I mean outside of ND GG are technical wizards as well. Not surprised Kojima chose them.

Such a shame all the work on the engine they done at Konami had to totally get left behind.

lol at Cerny jabbing Konami. Sony knows Konami ain't making anything good in the future confirmed.

 

[Tacklemacain]

Sony own the IP
Sony own the engine.

The only "proof" of a PC version was some moderator on the PlayStation EU forums saying it might come to PC after the Kojima x Sony announcement last year.


This thing is locked down tighter then North Korea.

Even after the Sony deal he said it would come out on PC too.
I think he also said during the MGS 5 developement, that he dislices platform exclusives.

From that same link.

Anyone else still believes it's fully PS4 exclusive?

I don't.

 

[copelandmaster]

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.

If you squint it looks like a silver "!"

 

[jett]

PC version is looking a pipedream now.

Where is that from?

 

[LelouchZero]

Wow that's awesome!

 

[JP]

That all sounded like a pretty intimate setup between all parties. I'm such a fan of Kojima and it's really good to see him happy, comfortable and feeling positive about what he's doing.

I'd love to see the faces of which ever Konami board members treated the way they did when Death Stranding finally releases and they tart to understand what a men they made.

 

[Elandyll]

I don't think it necessarily means a PC version is "impossible", but I wouldn't expect it any time soon tbh.
Like 1yr + away maybe.

 

[LostDonkey]

So is it the same engine as Horizon or just based on the same code.

And why not go with the Uncharted 4 engine?

Maybe the open world Horizon pull is better for his vision.

Sony owns the copyright for the game. If Kojima Productions own it I would still totally be on the "its coming to PC later" train but not now we know Sony owns it.

It could maybe still happen but I have doubts. We will have years to wait and see and I am sure someone will ask someone at Sony eventually.

Originally I thought it was a 1 game deal where Kojima could then make the 2nd game mutiplatform if he chose but that cant happen now sony owns it.

Maybe the deal changed?

The live Panel just ended.

No horizon market place gif yet?

 

[RenegadeXV8]

Must be pretty nice to be Kojima right now.

He can literally make whatever the fuck he wants because everyone is willing to throw any amount of money at him to make it happen.

Any link to it?

He said that the game will look even much better than this.

Ah, there it is. Probably will come after PS4, but I don't mind waiting/buying again for cheaper.

 

[fluffydelusions]

PC version is looking a pipedream now.

why?

 

[msdstc]

If there's anything GG is good at it's engine building, so this is pretty great news.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Wait, was what they showed at the Game Awards in-engine?

 

[JP]

And why not go with the Uncharted 4 engine?

Maybe the open world Horizon pull is better for his vision.

The same engine, both studios are actually building the engine now and improvements by either team goes back into the code and is available to both teams.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Yeah, Death Stranding has been described as being an open world action game so it makes sense

Wait, was what they showed at the Game Awards in-engine?

Yes

 

[DangerMouse]

Death Stranding is practically 1st party.

SIE funding and publishing.
Cerny (PS4 lead architect) is the Technical Producer.
Guerrilla Games engine.
SIE visual arts studio doing all motion capture work.

PC release was mentioned at the project inception (prior to choosing engine, going on a worldwide trip) but I'm not so sure anymore.

Agreed.

Herman Hulst of Guerilla Games and Mark Cerny are also at the Death Stranding panel talking about working with Kojima.

What a combo.

Considering how trippy the game looks, they're in the right place to keep that mojo going.

If you squint it looks like a silver "!"

I thought that's what they were going for, too. lol

 

[SpookyFries]

As good as the Fox engine was, this was a blessing in disguise

 

[EL CUCO]

This is going to sell a bazillion PS4's if it stays exclusive

 

[Shredderi]

Shinobi is the real insider it seems. I already dread the day he too falls and gets banned for something

 

[N° 2048]

Any link to it?

I can't find one

Help anyone?

[Inuhanyou]

Sony are probably getting plenty of the money from the PC release(all of it?) in addition to the PS4 version with their level of investment.

 

[JP]

Could my lifelong dreams of a Hideo Kojima Marble Madness game actually be possible after all these years of waiting?

Spoiler

I didn't actually have a dream of Hideo Kojima Marble Madness game but now that I've though of it...

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Wait, was what they showed at the Game Awards in-engine?

Kojima reconfirmed that it was running in real-time on PS4 PRO. He also basically laughed at those saying it was pre-rendered.

 

[BillyJack]

yep

Nope

 

[Tripolygon]

Just because the engine is owned by Sony doesn't mean it can't come on PC. Sony also owns engines that have been used for PC, Xbox360 and Xbox One games.

 

[M.D]

From that same link.

Anyone else still believes it's fully PS4 exclusive?

That was posted back in June tho? I think people are doubting this duo to all the recently revealed information

 

[eyeball_kid]

I wonder if Sony is doing some behind-the-scenes deals with the actors signing on. I'm sure they're getting paid regardless, but there might be some "if you do this, we'll give you a part in __ Sony Pictures film".

 

[dracula_x]

Just because the engine is owned by Sony doesn't mean it can't come on PC. Sony also owns engines that have been used for PC, Xbox360 and Xbox One games.

Sony owns Death Stranding IP too.

 

[vpance]

Probably yeah.

GG powered game with Kojima/Shinkawa art direction is a dream come true.

No problem, thanks for the info regardless

 

[GhostTrick]

Sony owns Helldivers and Everybody's gone to rapture.

 

[Tripolygon]

Sony owns Death Stranding IP too.

Yes i know, I'm just saying the engine is not one of the reasons why it can't come on PC like some have said in this thread.

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Sony owns Death Stranding IP too.

Sony deson't own neither the engine nor the game IP and MGS4 is still PS3 exclusive. It has many exclusive PlayStation assets and hints that it can't go anywhere else.

 

[dracula_x]

From that same link.

Anyone else still believes it's fully PS4 exclusive?

that was before partnership with GG, btw

 

[Belakor]

Doesn't mean it's still PS4 exclusive.All I can say is that they truly wanted PS4 Pro to shine and promote PS4 regardless of a PC version,so that's with they allied with Guerilla which have greatly optimized engines for Playstation

I still bet it's gonna be a timed exclusive

 

[Loudninja]

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.

Yeah this is all updated stuff we got today.

 

[blastprocessor]

Hopefully the new engine supports day/night transitions.

 

[eyeball_kid]

Sony owns Helldivers and Everybody's gone to rapture.

Sony's obviously positioning DS as a megaton system seller (probably the PS5). While it could come to the PC, it doesn't make sense to me from a branding POV.

 

[JuanLatino]

Sony owns the Death Stranding IP, but there could be a deal between Kojima and them, so that later on a PC Version is coming.

maybe that was one of the requirements to get Kojima on board. And i mean, its not like Sony won't profit from a PC Version

 

[HStallion]

Hopefully the new engine supports day/night transitions.

The engine already supports that, its in Horizon Zero Dawn.

 

[Heshinsi]

Is the IP owned by Sony though? If it is, a PC port is probably a long shot.
