Support NeoGAF

[jtenma]

Wow, I guess I'm going to have to upgrade my PC pretty soon! Hopefully this will lead to other MGS (and maybe even other Japanese games?) coming to Steam! If not, it's still awesome news! Exclamation point!

That depends on how well it sells on PC. If it sells well on PC, then I'm sure you will see more MG on PC.

Hmm, so do I cancel my PS4 version pre-order or not? Fantastic news. I honestly didn't expect this.

Well that depends, I dont know your case.

Personally, I am buying on PS4 still, and when I get a capable PC, I will buy at a cheaper price then (sometime end of this year/next year)just for mods. Not to actually play through it again. Still, right now, I dont have $500 for parts for new PC parts, that I am eyeing.

 

[Dawg]

This is real? lol

Well played, if so.

[alf717]

Whoa this is awesome. I think I might buy this now.

 

[Razma1]

Very happy its on PC. I tend to get lazy when it comes to console games but if its on PC I will focus on it.

 

[JaseC]

The last time Konami said "soon", PC gamers were left waiting seven months.

 

[Saintguine]

How would PC gamers even play this? A keyboard? How does that even work? If you held it like a controller your thumbs wouldn't reach all the buttons so how would you hold it?

I don't know about you but I have an Xbox 360 and PS3 controller that I could easily plug in and play.

 

[Korten]

MGS was one of the reson I was getting a ps4. No man sky too...only bloodborn left.

welp.

Because obviously once No Man's Sky and Bloodborne come out for PS4, no new games will EVER come out for it.

i think hes joking.

Some people don't see the point of buying a system for unannounced games.

 

[RPGamer92]

Because Sony's studios are just twiddling their thumbs all day?

 

[VisceralBowl]

No Man's Sky is coming to PC.

Some people only buy consoles for exclusives that interest them. Not everybody may be interested in the currently revealed stuff. There will still be plenty of console/PS4 exclusives that are going to be revealed in the future though.

 

[inkls]

when did anyone say that?

 

[Ysiadmihi]

No, they're working on unannounced games that people aren't interested in buying the system for...because they're unannounced.

 

[Josman]

Release the MGS collection Konami, please

 

[BennyBlanco]

Release the MGS collection Konami, please

I've been trying to get into it on Vita, but the tiny screen kind of kills it. Would gladly double dip on Steam.

 

[santeesioux]

Might be time to upgrade my 560 Ti for this and SW Battlefront...

 

[Lazulic]

Release the MGS collection Konami, please

Seconding this. Let the begging commence.

 

[Rogue Agent]

Release the MGS collection Konami, please

A collection of 1-4 & PW on PS4/XBONE/PC should definitely be considered, I agree.

 

[gdt]

Utterly fantastic news. If I build my PC before it comes out, I'll get it there. So happy to hear this. Go MGS!

 

[Sheperd]

good stuff. will look glorious.

 

[Dawg]

Might as well go for the legacy collection then.

 

[Thoraxes]

Hopefully the max specs will make my PC go nuclear.

Not gonna get the PS4 version anymore either.

 

[Ozium]

Excited about Metal Gear Online being on Steam.
Not excited for Konami Login ID, Konami Servers, no Steamworks.

Spoiler

pure speculation on my part, but Konami gonna Kon

Metal Gear Rising had steamworks integration.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Oh god, this is incredible. I love Kojima for this, even though MGO could very well ruin my life.

So if i decide to build a new pc, what will i need to spend to get this game running better than the ps4 version. Am guess 1,000 , idk idk what to do, invest in a new tv and console or fully commit to a pc

You should really ask the PC building thread, but if you want some real advice, a couple of questions first:

-Do you have any old PC to salvage parts from? (Case, PSU, keyboard, mouse, etc). These costs can add up and salvaging them from an old PC is viable.
-Do you want an HTPC, i.e. something small and console-like to fit under your TV, or are you ok with a behemoth?
-Define "better than PS4." Are you looking for something that merely bests it, or a monster rig?
-Do you have a windows license you can reuse? If not, no biggie, you can get one off of reddit for like $5, but you can save a footlong if you have windows 7 or whatever already.

$1000 can build you an absolutely killer rig depending on your answers. As in a VR-crushing rig. You don't need to spend that much to build something that'll top a PS4.

 

[Ozium]

Metal Gear Rising had steamworks integration.

it was also a platinum joint and didn't have online multiplayer... but I hope you're right.

Same. I'm losing reasons to keep me PS4. >>;

$1000 could get you a very nice PC. I say commit to PC, but I'm biased since that is what I'm doing

 

[family_guy]

I would still get it for PS4 because of the controller. Kojima usually makes good use of the console specific features.

PES 2014 has online support and steamworks integration

neither Castlevania game lacked steamworks integration

Obviously the best decision would be go full Steamworks. No need for Konami to provide server upkeep costs or any kind of backend login information.

But, as you said, Japanese publishers generally aren't logical.

Admittedly, I know nothing about PES, but if Konami used Steamworks for the online system then that bodes well for MGO.

Did the Winning Eleven titles on the PS3 use PSN or did they use the Konami ID crap that MGS4/MGO did? We need to see where the precedence has been.

Would an i5/780 be considered as 'VR-crushing'?

 

[Spazznid]

...how?

 

[Krejlooc]

Not really. There are VR games that are both GPU intensive and CPU intensive. VR is one of the most spec-pushing things you can get into ATM.

...how?

this is legal, btw. Not shady or anything.

 

[industrian]

Hmm. Konami themselves published the PC version where I live. This regional thingie is confusing. What about other Konami games? Are they available in Taiwan?

Random note: Konami and Capcom games are not available in Steam Japan.

The only Konami game on Steam in taiwan is Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1.

The only Sega ones are Genesis/MD games, Warhammer, some DC ports and Company of Heroes.

 

[feel]

I went on their twitter on see if this was a real tweet, and it was.

So good.

 

[Forkball]

Awesome. But yeah, Konami is known for region locking. Still... awesome.

are people really upset that we won't be able to get it for tf2 keys from RussiaGAF? Who cares? We're getting MGSV.

Is it the CPU letting me down? it's an i5 4670

 

[baterism]

This. I haven't bought MGR simply because they don't let me to. And AFAIK they also disallow cross-region trade.

Oh, weird. My bad.

Well like back up for a sec - are we talking about building a rig for VR, or something that'll run MGSV fine? Your CPU is absolutely fine for MGSV, my last post was about VR games specifically, since you included my phrase, "VR-crushing."

 

[CerebralTiger]

I would still get it for PS4 because of the controller. Kojima usually makes good use of the console specific features.

Ground Zeroes didn't really take much advantage of the DS4's extra features. I doubt it'd be different for TPP. Plus, the controller works really well on PC.

Oh thank you new born baby jesus

VR. What would $1000 get you? Just curious because I spent close to that amount not long ago
