I bought a playstation console almost every generation so it's certainly not my first Sony Game ever but I did buy God of War on PC so it's my first Sony game on PC after Horizon Zero Dawn came out as a shat port initially.

As an owner of PS5 who has PSPlus thus can play God of War through PS+ Collection, I am glad I am playing it on PC. The checker-board rendering that the PS5 uses due to it being on BC mode is like night and day difference when you compare it to DLSS on PC and how much better DLSS is. And of course, the increase framerate and visuals is also a nice treat. I am also playing with the Dual Sense which works perfectly on PC.

What I would like to know is when are the PC improvements coming to PS5 with these older games? Horizon Zero Dawn has been out for some time on PC and it's been over a year since PS5 launched yet afaik, the only thing Horizon Zero Dawn got was a 60fps patch. I really hope Sony doesn't plan of leaving the PC improvements exclusively on PC...

There is no PS5 version of HZD or GOW, the improvements on the PC cannot be done without there being a PS5 version.

That's true but that's why I am wondering if they will get around to making one and maybe charge a small upgrade fee to the current owners. With the next iterations of Horizon and God Of War coming soon on PS5, it would be a nice treat if they could get rid of checkerboarding and either run it at native or use their newer upscaling technologies like they did in Spiderman along with visual improvements.

Yep, it is odd for them to leave PC with a much better version than their own platform.

Enjoy, it is a solid game. And they’ll continue to put their games on PC and you won’t have to worry about their hardware or controller.

Yeah no need to worry about their evil hardware or controller ruining your neighborhood or threatening your family...

Interesting, all of these years you trashed PS without even tried one of their games.

Nintendo is my least preferred hardware manufacturer company, but at least I have tried all their consoles and have the Switch with plenty of games, jrpg games mostly.

As for the OP, enjoy dad of war, to me it kinda starts slowly but start to build after a few hours.

Won't have to worry about needing to buy the hardware to play those games or use that controller, either

FYI just because I never purchased a PlayStation game doesn't mean I never tried their games on other people's devices.

Before you continue, I rec watching a video like IGN’s “God of War in 5 minutes” to at least understand the preceding story a little.

I really didn’t like the original GoW games, but GoW 2018 is my favorite game of all time. Hope you enjoy it.

I read a recap article on the previous games before even buying it to see if I'd like the general story setup.

helps a little for context, but if you do 100% on gow 2018 it contains all you need storywise, even the name was choosen to indicate it being "independent"

Why hath thy loathed Playstation?

The following is my opinion.

1) I don't like 99% of mature games or R movies. Seeing people dismembered, tortured, sex scenes, or any combination thereof is not why I play video games. Many PlayStation games fall into these categories. There are exceptions, but they haven't been enough to justify the expense of buying a PlayStation. 

2) For my kid/teen years, I loved my GameCube dearly. It was the console me and my friends played every day. None of us had any time for PS2's because all our gaming time was spent going back and forth between Smash Melee, Mario Party, Star Wars Clone Wats, Rogue Squadron 2, and the hordes of other games on the purple box. That is, to this day, my single favorite gaming console ever, so PlayStation didn't really stand a chance of winning over my time back then. I certainly couldn't afford two devices then and since we all were playing GC like crazy that furthered me not buying one. Then PS3 came out with an absurdly high price point and that was extremely off-putting and I loved GameCube so much that I got a Wii.

3) I have never liked the PS controller design. It's always felt weird in my hands, unlike the perfect gaming controller that is the GameCube which felt more comfortable in my hand than any other controller.

4) The fanboy impact. When I was younger I encountered a lot of kids who owned PlayStations and had a rather arrogant mindset because of it. They'd always brag about how much better the PS was compared to Nintendo, kind of like Apple fanatics we're just as insulting in high school. That rubbed me the wrong way. Should I hate on a company for what their consumers do? No, but I was a dumb kid myself lol.
