XSEED will be publishing 2019's Daemon X Machina on the PC platform, in less than two weeks. From the producer of the Armored Core series, Daemon X Machina sees you piloting a giant mech, fighting against other machines and upgrading your own tech from the mechanical remains of your foes. The PC port will feature achievements, Steam trading cards, online co-op and PVP, and will release for $59.99 on February 13th, with a temporary launch week discount of 20%.

This game would kill to have had 5 million Switch sales. That's what both the 2D Marios pulled.

 

[Cortador]

Game looks so much better. It had horrible performance on the switch.

Having better graphics, higher resolution and 60 FPS will go a long way into making this feel like a whole new experience.

I went to see Shoji Kawamori speak at the Barbican before this launched. He tried to pump it to us.

Soz if you guys think this is off topic but it's not I'm about to do a deal with @AmandaRose to buy the game for 50p haha

Haha its fkin hilarious when someone on ebay trys to sell one for 300 quid and underneath it thers a guy selling one for couple of quid

 

[LightBeam]

It wasn't that great on Switch, and I really tried to like it ... But at least it will run at 60 fps this time, but if only it would make the gameplay a little faster ..

... I like it. It's more consumer friendly and more friendly for the devs in the long run. more sales through both platforms. What is there to hate?

 

[Deleted User]

an i7-6700 and gtx 1060...? why is this so much more cpu intensive than it is GPU, something here smells like bad optimization

 

[PatrickD85]

Meh ... it;s not that major of a thing.
It's not like Mario went to steam or something.

 

[Silent_Gunner]

Meanwhile, I'm playing Armored Core on PCSX2, and one of these days, RPCS3...

Some people have preferred platforms and like to know that if they're buying it on their not favorite platform that it's for a good reason.
Having exclusive games then released elsewhere can feel like wasted money or atleast money not well spent

 

[Deleted User]

Steam still owes me money, so I'll stick with buying it on Switch.

Shame they couldn't put it on gog, ms store or their own thing, would've been great to kick off my new PC with it.

I hope it has crossplay so I can convince my PC friends to play with me.

Also, where are they getting those reccomended specs from? Gtx 1060 and 7th gen i7 sound a bit overkill for this game.

 

[NoNAND]

60FPS 1080p FTW!

 

[xdarkx]

Probably some low sales on switch.

If that is really the case, then I would think Marvelous Inc (Japan) may have something to do with the sales as they claimed every videos about the game around the time when the game was released. Not having videos about the game would mean less people know about it.

 

[Xzi]

Good stuff, I'll grab it in a sale down the line at some point.

 

[Viri]

I liked the color scheme and the art style of the game. That's about it, lol.

 

[gameboy]

Daemon Ex Machina was D.O.A. because they copyrighted everyone who would repost or make promotional videos of it. Im surprised they havent tried to copyright this post yet.

 

[hamohamo]

With a game that looks like this one I don't know how can it really run in a measly i7-6700 with a GTX1060...
I was expecting an i9-9980XE and RTX 2080 Ti as minimum. /s

As in extreme minimum. To run this game at 1080p30fps you need to wait atleast 5 generations for when nvidia releases the 7090ti max oc gamer edition.
