Some additional tidbits from Jims Interview.
"What about PlayStation games on PC?"
"A whole slate of them is on the way starting with Days Gone this spring."
" Firstly, in terms of the straightforward success of the activity of publishing the game on PC, people liked it and they bought it. We also looked at it through the lens of what the PlayStation community thought about it. There was no massive adverse reaction to it." "The cost of making games goes up with each cycle, as the calibre of the IP has improved. Also, our ease of making it available to non-console owners has grown. So it’s a fairly straightforward decision"

Sounds like they are really committed to porting games to PC!

Great news! The more games that come, the better for us, gamers.
I have to say i'm surprised no one has made a thread about it yet, either someone from the SOny camp to bash Jim Ryan and this new strategy or someone from the MSoft camp to laugh at Sony and claiming that they're copying the strategy MSoft started a while ago.

A change of studio is never a good thing. Let's hope for the best but yeah, it doesn't bode well for the game. HoloDust said:
Not unexpected. All they had to do is honor the original and improve on some of its flaws, but my guess is they decided mid development they want to appeal to mainstream and fucked up everything in the process... |
It's published by Paradox, the king of DLCs. Maybe they wanted to change the game to make room for the dozen of DLCs their games have and the studio didn't know how to do it without launching a clearly unfinished game. |
That ^ Also, I think it's not impossible that they realized that under 5th edition rules, much of what was Bloodlines would be impossible without breaking the new rules in major ways. 5th edition of V:TM is much more unforgiving and the increases in power much lower compared to previous editions, also the hunger is much, much greater than it was before. Would they stick to the core rules, then Bloodlines 2 would be more akin to a survival horror game with a constant need to hide and feed. |
That's not a bad theme for a game, to be honest, and, if done right, it could still sell a lot.
