DaCostaBR: Considering how awful their ports tend to be, I won't regret having purchased it on PS4 quite yet.
Even if you end up regretting about it, they certainly deserve support after 10+ years working on it. And you can always sell/trade it, there's a lot of interest for this fantastic game.

MadalinStroe: Unless I'm mistaken, the only reason Durante fixed the original Dark Souls, when it first came out, was because he really liked the gameplay. Seeing how similar this is to Dark Souls, I'd be surprised this not repeating, should the port be bad.
He works for XSEED now, though. There could be contractual reasons why he can't do that. I'm not saying there ARE those reasons, just that it could be an issue.

I don't buy physical copies. They just become clutter.

Does he? I know he did some contractor work on 3-4 games for XSEED, completely fixing their PC releases, but I never heard anything about him actually being hired by them. Didn't he say he did all his modding/fixing as a hobby, in his free time, while he actually has a paying job?

Even so, should he be employed by XSEED, whatever he does in his free time should be of no concern to XSEED. He could fix Nioh, if it ends up in need of fixing, like he did for the first Dark Souls, by releasing the fix on moddb.

Except when you work for one company, doing work for a competitor is generally frowned upon at best and explicitly forbidden in no compete clauses of contracts at worst. I'm not saying that any such nonsense exists, again. I'm merely stating that it could theoretically present an obstacle.

Yeah, seems high, considering it's "only" a PS4 game. What's up with the 100 GB HDD space requirement? Witcher 3 ( sans expansions ) is only like 30 GB, and that game is huge! As far as I know, Nioh isn't even an open world game -- it seems to have small levels, only connected via some mission map menu.

I mean, it's great to see more former console "exclusives" arrive on PC, and Nioh is a good game... But let's wait and see how the PC version turns out.

You're losing great deals, then.
A few months ago (may) I got a copy of Fallout 4, much cheaper than the price asked in the Playstation store.
Some titles are 3x cheaper, than the price asked for the digital version.

Along with the advantage of not risking to lose access to them due to an accidental (or proposital. Let's say you break a term and they find you) suspension in the online service, you spend less money, and if I ever wish to sell my console, I can sell a lot of my games too.
Don't misjudge, I've no problems with digital games, I got some (if I had a hatred for them, I'd not use Steam or Gog, after all).

And I don't get it, what hurts your experience with the game, when they're simply allowing a wider audience to have the chance of enjoying Nioh?
The fact someone (in the future) may be playing a improved or worse release in a different platform is something that will cripple your interest in playing the game you bought?
If so, next time unplug the ethernet cable / disable your wi-fi and beat the bloody game, so you don't freak out your brain, worrying about tiny things!

Don't let your doubts ruin your entertainment, DaCostaBr.

Se cuida.
I'm glad Nioh is coming to the PC, so that the fans could purchase it on the platform. But talking about Koei Tecmo, if they are going to arrive bearing gifts to GOG, I'd also love the idea of Gust's studio's line of games, like Nights of the Azure and the Atelier series, transported over here, amongst the titles in their catalogue that they could bring over.
i keep thinking that says Noah. :P

No, I'm not. There's no used market where I live, and shipping is costly.

I've never wished to sell my consoles. I still own my Mega Drive.

...what?
The game actually ran at 60 fps on PS4, which is a rare sight.
Even if they don't port it well, it'll at least not have a 30 fps lock.

... 100 gigs of hard drive space though? We got data caps over here, and 100 gigs is gonna be a tenth of what I can afford each month.
The game (haven't downloaded the latest patch yet, still on version 1.11) takes up 47GB on my PS4. FFXV takes up 67GB, and the PC version coming out next year is requiring 150+. So 100GB isn't really surprising if everything is uncompressed and slightly tuned up for the PC (big assumption here since it's Tecmo Koei we're talking about, but still).

Hoping for a simply "good" port (I'll live with a cap of 60 if it's functional) so I don't have to bother getting the Season pass on PS4.

The game (both on PS4 and PS4 Pro) gave players the option to play at 60FPS, 30 with better graphics, or something in-between (variable). Still dropped at times in certain parts on the base PS4, but more or less still performed well enough.

My experience has been the vast majority of the time (and I mean vast majority), I find better deals digitally than with physical copies of games. There are, of course, the odd outliers, but they're rare. Talking PC here, though.
Regardless of the distribution platform, Nioh on PC is a great news.

The only bitter part is the mentioned minimum system requirements. As a proud GTX 770 owner I find these high af, and just plain taunting. Further optimization is a must.
