I think Sony paid for it to be though.

Anyway, I suspect the game will run like shit on a non pro model and may even struggle on a pro model.

I ended up just waiting for FFXV to be released on steam since that's what happened with this one, so I'll probably do the same for the remake.

We knew it was a timed exclusive when it was announced.

So not only is the remake split between multi-disc'd parts... and Square doesn't even know how many parts it's going to end up being... there's also a limited time window when it can actually be bought...?

This seems dumber every time I hear something new about it.

Are people really that dense?

This has been known since the 2015 trailer.

I am curious, if you don't work for Sony what benefit does restricting other gamers ability to play this have for you personally? I say this as someone who would probably get the PS4 version either way (I want the cool physical Collector's Edition they are putting out).

This is mostly because they wanted to focus on one platform to not stretch thin Dev/QA resources.

That's not true this generation. Porting is extremely simple because the hardware is largely the same.

The hardware was never the issue. You have to integrate a ton of different console services and features. All the games are written on PCs and always have been. The same code compiles to different hardware using different compilers.

Of course now it's all x86 so the only difference is they can use the same compiler for all of them.

I think the fatty check Sony wrote for timed exclusivity was probably more of a factor here. Preorders are already set and it hasn't even been officially announced that it's coming to other consoles yet.

It was massively the issue last generation with the PS3. It was extremely hard to program for.

It was "extremely hard" to use the stupid ass cell features which would not work on other CPUs. Most games never actually used them. MGS4 was one of the main ones that did which is why it was never ported. Others never used anything Cell-specific and then they just never told you otherwise.

Which is why a lot of PS3 ports of 360 games ended up being garbage (say Bayonetta).

Yes but the main consequence is that despite the alleged difference in hardware power PS3 games almost never looked meaningfully different on 360.

Rather than actually try to use the power, devs coded for easiest to port and left a lot of power unused on the PS3 so that the code differences were as little as possible.

The bulk of porting time was spent implementing service proprietary features. Things like custom Soundtracks on 360 or various network integrations.

That's always been the case. Still a bullshit move, though. It's not a competition when you can literally buy your exclusivity.
