Our friends over at the Italian PC gaming website PC-Gaming.it have shared with us an interesting interview with Dying Light’s producer about this upcoming next-gen survival horror title. According to Dying Light’s producer, the PC version will be the definitive version of the game as ‘no other machine is as mighty a beast as a high-end PC.‘
What’s interesting, though, is his thoughts about the state of PC gaming. When asked about the PC gaming scene, Dying Light’s producer said that he just laughs at those who ‘for many years kept predicting it to be dead by now.’
“I smile with joy when I see its rapid development in recent years. And I laugh at those who for many years kept predicting it to be dead by know. The PC gaming has shed the majority of issues that plagued it for long time, its grow is extremely exciting, and the indie scene is the source of the most interesting ideas and concepts in gaming at the moment. What’s not to like, huh?!?!”
Interesting thoughts, though we kind of wonder why the Dead Island is still plagued with major issues that have not been resolved as of yet (yes, the ‘stuttering camera mouse movement’ is one of them). And will Dying Light suffer from the same issues as its predecessors?
Dying Light has been delayed to February 2015, so hopefully Techland will have more time to further polish all versions.
Enjoy (thanks John – who thanks ‘wdwzkey’ – for the heads up) and stay tuned for more!

GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE
Now with 234% more exlusives, 65% perfomance increase and ease of use and 134% higher than console metacritic rating scores.
True greatness awaits…ON PC!!
Im waiting for SSD prices to dropdown and sata express to get more performance on PCs, faster to null loading times. We got the graphics, we got the power, now we need fastest access to info in harddisks.
i am waiting for e3
Can’t wait for E3, hopefully some rumors come true, still wondering if microsoft plans to show anything at all for pc , one can only hope.
Glad to see there’s still some to argue in favour of PC gaming.
they said something about a popular strategy game come back, i hope they show a proper offline game with good campaign, perhaps AOE or AOM sequel. but not sure if they’re going to show it on E3, they talk about xbox’s a** and TV s*** in there
I find it very interesting that PC exclusives never get as much coverage as console games at E3, unless my memory is hazy.
Cause PC is a lot of companies, while consoles are just three. Maybe Nvidia or AMD could join some devs to give a proper showcase to PC exclusive, anyways E3 sucks!!
at least Sony knows how to put on a good show????
yeah, but it’s just a show, nothing more
Full of great games to be released; sure it may be just a show and you don’t know if the real thing will live up to the hype, but better we see it for what it is than be back in the old days of having know clue at all and forcing us to experiment and lay down cash, hoping the product is good and not total shit. Am I right, or Am I RIGHT?
the thrid one, it is wrong 😀 it was like that in the past 10 years , it only gets worst
Ok I’ll give you that
true
why would they?
Sony and ms spend millions to advertize their exlusives.
Did you see how insomniac gone to xbone?
It is all about money, sony and ms agree to fund those games only if they are “exlusives” to their console and advertize them so people will want to buy a console to play them. Basicly they use the “you see this? you cant have it” physchology which makes people to want something only because they cant have it, where if the game was multiplatform, it wouldnt be as important.
No one wants to be exlusive to any platform, console exlusives are paid by sony and ms while on pc no one owns the pc as a platform so no one pays to make games, it will be nice if nvidia or intel payed for development since they are both bigger than sony right now, but they already work close with developers on drivers and sell them hardware, so it is not happening.
Lol take a look at bayonetta 2, the first got low sales so the only reason 2 is happening is because nitendo is funding the development. Xbox and playstation owners start petitions because they want it toom but ofcourse nitendo wont give it to them. They need it to sell wiius
To get more coverage and have as much mainstream awareness as console gaming. They could become the big players and instead control the industry and not consoles. I’m sure every dev loves to get money as a big bonus, but there are of course those who do it solely for the money and fortune. And yeah, they gotta turn everyone into spoiled brats by being all flashy with it and cashing out for it out of popularity and not out of want for the games. What do you mean LOL at Bayonetta 2? You rather Bayonetta 2 happen than be on Wii U? Mind you, that the first one was excellent and the sequel will be no different no matter what platform is on. FYI, I wouldn’t care whether they decided to make it multiplatform again or go with Wii U like they are now, I would still buy it since I have all 3. Nintendo won’t give it to them since they’re Platinum’s saviors for Bayonetta 2 so they won’t give Sony and Microsoft that executive privilege since 1) like you said they need it to sell more Wii U’s and make a profit on software 2) Platinum were saved by Nintendo so the least they can do is optimize it the best they can for Wii U and make Bayonetta 2 the best it can be. All I know is I’m getting that game as I love Bayonetta, you should too and try the first one if you haven’t. I’m not joking. you won’t regret. Play on 360 as the PS3 version was just a lame port. In other news, I think sometime in the future as PC starts to gain more power and awareness in the industry, it will make an unrivaled presence at E3 or any trade show for that matter. Perhaps not soon but someday it will. You have a good day 🙂
sanctum 2 devs said that 95% of the revenue came from pc, the console sales were so low they didnt cover the development costs.
They blame the lack of coverage too since its easier to spot the game on steam than on psn xbl.
So yeah you are right.
i am using baynetta and sunset overdrive as proof that the developers dont care, they only go exlusive just for the money to develop and publish the game, no one wants to be eslusive nor have any allegiance to everyone they do it for money.
Developers dont even stick to their own audience and thus dumb down the games to get more money, it is clear that everything is about money.
As usual ms will show off the new cod on e3, so long story short pc wont get any coverage unless nvidia and intel make pc games.
I know I was reading about that. It’s a shame it happened that way. A while back Nintendo themselves said they’re pulling no punches when letting Platinum doing their thing with Bayonetta 2 and giving them the leg room to make it the best it can be. They are doing anything but dumbing that game down like from M to T or from blood and gore to just rag dolls flying. They’re gonna deliver the real deal with Bayonetta 2 and possibly surpass the epic game that was and still is Bayonetta. The least of their concerns is getting money for it. I think if money were really their main concern they would’ve just stuck with Sony since they give them all the money they need to experiment with their IP. But yeah you’re right unless someone like Nvidia, Intel or AMD head up a conference there won’t be a big presence for PC anytime soon.
also I just so happened to find this recent article on Insomniac-thought you should take a look http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/05/10/sunset-overdrive-xbox-one-exclusivity-wasnt-about-money-info-on-resolutionfps-choice-and-more/
doesnt that prove that sony are c3nts who want to own everything?
Sony wont make any pc games and wants all their developers to be owned by them and be exlusive to sony. Sony wanted to own the ip thats why insomniac went to ms, same case with titanfall, they wouldnt allow a pc version.
If sony ever goes bunkrupt, maybe naughty dog is finaly free and they can go multiplatform.
I guess they wanna watch over it each step of the way in a sense to make sure the quality of their games continue to raise the bar. Naughty Dog hasn’t expressed interest in going multiplatform but I don’t doubt that would liberate them.
Actually if you google it, there was a rumor about making a x360 game to which they replied that they are wholly owned by sony, so they cant make any multiplatform games.
Interesting. I think I remember reading that somewhere.
The prices of a SSD are already reasonable imo. But maybe it’s only in the Netherlands….
In my country a SSD of 240GB is around 200 dollars, while a 1TB hard disk is around 90 – 110 US dollars. In a year SSD will be costing the same as regular harddisks.
yeah 😀
comment of the month
i wish
You wish for the comment of the month? Come on, you’re better than that.
Im ready for this game, and have been waiting for it for a long time, but i think it can be the best zombie game ever made if its done right!
I think it’ll be up there, but for me it’s the original Resident Evil, and of course DayZ. I do like the look of The Forest though, which has cannibals, but it also has base building/survival going for it also+it looks fantastic.
Yeah, RE and RE 2 were both badass! Also the RE Remake on the Gamecube was awesome!
well i turned it down the last time because i stole the quote from southpark, but i really dont care, i just think that this comment about pc gaming current status express all of us, i dont really care if my comment is featured or not.
LOL..and damn truth that is 🙂
lol PC master race my ass. You PC fanboys get nothing but buggy console
ports, and most of the time don’t get the game at all due to piracy,
hows the wait for Red dead redemption and GTA5 going? lol not to mention
you’ll never get to experience the last of us which is the best game of
all time.
“lol PC master race my ass. You PC fanboys get nothing but buggy console
ports”
Pc has more exlusives than all consoles combined and well rated on metacritic. So there are a ton of good games that are exlusives on pc and you console fanboys cant have em.

” and most of the time don’t get the game at all due to piracy,”
Clueless much? If it was piracy then why is pc being bombarded with more game releases all the time? Why do developers even bother porting old games that were never on pc to begin with like enslaved, brutal legend ikaruga and killer is dead?
If there is so smuch piracy why are they releasing those games?
“hows the wait for Red dead redemption and GTA5 going?”
Red dead redemption was made by san diego san diego never made a pc game, rockstar north that makes gta games doest make the pc version other studios do.
Max payne 3 was made by rockstar vancouver and it was released on pc. Even la noire was released on pc which is not a rockstar game it wa made by team bondi and rockstar leeds was hired to port it to pc. Even bully made it to pc with x360/wii release ported by rockstar new england.
So the reason gta v isnt on pc is because of techinical issues rather due to “piracy” all the other developers release games on pc.
According to reserach most console gamers also play on pc and pc gaming has 50% of devs working on pc while only 14% work on ps4.
“not to mention
you’ll never get to experience the last of us which is the best game of
all time.”
i had a ps3 to play uncharted and resistance, i experanced the last of us, blurry as mud textures, no ambient occlusion or dynamic shadows, jaggies, awful aiming controls, the worst ai i have ever seen a generic zombie setting and UTTER REPETTIVE.
This game and bioshock infinite are not “the best games ever” they are average games with a good story, I am not an idiot that believes that good story= good gameplay thus amazing game.
I have litteraly hundrends of games that were more fun than those 2 games, infact pc has a similar game called gone home, its 2 hour interactive story and just like the last of us it got high ratings because it made people “feel something” sorry but i dont play games to feel emotions but to have fun with gameplay mechanics.
Gaming nowdays has been turned into crap, the more polygons in the game the less gameplay there is. The fps genre is a cod clone with scripted events, the horror genre is dead so they make more coop action shooters like dead space and resident evil, rpgs have turned into action rpgs, if this is your idea of “gaming” then no thanks id rather play old games or pc games than those interactive movies that pass themselfs as games.
The pc master race is a joke, a meme. Pc offers tons of games not available on consoles, even enitre genres, pc offers backwards compability, mods, customizible controls using any cotnroller you want, switch between 60 and 30 fps or superior graphics, better sound, free mp and cheaper games.
What is not to like? Seems to me you got used to the consoles.
Also pc gaming has surpassed console gaming in sales.
Google it if you dont believe pc gamign makes more money than consoles.
Steam FTW. This is year is really sad with only a few “good” games to play ( apart of indies ofcourse).
IMHO only: WD, Transistor, Sherlock, Stynx, DarkSoul2, Sniper Elite, Sid Beyond. And maybe…and maybe…Evil WIthin, Alien.
there will be more games this year ,I think grid 2 they announced only 2 months before release or so.. There is DA3 as well…
oh sorry, still Project Cars…and some others!
EA? thnx no! lmao!
Nothing from EA got my money before a huge discounting sale, and DA3 will not change it.
Horrible quality games…
Ok. IHMO just mine opinion…I aint starting a crysis about what I think about EA and theirs games!
But their are always good on releasing somes titanFAILS! lmao!
wait till e3,see the new games, take away those coming out 2015-16, take away the rest that will get delayed and there you go.
There are always games tbh, so many of them and if not .. there are tons of crazy classics just sitting and waiting 😀
i posted a video, anyway type “wait who has no games colapes” in youtube.
There’s isn’t many games because of the introduction of the new generation consoles. Give developers some time to master the technology and further master it on PC and we’ll finally have some new titles. Hopefully at this year’s E3 or next years we get some new IPs and big titles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9wIllAKPoM
Elite Dangerous , The Forest , Lichdom : Battlemage , Divinity Original Sin , Pillars of Eternity , Homeworld Remastered , Age of Mythology Extended (released) , Routine etc .?
thnx! yahoo
PC GAMING FTW
PC gaming was never dead, it just got better and eve more better.
funny coming as there other games are console ports.
I laughed at those who believed Techland when they said that Dying Light would be out in 2014 lol.
It won’t be until 2015 they will release this last gen looking game. Whoop di doo.
Perhaps your crystal ball can tell me tomorrow’s lottery numbers, too?
All you have is GTAV, maybe the most boring GTA ever? LOL you are truly pathetic!!! If you think GTAV is the best game, surely you have 13 or 14 years old. Even if its coming to PC, Im not going to play that piece of garbage.
I hope you enjoy Unreal Tournament 4 when it releases. I see you already started crying and making petitions for PS4 version.
they are crying for a ps4 version of sunset overdrive too and feel betrayed insomniac didnt release the game on ps4 dispete they did it because sony wanted to own the ip while ms didnt.
Console fanboy: “PC don’t get the game at all due to piracy”
Steam/GOG/Origin/Uplay: Piracy who?
Red Dead is a real shame but TLOU even Xbox Fanboy didnt play as u didnt played Halo..
But u are REAL wrong basing ur opnion on the past to predict about the future. PC market is bring a bunch of “exclusives” and its only a beginning.
In 2016-7 PC will be at least a 35% slice of overall selling games market.
GTA? Dont care about it! But my it will be on my Steam if it come!
Man this is big delay…from June 2014 to Feb 2015…
hey can you explain me again why infamous ss isnt a real open world game, go to the lastest watchdogs trailer and explain it for us, thanks.
those moros crying about sony not hurting lol, watch reviewtechusa latest video.
Could you tell me what you said about infamous?
youll have be more specific I’ve said alot about infamous??
???
Diffirent acount?
Anyway why it is not a real open world game.
so its like dead island?
PC gamng is not dead, it just respawn
last of us , best game of all time ? :)) lol. coridor shooter with bad gunplay isn’t the best game of all time, hell it’s not even a good game, you can keep it, guard it and sleep with it every night.
piracy ? you mean millions of pirate GTA V copies on PS3 and X360 ? please
oh it is only the most profitable market in gaming, i would say it is thriving more than sony.

Typical clueless console gamer living in a cave
Ps4 is the best. Cod advanced warfare sell more on ps4 than any system .as well as the evil within and evry game out now. Ps4 master race
