Death Stranding Director's Cut Launching on iPhone 15 Pro and Apple Silicon Macs on January 30

[XboxEvolved]

Fantastic and beautiful game. Really far out there and abstract but I absolutely love it. I haven't got a PS5 yet so I haven't tried out the Directors Cut but I hear there are some VR Missions type stuff in it (like MGS VR missions) so I definitely would love to check that out.

People that haven't played it yet worrying its to dark, don't worry to much about that because there is a lot going on in the game there are weird deliveries, funny moments, crazy bonkers moments, cool ass moments with the music and scenery blending together, and when you beat the game and you are just trying to do all the rest of deliveries it ends up being a very relaxing experience. Hopefully it is able to pull off at least PS4 quality on my M1, that seems to be about what I get out of RE Village and RE4.

This game is so weird. However, to be honest, apocalypse UPS work was way better than I expected.

Yeah, Death Stranding was the game I never knew I needed. I’m looking forward to the sequel which I hope gets released next year, but that might be wishful thinking given that it’s a Hideo Kojima game.

It's a great Kojima game. Which means, may be too weird for some people. Personally I enjoyed it a lot, possibly not only because of the weirdness but also because it was NOT shooter #24857 of Q1 of the year.

Game micro review aside, I wonder who this will sell to. Gamers have already bought and finished it either on consoles or later on the Windows port. And as a gamer who owns multiple platforms, I'm not going to buy a mac-only game on the app store when most multiplatform games have every PC platform available on Steam, all for a single price.

Nope. I'm.not.spending money on games for iOS again until Apple start instituting a compatability layer for games so all the games ever made for iOS can be played. These chips are easily powerful enough and I still have games like Bioshock I can no longer play due to iOS changes.

I'm curious about this game and if it was on Steam, I'd buy it more quickly since I could play it on Steam Deck or Windows, if the Mac version didn't work out.

As this is a 3 year old version of a 5 year old game, I'm hoping that the performance is better than good. Of course, when it first arrives, it's not going to be as smooth as it should be.

I noticed that people on another web site were downgrading it, but I think that they were mostly doing it because it will be available on Mac now.

so.. if I have this in Steam already for my Steamdeck - will I just be able to install it on my Mac or will the mac version be exclusive to the Mac App store?

I was looking forward to this one, but the app store won't let me purchase it. Says it can't complete the purchase due to lack of free disk space, even with 140gb free. Really dumb.

same

If this is a universal binary(I say this because I saw that it is, but can't verify), it will be exclusive to the mac app store.

I have never been interested in this game, but I have a M3 Pro Macbook Pro and a Ryzen 5900, Nvidia 3090 gaming PC. I'd rather just pick it up cheaper on PC.

I know you plan on waiting but keep in mind the price probably won’t stay the same since this is preorder pricing.

You're right, I ended up just going ahead with the pre-order. Crossing my fingers it runs well on my iPad Pro.

My partner enjoyed this game, and spent a lot of time on it, though she found it weird to be playing a walking simulator. I saw some of the cut scenes that were cool. Didn't have much desire to play it myself, though- very few games seem entertaining to me as an adult. I don't know if this is because games became so big and slow and open ended, or because I just grew out of them. I miss the days of the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis! 😅😅😅

ah thanks matey

My statement holds true...I played the PS4 version, never played the PS5 upgrade, although I did buy it if I recall correctly.

Aye you're right I was wrong, I didn't realise it had come out on the PS4 first.

I began downloading it on my Mac 5 hours ago. It's blazing down at 894kb/sec. 18 GB of 79 so far.... Wake me when it's done.
