I feel like it's worth pointing out that in the past, TC has shown an utter incomprehension of what studios & IPs Sony owns (doesn't know Sony own ND, MM or Santa Monica) so this thread doesn't really surprise me. He also hates Sony. So there's that.

/Thread. Sony don't use the "Only on Playstation" anymore for any games.

I'm sure Death Stranding is Kojima's IP... the "Created" hints to that too.

He is the owner.

Whilst that maybe the case a lot of people are confusing when Kojima said we wanted the game on PC before he found an engine with when he found one that Sony owns and obviously suddenly stopped talking about a PC version.

Your PC dream is gonna be pretty hard, just sayin'.

 

[Fuz]

PC version in the future. Who knows?

I do.

PC version in the future.

 

[majestix1988]

I do.

PC version in the future.

i guess we need first to see its performance first on first week release if this popular sony will ask kojima for it or something good

 

[ethomaz]

Sony literally said Last of Us 2, death stranding and Ghost of Tsushima were first party titles on E3

They said "first on Playstation" at reveal for Death Stranding... there is even two interviews with Andrewn and Kojima that they confirmed that.

Death Stranding is timed-exclusive for PlayStation that was clear since reveal (2015)... it had no double about that.

 

[ethomaz]

I'm only PlayStation

Oh, I wasn't actually referring to you. I was talking to the ever waiting PC crowd in general.

Maybe it'll be released for PC, who knows. It certainly won't release on Xbox since its using the Decima Engine.

 

[nowhat]

This is clearly the result of lack of online leadership.

 

[nowhat]

Maybe it'll be released for PC, who knows. It certainly won't release on Xbox since its using the Decima Engine.

And porting it to PC would be different, because.... both use DirectX and a Windows-based OS?

 

[scalman]

yes its not official game reveal trailer or smt its just release date reveal trailer why it must have that logo? it will come eventually on PC i guess which is best news .
no matter how you look at it , it will be only on playstation. deal with it

 

[Geki-D]

And porting it to PC would be different, because.... both use DirectX and a Windows-based OS?

Sony created and own Decima.

 

[nowhat]

Sony created and own Decima.

Well Guerrilla, but that's my point exactly. A PC port is as likely as an Xbox port. Which is to say, none.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Everybody: Death Stranding actually coming out and in less than 6 months!
Literally no one: No exclusive logo, sony not up to the task

 

[demigod]

They would need to port the engine first to Windows which probably won't happen, but yeah you're right.

 

[nowhat]

Oh come on, SlashBringingHasher will surely find something to complain about, no matter how irrelevant.

 

[Mochilador]

Epic Game Store exclusive on PC.

 

[manfestival]

I dont believe exclusives are real things anymore unless done by 1st party or under partially by another brand that Sony has exclusive rights on(spiderman).

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

OP is lowkey thirsty for some Kojima-ass in the form of Death Stranding

In all seriousness though, wasn't a PC version of Death Stranding always on the table? There's definitely not going to be an Xbox version (thank god), but a PC version within a year or two is not out of the question.

 

[NahaNago]

I always thought this was coming to pc. I always figure these days unless it is made by Sony then it is probably coming to pc someday (except for Spiderman).

 

[Daylife]

Who gives a shit?

 

[Mr Hyde]

I´m smelling a release for Game Boy Color next year.

 

[Dabigkahuna76]

I hope it comes to PC. I don't want to have to buy a ps4 pro just to play this game.

Might as well wait for the ps5

 

[Gamernyc78]

sony buys a studio lmao? have you seen how safe Shawn Layden plays out the game? he will not do that. they will most definitely not acquire shit because they are not upto the task.

also they own the IP. so its not like thats the reason why. they owned the IP to QD games. and they are on PC.

You act like Sony wasn't buying studios before Microsoft decided to follow suite because they've been getting their ass kicked lol Stop the bs bro. Not saying they'll buy Kojima but stop the nonsense lol

"up to the task" what does that even mean?!? "lmao" i don't understand this tone LOL Wasn't there a thread here, very recently, with a quote from someone at Sony stating they plan on "expanding" some current teams and possibly purchasing a few studios.

 

[its_justJEFF]

It was such a weird statement. He seem mad AF about the idea of Sony buying a studio, let alone Kojima's studio. Must really want to play Death Stranding.

 

[Holammer]

Sony should release Playstation Store for PC already. 90-95% (a very scientific estimate) of all the titles on PS4 already have PC versions anyway.
They would reach a lot of peeps that don't care for another console or crazy persons like meself that only bought one for Bloodborne.

And what's the point of buying a console anymore if the exclusives are available on PC? The last console that did that it's not in a good shape, compared to PS4 or Switch

 

[CyberPanda]

I dunno. Maybe Sony can make more money by releasing on both?

I think he means for third party games.

It isnt a terrible idea honestly, but the time for it to happen has past.

 

[Holammer]

I doubt people will flip their 300$ consoles in the trash and get "2000$" PCs if they did. They reach a new audience that is used to digital distribution and they don't make the big bucks on hardware anyway.

 

[Orenji Neko]

If the game is good, and it comes out on PC, I'll definitely look into getting it. Kojima's team is very, very good at PC work as shown by Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain. Those games look fantastic, have great additional effects, and run like smooth as butter (even on modest machines) thanks to some great optimization. I'd have no reservations about supporting that.

 

[Fahdis]

These are not Sony IP.

Sony IP is when Sony hold or have the license for the IP... Demon's Souls, Spider-man, Bloodborne, etc... are Sony IPs... the devs needs Sony approval do use that name.

Flower, Journey, Dead Stranding (?), etc are 3rd-party IPs that have a exclusive deal with Sony... outside that deal/contract the 3rd-party can do what they wants with the name.

[Shakka43]

MediEvil is Sony IP.

Not the same.

So is this one. The game appearing on PC wouldn't be too out of the ordinary though seeing as Journey, Detroit: BH and the other QD games have been given the pass.

Sony and Quantic Dream break the exclusive deal and I'm sure Quantic Dreams holds the intelectual property of the three games and that is why they were launched on PC.

You can say it is a similar case as Destiny.

That really doesn't make sense.
It was published and trademarked by Sony.
Developed by QD.

I'm sure they are testing the PC side at this point in time, in case PSNOW doesn't work out next gen.

 

[molasar]

Hypothetically speaking if Death Stranding comes to PC, what engine Kojima Productions is going to use?
It will be interesting to see a Decima engine evolving into two versions if KP has a right to source code. One version under Guerrilla Games for PS5 and the second one under KP into cross platform built similar to Fox Engine.
I would prefer them to start working on another IP and just outsource ports instead.

Sony is not publshing it on PC lol

They are self-publishing.
"The most important evolution for Quantic Dream, however, is that we are no longer a developer working with a publisher. Starting with the PC versions of Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human, we will be self-publishing all our titles. "

QD was happy to not need a publisher to release their games on PC.

You can read more here: https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/20/...c-pc-store-detroit-beyond-heavy-rain-gdc-2019

It is a move that David Cage and Guillaume de Fondaumière were trying for 13 year and finally they had the change to make it a real.

It is clear, from the PC releases, that they own all their IPs and they self-publish them.

 

[kyoji]

See.. this is why I own a playstation.
I never have to be worried or concerned (like pc "master race" ) plebs or other consoles if I will be able to play a game that I want. ill be playing Death stranding day 1.... exclusive to ps4/5 or not. No waiting, hoping, and or guessing months or years down the line for a port.

Did I say Sony IS publishing? I said it WAS published by.
Either way, Sony still owns the IP. They can self publish but they can't sell the IP without Sony's permission.

That makes no sense... they says in their interview that they can self-publish all their titles... that means they own their IPs from now.
Of course Sony could have a deal and hold the publishing rights of the PlayStation versions... so they can relaunch them for PS5 or something like.
And I believe Sony only accept that with another contract saying they can't publish on Xbox platforms.

But QD is independent... they can do what they want with their titles... they own their games.

The cannot own the IP when something like this shows up: “Detroit Become Human” is a trademark of Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe".
It states it clearly, otherwise, there was no legal requirement for it to be there.
You are partially correct that they can self-publish but with an exclusive contract on the PC Storefront with SIE.
QD has always been independent as a 3rd Party.

That is not what they told in the interview.

They said they had to use a Publisher (Sony) for these 13 years and now they are finally free from Publishers.
So they were not independent from Publisher.
Now they are.

I still believes they own all their IPs now like the interview hints at... just that the last registered trademark was done by Sony so the next one will be by Quantic Dream.

BTW Heavy Rain is already in the name of Quantic Dream.

Check Flower on Steam, it’s not published by Sony but they own the IP.

 

[Pallas]

If Sony owned the actual rights, wouldn’t they list it as such? Like Spider-Man, Days Gone on that posted picture. It feels odd that they left it out if the IP is owned by Sony.

Unless that picture is either old or not official.

 

[PennywisetheDancingClown]

Probably just an oversight, but potentially a sign that a PC version is coming.

 

[spawn]

It could possibly end up on PC. I believe Sony is funding the game and they're using the Horizon engine built by Guerrilla games which is sony owned so I doubt it ends up on Xbox

I have a million reasons (outnumbering Playstation, Xbox, exclusives) to not own nor spend any money on a Playstation. Actual PC Master Race members don't hope, wait, or guess for games as we have more than enough, but we'll gladly support any good games that cross over. If not then nothing gained, but certainly nothing lost.

Maybe it's a similar case to Mass Effect?!
