Ah, well It doesn't really matter as I can just watch it on youtube and get everything out of it if it is the same as Dear Esther.
Did anyone here even read as far as the big quote blob next the first proper paragraph?
The guy's not leaving PC because he's pulling a Fish or something, he lacked more funding than he thought he could achieve by running to Kickstarter or something, so Sony recruited him for their PS4 indie launch lineup.
By this he's hoping to gain enough financial stability to not be tethered to specific publishers or systems in the future.
[QUOTE=Sokrates;41926105]Well fuck you too[/QUOTE]
Yeah, right? Fuck him for making a deal with Sony so he could make the game he really wants to make. And fuck those Bayonetta devs for making a WiiU-exclusive sequel, right?
The should just release the map for Gmod.
Then we can all make [I]our own[/I] bad stories and voiceovers instead.
I'd get it just to look at the scenery. I mean, that's why I got Dear Esther.
Quality reporting.

#everybodysgonetotherapture will be PS4 only at launch. That's not an absolute no to PC, but it's not planned right now.

Oh no how will i walk around and listen to a bad high school creative writing submission!
Oh well, we have enough artsy fartsy indie games on the PC.
Why is everyone acting like a massive prick, their reasons are valid. Stop acting like entitled babies.
Does anyone have the image with the 4channer who makes up an over-detailed, convoluted line of text and has people from the thread believe it's actually in the game?

[quote]When I asked if everybody who matters – you know, PC gamers – would eventually go to the rapture, Pinchbeck offered a brief, unfortunate reply: “No, it’ll be a PS4 exclusive.”[/quote]
Well that's disappointing.
Meh, wasn't a fan of Dear Esther and if this is the same, then I don't really care.
All that had going for it was graphics.
They are a timed exclusive for PS4 because Sony gave them lots of funding
Why is this a shock to anyone?
Also funny you all bashed dear esther when everyone here loved it when it came out commercially and back when it was a (pretty much identical, but shitty-looking) HL2 mod

How do you know the same people in this thread were part of the group that loved Dear Esther when it first came out? Facepunch is not a hive mind (as much as we'd all like to think so) there's just a thing called popular opinion. That doesn't mean it's unanimous opinion.
god forbid something isn't on PC

Of course not
I'm just saying, anytime dear esther is mention now its full of people saying how its stupid but back when dear esther was an actual mod and progress was being made on the commercial version everyone was saying how much they loved it
You can easily infer what the general opinion of X item is on FP by determining what the majority of posters think of that item. It isn't by complete chance that back during Dear Esther's release and prior to that, that majority of posts were very positive towards the game and that by complete chance they happened to be majority negative now.
Why this is the case is the variable. Could be a whole bunch of new users that started being active after the release of DE don't appreciate the kind of game DE is, while the users that were active when DE was still in development were more open to it and intimate with the original mod. Could also be people liked it when it came out but then after playing a whole bunch of other stuff since its release decided that it wasn't as cool or good as that other stuff so they don't like it anymore. Or people are just stupid and decide something is dumb because of popular opinion around the net. Or something else, whatever.
I could have pirated Dear Esther or just watched the gameplay on Youtube like everyone else, but I instead bought the game to support the developers.
This is such a kick in the balls.
I guess it's not hard to make a decision like that when Sony is waving a big wad of cash in your face.

pretty much this
if this thread was about a game being exclusive to PC, the dumb ratings would be winner ratings

well it's just that dear esther was a PC game and not everyone who supported them [on the pc] will support them on the PS4. i know i won't be getting this game now because i'm not personally interested in a PS4, but i would have bought the game on the PC. i bought dear esther the day it came out and really liked it, so i'm disappointed to be missing out on this title.

[quote]“Dear Esther fans were very much in our thoughts, but enough of us are multi-platform gamers to make this work for us,” explained Pinchbeck. “And we’re in this for the long game, so I can’t see us not returning to PC, or doing whatever we can to keep that fan base as we owe them a great deal.”[/quote]
Game development is a long, expensive, arduous process. I don't fault them for going PS4 exclusive to finance the game; the future of the game on PC is not set in stone.
As somebody who paid for the game to help out the Devs , I feel like I've just been slapped in the face. Is this how you repay your fans?
Fuck you assholes too. You've assumed that none of us would also pay for this game without even asking us. Goddamn it I'm mad.
I wonder if this will be the future of indie games, being exclusive to one platform due to being paid to be like that. I wonder if it will get so bad that Valve will have to start buying off indie devs since indie games helped made Steam explode in popularity so much in the past 2-3 years
Well thats a thing im not gonna be playing then.

I seriously doubt it. Not with things like Kickstarter and Greenlight.
I'd rather have this pushed back if it meant Amnesia arrives on schedule this time.
They've already got a preorder up on Steam, but you never know.
