[Mister Wolf]

We all know it's coming. Sony likes PC money now.

 

[ReBurn]

Glad to see the game doing so well

 

[BennyBlanco]

The mods are gonna be wild

 

[Kataploom]

Well, actual news to me are that it's not in production or about to release or something like that

 

[GHG]

Glad to see the game has done well for them.

 

[Fake]

Good. New IPs in case Sony forgot what this is.

 

[ssringo]

under consideration

The only consideration is when to release it.

 

[Skifi28]

Maybe now that we know it sells, other studios can attempt to steer away from stupid social commentary nobody asked for and instead make something attractive and over the top

 

[Mortisfacio]

Nexusmods will leave up all the very adult mods and ban the first person who brings back the Hard R shop.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm sure they will. Everyone in Korea plays on PC.

 

[nial]

Fantastic results for Shift Up Second Eve.

 

[Kurotri]

Considering? Guess it's further out than I thought..

 

[Pedro Motta]

But GAF told me the game is boring and the levels are PS3 level.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

PC version seems like a no-brainer. I want to play the game but I sold my PS5 a while ago.

 

[midnightAI]

I don't see any mention of PC for Stellar Blade? (I'm sure it will come)

[Spukc]

This game is fucking 79 euro’s

Considering? Guess it's further out than I thought..

It will take 2 years like other PS5 first-party games like Returnal and Horizon Forbidden West.
I was under the impression that after Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Returnal, SIE would only start porting the big AAA games, hence why Stellar Blade might just be under consideration.
Also, unless Shift Up made a Kojipro-type of deal like with Death Stranding (developer gets the PC/mobile publishing rights), this is 100% being released by PlayStation PC LLC.

 

[MrRibeye]

It's so easy to predict the future

Shift Up will give us badass sexy Codename Witches with stylish lingerie witches like in the X360 classic game Bullet Witch

And around the same time Ubisoft gives us Assassin's Creed Hexe except that they haven't told us yet why we're going to facepalm and laugh about the main character

 

[mrcroket]

it seems that the time between game releases is getting shorter and shorter, before it was just old games, then day one service games, now it's a single player game that has just been released and is being "considered"....

We all know what that means right?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

so?

This game is fucking 79 euro’s

so?

Lol, it's true. Where did he get the part of SB being considered for PC?

 

[Evolved1]

i would love a game from them that's literally about witches. i even think that is actually a good name lol.

 

[Xyphie]

I'd expect the release date for it (and Rise of the Ronin) to be more in-line with Nioh 1/2 and Death Stranding so ~1 year tops.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

I completed Stellar Blade just last night. Overall it was fantastic - it receives a well earned 9/10 from me. With that being said, I was still a little hesitant to give my full approval until the final 3rd of the game. Looking back, I have no idea what I was thinking as the game was an absolute banger... towards the end it became nothing short of spectacular! Stellar Blade sort of pulls you in over time and does a remarkable job of pacing content in just the right way. It builds and builds and builds. The set pieces became more magnificent, the combat evolves to become more and more satisfying and in-depth, the bosses more incredible, the scale and scope more remarkable. It pushes everything way further than you ever expect.

I'm normally a completionist but I just powered through past the point of no return as I was enjoying the game so much. I'm gonna move on to something else but after a while I'll be back once again for new game +. For anyone on the fence I heartily recommend!

 

[nial]

Death Stranding was a particular situation, and Sony didn't have anything to do with Nioh 1 and 2 in terms of production and publishing (outside of the West).

 

[Aenima]

We all know it's coming. Sony likes PC money now.

I doubt Sony will be the publisher of the PC version. Sony dosent own the IP, findind a publisher for PC is most likely on ShiftUp hands. Same deal as Nioh.

 

[Self_Destructive]

They don't say it's being considered.. they say it's in development.. lol

In a securities filing disclosed on the same day, Shift Up said that it is developing a major new subculture (Japanese anime-style) cross-platform game 'Project Witches' with the goal of launching in 2027.

In addition, the PC version of "Stellar Blade", which was introduced last month, and a sequel are also in development.

 

[nikos]

Will buy day one on PC.

 

[DavidGzz]

Not good enough to be a double dip game so I'm waiting for the inevitable PC version where none of the outfits are censored.

 

[brock sexy lesnar]

We all know it's coming. Sony likes PC money now.

Sony owns Stellar blade IP?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

This game is fucking 79 euro’s

Worth every penny

 

[Aenima]

Sony owns Stellar blade IP?

No.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Give it to me.

 

[Ozriel]

We all know it's coming. Sony likes PC money now.

ShiftUp owns the IP, and I’d be very surprised if they weren’t the ones publishing it on PC themselves.

 

[demigod]

Duh, of course it’s coming. Probably next year.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Sales of Stellar Blade are "exceeding expectations".

I'm sorry, but I had to.

Worth every penny

I heard that you can get even better and more realistic experience for free and it's just two clicks away.

 

[OverHeat]

 

[Kataploom]

BTW, on PC you can play with mods and whatever controller, even a custom one... that could be used with one hand...

 

[Forsythia]

Yeah, we need a pc version. Imagine the mods

 

[ChoosableOne]

But GAF told me the game is boring and the levels are PS3 level.

Are we hanging out in the same forum?

 

[Hugare]

"Codename Witches"

You just know they will double down on the hot waifus

 

[Guilty_AI]

Do it for the mods

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Not gonna lie. Pretty excited for some sexy witches.

 

[ahtlas7]

Hurry up and make my PC happy!

 

[Punished Miku]

Not gonna lie. Pretty excited for some sexy witches.

I'm down for anything they're doing next. Just hope it's not as based on Souls games. Either way, this studio will just keep improving.

 

[Buggy Loop]

The mods are gonna be wild

Ooohhhh yeah

 

[Madonis]

Good news, I suppose. I'd still rather see Unicorn Overlord on PC, but sometimes you can't have everything in life.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Are we hanging out in the same forum?

Aw yeah baby. What is GAF without its cringe.

Stellar Blade’s environments are boring and out of a PS3 era game. The game sold itself on the main character.

Stellar Blade is boring. This you kind of know what you’re getting if you’ve played the first game. Too many people didn’t and are expecting it to be something it’s not.

 

[Dazraell]

But GAF told me the game is boring and the levels are PS3 level.

I love this already became a meme lol
