kek, PCPoors brought about their own destruction

>>714166359 (OP)
well I mean, duh? It's been fucking years and it's not on PC, clearly they had no intentions, any of the reasons people came up with could have been fixed or worked around.
just the usual out of touch higher ups allergic to money

>>714166548
Isn't it sad that PC gamers would have been playing CTR years ago if they weren't overwhelmingly cheaters?

There are better kart games on PC. I actually bought a PS4 to play BB and then spent more time with Nioh and The Surge. I think pc gamers should have more ego, this game is good and so on, but it's not like the platform doesn't have games. And Sonic RBR is free and it's fucking great

>>714166548
"bigger audience" is retarded, console sales drop off but PC games sell for years and years after the fact
as for cheaters who fucking cares? there was a billion anti-cheat programes they could have plugged in, and there was still a whole offline experience people would have went for and even bought the mtx for

I'm happy to just accept they didn't care to, anything else is an excuse

>>714166548
>goes to the console

>impossible to find matches online

The game sold well but toddlers won't play multiplayer. So it's just a poor excuse not to port the game. Still, do pc gamers really need this game? Seeing the purchasing habits of PC gamers overwhelming prefer PC genres like RTS, Management, RPG's, FPS. With a few exceptions such as GTA (shooter), MHW (RPG) and Elden Ring (RPG).

>>714166359 (OP)
Just emulate the switch version????????????????????????????

>No PC port
>Still PC is the best way to play because of 60fps emulation

>muh anticheat
The game is host authoritative. What the host's machine says goes.
What that actually means is that Activision was shitting their pants at the idea of people being able to get around the microtransactions.

at least we'll be able to emulate it in a few years...

>>714166661
the problem wasn't actual cheating, but "cheating" that would've let people get around paying for retarded shit.

>>714171214
Yeah, because as we all know there are absolutely no games with successful cash shops on PC.

>>714166359 (OP)
any day now

>>714171562
Activision is retarded please understand

>>714166359 (OP)
Sucks to suck!

>>714166359 (OP)
Fuck, I clicked on a Canadian Guy Eh video. Hope he doesn't poison my youtube feed too much.

>>714170745
Well since it's been years since Activision last even supported the game, wouldn't it make sense to put out a quick cheap "Ultimate Edition" PC port with everything unlocked? It wouldn't take that much dev time, and people clearly want it, cheaters be damned.

>>714168117
Based. Ryujinx and Yuzu run it better than the PS4 could ever dream of anyway. Throw in some texture mods and 4K shaders and it's basically the remaster we never got. Port never ever, but emulation stays winning.

>>714166359 (OP)
>>A PC port was never planned or in development
Based.

>>714171856
The "Don't recommend channel" button is a godsend. Haven't seen most big ecelebs pop up in like 4 years.

>>714166853
Also cod games should have cheaters too right?

>>714173039
FPS games have a higher concentration of cheaters than other genres for some reason.
Their issue isnt cheaters, it was a lack of budget.

>>714172165
It took years for them to finally add it for real. Had to reblock some channels after I stopped using youtube blocker but now it's as good as it was before.

>>714166853
There isn't much of a proven history of kart racers doing well on PC. Other than Sonic Transformed having a legacy there I guess

>>714166359 (OP)
Honestly.. does anyone give a fuck about this “remake” at this point???

>>714174658
>other than the one time they actually just put a kart racer on PC and it sold fine and was popular

>>714166359 (OP)
Real reason is Activision didn't want people unlocking all the skins, which is exactly what everyone does on the Switch version on PC.

>>714174658
Rocket League did better on PC than when they originally released it on consoles. It's not a kart game, but people are open to different things. It's not just autistic simulators that thrive on PCs

>we have a bigger community on consoles so we won't make a PC version
The community is bigger on console because they didn't make a PC version. This circular reasoning is self serving
Just say you didn't have the budget to allocate any team members to work on porting. The issue is ultimately that Activision didn't have enough confidence in the product to give them bogo bucks in funding, so they worked with what they had.

>>714166359 (OP)
why was it in the nvidia leak then?

>>714174761
it would blow the fuck out of mario and sonic right now honestly

>>714171856
Just use Blocktube. It's the only thing that makes ASMR bearable anymore when you can block all the whores/men/vtubers

>>714174819
One case of a game selling okay does not constitute a proven history, yes.

>>714175071
Rocket League is a competitive team based game. Literally an entire other genre with different appeal.

>>714176445
So, the original game is Supersonic, a console exclusive that flopped because, like, most indies didn't do the best numbers on consoles. When they released it on PC, they finally got the public's attention. Which bounced back so that the console releases were finally successful

does this mean we're never getting a current gen rerelease i guess.

>>714166359 (OP)
oh no
online-ctr.com
anyway

>>714166853
This, it's clearly just a bunch of made up corpo bullshit like it always is with Activision. Only a fucking retard would fall for these excuses.

>>714176820
They are either going to re release it in hopes of farming more coin purchases or they are going to just let it die. That's the only reason I can think of that it's taken this long for them to get it done. Expect insane root kit anti cheat shit for the PC version of it ever becomes a reality.

>>714171840
I too engage in a forced rivalry and couldn't care less about the quality of the games themselves

>hold a beloved franchise ransom
>every time you do good shit with it it sells well and people clearly want more
>do absolutely nothing for years or self sabotage with trash like wumpa league
spyro gets this treatment too. just depressing.

Wasn't there a leak of a port being done for current-gen consoles and PC with a couple new characters?

>>714178814
>leaks

>>714178814
it was most likely a fake. it was pretty low effort.

>>714178814
if real it gives a 6-12 month timeline until learning that.

>>714166359 (OP)

>>714174658
Sonic is really weird as a concept. Sonic Racing is a spin-off that has nothing to do with sonic besides Sonic skins and is far worse than any big competitors of the same genre on all fronts. Yet it sold 50% more than goddamn Warhammer 3, THE mainline of its genre (and at least I regard themepark racing games more niche than strategy games). You'd imagine Sonic would be dead and buried by now, but for some reason every time a new Sonic game/movie is released no matter the theme or quality, it gets gobbled up like hot cakes.

>>714179583
Toddlers

>>714180091
Toddlers dont give a fuck about Sonic. They dont even know what it is. To them its just a random BuggleGo Racing. Thats why its so interesting.

>>714179583
>>714180091
>>714181254
Sonic has a special side-brand to cover that demographic.

>>714179583
Sonic as a franchise has way too many autists to really ever lose momentum, even with bad games.

>>714178814
Yeah bro, there was also another Bloodborne PC leak (for sure this time)

>>714171627

dead game

>>714180091
tbf, show Sonic to any kids and they will be able to name him.
Now, Crash, on the other hand, none will be able to know who the fuck he is.

>>714179369
I've always heard NF's load times were horrible, but I had never seen it myself. What the fuck is it doing, loading every asset in the game then deloading what it doesn't need?

>>714166661
it's either cheaters on PC or desertic online on consoles.

One thing everyone is forgetting is that at the time "PC port" for a Crash game meant a Battle.net release, not a Steam release. It wasn't until years later that Crash 4 came out on Steam too. So they were probably right to assume that a PC version wouldn't have sold that well since it'd be both a kart racer and exclusive to a launcher other than Steam.

>>714183474
I do find it funny how despite Shadow being as popular as Sonic, he gets omitted from that kind of merch and generally gets the more expensive stuff like statues.

>>714185847
No, he's there too. Still an asshole.

>>714168117
No, looks like shit and has even worse loading times.

>>714175008
Retard.

>>714186303
Odd, whenever I see baby Sonic perch out in the wild like the mall or conventions, I literally only see Sonic, Tails, Knuckle's, or Amy and my brother said he had to put the Shadow merch away at my nephew's Sonic birthday party because he scared some autistic girl.

>>714187318
There's a Sonic/Sega pop up store going across the US at the moment and all of the shadow plush's in that style are instantly sold out. It's being reported that no one can find any shadow stuff anywhere and with the build a bear restock it's going to get crazy. I'm glad sonic is popular again and it's through shadow

>>714178814
99% sure it was fake. Otherwise they'd most likely play as the new characters.

>>714177117
Have items been implemented to this shit yet? Hell, have they patched any exploits out of tracks like Polar Pass or Papu's Pyramid? NF still had its own problems with spedrunners but at least you had a fighting chance at catching up to them thanks to both of these factors

>>714189978
Those shortcuts aren't going away, they're perfectly fine.
If you take issue with any unintended shortcuts from ps1 ctr, itd be hot air skyway and oxide station since those skip significant portions of the track

>>714192367
>Those shortcuts aren't going away, they're perfectly fine.
Papu's Pyramid's shortcut skips the entire track if done right and Polar Pass's makes you completely impossible to reach if there are no other autists that wasted the same amount of time as you learning how to do that jump correctly, and that's the thing here, I want to think I'm not a sore loser by any means but I also sure as shit ain't spending time learning how to do every little exploit in the game to catch up to speds that get their rocks off by showing off, that shit's not fun

>>714178814
>>714188113
If we don't get any confirmation at gamescom then it's 100% fake. It's not too unusual to wait an extended period of time before porting things or giving a "complete" edition, especially when they want to milk microtransactions. I'll remain hopeful. Either we get a port finally, or some giga chad autist decomps it when I am 80 years old or some shit.

>>714194295
If Microsoft doesn't decide to make a PC release, then its likely over for good
But we have the decompile of ps1 ctr as well as a standalone fangame* that already has modding support so it'll just be a matter of ripping the tracks out.

>>714172104
>4K shaders
???? Which ones are you talking about?

>>714176275
Blocktube doesn't seem to work anymore on Chrome.

>we could have had a continued Crash/Spyro revival under competent leadership if Activision actually had respect for their brands

there's already a pc port of the psx version being made which is better than the remake in every conceivable way, i don't even know why people talk about this shitty remake, it makes me so ANGRY

>>714196782
>there's already a pc port of the psx version being made
Development stopped

>>714196782
Some of the changes made in Nitro fueled make it better and worse than the OG. It's ok to have both as options.

>>714169848
>switch version
nah

>>714198859
still better
