Cerny even just said that on the tech side things turned into more of a collaboration than they thought. I bet that's true for much of the project. It was initially thought to be more of a partnership, but as Sony has given him free reign to all of their resources it's grown to far closer to an in-house first party project than predicted.

It's interesting that Decima engine has its own twitter account (refereed to by GG's twitter) : https://twitter.com/DecimaEngine
Sorry, mate. It's being published by Sony.
Probably PS4 exclusive to start with and maybe a PC release 6-12 months after I'd guess.

I would think so. I find it incredibly hard to believe that Sony would let such a large game go to pc when they are basically providing for everything (they are funding, provide the engine, and also own the IP if I'm not mistaken). The statements about pc were also most likely made before anything was solid, and probably very much subject to change (can't say for sure of course).

The fact they are using the same code base is amazing, 2 devs known for creating amazing tech collaborating on this level mindfuckingblown.
apparently, Decima engine has an official twitter account https://twitter.com/DecimaEngine

Good news. Hopefully this speeds up development.
What?
He himself said it.

The Q&A is now deleted, but you have his literal words.

Because Guerilla Games is no stranger to in-house engines targeting PC ?

I think it's pretty clear that a lot has changed.
Maybe Sony should get a collaboration going with Sakaguchi and launch a Final Fantasy-ish PS franchise.
:3
Hopefully they don't go back on their word.

Kojima+Guerrila and Mark Cerny working on 1 engine.
WHAT IS THIS YEAR IN GAMING!

Interesting. I wonder though if Sony asked for full exclusivity since their providing so much of their own technology and funding.

Guerrilla must have built a good engine if yet another studio is using it.

I doubt Sony cares as long as they can advertise it as a PS only game.

Lol Kojima using this engine is actually making me more interested in Horizon than before. Those location shots looked really good.
Definitely suited for PS4 since studios are using it to make ps4 exclusives.

Because in 5 years when its coming out for PS5 the trailers still work.
It'll be interesting, as technically the team that ported MGSV was Koji Pro LA. Sony would have to be okay with Kojima finding an external porting team or working on it with their own funds internally (perhaps with a third party publishing partner). They'd also have to be comfortable with someone optimizing Decima for PC, which is probably no easy task.
Until there is clear word currently that the game is coming to PC, I would take whatever was said in the past to be with a huge grain of salt. Would love to play it on PC (although probably wouldn't since it would be a late port) but it seems very unlikely to me.

When Kojima met Guerrilla they introduced themselves and handed him this
That's the source code to Decima. He said they gave him that before any deals or contracts were in place.
That's a sweet ass little box of code lol they're so flamboyant
naw. Trailers mention it will be on PS4 but not "only on PS4". This will be on pc but obviously they won't say it now.
That is absolutely incredible. What a gracious thing to do for him. Excellent work, Guerilla.When Kojima met Guerrilla they introduced themselves and handed him this

I believe that is what's known in the business as a "baller move." Very smooth, Guerilla.

My main question is. Did the engine was already named like that??? Before they even met Kojima i mean.
There's so many symbolisms in the name that makes me think it's not.

Guerilla and Kojima Productions will work together and share work to improve each others' codes like with Sony internal studios.
Looking forward to see how next Guerilla game will look like.

This. Shinobi is the true insider
From that same link.
Anyone else still believes it's fully PS4 exclusive?
