Guerrilla Games announces Decima Engine (Death Stranding, Horizon, Killzone)
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
Timed exclusive with delayed PC release. If Sony had secured full exclusivity they'd be shouting ONLY ON PS4 from the rooftops.
Sony actually doesn't own everybody gone to the rapture.

Why would they ask that question with PlayStation guys on stage
More than that, he still is the coms manager for Sony EU. He posted the investor brief and then was told to take it down once it was given. It's a bit more valid than a "forum mod".
However, things most certainly can change. Although considering what Kojima said after making the deal to partner with Sony, it seems quite clear he doesn't want to be owned by any party again.
That does add to the point though of these rights being contingent on whatever obligations they choose to make - which people can only speculate on. Edit - or as above lol
Just go to the livestream and track back
Unless Sony publishes on PC again
I don't care if its exclusive or not, I just want this game to be the best it can be. If it's gonna be timed exclusive, I don't care. I can buy a PS4 Pro for whatever peanuts it'll cost by the time this game launches.
Denying PC gamers the game must mean Sony went really in on the development side.

Until we know own for certain it's not coming to PC I wouldn't consider it port begging at all.
I'm just imagining one of the Guerrilla employees going into a jewelry store and asking for a box that a ring comes with.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.
-Ohh, and what ring would you like to go with it?
-No ring needed, I'm gonna use it to hold a sick ass software engine.
-Okay...
Port begging for a game that was originally announced for PC and nobody has denied it?

How the hell does Kojima have time to research all this stuff...
it's not port begging if it was announced originally. I'm just trying to get confirmation. There is going to be backlash if its exclusive.

They should upload the trailer with the new song.
I wouldn't be surprised that if this intimate partnership between Kojima Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment is successful they become one. It's possible Sony buys in to Kojima Productions for the long-term.
I have no doubt after Death Stranding that Kojima, with the resources of Sony, would be able to create his own engine in time. If he really needs to, of course.

It certainly still could come to PC at some point but, to me, it's not really looking like it will. Other games that Sony have allowed to get PC releases haven't had this sort of relationship with the developers and they're also far smaller games that have probably benefited from sales due to there being a PC version.
I don't think this game needs that, I think Sony will believe that keeping it as a PS4 exclusive will actually sell console to some people and any sales losses from not releasing a PC version will simply be swallowed up by the PS4 version.
I wouldn't be surprised to actually see the game get a limited edition Death Stranding console when it launches and as we've seen, there are people who would buy a second console when that happens.

Is that an USB stick inside the box? Did this happen for real or was it a joke (I mean the source code in the box with Guerilla logo patch over it)?

Frankly, I think Sony is way more interested in using this game to promote the PS4 as THE place to play immersive games than the additional money from sales of the PC version.
They dropped it several times and registered it again.

Solidifying a deep relationship with Kojima is probably the best strategic move Sony has made in a long time. Having an auteur like that gives them street cred, someone with a proven track record of hits, and the ability to pick his brain for other projects, and for Kojima it gives him financial stability and creative freedom. I guess it remains to be seen whether this becomes a long-term partnership or if it's a pit stop while Kojima grows his company. My feeling is Kojima would rather not worry about running a business and instead focus on his creative projects.

Yeah, it happened. Kojima got that when he met with Guerilla.

It was announced for PC. So it would actually be exclusive begging, which is a concept that I can't even wrap my head around.

Chances are this has become a PS4 exclusive now.
I'd love to see if Toyama has spoken much with Kojima. If Kojima is making a horror game no one better to talk to than the creator of the Silent Hill and Siren series.

Yeah, basically the reason I still don't think it's Sony exclusive. I also don't think them publishing the ps4 version means anything either. For example, No Man's Sky was published by Sony for the PS4 version, and by Hello Games for the PC version. The same is true for Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. That was also another game that was marketed like it was exclusive.
Let's just wait for confirmation on that.

It wasn't officially announced for PC. It was more of a "It's not coming to Xbox. It's up to Kojima if it releases on PC, but for now it's exclusive for PS4". Even if it's hinted at being on PC, it won't release or be talked about until or after PS4's release.
Maybe. Would suck to those interested in a PC version. But I imagine that those voices will be drowned out and told it's no big deal, buy a PS4.
you're right this one's about total dark I think.

Huh? You want it to stay exclusive instead of being on other platforms...what?
Also I don't think Sony owns the Death Stranding name at all.
read the rest of my posts.....
No, it was officially announced for PC, with literal words.

Amazing. Proud Dutchy here
Some people have actually good hardware and want to see what the game would be like on it, and that's OK. I don't think it'll be available on PC, and it'll be worse off for it, but I get where the hopeful are coming from.
That was a year ago buddy. A lot has changed.
