Kotaku @kotakuHorizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC, sources tell Kotaku bit.ly/2QY9spq- And to all the naysayers who kept telling me it'd NEVER happen... There was a rumor about it a few weeks ago based on some "misspoke" by someone related to Sony at a gaming convention or something like that. Then someone from Sony claimed it was "fake news" when asked about it. Now Schreier says "my sources tell me it's true". Drama much?

Well - At least we PC gamers can have some hope. I would love to play that game, but do not want to buy a console to be able to do so. That would make the game a bit too much expensive in my humble opinion.
And - Yes. As a lot of PC's have some good hardware, I think the game in general could be improved. That said - We have also seen some terrible game ports in the past, so... It depends...

Yeah I didn't wantto buy the PS4 jus tfo rthat game and even I had got it I'm not sure I'd have been able t oplay it properly with my disabilty and everything as games like that are difficult for me on a controller. I can do them on mouse and keyboard fine but not controller. I can just about play Fifa omn a controller but that's about it. Als oby the time htis game came out the XB1 had already won me over withthe Halo MCC s I wsa keen t ogive Halo a go seeing as I'd nevre played most of the Halo games before and i twas always a series that intrigued me durin gm yti,me with the previous Playstations ut because a tthe time neither XB1 or PS4 were backwards compatible and none of the PS4 library really caught m yattenion I chose the XB1 to give Halo a go when the MCC was announced. Though I mus tadmit that's making it's move onto PC as well now.

One of the reasons why Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto left Bungie was because of the extended periods of crunch that negatively impacted his life.
"One of the reasons I left Bungie--and I know one of the reasons people from the industry have joined us here at V1--is that many of us have seen the bad side of extended crunch periods that would go on for months and months ... and what kind of human toll that took," Lehto explained.
Bungie is known for its periods of crunch. Engineering boss Luke Timmins recalled to GI.biz in 2017 how the 18 months leading up to the release of Halo 2 in 2004 were "brutal" and nearly destroyed Bungie. The developer was crunching for nearly the entire 18 months, he said, and during that time, developers were spending at least 50 hours per week.
"The Halo 2 crunch almost killed Bungie as a company," he said. "It is the most I've ever seen humans work in a year and a half. It was brutal."
Bungie is said to have adopted policies and practices after that to lessen the instances of crunch, but it still happened. For the first Destiny, there was a "department-wide crunch" for the engineering team, Timmins said, though the team never had to crunch on any of the game's numerous expansions. Destiny 2 also had no "full, enforced crunch," he said.
In 2019, following Bungie's split from Activision for the Destiny series, Bungie announced it would delay a Destiny 2 patch so its developers did not have to crunch.www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-co-creator-left-bungie-due-in-part-to-the-lif/1100-6472943/

Kotaku @kotakuHorizon: Zero Dawn is coming to PC, sources tell Kotaku bit.ly/2QY9spq- And to all the naysayers who kept telling me it'd NEVER happen... I just noticed - why oh why cant get game designers archery right? The arrow should be on the other side of the bow. Also, you hold the string with the tips of your fingers, not hook it with your joints like that. That would result in a ''plucking''-release which throws off the arrow in unpredictable ways. The release is like the trigger pull with a rifle, ultimately it decides where your shot goes so it must be done cleanly and smoothly without moving the implement at all. Also another minor nitpick - the draw must be consistent and repeatable so you anchor it depending on your anatomy, for example I draw till the string touches the corner of my mouth, some people draw to their chin or even cheekbone. In the picture she is doing it completely wrong, she has the string hovering in the air. You cannot get a repeatable draw like that. Also the eye must be as close to the arrow as possible, you'll hit better shooting like that. I do a lot of archery (and target shooting with firearms) and this just annoys me to no end. Here I am shooting my 75lbs composite bow, thats how it should look like. /rant

Daniel Ahmad @zhugeexRockstar Games just sent out some PR about new records it has achieved this decade. New record for number of players in both GTAV and RDR2 this December. Both games have sold in over 150 million units combined. ir.take2games.com/node/26566/pdfBased on most recent numbers. This would put GTA V around 120m sell in and RDR2 around 30m sell in. Roughly.

The great PC distribution platform wars of 2019 did not do consumer spending on PC content any favors btw. Priorities of enhancing consumer experience & choice and minimizing confusion were all deemphasized in 2019, contributing to lower overall consumer spend on PC content.Thanks Epic

Well - That was to be expected. A lot of gamers do not buy anything on the Epic store, and just wait until the game will be sold on their preferred platform. I am one of them. I like Borderlands for instance, but will not buy it until it's on Steam. I rather buy something else in stead for that money (and that's not always another game). As long as a game is on the Epic store I won't buy it. I have a big enough backlog, and there are still games I will buy on my preferred store (GOG).
So yes - A lot of sales will be "chopped smaller" at the day of release. Lots of people will go: "nahh... I will buy it later.... Maybe...".
