Speculation on Death Strandings exclusivity are always the least controversial threads about the game.

For what it's worth, Shawn Layden said that Sony is open to PC ports of their MP games/software.

DS supposedly has some new form of MP gameplay. Hence why it's possible Sony will release it on PC as well.
lmao
i can guarrantee to you that the MP shawn was referring to was not of this kind.

If you want to play Death Stranding than don't play it at all. Makes sense.

LOL!

Alright, fuck it. Sony has no idea what it is doing with branding with Playstation.

User warned: platform wars
Sony paid the big bucks for the re-exclusivity to spite the PC gamers.

Good job Sony for putting those pesky PC gamers in their place.

The fact that there is this much bizarre intrigue regarding the consoles Death Stranding is releasing on makes me want to believe Kojima is handling this aspect as well

Isn't Sony funding it? Why would anyone think it's coming to PC in that case? That's not how Sony functions, the only stuff they bring to PC is SOE games.
Detroit isn't a SOE game.

And sure, QD might not be working with Sony any more but that's irrelevant as Sony funded the game, owns the IP and publishing rights.

Edit: Again, disclaimer: I don't think DS is coming to PC. Just correcting false claims.

thanks, is there video or anything or just that? just wondering what the context of didnt really answer it is

I googled it and apparently Tribeca is a film festival and he got interviewed there. You see a #Tribeca 2019 hastag there in that tweet.

As for the context, its staying mum probably or he couldn't answer that question at all. As far as i know, it was a written interview.

There's still a PC version down the line unless they explicitly say there won't be one, and guess what? They haven't explicitly said so. That exclusivity sticker means fuck all.

To be clear, he was talking about multiplayer-focused games. Like if they bought a company that's working on or upkeeping a PS4/PC multiplayer game they're not going to make the studio cancel the PC version because that would kill the multiplayer community.
lmao

Do we know if DS isn't that type of game?

I can't recall it being labeled as a SP-centric game.

That's what Kojima had said
Didnt he said that years ago before Sony made the deal with him? The game is running on Decima engine. Does decima engine ever got ported to PC? I mean everething is possible, but is better wait for oficial anouncements than pick up something that was said before Sony had a partnership deal, and make that as certain.

Same discussion over and over. People want to focus on labelling when labelling isnt the reason why.

Dont forget to pretend "that it was obvious" "we knew before" if it happens.

That doesn't definitively say exclusively on PS4.

Still coming to PC until it isn't...

It'll probably come to pc eventually. As the OP put it, the branding is unreliable. So why would anyone think it would only be on PS when the labeling in gamescom says so.

That said if you want to play DS just play it on PS4. No telling how long you'd have to wait for the pc version. At this point it could be 6 months or 10 years. No telling.

How is it settled when the OP says it's meaningless?

And:

Plenty more where that came from too.

DS probably isn't coming to PC any time soon though.
Stop bringing Quantic Dreams games in here... these were a special case I am telling you. It was just a "good will" way for Sony to burn "bridges" with QD. It is not for nothing that Sony dropped publishing their next game and that QD needed to seek funding from another company. Last year's drama before launch was the last straw. People forgot all the other drama situations QD brought Sony (i.e. Beyond Two Souls's naked Ellen Page scandal model discovered in the game's data) 😑😶

Usually I'd prefer to play on PC but even if this ever does come to PC I'm just gonna get it on ps4.

That way I can buy it second hand and get rid of it when I'm done. Not giving Kojima any of my money and if I can help someone else play it without having to buy it new then great!

Instead of 3 people buying it new then only 1 person will but 3 will still get to play it. Less money going to Kojima the better.

It's an exception, Sony aren't putting it on PC either, just letting Quantic Dreams port it and publish it and their other 2 games over to PC. Likely as a goodwill gesture.
Yes, not the only exception though as we've seen with Journey etc. But the argument some are making is that DS is also an exception. Albeit if it were never announced for PC in the first place then this wouldn't even be a discussion, nor would the exclusive labelling be under such scrutiny. But I'm sure PC hasn't been mentioned since the initial partnership was announced, and the agreement could easily have changed since then.
