$20 on PS4 but $50$ on PC. For a 3+ year old game.
Then go play it on a PS4. Your entitlement to assume that all the time and expense it took the developers to port it over to PC to then sell it on Steam for $20 minus Valve's 30% is foolish. I own it on PS4 but as far as I see it, this is a new game for PC gamers.
Its the same assets. Same story. 99.99% of the game is already done! Why do we have to pay an extra $20 for a old game? PC users getting screwed over just like when PC games jumped to $60 for no damned reason other than "well we milked the console users for an extra $10 why not the PC users too!".
Because it cost them to port it. Decima is a proprietary engine made by Sony for Playstation. Then on top of that, according to the trailer, the devs added a bunch of PC-only features and enhancements, including unlocked framerates. I didn't think Decima was able to achieve that.
It's funny that the people who don't work in software think that a port is only 0.01% of the entire effort.
I might buy the argument if this was a PS3 port and not a PS4 one. Given the underlying cpu tech used in the PS4 being x86 cpus, its hard to say the effort is worth $50. Its better than $60-80 of the console release. But then I bought the disc version of the base game what, 2.5 years ago in Nov 2017 for $20 If I'd waited a year I would have been paying $30 or so for the complete edition instead. I never bothered with the expansion as I just wasn't in love with the game to warrant it.
If this was say, the Master Chief Halo collection where they are modernizing the games and putting in a working multiplayer mode I'd be more understanding. That game(s) has been $40 or less for 8+ months now.
No. If ports to PC were so simple then RDR2 and other failed ports would not be a thing. Converting from one platform to another is not difficult because of the hardware (e.g. CPUs) it's difficult because you you need to convert the existing framework to a new one. It would actually be easier to reskin an existing game (art & assets) than it would be to port a game from console to PC.

... How ef'n fortuitous this thread, as I've only 'just' recently GoG'd Elex and my lvl 30 'zerker Jax is now tooling about a chapter 3 Magalan. I loved the Gothic series through Night of the Raven and when GoG threw Elex out there for way too cheap I pulled the trigger, being a fan of earlier janky Piranha Bytes offerings. Thanks for the heads up/early adopter info on HZD!

I don't like the esthetics. This won't be a day one buy for me. It reminds me of ELEX -- the weird hybrid of future and past technology -- and my brain just thinks it's dumb
Not at all have I convinced myself that I won't like it, though, but I'll wait for the usual reviewers I trust (Worth a Buy, Skill Up, that's about it).
Having played ELEX and HZD (including the expansion), I can tell you that HZD is a far superior product. The controls are smoother. <SNIP Lotsa stuff>

Actually you're getting 20 bucks cheaper then when it was released for PS4. There are enough PC features that if money wasn't an issue I'd double dip for the PC version. This was the game that made me buy a PS4, and again is worth the money if the port isn't screwed up.
