I want to know if the pc sales make the game a "Success" now

[JayXan]

Theres mixed official statements as if the game was a "Success" on the playstation, but I havent heard anything viable having to do with the pc sales? I really would like to see this game have a sequel, or some good dlc or something.

Has anybody seen anything on this topic?

I don't think anyone here cares if a game was success on Nintendo Gameboy.

See... Valkyria Chonicles was a black sheep on gameboys but once it reached the audience that appreciates an almost masterpiece stuff instead of blindly follow shallow mainstream called PC audience, VC sales got so good the game got another sequel that wasn't a timed exclusive but got released on PC the first day. And it was success.

I would also love to see a sequel.
DLC? Please don't. DLC mania ruined videogames.

norman reedus said in an interview kinda vaguely about having conversations with kojima over future death stranding work. can't remember the exact interview... was one of those random facts and questions interviews and he was asked about what's going on in his life at the moment with work.

[joxertm22]

Reedus said he got a call from Del Toro who told him something like "look, a certain japanese guy will call you in a few minutes and whatever he says, you just answer with - yes!".
Then Kojima called.
And Reedus had no idea what's Kojima talking about (imagine if someone was trying to explain this game to you before you finished it) but he answered what Del Toro suggested. Yes.

The rest is history.

DS certainly would make for an interesting TV Show

Obviously these numbers are very skakey but...

For context a quick google suggested Death Stranding sold 3 million copies on ps4 (which didn't seem like a big success to Kojima tho i heard the same thing, that it was technically a success) and development cost was around $100 million.

SteamSpy estimates 500k - 1m people purchased DS on steam

500k x 80$ - steam's 30% cut = $28 million
1m x 80$ - steam's 30% = $56 million

I don't really know how a dev company would see this in terms of success, but it doesn't seem to bad to me

Most importantly though.. DS got more likes from us :)

8k ps4 positive reviews vs 10k positive steam reviews so far :)

Wait if the dev cost was 100m , and the money they get back doesnt superseed that, doesn't that mean it's not a success? In financial terms?

The number's i did the math for was the pc version the development cost i showed was for the whole thing not just the pc port, I didn't include the est $210 million that the 3 million ps4 copies generated.

My main reason for trying to talk about this is to know if I should let myself get hyped for more death stranding stuff, this is nearing the best games ive ever played and ive played a lot currently and in the past before steam(You can see by my steam profile)

From what I can gather, it seems like it's either more DS or a horror game.

As much as I'd like an successor to this, consider kojima in the past.
Read up what he stated during mgs4 development, developing another successor for a series he said he'd like it to be finished with after the third game.

My word is as wortless as any posts on this or any other forum, it is just an opinion. But if you can spare the time, read it (if you haven't by now).
