Death Stranding announced for PC, early summer 2020.

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 am happy with Decima. Somehow UE3 left a bad taste in me even though UE4 is a different beast.

Plot Twist: The game is going to be testing single game Playstation Now tech where you can buy individual streaming games on PC rather than a whole subscription.

Yeah, UE3 sure was something. Fantastic if you wanted to make a first or third person shooter with wacky texture pop-in, but big oof otherwise.

Now that the game has been approved by the Major himself, my decision to wait for the PC version has been validated.

At the time when a PC port launches, PS4 players, just after finishing The Last of US II, will start drooling over upcoming Ghost of Tsushima and PS5.

Regardless of what an individual owns. An exclusive going to another medium devalues that platform.
That's utter nonsense, because each player is an individual who does or doesn't own various platforms. Therefore, the value of each platform to that individual is partly decided by the other platforms that individual owns. If that individual does not own an expensive gaming PC, the value of the PS4 platform to that person is exactly the same, whether or not PS4 exclusives get ported to PC. PS4 as a platform only devalues if someone owns a PC.

Are you still pushing your Epic Game Store agenda? Please stop.
I don't even have the Epic Games Store installed, and have never (to this point) bought anything from it. I just like to point out and scoff at irrational bullshit from time to time. And the "launcher warring" that goes on in all these topics fits that bill (though it's less true back and forth 'warring' and more just Steam zealots fallout out of their chairs in dismay about Valve having any form of competition of any kind).

What’s the game about? What is it? Why am I supposed to care? Who is this Kojimi cat anyhow and why am I hearing about him so much these days?

Looking at it at the level is very short sighted. This is about mass consumption. Video gaming is a multi billion dollar industry. If I can get X game on Y platform that was on Z platform, what is the point in owning Z platform?

Supposedly you connect people and places. The more I see of it the more I think of Death Stranding as yet another dime a dozen action-adventure game with shooting elements and a half-assed story that won't make any sense. It looks kinda pretty though.

Hell, if it weren't for Kojima being attached to it like a malignant blob and the somewhat-good graphics, this absolutely looks like a game that could've been stealthed on Steam and accumulate about a thousand sales and 12 reviews that rate it mediocre after a year or so.

Almost bought on ps4. Ha ha thank God. Now I need to wait for next year and play on pc
It will probably be epic exclusive on pc.. Just get it on ps4 now and be done with it. You can always SELL the game when You finish it.
 
Why does he appease to the PC Masterbating Race? He should've kept it on consoles.

Ahem....

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.
I will never install epic, origin, uplay or battle.net launchers (really, I've still resisted it and if needed bought those games on console) Gog, steam and xbox for windows gamepass is the only thing I accept.
But I would take sony exclusives launcher.

I dont understand why sony let this game go on PC with 5 in the horizon

Should ve let this stays ps4 with a posible ps5 version someday

death stranding on ps5 that would surely sells more units as people expected a graphical upgrade

Now with PC version confirmed people will be happy with PC version and dont need to buy it on nextgen
And why is that a problem?

Shit. I almost wish this were announced after the PS4 launch. Now I need to debate with myself whether or not to wait.
