Death Stranding Director's Cut Dated for 24th September

did not expect that race mode lol.

Very much looking forward to it. Can’t wait to get stuck back in.

Race Mode doesn’t really fit to the setting.
60 Fps mode?

Will there be an upgrade path if you own it on PS4 Like Ghost of Tsushima?

Do they seriously expect us to buy every game again? This is really getting out of hand. Buying any game first time round seems like a mug's game now. I was about halfway through the PS4 version and looking forward to picking it up again on PS5, but now I just feel like an idiot for buying in the first time round.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk We don't know yet. Pre-orders go live in 20 minutes, so I'll try and have updated info shortly.

Never bought the original, I’m looking forward to this one.

With upgrade path, yes. As a new buy, no

Might be worth grabbing the OG on a sale, as there might be a similar upgrade path

why is this not hitting ps4?

@Porco So you buy a PS5

I am definitely buying this again.

Great for everyone that either loved the game on PS4 or want to get it on PS5.

If there’s no upgrade path and it’s $70, Sony can go f themselves.

If there is an DLC-update like GoT for people who own this game I might give it a try since I liked this game but if not I'll pass

It does look more fun than the original version, but I'm still a no go. Could be cool for the folks that liked the original though. Plus the same day as Lost Judgment? I'm definitely taking Lost Judgment!

@Nepp67 no I can't unless I Rob your ps5 to play it instead 🙄🙄

@Porco yeah I'm disappointed there is no PS4 version, guess when it comes to pc I'll play it on my gaming laptop instead

@Nepp67 that is too sleazy. even ghost of tsushima director's cut is getting a ps4 release. unless kojima is planning something radically different for the game and it cannot run on ps4, i cannot understand why this is. it's not like gamers (90% of them) will even be able to get their hands on a ps5 anyways so sony has more to lose than gain here when it comes to software sales.

@huyi yea. it is a poor judgement call by sony/kojima, particularly because many people won't have the ability to get a ps5 even if they want to. i very much doubt the director's cut cannot run on ps4.

Pre-Order is up. $50. It’s not $70 but I still ain’t buying it. Obviously if they didn’t announce an upgrade option, I’m guessing there isn’t one.

Wow this looks visually improved …like a lot.

It costs $10 according to the PS Blog to upgrade from the PS4 version.

Ok. I might do a $10 upgrade since there’s new content. Whew.

Never got around to buying this game. Guess I'll wait to buy the DC in my distant PS5 future.

Meh, looks as boring as ever to me. It's just not a game for me.

I hope everyone else enjoys it though. At least it's weird and unique, a fitting Kojima experience.

Wow, this is more content than I was expecting! Looks great!

@Old-Red - May I ask what you're referring to here? Because last I checked, most PS5 re-releases (e.g. FFVII, Nioh 2, Jedi: Fallen Order) offer a free upgrade for those who bought the PS4 version, and even in this case, it's only a small upgrade fee, not the price of a new game. The only cases I can think of where that happened was Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, and Nioh, and even then, the former was released at a reduced price, and the latter bundled with it's sequel.

Watched the trailer and I will get this again. Slight issue its releasing in September.

So now September has, to name a few:
Death Stranding Directors Cut
Deathloop
Lost Judgement
Ghostrunner (PS5 physical)
Argami 2
The Medium PS5
F.I.S.T

A little crowded is all im saying lol

Woah that looks like a totally different game to the one I remember! The combat was ok but there weren't too many options in the way of weapons and melee combat was fairly rudimentary. For $10, or whatever this costs in the UK, I'll definitely be picking this up.

With these sort of upgrades I really feel like the update to take advantage for the PS5 hardware should be free for people who already purchased the original game. It feels kind of like double-dipping, and doesn't come off well when Xbox's "smart delivery" essentially gives these sort of updates for free.

With that being said, I think charging for the new content feels fair, both here and with Ghost of Tsushima.
