Death Stranding announced for PC, early summer 2020.

Said it in that thread a couple of months ago. This project was always announced as coming to PC, it's just that outside of that first announcement they have kept quiet about it.

Anyway, Kojima still needs to learn from Rockstar.
First you release it on PS4 so everyone buys it and THEN you announce it for PC. That way you get the PC only crowd but also a lot of people who own both a PS4 and PC and will double dip.

Koji-sama is much better than this. A true auteur who would never rip-off his fans or engage in anti-consumer practices. :messenger_smiling_hearts:

Pretty weird to announce this before the PS4 version is even out.

Might be tied to a PC launcher deal. So he needed to prep the gaming audience for what's to come for PC.

Given many key titles lately have done EGS deals, wouldn't be surprised if Hideo partnered with Epic.

In all seriousness though, Sony should make a PC launcher. This would secure a piece of the PC software market and secure millions of new and old fans. Not a streaming service either. PS Now is utter shit. Just make a launcher and test it with a few games at first. Games like The Last of Us, Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted Trilogy, Bloodborne would sell millions more.

Circus clowns on forums encouraging developers to mislead and screw customers intentionally. We're living in a gaming dystopia.
 
Meh.
I dont play games in the summer. Only loosers play games in the summer.
Summer is about planting my ass in the sand and watch titties and bubble butts all day.
Pffff. Playing games......


Also i dont get the message here. Is it soo good that he cant wait for people to know its comming to pc or is it so fucking bad he needs to make some preorders on pc as well before the world finds out its a 4 out of 10.

Well first of it was a joke,

But even then
The only ones getting screwed are suckers who buy games day 1 and decide to ignore the information that is out there:
- Project announced as coming to PC
- Sony has never presented the game during any event as "only coming to Ps4"
- Game is removed from the list of exclusives on the Playstation website.

No doubt this will cause people's piss to boil.

Let it boil, I say.

I genuinely do not understand why some people would even be bothered by this or surprised. This game is going to look and run pretty damn wonderfully on PC.

"What? Even more people get to play a Koji Pro game? Man, am I livid." lol it's so silly.

6-plus months total exclusivity, likely lifetime console exclusivity. Plus 3 years of Kojima orchestrated hype for the game and their platform, sounds like a winner to me!
 
I've seen some corners of the internet complaining about this being announced before the PS4 release, saying it will hurt day one sales.

So you're saying that corporation profit margins are more important than informing gamers/consumer rights, just so you can boast on the internet that your chosen platform is 'imba'? Lol.

Well i guess Sonys should stop making consoles now ... no reason to own one anymore.

This just devalues the whole proposition of buying a playstation console...

or its actually a good thing.

Regardless of console. Any console exclusive going to PC devalues the console. Which is why having a Xbox is almost pointless at this time.
 
Even if disappointing for some, this is overall great news.

Now we get to see all the hard work the team put into the visuals, pushed to the max, and hey, it's still console exclusive.

It will hurt PS4 sales, but overall it's great for Hideo as his game just tripled his potential user base. The only people complaining are walled garden gamers who need Game X to be solely theirs to justify buying their plastic box, when most people probably don't give a shit and the more platforms the better so everyone gets a chance.

It's like VHS vs. Beta. VHS won. But I don't remember hearing one person jump up and down cheering because VHS got more movies. It didn't work out financially for movie studios to make movies for both platforms, but if the money was there it would be great for both sides to get lots of movies.

Yet in video games, idiots feel like they won the lottery because a game is solely on their machine. Grow up.

PS4 user base: 100 million

PC user base with a rig good enough to run it well: maybe 200 million active gamers?

And how are sales going to drop?

The only thing that I wonder about...

Kojima is known for studying consoles, and in a way building games around their structure, usually for the sake of breaking 4th wall.

Will PC version be changed in some way because of that...?

Over/under on Gaben making a PC-exclusive cameo as one of the preppers? I predict a wieldable crowbar or silly hat with a valve on it.

Please no EGS exclusive for fuck's sake

Early summer 2020, not early 2020. They could move assets and built it on Unreal Engine 4 instead of optimizing Decima for PCs. We will find out next year.
Update:
Wiki says it is Decima.
Click to expand...
One does not simply switch engine to port to PC, outside of crazy outliers like Nightdive Studios' KEX engine titles.

Chances are Decima already works fine on the platform, though I do know the HZD dev pipeline involved having the engine open on PC and streaming assets and changes directly to the game running on a PS4 devkit.

i still hear about how MGSV sucks, tho it is my favorite Metal Gear game to play.
Click to expand...
I myself don't like some things about MGSV - such as no David Hayter despite what he always meant since MGS1, terrible treatment of Peace Walker characters, no Skull Face boss fight...

Still, that doesn't change the fact that I spent huge amount of hours in this game, enjoyed it, and still do, because it has so much replay value.
 
I won't be waiting. Hopefully, it's good enough to make me want to double dip. If not, I won't have missed out on much by playing it now, anyway.

Wait til PCGaymers mod a big Dick for Norman Reedus when he's peeing.

I don't like seeing visionary works being mocked the way Sekiro was mocked by making nude mods for it. Utterly childish.

"Sam, he's reading from your hard drive. Format it quick so your shots will land!"
 
The game is being sold mainly on the mystery of its premise. 6 months out from launch... very different situation.

Why is everybody always talking about dicks around me?! :messenger_tears_of_joy:

(Not actually triggered — way too much time on the internet for that. Don't self-censor, you guys are awesome)

It is, though. I kinda get that. At the same time though, I guess you can buy a print of a famous art piece, make your additions with a sharpie, but it will never be authentic or the intention of the creator.
