Metal Gear Solid V - PC vs. PS4 screenshot comparison

The thread was pointing out those eact differences (among many others). Right?

I am not sure why wit was so controversial to make a comprison thread.

More to the point, there were and are many reasons for this thread to be here.

For a start, Kojima himself and KojiPro already started this comparison themselves 2 days ago, which may I add was discussed without issue from all involved no matter what platform they supported. Nvidia then got the raw caps from konami and did the same thing and explained what was new giving a better idea as to the system requirements and how they relate

This is all useful stuff for those interested. The moment that this was posted as a "vs ps4" thread, is where it turned into the same nonsence of the other "compare platform" and "digital foundry" threads. Take from that what you will
 
Especially not since there has been a history of shoddy japanese ports to say the least, letting people that know that this might turn out to be a really good version of the game is informative.
Yeah, exactly. This is really not a case of "of course it was going to be much improved on PC". If not a surprise, then it's still at least something that needed confirmation.
 
I still can't buy any Konami game on Steam. Is Singapore dollars not money to you?

Japanese publishers are very strange about the entire Asian region. I have no idea why.

Good point.

This is starting to really bother me. I don't know why they do it, but more so, I didn't realise that they have been doing this consistently for a long time with no discernable reason for it that I can tell. I do hope it changes for you and all the others that seem to be locked out

I can buy PES2014 on Steam in SGD. It is cheaper too!

MGSV is showing on Steam unlike MGS:R

I really don't get why such a significant number of Japanese Steam releases are locked out of Asia/Japan.
 
I was not expecting such drastic improvements in PC version.
Amazing job Konami, grats!

Lol, i've read some posts. People do not notice the LOD difference? For real? Its like Skyrim on Low vs uGrid 9

Ps. I still remember posts that said it will be console exclusive title and You should buy PS4 to play it - lol
 
WTF?!

PES2015 was available on Steam SGD last week.

I bought for SGD39.

Fuck Konami, better don't remove MGSV....
 
Why do people bring up consoles exclusives in a comparison thread? I wonder if they know that the same game would still perform better on a low level enthusiast PC?
 
Konami reps reading this, why the fuck you region lock PC/Steam games?

Please explain.

Looks like the only choice for Asian gamers to play MGSV PC is to pirate it. Thanks retards!

Congrats, you managed to buy it before they took it down. Now do you trust that they will keep MGSV there?

Edit: Obviously you don't now.

What I really want to buy is MGR:R though...
 
It's not that extreme, but yeah, it's huge.

We'll see in this level :) But yeah, 'slightly' overblown it :) not Low, but High vs uGrid 9

It's stupid policy that Konami and Sega seems to be doing. I can't buy games like Metal Gear Rising and Valkyria Chronicle from the store.
It's a stupid policy and I really have no idea why they are insisting on it. For other stupid company decisions I can usually at least try to see the perspective which leads to them. This though? No idea.

It's merely a purchasing restriction. You can have the games gifted from someone else just fine (e.g. a US GAFer) or even activate retail keys (albeit with the help of a VPN).

It is still retarded and if they do this for MGSV, I going to edit myself.

Fuck Kojinami!
 
Agreed. The PS4's supercharged architecture and 8 GBs of GDDR5 are really shining through here. The PS4 version is actually better for the stealthy gameplay the series is known for because all the lights are turned off, allowing Snake to brave the shadows and take out his opponents.

At the very least it's the more authentic experience.

It's not like they worked on the PC one and then just started taking things out for the other versions.

Hey I cant steal something that does not offer itself for sales, right?

Fuck Kojinami!

what a thread

They really opened the floodgates for NeoGAF a few years back and now they just let anybody in with a college e-mail
 
Why not? If publishers are gonna put their games on PC & make their games much more superior to the console versions in graphics, then the console versions should get some sort of compensation for it.

That would be fair, wouldn't it?
Time to start a hashtag twitter campaign, I guess.
#PS4Compensation.

drastic? skyrim on low? wow at the hiperbole here..wow..its looks better thats for sure..but drastic?
 
I think you'll really see the difference in motion, especially with an open world kinda game like Phantom Pain, with things aren't popping in all the time on PC

Yeah playing it on the PS4 things that weren't even that far away were popping in and out so not having to see that will be a welcome change.
