50 eurobucks? That's nice of them to not release it at full price.

Heard the game is kinda mid tho.

edit: 180GB? Lmao what the fuck.

 

[Hudo]

Wow. I didn't expect this to happen. Also interesting to see that KT publish this themselves. I thought this game was bankrolled by Playstation.

 

[KyoZz]

Is this another souls-like or is it a more interesting game?

 

[mèx]

I was waiting for this. Instant bought.

 

[Kabelly]

Would you look at that

So glad

 

[rkofan87]

only 50$ wow

 

[Bridges]

Curious if this will make its way to competing platforms as well or if Sony has this locked down as a console exclusive

 

[amigastar]

What's DirectX 12 Ultimate? Is it some improved DirectX 12?

 

[Kacho]

Fucking awesome. I was literally googling the PC release date yesterday.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Wow. I didn't expect this to happen. Also interesting to see that KT publish this themselves. I thought this game was bankrolled by Playstation.

And thank god for that, no obligatory PSN account that way.

 

[Leo9]

Is the game better than GoT?
I found Ghost a bit boring.

 

[adamsapple]

What's DirectX 12 Ultimate? Is it some improved DirectX 12?

I think it means RT support.

 

[Kacho]

Main story takes a reasonable 20 hours to complete. Definitely playing this.

 

[Kurotri]

FINALLY! I've been waiting for this!

if you have a ps5 a demo is out

 

[baphomet]

I would say there's no possible way it's 180GB, but they typed it like that twice.

That's insane.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Day 0.

 

[ssringo]

I would say there's no possible way it's 180GB, but they typed it like that twice.

That's insane.

PS5 size is ~96GB so that PC size is likely just for the download/install process.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

This is a fun albeit janky slasher with some amazing moments. Don't miss it, PC brethren.

 

[MarV0]

120 fps support? We back in the dark ages or something?

240 fps minimum these days.

 

[Killer8]

Game is really great so I may double dip. Curious to see how performance will stack up as it was a bit of a mess on even the Pro.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Day 1 for Team Ninjer. I almost folded and bought this on ps5 multiple times.

 

[Facism]

incredible, and at a sane price. Will cop

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

So very close to the 1 year mark of the PS5 launch and having ultrawide and 120 fps support?

OK I will try it

 

[Nankatsu]

Always had interested on this game for PS5, but never pulled the trigger because it kind of perform bad.

Guess I'll pick it up down the road for PC now.

The more I game on PC, the less I care about my PS5

 

[JaksGhost]

Wow. I didn't expect this to happen. Also interesting to see that KT publish this themselves. I thought this game was bankrolled by Playstation.

Same situation as the Nioh series. Sony published the console version while KT self published the PC version.

 

[FeralEcho]

85 GB for a linear remake like Ninja Gaiden 2 Black,now 180GB for this... They're just taking the piss now aren't they?!

WTF happened to game optimization,Jesus today's devs suck!

 

[Gonzito]

I am in

 

[Gaiff]

Was the next in line for my Pro after completing Astro Bot, but I’ll hold off to see what the PC release is like.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm curious cause I did hear some good things about it. Though it appears compression is clearly not their strong suit.

 

[MarV0]

More Sony shovelware

My man I already told you to not post if you don't take your medicines beforehand

[ArtHands]

Why only 120fps? We ain’t console here

 

[rm082e]

I thought the demo on PS5 was good, but the frame rate was not. I've been holding out for a PC port. Glad I waited.

 

[Peroroncino]

It's a superb game, be sure to buy it you scallywags!

[Dr Cowley]

Is this game Nioh's combat without the Yokai? Day 1 if so

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Guess I'll pick it up down the road for PC now.

The more I game on PC, the less I care about my PS5

It will continue to perform bad, don’t worry

This studio is not known for awesome technical competency

 

[DarkstarRising13]

The funny thing is, this port is being released in the same month as DOA Assassin's Creed: Shadow.

 

[iorek21]

Is it good tho

 

[adamsapple]

I thought the demo on PS5 was good, but the frame rate was not. I've been holding out for a PC port. Glad I waited.

And the demo didn't cover the third act areas where the frame rate took a real dump.

Played it near to when it launched, not sure if a year's worth of patches has improved, but it was a notable chugger back then.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Interesting to launch so close to Assassin's Creed Shadows, but they're jumping ahead of them by a week.

 

[Firestartah]

9 days before AC Shadows. GET FUCKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEED. I hope Ubisoft burns and its IPs get sold to someone more sensible that has passion for things like Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell.

 

[Kvally]

Wow. I didn't expect this to happen. Also interesting to see that KT publish this themselves. I thought this game was bankrolled by Playstation.

??? PS is putting all their games on PC

 

[samoilaaa]

It will continue to perform bad, don’t worry

i didnt have problems with nioh or nioh 2 and i have a crappy cpu for gaming ( 3900x )

the game looks really interesting i think i will enjoy it a little more than ghost of tsushima because of the deeper combat

 

[DarkstarRising13]

It's well known that the game was not well-optimized on the base PS5. It's a shame it took for the PS5 Pro to release to allow it to run on a more stable framerate on PS5 Pro performance mode compared to base PS5's.

 

[T4keD0wN]

So this like Nioh, but without any of the interesting stuff?
