Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition coming to Steam February 5th.

Trailer:

No real surprise, really. Nioh 1 was on Steam and sold well.

Great news for fans of the game.

I will buy this very lazy sequel.

I'm in.

This is an amazing game, really worth a buy. The character creation is amazing you could create the most beautiful (or horrendous) faces with minimal efforts.

Yay! Enjoyed the first one on Steam. Not a masterpiece or anything, but the combat system was awesome.

Hmm. This will be out less than a year after the PS4 release. Despite Sony's evasiveness, we know for certain Demon's Souls will be coming to PC as well. Death Stranding took 9 months. One should remember that these release timings are often dictated by exclusivity contracts.

Which is a promising trend for me personally. Hopefully, this means I won't have to wait too long for a certain Sony game I'm really interested in.

Knew this was coming to PC, so no surprise.

HFW no doubt lol. I'm also waiting for that game and this time, it better not be 3 more years like the last one.

Yup. Definitely grabbing that.

@madrocketeer: Nioh isn't a first party game. But yea, there is probably hope for PS5 games coming to PC down the road.

Nioh (and Nioh 2) is actually funded and published by Sony, hence the publishing rights on console rest with Sony even though Koei Tecmo is more than capable of self publishing. Sony is sneakily trying PC market, I mean they have a new $50m PC venture mentioned in their recent Q2 earnings.

As in porting console games? Or something else?

Very good.

Dont know, they did specify Horizon Zero Dawn as example of quick money.

I'm really easy to read at this point, aren't I?

Well, it is published by Sony, and typically it is the publisher who funds the development of the game, and therefore set the terms of the release dates and platforms.

It just seems Sony's contracts with these "second party" studios are slowly becoming relatively more open-minded, at least towards PC.

Yeah, Sony did say they're interested in more PC ports of their first party games. It's a bit of a tea leaves reading as to how that will pan out at this point, but between this and Demon's Souls, it looks very promising.

About time, was just talking about this yesterday with some coworkers. Definitely scooping.

Ah nope. It's funded and published by Koei Tecmo. Sony took care of publishing in the west.

Yup, that port was done really cheaply. Couldn't have cost them more than 5 bucks to make.

I was looking forward to this but everything i've heard just makes it seem like an even harder version of the first one, and as much as I enjoyed that, the difficulty became too extreme after a point and I ended up giving up somewhere in act 4.

not sure i'm up for this

Sounds good, I need some more Souls clones in my life to tide the wait until Eldin Ring over.

@madrocketeer: as someone pointed out, I think Sony just publishes the game for the West.

Nioh collection (1+2+dlc) coming to PS5 supports 4K and up to 120fps.

I did say "typically."

Still, my point about contractual obligations stands. It's obvious in return for publishing the game on the PlayStation outside Japan, they can't release the game on anything other PlayStation and PC.

The port has gotten better now and regardless, I still rather play it on PC then on PS4 console. I do hope Sony learns from this and do a better job next time cause I really hope HZD on PC sold well enough to encourage Sony port more exclusive games.

Nice, I was really expecting this.

Honestly if they are going to do them on the cheap like this, don't bother. PC has more than enough broken PC ports.

I know Microsoft started out like this too (Gears of War remastered). But their ports have improved a lot. If Sony can't do quality ports, they shouldn't bother.

@R4gn4r0k: Oh I agree Sony shouldn't bother if they aren't going to do justice. I just want them to port there games on PC...but it better be done right no doubt.

@davillain-: Yup, more great ports is great for everyone :)

Haven't played the first, so I'm ambivalent right now - but still: good to see it coming to the platform and happy to have it there if I ever want it :-)

Quit the first one at the giant toad. I think I'm over Souls games.

Hopefully they do justice on the port this time
