfortunately, since the game is a PS4 exclusive, only PlayStation gamers have been able to get in on the action, but the PC gaming community is looking to change that.

[Nyxus]

Just buy a PS4 already.

[freshslicepizza]

nothing wrong with having games on more platforms, so why should you care if you are already enjoying it on your ps4?

[Nyxus]

It's more of a general statement, if you are interested in the PS4's exclusive library it's probably a good idea to just get a PS4.

[UCForce]

It will kill console. More importantly, exclusive game sell console.

[freshslicepizza]

@UCForce
"It will kill console. More importantly, exclusive game sell console."

no it wont. if you think the only reason people buy consoles is to play games they cant on the pc you are sadly mistaken. you can buy a ps4 for about $250 which is much cheaper than a decent running pc that could play this game. you also get a unified system with consoles that means all of your games/friends/trophies and those sorts of things work seamlessly with one another.

if what you say is true that without exclusives console gaming would die then you are telling everyone that consoles are an inferior way to play games on. i doubt most here would agree to that.

[UCForce]

Yes, it will. Just like Xbox One lost true exclusive.

[freshslicepizza]

@UCForce
"Yes, it will. Just like Xbox One lost true exclusive."

so you are enjoying games like forza horizon 3 on your windows 10 pc, how are you liking it? if you are not buying xbox one games on windows 10 then your answers are fluff. most ps4 software sales are for games that are also on the pc like battlefield 1, star wars battlefront, fallout 4 and the witcher 3. those games run rather well on a $250 console so i dont get your point. people play games on mobile too because there is also a market there.

and nioh is not made by sony so unless sony is subsidizing the developer i see no reason why it shouldnt come to the pc.

[Bathyj]

Well Sony published it everywhere except Japan. I assume that was the deal for exclusivity. They wanted a world wide release, not just Japanese. Sony made that happen. So yes, you could say Sony did subsidise it.

It's ok moldy, we know you don't get it. Apparently Xbox gamers don't understand the value of exclusives.

[bouzebbal]

Would be strange to hear you say the opposite since you are an xbox fanboy.
The problem with multi platform is that nothing justifies the purchase of the console anymore, and the more consoles sold the more games get released on it

[AmUnRa]

Come on moldy, stop stealh trolling. The Masterace wants another Playstation excl.
for their Master PC😭. You want to play Nioh buy a PS4 (pro). If you want to play almost every xbox one (excl.) buy a xbox one...ore you can also play every ecxl. Xbox one game on your W10 PC. Excl games is what the problem is for Microsoft.
And you know that but dont exept it, thats Moldybreads in the flesh...

[Thatguy-310]

Because that's business. These games are tied to the platform so instead of port begging just get the console. It's pointless to port beg for countless of games.

[realplu]

Because Sony invest huge sums of money into this and other IP's. They took the risk. Some fail and some succeed. Should Sony ask the PC community to cover their losses if a game fails?

[GtR35olution]

Im a gamer that games on pc as well but had to have a ps4 for those exclusives i cant play anywhere else. All xbox exclusives are going to pc so a xbox isnt needed. People are lipping about 6 tflops when you can have more than double the compute power on pc with the option of playing xbox games in higher fidelity. Ps4 and a pc is a proper gaming combination. I already have a light switch in my house so thats not needed

[naruga]

buy a PS4 people ...the petions are ridiculous and idiotic ...also as UCForce says exclusives sell a console otherwise PS4 (with all these ridiculous petions to bring bloodborne and now NIoh to PC) would be dead ....

[Why o why]

'It's ok moldy, we know you don't get it. Apparently Xbox gamers don't understand the value of exclusives.'

Tell me about it. Many team X people try to alter the narrative by shifting the goalposts in the hope or guise to devalue the importance of exclusives. I can take the guys who accepted it as a negative for the console and moved on. What I can't take are those who try to swerve through like exclusives aren't one of a consoles lifeblood.

Ms tried to dictate what's important like they've attempted before and some of their fans lapped it up and ran with it. Sony is showing gamers the importance of exclusives. They create desire. . If there's enough desirable titles only found on a solitary system the likelihood of potential buyers of said console increases. It's not rocket science.

[trooper_]

I'm sorry but get your own exclusives. Nioh is fine on PS4.

[Kingthrash360]

Moldy....just stop.
You see all these ps4 games pc gamers want.....they WANT the games. The only way to get the game is to buy a ps4. This is why exclusives are so important. It sells consoles. If it came to pc sony would lose money on consoles and team ninja would maybe make more, depending on if pirating were persistent. BUT this shows why exclusives matter. It give incentive to buy a console you don't own. We'll never see a petition for a xbox console exclusives because pc gamers can play them without buying an xbox. Therefore the xbone userbase takes a hit.

[Major_Glitch]

@Saltybread You poor thing. You just don't get it do you? Exclusives sell consoles. Kinda why the Xbone is losing badly.

[Kaneki-Ken]

PlayStation is the Nioh publisher worldwide except Japan( Publisher fund the games) and PlayStation waisted ton of money on marketing it. So in exchange for free marketing(cost millions on dollars) and publishing their games for free worldwide(Nioh wouldn't have released the game worldwide if weren't for PlayStation), PlayStation keep it exclusive as an exclusive so yeah PlayStation fund it. It like saying why won't Xbox release Dead Rising 3/ Quantum Break/ Alan Wake and more on other Platforms because have the same reason.

[Ceaser9857361]

"nothing wrong with having games on more platforms, so why should you care if you are already enjoying it on your ps4?"

YA! There is something called Exclusive and not Play anywhere BS...

[freshslicepizza]

odd, nobody had a problem with street fighter coming to the pc and sony helped fund that game. sony also helped no mans sky and that too was on the pc. someone should have told sony those were bad deals because it hurt ps4 sales according to you guys.

[rivaldoo777]

Than why not have Zelda on ps4 as well?

[1Victor]

There you have folks moldy is advocating for halo forza gear to go to Nintendo and Sony consoles as well/SSS
Just don't buy the next graphic card and you'll have money to buy a PS4 and 5 EXCLUSIVE games 😱

[freshslicepizza]

team ninja is a third party developer, not once did i ever suggest naughty dog or other first party go to other systems.

[GTgamer]

@moldybread
Sony funds these games for a reason

[Sparta07]

@salty, I like my exclusives.
I care about exclusives cause I invested in console. If that console didn't have exclusives, then why bother?
I would just play on pc.

Funny, before Microsoft decided to make all their exclusives multiplayer, exclusives was very important to Xboxone owners. Especially you.😬

[AdmGenAladeen]

From a devs point of view you are correct as having all games on more platforms is a very good thing. I personally don't care but exclusives like this, whether timed or not, sell systems and make the system more appealing. Sucks for non PS4 owners. Luckily I own a pro and just bought NIOH today.

[DarXyde]

It can potentially set a precedent--that if you complain enough, you'll get your way. It's more or less the position of liberal Democrats in the current American political climate.

You ask for Ni Oh, and let's say they cave: should From Software cave on a Bloodborne sequel? Persona 5? Heck, The Last of Us? Granted, two of those are directly Sony studio titles (developed or published) but it sets a bad precedent. I don't mind games being available on other platforms, but you're asking developers to meet PC gamers on this. Can't PC gamers just invest in a Playstation? If you have the money to be a PC gamer capable of running Ni Oh better than a console, I refuse to believe you cannot afford a Playstation.

[Dragonscale]

Seems Sony don't follow ms's stance on exclusive games. Who can blame them as it means even more reasons to buy their console. Nioh will stay PS4 exclusive as it should.

@moldy, Sony is the publisher. Cry harder. If you're so desperate to play it get a PS4.

[Realms]

Oh right exclusives aren't important that's why you have these jokers starting a petition. I don't care if goes to PC but it's funny how some PC player's shit on consoles yet want to play some of their exclusives GTFO. Sony published the game deal with it it's up to them. So unless you want to wait for Sony to decide wether they should put it on PC or not I wouldn't bet on it since some people are still waiting for Bloodborne. LOL

[DigitalRaptor]

LMFAO. How did I know professional stealth troll himself, moldybread would be the first to reply to the first pro-PS4 comment of this article?

Listen dude. We know you see the ideas of exclusive games to be damaging or negative (because PS4 has so many of them), and conveniently so, since the console and company you shill for lost them all over a year ago, and now have less exclusive games than ever.... but exclusive software is valued but those who choose to purchase hardware for them. Especially so if they are buying more than one.

What's the point in actually purchasing more than one console, if it has nothing exclusive?

Please provide an answer that make more sense than... "I'm a PC gamer, and I want more choice".

[nX]

Wow moldy must be the biggest moron I've ever seen on N4G. Are you even living in the real world or just something that your mind made up? I can't believe you're still getting away with posting BS on almost every article, back when we had the bubble system at least all your comments were marked for trolling and hidden.

[Godmars290]

Aside from buggy - buggier - games?

Or to put it another way: "Hey Moldy, hows Batman Arkham Knight on PC? Playable yet?"

PC isn't the easy access platform PC gaming fanatics consider it - as they update hardware, beef up their systems, and patch games to fixable levels when publishers can't be bothered to.

[Captain_Mushroom]

pc beggars race, lmao

[thisismyaccount]

How about you pc fanatics drop $250 on a PS4/XB1 with few games instead of upgrading constantly your PC for absolutely no reasons at all. How come we keep reading "PC Gaming Market reached $30bn this year and will increase next year" ... when Steam with twice as many games has seen a actually drop (revenue).

WHY do you keep upgrading then? If ya dont play/buy any games ... if you can afford to get a new GPU every 10 months, maybe just maybe it´s a good idea to drop those $250 on a PS4/XB1 instead. Always the same pc port beggars ... annoying as herpes on my stick.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Will it largely depends I don't really know how extensive the deal they had with Sony was in regards to publishing.

[starchild]

Once again we see how downright hostile the extremist Sony fanboys on N4G are towards PC gamers and PC gaming. And yet we're supposed to believe you guys all have gaming PCs. At least that's what you all pretend to have when you want to bash the other console and have an excuse to call it irrelevant.

If you really all had gaming PCs as you pretend you would see the value in gamers being able to play a game like Nioh on PC too.

I have a PS4 Pro and Nioh and I love the game. If it's only available on PS4 then that's where I'll play it, but if I had the choice of course I would prefer to play it on my PC.

This whole "if you want the game buy a PS4" thing is stupid. It makes a bunch of dumb assumptions. First of all, I already own a PS4 and the game, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to see a PC version. Having a PS4 and wanting to see the game released on PC are not mutually exclusive. I would prefer a PC version because then I could play at higher framerates on my gsync monitor and have silky smooth motion and better controller response, as well as play it at higher native resolutions instead of having to choose between resolution and framerate. Surely any true gamer can see the value in that.

I didn't sign the petition, but I think all of this shaming by fanboys of gamers that want to see good games come to more platforms is pathetic and has to stop. There's nothing wrong with wanting to see a good game come to your platform of choice. It's sensible and rational and I've seen gamers on every platform express those kinds of hopes.

If these fanboys really had gaming PCs their attitude towards this would be "that would be great if Nioh came to PC too...because those that only own a PS4 can continue to enjoy it just as they are now while those of us with gaming PCs can enjoy it with even better image quality and smoother framerates". But of course we don't see those kinds of comments from most of them because those people don't have gaming PCs. They're frauds. They claim to have gaming PCs when they want to downplay the Xbox One, but in every other example they are putting down PC gamers, playing multiplats on their console, downplaying PC gaming, and fighting to keep games off the PC.

[TKCMuzzer]

This is why platforms have exclusives, its the whole point of them,to sell hardware.

[Deadpooled]

As soon as I saw that headline I realised why I sometimes like going on N4G, sometimes it is a great resource of gaming news throughout the gaming world helped by it's members, sometimes certain websites to take advantage of the privilege by posting flamebait articles/videos/reviews, and the rest of the time it brings hilarious items like this article. Literally burst out laughing when I saw that headline. Certainly it's a small minute fraction of PC 'gamers' who are making and signing these petitions but all they are doing is making the rest of the PC community look desperate. You want PS exclusive games? Jump on the PS platform bandwagon.

[freshslicepizza]

@starchild

jack tretton did say they had the most supportive fans and people like jim sterling even wrote an article about the fans (and not in a good way). its ok to enjoy your toys but some are just way too possesive as we can see,

"If you really all had gaming PCs as you pretend you would see the value in gamers being able to play a game like Nioh on PC too. "

they see it as a partnership with sony, they dont see it as just games.

"I have a PS4 Pro and Nioh and I love the game. If it's only available on PS4 then that's where I'll play it, but if I had the choice of course I would prefer to play it on my PC."

well as we can see many dont share your opinion, lol

"If these fanboys really had gaming PCs their attitude towards this would be "that would be great if Nioh came to PC too...because those that only own a PS4 can continue to enjoy it just as they are now while those of us with gaming PCs can enjoy it with even better image quality and smoother framerates".

it goes like this, they like to compare most things to the xbox since that is sony's main rival and therefore the fanatics see microsoft as their rival. they hate having the pc brought up in comparisons because we all know the pc can and will trump most game comparisons given the right hardware. but the irony is they scream out how microsoft is losing exclusives and whats the point of getting an xbox. its a complete oxymoron. how many here talk abouit how much they enjoy sony exclusives and windows 10 games like forza horizon 3? very very few which tells me its all one big bluff, they just want to use any tool in their handbook to go after their main rival.

[TankCrossing]

I wonder what the hottest article on N4G is today? Oh good lord, it is a massive PS4 fanboy circle jerk. And moldybread has voluntarily stepped into the middle of it.

What a mess :(

[StanleyRoper]

Look at those downvotes. Looooook at them!

[S2Killinit]

I don't want anyone to be left out in the cold with such a great game. BUT at the same time, I love consoles and I want them to thrive, and Exclusives are sort of important for console gaming's future. Then there is the legal and fairness factors. Sony took a risk on this title, they should be able to reap the rewards. I mean, when they fund a game and it fails I don't see anyone telling Sony that they will help offset the losses (quite the contrary, Sony might even take the blame for the failure of the developer), so why should Sony share the rewards of their hard work when it pays off?

In the meantime, if someone likes Playstation's exclusives, I recommend that they buy the console, I mean you can get one for a pretty good price at this point.

[Phunkydiabetic1]

It's published by Sony. It's a PS4 exclusive. Buy a fuckin ps4.

[Trash_Report]

Heh you sad PC elitist beggars are like somebody who always pretends his rich and popular w/ girls but in reality can only get ugly chicks if any at all. Always begging after all the bragging is just too sad LOL.

[Shakengandulf]

You are one of the dumbest morons I've ever seen.

[Realms]

@moldybread

Do you pride yourself in trolling so hard? I swear you have replaced rookie as the most nonsensical N4G user. You always troll Sony articles hard no matter what you find a way to talk smack.

[PeaSFor]

#BeggarMasterFarce

[ThanatosDMC]

Wonder what happened to PC master race??? PS4 Exclusives remain exclusive.

[rainslacker]

It's rather funny. I remember when MS first dropped PC to focus their MSGS games on Xbox exclusively. I remember fondly the numerous Xbox fans who said, "Just buy a XBox 360 if you want to play the games".

I'm glad that the Xbox fans have become more enlightened though.

That being said, Sony did publish this game, although they don't own it's exclusive rights as far as I know. If it comes to PC, it'll be through a different publisher, bec ause Sony doesn't do PC anymore, and it's hard to say if the dev would expend the resources to port it to PC.

[mikeslemonade]

I own a PC and don't care if it comes to PC. Since I have PS Pro it won't make much difference. Exclusives should stay exclusive.

[Aenea]

@starchild

"First of all, I already own a PS4 and the game, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to see a PC version. Having a PS4 and wanting to see the game released on PC are not mutually exclusive.

Surely any true gamer can see the value in that. "

But would you own a PS4 (Pro) if ALL games would be on PC? Since you already have a PC that can run Nioh better it seems likely you can run all games better on your PC which in turn would mean you will not have a need for a PS4 anymore.

Which then means Sony stops selling consoles, stops selling PS+ subscriptions, loses ton of income, closes first party studios, can't afford to finance games anymore and Nioh 2 will never get made.........

I agree Sony fans should not ridicule PC gamers wanting a game like Nioh, but I don't think saying "you want to play it? buy a PS4" is all that bad a reply. It's the truth, and without PlayStation the game might not have existed in the first place, so it is indeed weird for PC gamers to even start petitions like this. Many have been done in the past for other games, heck there's even one for Horizon Zero Dawn, a first party game! Nothing has changed because of these petitions and it won't so even to me they seem funny and ridiculous.

[freshslicepizza]

@Aenea
"But would you own a PS4 (Pro) if ALL games would be on PC? Since you already have a PC that can run Nioh better it seems likely you can run all games better on your PC which in turn would mean you will not have a need for a PS4 anymore."

then why do publishers like ea support both? there is a seperate market for consoles and the pc, always has been.

"Which then means Sony stops selling consoles, stops selling PS+ subscriptions, loses ton of income, closes first party studios, can't afford to finance games anymore and Nioh 2 will never get made........."

stop being so dramatic, sony would still sell consoles and their reliance on multiplat games shows how wrong you are. in fact sony has also invested one way or another in games like the new street fighter and no mans sky, both of which are also on the pc. of course they still want their staple games like horizon to push the ps4 and makes games dedeicated to that system but we are talking about team ninja and they are third party. sony is publishing it but they are did that for street fighter and no mans sky. did the ps4 all of the sudden lose sales becuase those games were on the pc?

what i see here is sony fans being overly possessive acting like this would hurt sony when in reality you guys keep buying multiplats on consoles then we also have quite a few on n4g saying microsoft is dumb to support the pc. the nonsense just never ends.

[moegooner88]

Everytime I check a review for a PS4 exclusive on a gaming site or Facebook comments section, I find numerous comments chastising Sony for not bringing their exclusives to PC. Just check the Jimquisition Nioh review comment section. Takes the word pathetic to a whole new level. Sony and Nintendo release consoles, do right by their fans, and make actual exclusives for them, just cause the "others" don't and give theirs the short end of the stick, doesn't mean Sony and N should as well.

[freshslicepizza]

did sony fund this game, if not then what the hell are you talking about?

"just cause the "others" don't and give theirs the short end of the stick, doesn't mean Sony and N should as well."

your reference to microsoft points to how dissilusioned some are. by bringing games to the pc it allows more freedom. such as not having to pay a subscription based model to play online. it also allows gamers to play within their budgets. that means people could in theory play this well beyond 60fps and 4k. its called choices and you rewarding locking consumers out is alarming.

i dont understand how you cannot enjoy your game on the ps4 without worying about how others may want to enjoy it.

[moegooner88]

I am speaking generally not about Nioh only. But keep crying perusual please. Your tears are delicious. Nom nom

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Not really, Most of these petitions are for Paid exclusives from third party devs by Sony. Its exactly what People were shaming MS for not too long ago. But its okay when Sony does it.

[trooper_]

moldy, it's called 'buying a PS4'.

[GTgamer]

@Big_Game_Hunters
You act like Sony took the Nioh it literally wouldn't of been made with Sony go do some research.

[DigitalRaptor]

@ moldybread

You are in an article about a PlayStation exclusive game trying to downplay something that you know full well is something that these gamers have valued for a long-ass time. Some of the most memorable exclusive games of the PS2 era were third-party exclusives and the only way those games are available to PC gamers are now through emulation many years later. Boo-frickin-hoo.

PC gamers could probably have played those games at HD resolutions at the time, and with better frame rates. The problem lies in those who have made an active choice to game on PC and nothing else, and didn't see this coming, with years upon years of notice. Not in those who value exclusive games on a piece of hardware that they invested hundreds of dollars into.

[mechlord]

S, N, M => S&M ..where has my mind gone to...

[GTgamer]

The PC masterrace always want console games smh.

[power of Black]

Please don't call them the master race when all they do is beg for console games.

[Sunny_D]

For being a master race, they sure do act like beggars.

[Whirlwind_Fanfare_08]

More like waaahhhsterrace because they always crying about how exclusives suck and should be bought to PC.

[MRMagoo123]

hey I'm a pc gamer but I'm not begging for ps4 exclusives , I'm buying a ps4 pro on Monday. I defend the ps4 often from the xbone trolls.

[MadLad]

Funny how there's equal levels of begging on both sides.
Be careful, GT. Your childish bias is showing :)

[Deadpooled]

The PC Mustard Race

[UCForce]

@SlapHappyJesus Nope. What he said is right. Exclusive Game sell console. The PS4 sales have been increasing significantly ever since. Thank to Exclusive game. You can see why Xbox One didn't sell well because MS made a mistake for turning their Xbox exclusive game into multiplatform game. Xbox One lost its own identity.

[GTgamer]

@slaphappyjesus
I've never wanted a pc only game so bad that I started a petition 😂😂😂 the thing about PC gamers Masterrace is that they think they deserve it but You all people like you do is bash consoles but when those console manufacturers fund amazing Gamed Yall want a Pc release Gtfo.

[starchild]

@GTgamer

Bullshit. How many PC gamers do you see bashing consoles in this article? None, or almost none. But there sure are a lot of console fanboys downplaying the PC and bashing PC gamers.

I'm a PC gamer and I don't go around bashing consoles. In fact, if you look at my comment history I have a lot of good things to say about consoles. Same goes for SlapHappyJesus. Can't say the same for most of you fanatics on this site, though, who on a constant basis bash every platform that isn't made by Sony. Pure hypocrisy.

[GTgamer]

@starchild
Soooooooo you represent the entire pc community :/ denial ain't just a river in Egypt my friend the pc masterrace are always ripping into consoles and it's tiring I can say allot about xbox fans but they literally never tried to tell Me what to buy unlike the Pc masterrace.

[StormLegend]

@Moldybread that's not how it works, having exclusives mean people will buy the console. If we did that then, why not all games come to PC?

[Ace_Pheonix]

I don't think PlayStation is generating any kind of crazy revenue off of hardware. They sell that little tech box for so cheap, I don't think it's about making money off the hardware. I'm sure they make a fair amount off of PS+ and console accessories, but primarily I think they're happy building a budget box to get as many people as they can buying up their software. Microsoft has realized this as well, and really selling your software on as many platforms as possible is the best route to take for a profit margin. They could even put it on their own launcher and publish that way to PC and still have the same gated yard that they currently have. They could even continue to resell games to you based on hardware specs if they really wanted to be awful.

[Bathyj]

No they don't make lots of money on hardware but the more hardware they sell, the more people buy the games. That's how the console business works. And by having exclusives it makes your console more attractive to customers. It's gives them a unique flavor.

Sony knows this. Nintendo know this. Microsoft doesn't know this. They used to. Why do you think they bought Bungie in the first place? People forget this. MS didn't make the first Halo. They bought the company that was already making it because they saw the potential of having it as an exclusive. It was going to be multiplatform at one point. It was even going to Mac.

And it's why they bought gears off Epic, why they pay for timed exclusives, $50m for two DLCs on GTAIV and Tombraider which both belong more on PlayStation than Xbox.

All Microsoft is doing is pouring more water into their jug of lemonade, trying to make enough to spread around for everyone to have a drink, thinking they can sell more cups. But the more they do the weaker it gets until the lemonade, and the console no longer has it's own flavor.

[maybelovehate]

Even though I have a PS4, I would love to have it on PC.

[Darkwatchman]

Just buy it on ps4 then?

I own a 3ds and vita and due to the awful screen resolution, there are certain games that don't make much use of the dual screens that I wish came to vita instead. Guess what I did? Stopped bitching and just got them on 3ds

[maybelovehate]

For those asking about buying it on PS4, I already did. But it is good enough I would love to play a better version on PC.

[starchild]

Your comment is perfectly sensible, but it gets downvoted to hell. A lot of the fanboys here are truly insane.

[UCForce]

You and @starchild need to understand that exclusive game sell console. See PS4 sales and Xbox One Sales, PS4 sales is increasing every months and keep getting bigger thank to exclusive. Xbox One sales is not so much. No wonder why MS didn't want to show it.

[MRMagoo123]

what's the point in consoles if there are no exclusives to go on them ? what makes them stand out and makes them sell ? those are the things you get disagrees for its not some bias thing like "starCHILD" would have you believe. I mainly game on pc but I'm getting a pro on Monday so I can play those exclusives , if they were on pc I wouldn't bother. Don't let idiots like him confuse you. exclusives matter and they always will.

[starchild]

@MRMagoo123

That's a red herring. Nobody is talking about putting Sony first party exclusives on PC. We're talking about putting a third party game on PC (in addition to PS4).

You make it sound like the ONLY reason people buy consoles is because the console makers artificially restrict certain games to them. If that were true what would be the point of consoles? If all people really would prefer to play those games on PC then Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo are being very anti-consumer by making games exclusive.

But of course that isn't the case. There are many reasons people choose to game on consoles. And even if Sony hypothetically put all of their exclusives on PC you would still see Sony consoles sell quite well. Because, again, there are a lot of reasons people choose to game on a platform. Some of you place way too much importance on exclusives. They are but one element out of several that lead someone to choose a certain platform. Even in that hypothetical situation the PS4 would still be the only console where you could play those games and you wouldn't see PS4 sales hurt nearly as bad as you assume.

But we're not even talking about Sony putting all of their games on PC. We're really talking about whether there's something wrong with someone wanting a current third party exclusive to come to their preferred platform. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It seems like a totally rational thing to me. But hey, maybe you guys can start a petition against more gamers getting to play it. Maybe send a few death threats. You're good at that.

Btw, I'm surprised that with all the shilling you've done for Sony over these past few years that you don't even own a PS4 yet. I've owned one since launch and I also upgraded to the Pro. I wonder why you don't hype up the PC or defend it when all of these fanboys are attacking the PC and PC gamers. About the best you can muster is to say "hey guys I'm a PC gamer, but I love and worship Sony as much as you. Screw those other PC gamers!"

[Ace_Pheonix]

I already have years ago, I'm not really wanting to play it so badly that I can't wait and end up having to pay for it twice. I much prefer buying games for hardware that doesn't have an expiration date printed on the box, and on hardware that runs software to the best of it's potential. I don't see why people find that stance to be so unreasonable. If the developers see the demand for PC, it could motivate them to do a little extra work to publish on it. 98% of console games are on PC as it is, 3rd party exclusivity is so rare these days.

[lelo2play]

Most of the times these petitions are worthless...

[showtimefolks]

Than we are told by pc gamers that they don't want our console exclusives

[Vegamyster]

The petition has less than 10k supporters, that's a very tiny portion of the user base and i'm betting most of those people aren't the rabid fanboy kind.

[MRMagoo123]

I am a pc gamer if I want an exclusive on a console I'll buy the console such as me buying the ps4 pro tomorrow which is Monday for me. Don't lump all pc gamers into the same barrel as the stupid ones like starchild thanks.

[DarXyde]

It really goes to show that people are missing the point of exclusives. Games are exclusive to encourage consumers to invest in a specific platform. It's why the platform holders bother paying for content. I would not rule out the possibility that Sony paid for Ni Oh's exclusivity, but it could also be a Japanese company looking out for a Japanese company. Ni-Oh appeals to Japanese consumers thanks to its difficulty, elements, and the fact that it can only be bought on PS4. Could be a move to encourage greater sales in Japan? Who really knows?

I digress. As I mentioned before, this may set a bad precedent. Eventually, the PS4 would be left without much in the way of exclusives. Why would Sony allow that? That would promote PC (which is not their platform) as the platform of choice. A capital reason why people buy PlayStation is the variety and wealth of titles. Microsoft emphasizes Windows 10, and it shows.

PC gamers don't have much of an argument here. They argued and petitioned to get Bloodborne which seemed silly to me. Sony helped to develop and publish that game, so of course it was likely to stay exclusive to PS4. Regardless, PC gamers found it "unfair" because From Software essentially blue-balled them by giving them Dark Souls and wanted in on the latest from them that follows in the same vein. Ni-Oh is not like From Software's Souls series in this way. Ni-Oh has no predecessors that should make PC gamers feel a level of entitlement to the game. Who knows, with its current popularity, it's certainly possible that the game will come to PC, but nevertheless, PC gamers don't have much of an argument.

[Overload]

Exactly, they are the ultimate port beggars.

[power of Black]

Khalina, you talk as if PS or console gamers don't get bashed as well. Don't give us this heart of gamer BS when every time a game exclusive to the PS4 comes out, the PC community goes flocking to the nearest thread/article begging for a port while at the same time bashing console gamers.

Really goes to show how useless your 'i7' or '1080Ti' really is doesn't it?

[Drizzy]

Real gamers don't bitch about a game on another console we just buy all of them and play what we want to. Screw this petition buy a ps4. If you can afford a gaming pc the ps4 is peanuts

[AuraAbjure]

They're still $250 used on craigslist

[Mr-Dude]

Pocked change for the MasterRace according to them..

[_-EDMIX-_]

As a gamer I own a gaming PC as well as a PlayStation 4 as I believe that should be the staple combo this generation.

I think my combo for a very long long number of years has actually always been a gaming PC , PlayStation and Nintendo handheld 😂

[XanderZane]

Well, not everyone wants to buy a PS4. Just like not everyone wants to buy an XB1. It would be nice if it was released on all platforms. Unfortunately 3rd party Japanese developers think that the only gaming platform on the planet is the PS4 right now and they are making a lot of exclusives for it. The game is excellent. I've been playing it since launch and can understand why other gamers who don't own an PS4 would want to play it. This is one of the reasons I own all the game consoles, so I get to play ALL the exclusives. If you love exclusive games, you should own the platform that those exclusives are on. It's that simple.

[joed2605]

I own a PS4 but I wouldn't play this game unless it came to PC. Nothing against the PS4 version I just prefer playing games on PC.

[XXanderXX]

But that would be a massive downgrade and why would they do that .

[UCForce]

It more than that. It will kill console.

[ONESHOTV2]

I already have one but I wouldn't buy it on the ps4 if I get the chance to buy it on steam I want my options like higher res higher settings maybe mods if some one feels like doing them.

[Takwin]

Seriously, I assume most of us are employed adults here. Get a nice gaming rig for over 50% of your gaming needs. And yes, a true gamer will want a PS4 Pro and a Switch. If you have some money kicking around, having a 3DS is cool too. Too many exclusives from Sony and Nintendo to pass up their products. Even if you ONLY play 10 exclusives total on a system, it is totally worth it. Play the rest on PC.

[Gatsu]

I agree ;D, it's not expensive anymore.

[Psychotica]

A lot of PC gamers have PS4's too. They just want it for their PC so it will look and perform better

[chrisx]

I thought it was PC Master race? This is nothing but dreams. You wanna play NIOH, Buy a PS4

[xPhearR3dx]

And what if you're like me that does have a PS4 and Nioh, but would 100% buy it again on PC for better graphics and frame rate?

[chrisx]

Get a PS4pro or wait for remastered on PS5

[Bathyj]

Then you're out of luck

[Rodney25]

It's already at 60 how much higher do you need it?

[neoandrew]

chrisx, why he would buy, a weak ps4 pro instead of a much better pc version if it existed

[Clunkyd]

PC gamers smh

[Sparta07]

😂 please!!!
Go get yourself a PRO

[xPhearR3dx]

@Bathyj

How am I out of luck? I own a PS4 and Nioh. I've been playing the game like crazy since release. I'm not the one begging or signing petitions for a PC version. But I'm certainly not against it because I don't care about your guys little console war you got going on. Why wouldn't I want to support the devs by buying their game again, but at the same time get to play at 1080p+ 60FPs, AA, and high res-textures compared to 720p 60FPS, no AA and lower res-textures?

[its_JEFF]

@neoandrew why would he buy a weak PS4 Pro instead of a more powerful PC... because maybe he's into gaming for the games and not for the amount of pixels and fps he can get?

I'm sorry but i sometimes think PC guys get way too caught up in pixel/frames counting. Call me crazy but don't you think it sounds a bit "entitled" for a PC guys to say "this game should be on my platform, cause that's where it would be best!" I'm gonna be honest.. that sounds like when someone says "Ugh... why is he/she with him/her?!? He/She could be with me instead!"

[power of Black]

neoandrew: Because having better hardware doesn't necessarily mean better games. Hence why these articles and petitions exist. Oh did I mention how toxic the PC gaming community can get?

[MadLad]

I believe it's called the repressed internet nerd community, and consists of those in the console community as well. Cheers :)

[power of Black]

Khalina: Because having a better hardware but lack of developer support is logical?

Also, each time an exclusive gets announced, it's always the PC crowd that begs, brags and trolls. You want a game? Fine, don't go begging. Get another platform.

Simple.

[Aloren]

You seem to ignore that consoles gamers asked for xcom 2 to come on consoles when it was announced only for the pc, or that consoles gamers also wanted Total War Warhammer or Star Wars the old republic , or arma, CivVI, on their consoles. This is nothing new, and nothing specific to PS4 games. N4G just has a very strong PS4 community.

[power of Black]

Aloren: Sure we asked(not to be confused with begged) for those games, but at the end of the day. Did we actually care? No. Because we have better games. Look at the petitions for those games you mentioned, some of them even failed to reach double or triple digits.

PC crowd is still the worse bunch, much worse than the Xbox fans.

[Aloren]

So.... A few hundred people out of many millions is not caring , but 5000 people out of many millions is "begging" ?

[Kiwi66]

What is that quote that gets used around here "i won't buy a console for one game" so why should someone spend hundreds to get to play it

[Inzo]

Hey hey hey hey............. come now, take it easy, its not PC gamers fault their platform only has tech demos posing as exclusives.

[Night99]

Dreams? This is not a Sony game it is pretty much just a matter of time when it will be on PC and we all will play it in 60fps 4k.

[Mr-Dude]

I always thought the Master Race had everything? They smear it in your face whenever they can, but everytime Sony releases a game, they are port-begging.

[ShadowWolf712]

Not just port begging. Port begging would be one thing, I don't begrudge people wanting a great game.

It's when they act entitled or get angry, offended, actually try to shame the developer and attack Sony for it that gets me. They did it for Horizon, too. Got pretty nasty and insistent about it in the comments of that petition. And this petition, too, has the same problem. "HOW DARE SONY!" "This game is too good to only be on console, the devs are stupid for not considering PC first." "I guess they want this to be a flop cuz console gaming is dying even if numbers rove that untrue", etc.

[nowitzki2004]

Only about 7,000 people signed it. Lets not act like all PC players are begging for it, a lot of PC gamers already have a consnole as well.

[DemonChicken]

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[Lamboomington]

Yeah, sorry, but you're all kind of stupid.

The vast majority of PC gamers are not going to port-beg, they aren't going to shame and attack developers for it. Just because a petition is started, doesn't mean the entire PC community is port begging.

This comment section is filled with ignorant, illogical and stupid comments. Enjoy your circlejerk though.

[Cobra951]

It's . . . wow. Nothing like seeing the rabid reactions to one practically meaningless petition to confirm the worst fears about who flocks to this site. Good thing that bubbles are gone on these boards, right?

[Liqu1d]

This petition is old. I signed it before it was announced that Sony was publishing it.

[zivtheawesome]

a ps4 is on sale now for 249$ and you even get uncharted 4 with it, just buy that please.

[TheOptimist]

Can I get it without Uncharted for more discounted price?

[guyman]

Stealth trolling score: 7.5/10

[Freedomland]

Yes, buy a used one.

[King_Lothric]

The "Master race" begging for Playstation games 😁

Buy a PS4!!!

[MRMagoo123]

I am 😒 tomorrow morning after I get my kids to school

[GameBoyColor]

( ^-^)b

[AcidDvl]

They should download an emulator LUL

[JohnM2000]

What? This game was announced years ago as a PS3 exclusive. Now its a PS4 exclusive. But Nioh is trademarked by Koei Tecmo, not sony. Sony is the publisher tho. It could be timed excluusive, I dont know. They are very unclear with this business.

[Majin-vegeta]

Maybe koei decided to keep it exclusive cuz it originally was suppose to release on Ps3.

[Majin-vegeta]

*LAUGHS*
*Goes back to.playing NI OH

[RAM0N]

Another petition is coming for horizon zero dawn just watch

[Mr-Dude]

I believe Sony has a 3 game exclusive deal with From Software... Read it somewhere sometime ago. If true, that's gonna be more petitions..

[nitus10]

@Mr-Dude

If you are looking at Playstation exclusive games made by "From Software" take a look at the following URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... In the list, not all games are exclusive such as the Dark Souls series although Demon's Souls and Bloodborne are.

The majority of games made by "From Software" are exclusive to the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 although the developers have made some exclusive games for other platforms such as "Lost Kingdoms 1 & 2" for the Gamecube, "Chromehounds" for the XBox360 and "Frame Gride" for the Dreamcast.

[Doopy]

They could put this game on UWP so xbox and pc gamers can play it. They are probably not a large studio and they can only make the ps4 version for now.

[ShadowKnight]

Not going to happen. If it comes to PC it will only be on Steam and GOG

[Doopy]

Why not UWP and get another audience for the game. Xbox One can now run UWP games. Should be a simple port

[ItMatters]

Why would they pass up the huge market on PC that Microsoft has ? Are you saying that they should give up free money ? I think It will show up on windows store eventually.

[ShadowKnight]

Just like Nier Automata and Street Fighter 5? Not going to happen. A matter of fact every PS4/PC exclusive is not on UWP. Keep dreaming fellas.

[RAM0N]

Or you could watch gameplay videos on YouTube or twitch

[ThatGuyDart]

Port beggary is pathetic and should be shunned

[ItMatters]

Why ? If Microsoft made Minecraft 2 an Xbox/Windows 10 exclusive for the first 5 years, I guarantee there's gonna be a lot of port begging.

[DigitalRaptor]

What would Minecraft 2 offer that Minecraft one can't, and that its DLC cannot provide?

[ItMatters]

A full persistent universe on the cloud.
Better graphics but same speedy physics would be amazing.
Your worlds transferred over and upgraded automatically.

[MRMagoo123]

you can do all that stuff with mods on pc with minecraft, there are hundreds of thousands if not millions of mods for minecraft now that change the game into pretty much anything. also cloud 😂

[TheOptimist]

How about anti-consumer-pro-business exclusivity be shunned?

[DragonDDark]

Nintendo too right?

[ShaunCameron]

No. Developers are free to make their games exclusive to any platform of their choice.

[bluefox755]

No...it results in a lot of games that would not happen otherwise.

[LoveSpuds]

Sony's track record of providing great exclusive content is the number 1 reason I buy Playstation consoles on release and why I love the Playstation brand.

While I don't get caught up in fanboy wars, I am more than happy that Sony provide fantastic exclusive content which grows the strength and success a platform that I hold dear; success breeds success in my opinion. Like others have said, want to play all these utterly incredible games, buy the console.

[StormLegend]

Lmao sad PC beggars! You see that having all of that power doesn't mean a thing. I buy consoles for the amazing games not the power, that's just a bonus if it's better.

[Allsystemgamer]

And I play on pc for the exclusives you can't get on any console, backwards compatibility going back to the 90s, more peripheral choice, WAY more games, much better performance, much better resolution, much cheaper games including AAA releases, mods, far superior sales, no pay for online etc etc etc.

Funny how you ALL chastise the pc players for wanting to play a game and then will turn around and beg for games like star citizen. The hypocrisy is insane.

Btw. I own ALL systems.

[Shakengandulf]

All that means shit if i prefer sonys offerings.

[MRMagoo123]

going back to the 70s you mean. I game exclusively on pc till Monday when I'm buying a ps4 pro but a lot of your pros for pc gaming really depends on your hardware and star citizen I have no interest in and that's if it ever releases anyway it seems to have been in development for ever, I can't imagine there is a strong want for it on console. most games I love on pc aren't very compatible with consoles either such as civilization or rts games.

exclusives matter , not all games can be on every platform otherwise all platforms would be irrelevant and cease to exist. They drive the sales for the hardware.

[Destiny1080]

I don't even now what pc gamers play, steam is a barren wasteland of indie titles

I guess they have csgo and the hope that star citizen will one day release

[ZaWarudo]

Nioh actually has a chance to come to PC, unlike Bloodborne which is funded and owned by Sony.

[fromchildren]

That is kinda true.
On a business perspective it can only benefit both the consumers and the devs because the audience are different and don't affect sales on either platform which translates to more sales and success for the game.

But on the perspective of PS4, the sales of the system will be slightly affected if an exclusive game or two gets released on PC, less sales of PS4 less benefit for Sony. And PC master race will go "hahahaha PS4 has no exclusives and not worth buying hahahaha"

[peewee11016]

It was published by sony and funded by sony buddy

[nitus10]

Nioh is developed by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo and Sony Interactive Entertainment, but I cannot find any mention of the game being funded by Sony.

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

It really should be on all systems. I'm not a big fan of 3rd party exclusives. It's the best game I've played in a long time and is what ANY gamer to have a chance to enjoy it not just a select group. Now with that being said if you really want to play Nioh I guess you're gunna need to buy a PS4.

[Chevalier]

Why? If it's not profitable and cost more to port and localize than what it would sell it's pointless. Cost versus benefit analysis. It's just business.

[TheCommentator]

You just described the benefit of UWP to a tee. Develop once, sell on multiple devices. It's just business.

[Chevalier]

@TheCommentator

" You just described the benefit of UWP to a tee. Develop once, sell on multiple devices. It's just business."

Some things just aren't though.

http://m.neogaf.com/showthr...

You don't have any better idea of the threshhold where something is or isn't worth it.

http://www.theinquirer.net/...

Apps like games have cost to port. If it's not going to make back the cost it doesn't make sense. Ease of porting doesn't mean there are no costs involved. So like I said, poor business is poor business. If it costs you say $200,000 to port something after QA testing and other things and you make say $50,000 in sales would you do it? No you would lose $150,000.

They have already saved money from Sony paying the publishing cost and for all we know it is exclusive based on the millions they saved from publishing and not having to pay for advertising.

[nitus10]

@TheCommentator

UWP is proprietary to Microsoft and any games developed for that initiative has to pay Microsoft a royalty.

You can develop for Microsoft Windows and not pay a royalty to Microsoft unless Microsoft has a hand in the development (eg funding) and/or publishing. Of course, the dealer such as GoG or Steam does get a cut from each sale but at least there isn't any monopoly like you would have with UWP.

As an example, I can't get games made for UWP to run on my Linux desktop unless I run a Microsoft Windows virtual machine or compatibility software such as Wine and this I refuse to do not because it's difficult (in fact it's easy) but because I won't.

Since you mentioned "Develop once" If a developer uses the open Vulkan API's instead of the proprietary DirectX API's they can develop once for just about any platform including Microsoft Windows and not be locked into the Windows ecosystem.

[Cohagen420]

Guess playing CS:GO in 4K is getting pretty boring..

[sullynathan]

Koei Tecmo could bring it on pc in Japan

[DragonDDark]

Published by Sony though

[C4rnos]

Nioh isn't published by Sony in Japan, full stop.

[power of Black]

When PC gaming is dead or a social stigma in Japan? Sure.

[starchild]

Is that why the PC has been getting a massive number of Japanese made games over the past few years?

More and more Japanese games are being released on the PC every day.

[power of Black]

PC still doesn't have Yakuza series or Persona series or Bloodborne.

And if you're all for Eroge games getting released daily, go for it. I hear there's a market there at least. Otherwise, what Japanese games have been released recently on PC? Also, what Japanese game was released yesterday and today? You got me intrigued.

[esmittystud101]

It's published by Sony. Name one Sony published game that made its way to PC.........there is none.

Exclusives sell consoles. If we didn't have it, who knows where the console industry would be today.

This is the question PC guys need to ask themselves. If there is so many exclusive console games that you want on PC.....why not buy a console?

Let me ask you this as well. What petitions do you see out there for a PC game to come to console??? There is none. Why? We buy the gaming system that best fits our gaming needs and realized that we do not need to be a part of the PC Master Race to have fun gaming. Maybe you should have done the same.

[ShadowWolf712]

Well, No Man's Sky...

[DragonDDark]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

[Kaneki-Ken]

PlayStation didn't published this rather marketing it.

[ShadowWolf712]

Really now? I was told time and again they were publishing on both.

[TheOptimist]

For 1-3 games, I sacrifice 100s if not 1000s of games? No thanks. But what's wrong in trying if there is a possibility of the game coming to the platform? I mean I ain't gonna buy a PS4 for that, and make it a coaster after playing Nioh and Horizon Zero Dawn. That's waste of money. Already have many games in the backlog, might as well finish them

[Chevalier]

Then you have your answer and are wasting everyone's time with your now pointless post. If it's not worth it then it won't be done plain and simple.

[Malice-Flare]

Helldivers. Sony published it on Steam...

Death Stranding is rumored to be published by Sony on PC...

[Majin-vegeta]

Except all mention of PC of Death stranding has been removed..

[C4rnos]

Maybe you should leave your petty squabbles at the door, no one takes pc master race seriously- and if you do you're just playing into the trolls' hands.

There are a few more recent Sony offerings on PC, Helldivers, Everybody's gone to the rapture for example.

The exclusive argument selling consoles is fair- but what's wrong with opening up the market after the majority of sales are made in the first 6 months/year? it's a fallacy that people think consoles compete with PC's, they don't- they compete against each other, most console gamers will stay console gamers because of brand loyalty and first party exclusives, third party ones are for the most part unnecessary really. it's just locking off games that could create a larger audience across all platforms.

There are plenty of PC to console game petitions too, guess you didn't see them because you're too far up Sony's backside to use a computer other than push your agenda and malice on here- gamers are gamers, and you can bet your bottom dollar the devs and publishers will take advantage of you in any way they can; be a consumer for consumers not a walking wallet as a lap dog to any one platform.

[ItMatters]

The game looks great, I wouldn't mind it on the Xbox or PC so I can play It on something I already own. It's not like Sony made it or a Sony studio, so it's very possible.

[MasterCornholio]

Sony didn't make Persona 5 either.

It all depends on the deal that Sony had with the developers of the game. It is possible that it's a permanent PS4 exclusive. But it's also possible that it might come to other platforms in the future.

Regardless as of this moment the only place to play this game is on the PS4. You can either play it on the PS4 now or wait and hope for a release on other platforms.

[KwokXi]

Doesn't seem like a good idea to release it on PC to let the thieves take it for free.

[PlatinumGX]

PC Beggars Race.

[opinionated]

Has a petition for multiplat ever worked? I'm honestly curious. Can anyone name an example?

[TheColbertinator]

Dark Souls if I remember right was petitioned for PC and Namco listened

http://www.gamesradar.com/d...

[opinionated]

Interesting. That's kinda different though. From software stated before the petition that if they got 90k sigs they would port it to PC. It's not the same as a petitioning a company that has no intention of porting.

[TheVigilanteCode]

The DS petition was started by the namco community manager himself to see if there is any interest in the game on PC. It got much attention and it was pitched to the board for approval.

This nioh petition is started by PC users themselves, like all the petitions they start for exclusives, which the developer/publisher doesn't give 2 shits about as usual.

[UCForce]

You talking about Demon Souls, right ? Dark Souls come to PC because community manager need to.

[N8]

Just buy a ps4

[OpenGL]

Petitions are pointless, if PC gamers wants console exclusive games they should buy a console or buy more releases at launch so publishers take notice.

[Killa78]

'we don't care about your console exclusives, we have thousands'

#Pcmasterrace

[Asuka]

I own a ps4, but i would like to play this on my PC for proper FOV, and 2560x1080p ultrawide resolution. Still gonna get it for ps4, but like the souls games i'll gladly buy it a second time on steam =p

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Same. I have Nioh on PS4 but I would definitely buy it on PC again. I don't know why so many here are upset by a petition.

[Asuka]

yeah idk why either. people here just feel like they need to defend their purchase i guess? yet i do not mean to offend anyone because i don't care what other people play on. I just want to be able to play games on the device of my choice, and my choice is PC when available. Not saying if you don't play on PC that you are losing out because whatever device you end up playing on is none of my business lol. I feel like most people read a comment about pc gaming and assume that my intention is to belittle, but im not xD

[LoveSpuds]

It's quite simple, the more high quality, desirable games Playstation keep exclusive the more reason people have to buy the system. The more popular the Playstation, the more software we will see from Sony.

It's not about fan boys, I don't care what other people are playing and where they play it, I do care that Playstation continues to be successful though, and exclusives help drive that success.

[Asuka]

@LoveSpuds

yeah that's true. But again i would just like to have the option is all. Not saying i would go as far as beg and sign a petition for game to release on another platform. If it comes to PC i'll get it there, if not then i won't obviously. i guess what really bothers me about being here on N4G lately (and i have been here since this was 3 different websites but N4G says 2006) is getting labeled a "pc elitist" for the mere mention of me preferring pc gaming. I just don't understand where this hostility is coming from as it hasn't always been here, and i've been a lurker for a long time here xD

[sin7279]

Im playing nioh on ps4 pro with 2560 x 1080p resolution on 55 tv

[TheColbertinator]

Nioh would find a better home on PC.

[guyman]

Ah whatever makes you sleep at night

[sin7279]

Better torent/s hahaha

[C4rnos]

I guess most people don't understand that Denuvo has been doing it's job up until recently- keeping pirates away from games long enough to force people to buy games rather than torrent, and the sales for games like this would rack up 2-6 million anyway- don't see the issue.

[GoodnessGreatness]

Even then these PC beggars are probably going to pirate these kinds of games anyway.

[ShaunCameron]

Exactly. Then they have the nerve to wonder why a lot of developers and publishers want nothing to do with the PC.

[riibhu]

ShaunCameron
CDPR says otherwise.

[Artemidorus]

Only if they give us PC exclusives in return.

[lodossrage]

You know, I'm going to get hate for this comment, but I don't care.

But the fact of the matter is PC elitists (not fans) like to call themselves the "master race". But for being a "master race", they sure do A LOT of begging.

Compare how many times you see PC games put up petitions for home system games to how many times home system gamers put up petitions for PC games. Makes you wonder who really is the "peasant" doesn't it?

[Allsystemgamer]

And I've seen just as many petitions for pc exclusives so what's your point?

[lodossrage]

First off, my point here is that PC elitist LOVE to call console gamers peasants, but they're quick to make a petition and beg for console games.

And as for as many PC exclusives being petitioned for, please name them.

I'll name the console games I know offhand that PC gamers petitioned for.

Street Fighter
Tekken
King of Fighters
Demon Souls
Dark Souls
Bloodborne
Nioh
Horizon Zero Dawn

Those are ones just off the top of my head. Ok, I shown some that I've seen. Your turn

[Shakengandulf]

Really??
Cant think of a single one actually..

[lodossrage]

@Shakengandulf

He's not going to list one because he can't do it without making up a situation like he did further down in this article with the Star Citizen situation

[corroios]

Just buy the console. Easy and cheap

[SynestheticRoar]

I detest when the PC community down play consoles. Then are reduce to beggary for a game. Engage in buying a console and regain your self-respect. I have both.

[nowitzki2004]

I have both as well so dont really care if it goes to PC or not. Would buy it for PC as well for the upgrade.

[Rodney25]

[Longshot810]

Can't just allow the ps4 to have this as an exclusive can they?

If I want a PC game, i buy it on pc and if my pc cant handle it I upgrade or get a new one. Ps4 isnt expensive , go get 1 . Pc master race act like money is no object, whats holding you up. Also when a company wants to bring a game to console they complain. Entitlement is helluva drug.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

PC beggar race back at it again lol

[_LarZen_]

A PS4 is so cheap today that if you want to play one of the many awesome exclusive games for the system. Then just buy it.

[ninsigma]

Petitions are largely useless. They won't change anything. I don't see a point anyway. You just have to accept that not all games will be on your system. It's like petitioning for halo to be on playstation. That'll never happen but that's ok. Before I had a pc, I got an xbox to be able to play halo, gears, SSO and ori and the blind forest. That's just how it works. Don't moan about it.

[riibhu]

You don't see anyone moaning about first party exclusive like uncharted or halo to come to pc. Only third party exclusive games which believe it or not have a chance of coming to PC.Just like dragon's dogma or dark souls, nioh will also come in a year or two to PC. And guess what devs don't care about stupid fanboys wars, they care about making money.

[ninsigma]

It's irrelevant whether it's first or third party. The point still stands that your system isn't going to have everything that's ever made so if you want to play specific titles, you gotta get the system they're on.

[riibhu]

@ninsigma
PC isn't going to get everything. That's the obvious fact buddy no one is denying that.
But the possibility of one game coming to PC can make this huge scene in console world tells something about the insecurity of fanboys in general.
This news shouldn't have made this much coverage you see port request all the time on PC there's nothing new about it. But the thing that this made so much buzz in N4G and then all ps4 fanboys going all out with their insults just shows the idiocy of the fanboys.

[leoms]

The thirst is real for the supossed master race.

[Ceaser9857361]

oh!! Master "petition" race :D

[Blu3_Berry]

It wouldn't surprise me if it came to PC. But who owns the IP? Sony or Koei Tecmo? If Tecmo, I could see em releasing it on PC down the line since they have been supporting PC lately.

[Majin-vegeta]

Teump owns it..but Sony published it.

[Chevalier]

Tecmo still owns the game. Pretty sure Sony is just publishing. It would depend on the deal between Sony and Tecmo Koei however and we don't got those details.

[riibhu]

In a year or two there's a chance Nioh will come to PC. It's like most of the exclusive games these days first release on console make huge money then release on PC a year or two later and again make money.

[FyBy]

If I have mario kart and Zelda on ps4 I would be super happy :-)

[PurpHerbison]

PS4 defense squad is out in full force. Some of the comments are very reasonable but are getting downvoted to hell.

[TKCMuzzer]

Why shouldn't people defend exclusives for their platform. It's what keeps the industry competitive and should encourage others to step up to the plate so supporters of their favourite platform are rewarded. I'm not a fan of 3rd party exclusives but one thing that can not be argued is that Sony support their platform and reward their customers by consistently providing software for the hardware they sell.
Plus have you ever thought the devs might not want it on PC? So thousands of people can play it without spending a dime, at least they will see some money back from the PS4 version.

[riibhu]

Why would devs not want their games to be available to mass audience? they are there to make money and if they think they will get money from Pc they will make it on PC. Just like namco bandai saw it in 2012 when they release dark souls on PC. and just like capcom saw it in 2016 when they released dragon's dogma on PC btw which became capcom's fastest selling game on PC.
All I see in the comment section are sony fanboys getting a chance to comeback at these people who take "masterrace" joke too seriously nothing more . There is no logical thinking just regular insults being thrown from here and there.

[trooper_]

Defending the right to have exclusives on their console? Going by your logic, maybe console gamers should start petitions for PC games too, or will you guys throw an uproar over that?

Exclusives define a platform. It makes you want to buy a platform over the other.

[feraldrgn]

"Unfortunately, since the game is a PS4 exclusive, only PlayStation gamers have been able to get in on the action"

That's the point of an exclusive, buy a PS4 to play the game.

[aaronaton]

Its not like the developer forgot about other platforms, this petition is really pathetic.

[sin7279]

Pc beging race!

[OneTuffCookie]

https://www.change.org/p/ko...

[Clunkyd]

You see how nice it is to have multiple platforms, don't blame them that you wasted your savings on a PC.

[ShaunCameron]

LMAO.

[Ravenor]

You can really how happy some of you are to type out "PC Beggar Race", Ooooooo we got one on those big mean PC guys now!

"Petition to bring Nioh to PC surfaces"

"Casey Explosion started this petition 6 months ago"

Gaems jurnalizm

[guyman]

"We got one on those big mean pc guys"

Lmao , right let's just conveniently forget there was a petition for bloodborne on pc as well (there was a lot of crying by the pc community over this) and I'm pretty sure there have been other petitions

[Ravenor]

I'm not disagreeing with you, we also both understand the how's and why's a Bloodborne petition was like pissing into the wind. I'm just pointing out the almost, gleeful comments and how this article is almost inciting it. Anyone petitioning a game company to do one thing or another really needs to evaluate how they spend their time.

"Petition to bring Nioh to PC surfaces" It's a 6 month old petition, this article was about as unnecessary as they get.

[Moe-Gunz]

Sony published... You're wasting your time people.

[Markusb33]

Can't see it when Sony is the publisher, get a used ps4 then play all Sony exclusive games

[Chaos_Order]

Wanting a port is fine, it's when PC gamers act like console manufacturers are evil and that their demands as gamers should be met out of principle, that's when I can't help but pity the poor entitled childish beggar.

When someone says "if you want to play it, buy a PS4," they are literally giving you a 100% solution to the problem of not being able to play. They are just giving you the objective facts. But so many people act as if saying this means we are literally whipping the knuckles of the developers and forcing them to stay away from PC while the devs scream in agony. Nobody is doing that. We're just telling you how things are in the realms of reality.

[BishopPeace]

Lol if this was about a nintendo game, everyone here would be on board with it coming to pc. instead they insist you buy an under powered pc instead.

[TKCMuzzer]

Under powered with great exclusives, so when you think about it, its probably the most powerful underpowered PC. ;)

[BishopPeace]

Nintendo still has better exclusives. The only combination that matters is ps4 and pc.

[dragonaught007]

If sony paid for the production of the game it most likely not happening same goes with death stranding since its using the decima engine and mark cerny under the helm of making the game thats definitely not coming to other systems....

[RAM0N]

What's next the Horizon zero dawn petition?

[sdplisken]

PC beggar race at its finest LMAO
Hey I'd be butt hurt too if I spent thousands and ps4 gets all the best games

[Phill-Spencer]

You sound butt hurt because you didn't want to buy an expensive gaming rig with top notch hardware and therefore can't play pc exclusives like wow, lol, team fortress and cs go in 8k and 5000 frames per seconds.^^

[MetalNCarnet]

Buy a PS4.

[OllieBoy]

This is so pathetic.

You know who I never see port-begging? PS4 owners.

[SamTheGamer]

Buy a PS4 then

[shauzy]

i prefer pc, but sony is killing it with killer exclusives, since nioh has solid 60fps on ps4, i say let it stay on ps4

[txboy05]

Hell Nawl to the Naw Naw Naw

[txboy05]

Xbone petition coming soon lmao

[ILostMyMind]

No. Buy a PS4 or go play something else.

[chelseapaul]

Exclusive means Exclusive... so much for PC superiority when their fanbase keeps begging for sonys exclusive games.

if you like what PS4 has to offer to its player base then go buy one yourself.

[SaveFerris]

Just goes to show that some games are so good, everyone wants them.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Hope the deva consider it so it can reach an even wider audience. I'll get it on my Pro!

[SolidDuck]

Translation. A group of pc players got together to bitch and moan, while I enjoy Nioh on my ps4. There are plenty of great pc only games, like Civ. Exclusives make each platform unique. Don't be cry babies.

[Phill-Spencer]

Well, suddenly there are boatloads of gamers who pretend to don't care about exclusives anymore. I wonder what happened?

Someone has to investigate this new phenomenon!

[Maxor]

No petition for the Xbox? They're the one who really need the games LOL. PC already have plenty.

[Darkfist_Flames]

LOL, i remember when that happened to bloodborne, dont worry guys just wait for the next dark souls xD.

[foxdie2k15]

The almighty pc race once again begging for a game thats only on a console platform and were the peasants

[DarkZane]

It's an IP owned by Sony so it's never releasing on PC. Sony only release games on PC if they don't own the IP.

[bluefox755]

Nah, come on, why would the "master race" be begging console peasants?

[Doge]

Seems like a lot of people are rooting for anti-consumerism for a 3rd party game. Considering how successful games like Dark Souls, Valkyria Chronicles and Dragon's Dogma were when they hit the PC, it's pretty foolish to not go after that market.

[SpinalRemains138]

Bloodborne and Demon's Souls had petitions too.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

I don't think people know what "PC master race" is.

[Merrill]

Fucking entitled PC gamer's as usual. Buy a PS4 for PS4 exclusive games, you babies.

PC gamer's would just steal, download the game for free anyway.

[PhoenixUp]

Let the port begging commence

http://wccftech.com/niohs-g...

[GezForce]

PC Beggar race are at it again... get a Pro to compliment your pc, problem solved ;)

[abra511]

the PC beggars race

[Phill-Spencer]

And this shows exactly why exclusives are important for a console. Even port beggars at one point have to decide if they want to play the exclusive games and therefore will have to buy the console or not be able to play the game he likes.

[MagicBeanz]

Someone should start a counter petition to keep it exclusive. You want to play it, buy a PlayStation.

[Lon3wolf]

Good idea, why don't you start it?

[MagicBeanz]

I like to think of the ideas and leave the implementation to others.

[Elda]

Sorry no just no! You want to play Nioh buy a PS4.

[MadLad]

When it comes to consoles gamers, it's all gimme-gimme if a solid, PC-focused title release.
Flip the roles, and it's nothing but begging, and demands of just buying the hardware to play.

The hypocrisy is comical.

[ShaunCameron]

Care to name those "solid, PC-focused" titles that console gamers cared about enough to make a petition for?

[Vkviz]

Get off your broke asses and buy a PS4. Developers don't owe you shit

[ShaunCameron]

They're not broke. They're just being cheap and entitled.

[richyque]

The just want to torrent the game then brag to us about the $500.00 GPU they have .

[SilverDemon]

Andrew house the head of SIE said that they made ps4pro to compete with PCs. So sony sees pc as another competition. Why do you expect sony to release games for their competitors?? Its no different than releasing for xbox one

[Shakengandulf]

Yes.. unlike Microsoft, sony wants to sell there hardware and make it look attractive for people that don't own one.
How are you doing that by splitting up the sales between a console and pc..

[Profchaos]

Because by selling it on pc nobody would need to buy a ps pro.

[Profchaos]

I'm pretty sure it's an exclusive permanently it's like the pc community screaming to bring uncharted 4 to pc won't be happening.

[Shakengandulf]

Oh i heard pc has millions of games.. guess they dont need this.

[Lon3wolf]

Need and want are 2 very different things...................

[Profchaos]

Although technically via remote play it's playable on pc haha

[SCW1982]

Sony published it. Not gonna happen

[zodiac909]

LOL first they petitioned for Bloodbourne now Nioh....the point of "EXCLUSIVE" is to get you to buy the console...give PC gamers a chance and everything would be multiplatform -.-

[The7Reaper]

Lol they wont cave and release the game on PC like Microsoft might as well give up on that pipe dream

[tywinlannister000]

This happened with Red Dead Redemption and probably with the second iteration this year as well.

[ZerobyZero]

Sony paid for the game to be made so I can only be played on PS4 is up to Sony if they want the game on pc

[JaXion5]

PC players are confusing, they shit on console players for having inferior graphics but then turn around and beg for their exclusives. Fucking hilarious.

[Kabaneri]

When has a petition ever had any real effect on anything?

[NEVMOR]

LOL!!

[Shakengandulf]

LOL!!!!!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Just like when they petitioned for Bloodborne to be on PC? How well did that go for you? :3

[richyque]

The begging race is at it again.

[audiocafe]

I'm really enjoying this game on my PS4 right now but as someone who plays on PC primarily of course I would have preferred to play it on PC. With that said it's still a fun game on PS4 and games like Nioh, Bloodborne, and soon to be Horizon Zero Dawn are the reasons I still keep my PS4. Playstation exclusives have always resonated with me more than any other console's exclusives.

[BIGBOSS08]

Its because of ps4 these games even exist.

[Rob_Ko]

master race on their knees begging for peasants scraps .... again

[Wallstreet37]

I hope PC gets to experience this lil gem. I can only imagine the cool mods that could be done.

[NecoTehSergal]

Fucking PC Beggars.

LOL WE'RE THE BEST WE HAVE ALL THE GAMES LOL STUPID CONSOLE PEASANTS.

*Console exclusive comes out that gets great ratings*

*Silently makes a petition, whining about how it should be on PC too cuz diversity*

[Gwiz]

Why waste your time waiting on something that Sony probably funded or helped developing?.
When it comes to PC it will,lol.I don't understand these petitions.

[DivineAssault]

Im no PC gamer but ill sign the petition... I think everyone should be able to enjoy this amazing title.. I doubt it will be bug free since its was developed specifically for the PS4 but its understandable that some people want to play certain games limited to certain consoles..

[ILostMyMind]

But everyone is able to enjoy this amazing title.

[DivineAssault]

Yeah, as long as they buy a PS4

[ShaunCameron]

@ DivineAssault

If that's what it takes to enjoy it, so be it. Nothing is stopping them from buying a PS4 except their pride.

[Allsystemgamer]

What I find absolutely astounding is this comment section. Pc players want to play a console exclusive? Damn pc beggars. Evil c*nts.

But when a petition arises to get say...star citizen it's nothing but praise from the console community to get the game.

The hypocrisy is absolutely astounding.

It's a f***ing plastic box you losers.

To those of you saying just buy a PS4, next time there's a pc exclusive, just stay silent. Or you're exactly the kind of person you bitch about.

[CaitSith]

I don't care for Star Citizen. PC beggar race can keep it. XDDDD

[Allsystemgamer]

And I don't care for nioh. So what is your point?

[ShaunCameron]

Too bad the amount of console gamers that care about Star Citizen pales in comparison to the amount of PC gamers that care about let's say.... Red Dead Redemption.

[winter_hill]

LOL 7 years later and they're still begging for it.

[Allsystemgamer]

Please provide a reason for bringing up red dead? A multi platform game with no reason not to be on pc?

You all need to learn what begging is.

[NecoTehSergal]

Never have I seen Console users or fanboys make a petition or really give a single fuck about Star Citizen....

You made a hypothetical situation and then use it as 'evidence' of hypocrisy? Are you a moron? You created a random example of a hypothetical, then literally made use of it as if it was Evidence or Fact.

No words can describe the amount of idiocy and logic-hopping that just happened.

[lodossrage]

@NecoTehSergal

Exactly

You don't see Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo gamers making petitions and moaning for PC games. It's the same point I made to Allsystemgamer further up in this thread. But PC gamers have made petitions over the years for the "peasants" games.

Tekken, Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Nioh, Horizon Zero Dawn, etc. Those are ones off the top of my head that have gotten petitions from PC gamers. And those are fact, not something I had to make up like this Star Citizen situation.

What he fails to realize in all this is the fact that nobody has a problem per se with PC games asking for console games. The problem lies in the fact that PC gamers are quick to try to belittle console gamers AND brag about their exclusives, but are even quicker to begger for the "peasants" games.

And for a final point, the PC can have all the exclusives in the world, but how many of them are considered "AAA"? If the PC audience had more "AAA" games, the constant begging would die down. For god sake, bragging about Star Citizen, a game that's still unfinished and has been taking money from backers for over 2 years and counting.......

[Allsystemgamer]

Actually there is a petition and numerous threads discussing having it come to consoles.

There are also threads about having games like civilization, star craft and many mmos and mobas coming to console.

Xcom 2 before it released on console.

Several games but you can all keep living in fantasy land.

Ffs googling this shit takes 2 seconds.

This entire website is an echo chamber of parrots. It's no wonder n4g is considered the cesspool of gaming websites.

The very fact you guys take the master race thing seriously is hilarious because it's a joke.

Keep worshiping your little plastic boxes.

[NecoTehSergal]

@lodossrage - I don't think Allsystemgamer can recover, he seems to have gone Full-Retard. He makes claims he can find little tiny forums with a handful of people wishing they had a game on PC - thus it equates to the hundreds of thousands that whine as badly as the PC Beggars. Interesting comparisons.

Little forums that are maybe a few pages in size..... versus Petitions that have thousands and thousands of signatures of beggars, who apparently can't afford a $299 console.

I also love, he's unable to really argue while presenting evidence, he just claims he's found these great sources to prove his point, and never provides links. Something tells me he didn't do anything that he claimed he did, and is just pulling shit out of his arse.

[lodossrage]

@Allsystemgamer

Tekken petition for pc

Demon Souls petition to pc

https://www.change.org/p/ba...

Gears of war 3 petition for PC

https://www.ipetitions.com/...

Anyone can put up threads from forums saying this, that, and the other. I just put up a few links for you. I'm not going to keep doing that for you.

You keep saying home system gamers put up petitions for several pc games. Then post them. I asked you to post these several before and you didn't. You're sitting here saying "googling takes 2 seconds". But why should WE google it? YOU are the one trying to defend your point, not us. YOU need to show proof ( just like I gave you three links), not us.

The general person doesn't take the "pc master race" comment seriously. But don't EVEN try to sit here and say PC Elitist don't because you know damn well you'd be lying.

And I like how when people present facts to you it becomes " Keep worshiping your little plastic boxes". Only fanboys make comments like that.

@NecoTehSergal -

Yeah, I'm about done putting my time and energy into this person. When you see someone starting to try to attack people with comments like "Keep worshiping your little plastic boxes", you know you've hit them where it hurts.

That wasn't my intention, but I'd rather have a sensible conversation rather than deal with people like Allsystemsgamer.

[BIGBOSS08]

Nerds. Your 300gb of ram ain't mean shit now.

[Tear111]

Loool, Master race has become master Petition

[masterfox]

So much for the so called "Master race", lol.

[Chinkyinc18]

8,000 signed the petition out of over 5 million Steam users...That's 0.2%. That means over 99% of users don't really care. Why y'all foaming at the teeth? This is why humans can't have nice things, y'all take any reason to talk shit. It's sad that such a small article has this much attention; guys are just as bad as conservatives and progressives going at it.

[riibhu]

Exactly! Even dark souls had above 54000 petitioners for namco bandai to take notice. This is nothing comapared to that.

[StrawberryDiesel420]

so the Dark Souls petition had a whopping 50,000 signatures which is also a small minority of the PC community yet that franchise sold millions on PC. Just because they don't sign a petition doesn't mean they wouldn't play it if it was available on PC. 8,000 gamers signed it because they recognize Nioh is a great action rpg that they wish they could experience. The Souls franchise is huge on PC because of that minority who started that petition, fool. Nioh could potentially end up the same way.

[Antnee534]

This I don't think has a chance at coming to pc. Sony helped make the game, not that is makes it impossible I just don't see it happening.

[TechnoGoat]

Calm down, they've already said a PC port is possible.

[Sokol]

Eh, honestly i own a decent gaming pc and I always had one console complementing the machine. Mostly PS1 to now PS4. When you can get a console for a less then above average video card upgrade there is no reason for pc gamer not to have ps4 attached to their gaming rig... That way you can enjoy the exclusives and Nioh.

[power of Black]

They have too much pride and apparently, PS4 has no games yet here they are.

[ajax17]

Kek. Buncha crybabies

[TheDivine]

I would have bought it on pc if I could. It would sell twice as much and still be a console exclusive. Team Ninja needs to bring this and Ninja Gaiden to pc.

Nioh is amazing either way but looks a bit crap on a launch Ps4. It also has crazy bad slowdown when effects go off. One boss dropped to 10 fps when the lightning effects go crazy. Still adore the game. Its everything I loved about NG Black and Souls all in one game.

[tawak]

master race ego doesnt permit to buy peasant console machine.. but its ok to beg for ports..lol

[MeteorPanda]

why so the player base can be 60% pirate and 40% bought on a steam sale for 7 dollars? No. l hope it doesn't.

[Masta Kaos]

So the superior PC can't play NIOH without a petition? I thought PC can play anything....

[Jon_Targaryen]

Pay $1000's on PC parts but wont $200 or cheaper second hand for a console...

[YAO-BLING]

sorry pc nerds, get the beaststation 4

[Night99]

This game sure will be on PC sooner or later I am looking forward to play it in max settings 60fps 4k resolution.

[MasterCornholio]

After reading the comment section I see many people jealous of the PS4 having this game. I also see people who are hurting inside because of this current exclusivity to the system.

People this is why exclusives exists.

Having a ton of must have exclusives can drive even the biggest haters to buy a PS4. Deep down they know they really want to play the game but the only thing stopping them is not owning a console.

As a long time gamer this feeling is quite normal to have with great exclusives that you can't play. Thanfulky there's a very easy solution to this problem.

Just buy a PS4

Or you can wait and hope for a release on another platform. Something that might never come.

P.S

I'm a big insomniac fan so I already went through this with SSO. Luckily Insomniac delivered an excellent R@C game plus we have Spiderman coming from them in the future.

While I personally believe that the more platforms a game is available on the better, sometimes exclusives need to exist.

Edit: As a side note I'll be buying a gaming PC to gain access to those PC exclusives/Xbox games that I've been missing out on.

[MultiConsoleGamer]

Not actually started by PC gamers. Sad!

[Einhander1971]

This is why I'm never interested in PC gaming, consoles have the games I want to play uncharted, God of war etc.The list goes on and on, the PC master race likes to ramble on about how powerful there system is. But in truth power means nothing without games, that's why they are butt hurt and crying they don't have nioh. Get over it buy a PS4, I don't care if it could look better on your over priced PC. LOL

[acekaze]

As a guy who owns a pc and a ps4, I gota tell you, I NEVER wasted so much money in my life has I have in my ps4, seriously, brand new games for 50-60 euros each its insane, I get brand new launch games on pc for 30 euros, let me give you some recent exemples:

I bought recently on ps4, Kingdom hearts 2.8 for 50 euros, Nioh for 52€, Final fantasy XV for 55€

I bought on pc on release day, Titanfall 2 30€, Battlefield 1 for 35€, Dragonball xenoverse 2 for 30€.

And this is without mentioning the fact I get so many good deals all around in webpages like HumbleBundle, i Got Xcom 2 , Ryse and another 5-6 games last month for 10 euros, I got this month Total war warhammer and another 5-6 extra games i dont know what they are for another 10 euros, PC is expensive to get, but its way cheaper on the long run.

( Edit : Lets not mention the PS Plus which i cant even play online on PS4 without it, and it just keeps giving me me games I own already)

[PrinceOfAnger]

Exclusive games sell consoles "
Well ,black ops 3 has sold 14m on ps4 and 8m on Xbox one and guess what ? it's not exclusive , so no people don't buy a console just for exclusive's.!

[ninsigma]

No one said people buy just for exclusives. It's pretty well known that it's the multiplats that sell the best. However, it's the exclusives that make people decide which machine they want to play on or even buy a 2nd machine to just play those exclusives while playing multiplats on their preferred machine.

[Dragonscale]

@above, they'll have to if they wanna play Nioh and what has cod got to do with anything?

[Dragonscale]

Apparently Sony released the Pro to try to discourage people migrating to pc. So why the hell would they release Nioh or any other PS4 exclusive on pc? They wouldn't.

Nioh will NEVER be on any other platform. Cry harder lol.

[Doge]

Here's the thing that many are not realizing. Nioh isn't a Sony IP. It wasn't developed by a Sony studio. Its development wasn't funded by Sony, and the only part Sony played with the game itself is publishing it outside of Japan.

This isn't like Bayonetta 2 (remember the backlash behind that?) or Street Fighter V (which was funded by Sony but also got a PC release). This is similar to Ryse, Alan Wake, Quantum Break (Steam), Dead Rising 3 and 4 (Soon on Steam). The IP owner decides whether or not they want it on a different platform, and as of right now, Team Ninja stated that they have no current plans. They did not outright claim that it's impossible or that it's Sony's call. A demand is there, hence why the petition was created months ago.

If you want to play ignorance on this topic, then go ahead. But if Koei Tecmo see a large demand for Nioh on PC and deliver (which will net them a large chunk of money considering how popular the Souls series is on PC), I expect you to eat crow.

It's pathetic how a large amount of people are calling PC gamers port beggars here, when they themselves threw tantrums when Microsoft or Nintendo announced 3rd party exclusives (timed and permanent) and sent developers death threats. Never forget that.

[Dragonscale]

Its published by Sony. End of.

[Doge]

Published by Sony doesn't mean jack. Helldivers and Everybody's Gone To The Rapture were also published by Sony and look at them now.

[OffirYehezkel]

They should talk to Natalie Portman or move to live in Portland.

....

I'll see myself out...

[Gravesinger_]

Uhhh PCMR guy here, and this is much ado about nothing. 5000 people hardly makes up the PCMR, so y'all can quit pumping yourselves up. I own a P$4 and will be playing this and Horizon Zero Dawn on it, and when I'm done...it will go right back on the shelf, next to the other lil consoles.

[acekaze]

The Comments in this article are a joke, "Buy A PS4!!!", "I tought they were pc master race!! AHAHA".

This comes from a guy who plays both pc and ps4, and Yes I got NIOH, if you even bothered to open the petition you will see by the time I wrote this, the petition has less than 10k signatures, this is like 0,01% of pc population and yes I am taking this numbers out of my ass, but basicly this is a drop of water in an Ocean, most pc players dont give 2 shits about console exclusives, and those who do Like i did, will simply buy a ps4, the article is an information about it existing, and a shitload of you guys just come here feeling superior, mocking and trowing a whole bunch of personal atacks on other gaming communities,

IF you arent interested in this petition MOVE FORWARD and stop commenting, I sign it up, because well, the more people playing the game the better but jesus, stop coming here to comment ridiculous shit.

[StrawberryDiesel420]

Really? So what percent of the bustling PC community signed the petition to get Dark Souls? 0.5% or so but it was ultimately worth it for the rest of you ghouls now wasn't it? And I can guarantee it would be the same if you could possibly ever have gotten Bloodborne or Nioh.

[acekaze]

I am not saying Its bad at any percentage of pc players to make a petition, I am saying its ridiculous people are complaining about PC players making a petition, if this petition doesnt interest them, or they arent even interested in pc gaming, why the heck do they even open this article and comment?

In the end, ps4, pcs, xboxs, we are all gamers, Why do people feel a constant need to reafirm they have the "best platform" ? Even if 100% of pc players were asking for NIOH to join the pc platform, I still feel like console players have no right to be picking on it.

PC gamers missed the two best action rpg's every created with Bloodborne and Nioh. Those two games are worth the price of admission of the PS4 alone. I honestly can't imagine being a gamer and not having the opportunity to play those two games. That must suck. Not to mention other exclusives like Uncharted 4, Horizon Zero Dawn and the new God of War. These fools have no problem spending five hundred dollars to get higher resolution but won't spend half that to own a console that has some of the best games around.

You do realize PC gamers can own PS4's too? Most PC gamers aren't little kids waiting for their mom & dad to buy stuff for them.

A lot of you guys on this site are like a hivemind. You just repeat the same exact comment over and over again no matter how illogical or nonsensical it is.

You still don't get it, this is not about not owning a PS4. If you read above, the guy who started this petition already owns a PS4. I would bet many of those that signed the petition already have a PS4 as well. And of those that don't have a PS4 maybe it's because nothing else on the PS4 has interested them. In that situation why would they want to buy a console for one game? Or even a couple games?

Either way, there's nothing wrong with wanting more good games on your platform. If you guys actually did game on PC you would understand why people want to play games on the PC when at all possible.

In any case, only 8,000 people signed the petition, which is a super tiny fraction of tens of millions of people that game on PC. But that doesn't stop the fanboys here from heaping insults at PC gamers. As if there is anything wrong in the first place with someone letting their voice be heard regarding a game they like hopefully getting a release on the platform they prefer.

"Either way, there's nothing wrong with wanting more good games on your platform. If you guys actually did game on PC you would understand why people want to play games on the PC when at all possible."

E.g. there's nothing wrong with wanting Corolla's reliability for my Mercedes Benz. My friends make fun of me for spending thousands on maintenance but hey know, I made that decision and I've got to stick with it.

Back on topic, PC gaming ain't that great. Wasted thousands of hours on games like SC2/DOTA2/CSGO and I can't play a single game without someone getting salty. Meanwhile, I can play a few matches on Overwatch or BF1 on PS4 and have a awesome experience because I don't get flamed or have childish adults screaming at my ears. It's sure not worth the better graphics, framerates, mod support and most of all my sanity.

So don't you see the massive flaw in your argument? Competition is good and is here to stay no matter what industry.

Get a PS4 PRO and enjoy it along with all of the great Sony games available.

[snoopgg]

Hey master race this is a console game. You can't always have it all.

[Saranya]

Bring it to PC for better sales.

[Reefskye]

Lol so much hate from a petition that got 8,000 signatures, Shows what this site really is and what type of person its filled with, Children

[NohansenBoy]

Why do people get so mad at others wanting exclusives that are on consoles? It's like exclusives are the only reason to own a console or something...

[Mr-Writer]

That's fair enough, but only if those who have signed the petition also sign ones asking for games currently exclusive to PC on consoles...

I mean if your against exclusives you got to be against PC exclusives.

I doubt they do.

[Seafort]

I won't be buying a PS4 just for one game. I'm currently watching a blind play through of Nioh on youtube so I won't be buying it if it does come to PC in the future. Win win for me :) Don't have to buy the console don't have to buy the game.

I've seen many people on consoles begging for PC games as well. Currently it's PS4 gamers begging for Conan Exiles (which I'm currently playing on PC) even though Sony doesn't support early access games.

Oxygen Not Included alpha by Klei Entertainment is being released on 15th Feb for exclusively for PC for now. Many of you won't know what the hell it is but it's by the devs of Shank, Mark of the Ninja and Don't Starve.

It's up to the developers and platform holders if they want games to be exclusive or not and limit their player base to one platform. I personally couldn't give a crap if a game comes from console to PC or not. We have so many games coming to PC every single week it's hard to choose what to buy and what to play at any one time.

A single game coming to console is just a blip on the radar for PC gamers nowadays.

[redaxis]

It's funny how PC only gamers always insult the poorman's console then they ask for the exclusives...
