Is it really, though? Detroit, Heavy Rain, Journey, PlanetSide 2 and Beyond: Two Souls are all Sony IPs but are on PC

Death Stranding coming to PC through EGS is just another branch on the pile tbh

Actually Heavy Rain isn't a Sony owned IP.

Planetside 2 was a SOE owned IP who then became Daybreak games.

Them also owning an IP doesn't restrict them on PC, but it's less likely to do so.

Known from before the game's original announcement, but largely forgotten?

Kojima's PS4 Console Exclusive Will Come to PC
By Tamoor Hussain | December 16, 2015



Kojima added: "I will be taking on a new challenge by establishing my own independent studio, and I am thrilled to be able to embark on this journey with PlayStation, who I have continued to work with all these past years...I cannot wait to deliver, with PlayStation, a game that will become a compelling franchise."

In a Q&A also issued by the company, as published by Medium, it was revealed that Sony is not investing in Kojima Productions, and the unnamed game in question "is planned to become available on PC" after its PS4 release.

Not surprising if true, considering there were already things pointing at this back at the reveal.

I can't find the statement anymore, but i am sure Kojima said something to the effect of "platform exclusivs suck and he doesn't want his games to be exclusivs again" after the MGS5 launch.

The game page does have that ''Only on PlayStation'' tag

But these tags are more confusing than enlightening a lot of times, there's plenty of examples of not being accurate for both sides

so, will this be published by sony on PC? because sony owns the IP.

The game would simply be published by Kojima Productions, probably.

The Quantic Dream trio, Flower or Journey remains SIE IP (as stated in the copyrights) but SIE most likely does not want to send a strange message by publishing the games themselves for PC. So they let other publishers/studios handle it (Annapurna Interactive for Flower or Journey).

Going the Rockstar path.

1)Original release
2)PC release with added graphical features
3)Next Gen updated version with PC additions.

Remember that Nioh had this on it's game page too prior to being announced for PC. And we know it's not Only on Playstation. Personally wouldn't put much stock in it imo.

Looking at the current website, it's not there anymore lol.

I guess Kojima is the master of negotiation if he got a game fully owned, funded and marketed by Sony on PC, we'll see, either way more sales for the game which isn't a bad thing.

In fairness, PS4 is already at a place model ripping and data mining is already available and done. It's not as easy as PC, but it is far from impossible. If there's a year wait in-between, I actually expect the game will be datamined and the models ripped before it hits PC if that's a point of concern.

Oh shit, well it would be wise of Kojima Productions to enlist the legal power of Sony to protect these actor / model / director's likenesses.

The tags can be misleading indeed. What cant be misleading is PR for investors:

Sony Interactive Entertainment Unveils Hideo Kojima’s PS4 Console Exclusive Title Death Stranding

SAN MATEO, CA, June 13, 2016 – Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) today unveiled Hideo Kojima’s first Kojima Productions title DEATH STRANDING for PlayStation®4 (PS4™) and its first teaser trailer at the E3 2016 PlayStation Press Conference. As with all of his past masterpieces, the latest...

Console Exclusive was ALWAYS the wording.
And the deleted Medium QA always said it was coming.

IF it's coming to PC, I fully expect EGS exclusivity.

Maybe EPIC will have it's client not be a trash fire by the time it does come to PC, but I'm not holding my breath.

wish that when Kojima was specifically asked about this in April he would have said yes or no. maybe he can't because of contracts but that's shitty thing to do. give people information to make an informed purchase. don't trick people.

They aren't forgetting, they're in denial.
I've been expecting a year of exclusivity since that was announced. Like NieR:Automata, only worse. People said the PC version of that was cancelled too.
If it doesn't come to PC eventually? It's their loss. I'm not buying a PlayStation.

LOL, k. I'm sure Sony cares if YOU buy the game or not.
How you can compare NieR ( A Square Enix IP ) to this and also call it "only worse", is beyond me.

Exactly, its why I said these tags are not a good way to measure anything. There are games that dont feature the tag that are only on PS too. Its kind of a mess on Sony's side really.

Kojima is good for adding extra graphic features for PC version as we know from MGSV so it will be even more amazing on PC, plus high fps, res... Damn!!!

I'm not surprised at all to be honest. I have a feeling more from Sony will come to PC via licensing deals egardless if Sony owns the IP or not.

Facts.

Honestly I'm really tired of the secrecy surrounding platform exclusivity deals. This is the kind of thing that should be made clear to everyone. Third-party exclusives in general are just bleh.
