Stellar Blade for PC

[Rottytops64]

I know that the South Korean community is more focused on PCs, and Stellar Blade is made by a Korean company, and I would really like to play that game on PC.

A company can't own a product if they don't own the maker of it.

Where did you hear that doozy of incorrect information from? You've never heard of the concept of contracting out to third parties? All a company needs to have to own whatever thing it is, is the IP rights to that thing. Or to boil it down to gaming, Sony don't own From Software, but Bloodborne is Sony's IP.

I know this one here is wrong precisely because I am a big fan of the two Dark Cloud games. The dude in charge of making them said in an interview that people have to go ask Sony, not Level 5, for a sequel or port. Because they don't own the rights. Sony also has the rights to Demon's Souls. It's why Fromsoft just chose to make Dark Souls as a spiritual successor instead.

Seems Sony made a lot of deals for PS2-3 games where the developers got something from Sony (maybe they waived the 30% royalties or gave them funding). And Sony partially or fully owned the IP in return. Sony isn't the only one that does this. Nintendo contracts work out to third party developers all the time where they'd still be the IP owners. CyberConnect was going to do Metroid Prime 4. Rare did a bunch of Donkey Kong games and a Starfox game. Nintendo would own all of those things even though they don't own those companies.

Either way Sony doesn't own Stellar Blade. Shift-Up and Sony made a contract so the PS5 can have a timed exclusive just like Square Enix does for the Final Fantasy games. Sony doesn't own the Final Fantasy games either. Shift-Up never once said in an interview go ask Sony for a sequel. Shift-Up just said that they're interested in making one. Sony has no say on if Stellar Blade comes to Xbox or not just like Sony has no say on if the Final Fantasy games go to Xbox or not.

But could they lock it on PC like they did for GoT or Helldrivers 2 I literally got my pre-order for Ghosts of Tsushima months for Steam refunded because of their PSN policy and I can not buy God of War Ragnarok.. I live in Serbia and I like Horizon Zero Dawn games.... Horizon Zero West was last that I got before they got that PSN agenda now I can not get any that require PSN because we HAVE NO PSN here..... and I really would like to play Stellar Blade I mean I had no option for Concord though I have no regret for that :)

Santa Monica Studios(God of War series dev) is fully owned by Sony and is a PlayStation Games studio just like Insomniac(Spider-Man Game series dev) and Guerilla Games(Horizon Game series dev) and Sucker Punch(Ghost of Tsushima dev). Those are what's called first party devs. So yes first party devs for Sony will mandatory have PSN integration in them. But look at the Final Fantasy games those didn't have PSN integration in them. Shift-Up is in the same boat as Square Enix so more than likely Stellar Blade will not have PSN integration in it. Square Enix just decided not to put the mainline Final Fantasy games on Xbox except their mmorpg. Sony had no say on if the Final Fantasy games went on Xbox or not only Square Enix did.

There's no profit to be gained from putting games on a dieing console which the Xbox console is a dieing console.

If Sony are the publisher for the PC release, they could enforce their PSN requirements. But this all depends on who the publisher for the PC release will be. We'll just have to wait and see who the publisher will be.

Now that I can agree with. We'll just have to hope Shift-Up publishes their own pc release like Square Enix does for the Final Fantasy games. But unfortunately if it won't have the PSN crap then it'll have that other drm crap aka Denuvo.

I do hope you are right for Stellar blade but I am sad for Horizon games because I really like that franchise no matter that they uglify Aloy but still it is stupid from Sony to kill loads of part of market that not only has no PSN but for games that are only single player or have only small parts or no multiplayer or coop but mostly sungle player...
But still they are cutting off huge part of market... we litterally had Helldriver 2 as game of month in Computer magazine and now no one can play it on computer...

Apparently, a film production company called "Stellarblade" is suing Sony for the rights to the name "Stellar Blade" and anything similar. Interesting development. Might force a name change if Sony loses.

I have a feeling we will get the game on steam May 2025 .

Unless they are involved in the video game space, that production company isn't going to win. A popular game out ranking their internet searches isn't enough reason for Sony /Shift Up to be forced to change the name.

I'll remind people of a similar example: Logitech is called Logicool in Japan. They couldn't have the Logitech name because a smaller Japanese company also involved in the same field existed prior to Logitech in the region.

Hadn't noticed it was a console exclusive... so it's a Sony title? It will come eventually.
