Horizon: Zero Dawn Dawns on PC This Summer

The Hermen Hulst Q&A on the PlayStation.Blog has a confirmation from the Head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios on the oft-rumored PC port of Horizon: Zero Dawn, saying Guerrilla Games' action/RPG will escape its PS4 exclusivity this summer. Here's the exchange:
PSB: Speaking of experimentation, there have been rumors of a Horizon Zero Dawn complete edition that might be coming to PC… can you confirm or deny that?
HH:
Yes, I can confirm that Horizon Zero Dawn is coming to PC this summer…. There will be more information coming from Guerrilla, from the new studio directors [Michiel van der Leeuw, JB van Beek, and Angie Smets] pretty soon.

PSB: PlayStation is no stranger to publishing titles on the PC, but Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the largest games to make that leap. Is there anything you would say to PlayStation fans? What does it mean for the future?
HH:
Sure. I think it’s important that we stay open to new ideas of how to introduce more people to PlayStation, and show people maybe what they’ve been missing out on.

And to maybe put a few minds at ease, releasing one first-party AAA title to PC doesn’t necessarily mean that every game now will come to PC. In my mind, Horizon Zero Dawn was just a great fit in this particular instance. We don’t have plans for day and date [PC releases], and we remain 100% committed to dedicated hardware.

Oh hell yeah. Loved this game on PS4, but the controller made it difficult for me (I suck at aiming with them). If they can get the controls right, I'll absolutely buy it again.

A great fit is right, this one is all about precision shooting. Liberal application of slow-mo helped smooth it over for the analog sticks, and it felt really good using those triggers for an archery-focused game, but it'd definitely be frustrating for a lot of people to play that way. Using a mouse is going to make a world of difference, almost to the point where it being too easy would be a concern.

This is the game that pushed me over the edge on buying a PS4, and luckily the PS4 Pro had just come out. It's a fantastic game, with more depth to each game facet than you'd expect (Story, cutscenes, combat systems). I will likely re-purchase this on PC, unless it gets the Dark Souls treatment. Those of you without PS4s are in for a treat!

I do find it funny that in the same announcement, they had to make sure their fanboys didn't lose their minds over a game leaving PS4 exclusivity. I've never understood the fanaticism around WANTING exclusivity. If a game sells more copies across multiple platforms, that RAISES the chance of it getting a sequel. I mean, as an Xbone owner, the decision to put all first party games on PC meant my Xbone is now useless. That's a -bit- disappointing, but at the same time, my digital purchases transferred flawlessly and run/look better.

Played it on the PS4. Great game but it was a bit of a chore to finish. The story and setting kept me going though.

The aiming is the thing between PC and console, innit? That's why HZD (and RDR2) has that time-dilation aiming mechanic in the first place. Did they adjust the timing of RDR2 on the PC port? I feel like, with a mouse, you'd need, like, half the time you get in Dead Eye mode to make it work, and keep it challenging.

It is amazing. I didn't ever get around to playing the expansion on PS4, but the base game was a lot of fun. If they get mouse controls right I ill definitely buy it again and play the whole thing on PC.

Why wouldn't it be safe to buy? You mean if it's a crappy port?

Nope per an update to the Steam Distribution Agreement in September last year.

"Delivery. Company shall submit the Applications to Steam for release no later than the first commercial release of each Application or Localized Version, or, if already commercially released as of the Effective Date, within (30) days of the Effective Date. Thereafter, Company shall submit to Steam any Localized Versions and Application Updates (in beta and final form) when available, but in no event later than they are provided to any other third party for commercial release. Company shall provide these copies in object code form, in whatever format Valve reasonably requests."

Once a company has agreed to "deliver" their game to Steam for launch – the files must be submitted to Steam before it's release (or 30 days after signing up to the program). Updates must also never happen later than on other platforms. The link above shows this under the "Sign SDA" tab when a publisher signs up to join the SDA program.
So there's now no way to withdraw from the distribution contact? What did the wording say before?
