Do you reckon FFXV and/or MGSV will get PC ports?

Does anybody remember when Kojima said he'd like to develop exclusively for the PC?

Are you sure it's not this you remember: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/kojima-wishes-people-would-stop-asking-about-mgs4-on-360

"I've been doing a lot of interviews and stage shows, and half the questions are like 'Will MGS4 be coming out on 360 or other formats?', and in the near future I hope they'll ask me about Metal Gear, about us, about our future projects, and will stop caring about the hardware," Kojima told Eurogamer in an interview published today.

Pressed on MGS4's exclusivity and the possibility of an Xbox 360 port, Kojima reiterated that the PS3 had been chosen because he believed that the series' success had been entwined with PlayStation's, and admitted that "because MGS4 was optimised for the PS3 it is probably not possible".

"But, you know, what kind of disturbs me sometimes, because a lot of people ask me about this PS3/360 question, is that it's not about the hardware - I want people to look at the game itself. Sometimes I even feel like it should be on a PC so that people don't ask me about hardware and platforms," he said.

I doubt Ground Zeroes happens as a standalone PC port. Either MGSV is released for PC completely or not at all.

I'm struggling justifying spending $30 on GZ for obvious reasons.
 
MGSV probably will.

I wouldn't put money on FFXV happening, though I guess it's possible. You have to go back to the 90s for the last time a single-player Final Fantasy was ported to PC.
 
I hope MGSV will, depends though of Kojima is truly expanding, looks that way with some of the PC ports and given the architecture of the next gen boxes, feels better than prev gen chances.

I want to build a PC and this would be the game to make me finally do it. Could you imagine that Metal Gear Online without Konami ID and those poopy connections... Just chills thinking about it.
 
I think FFXV is hitting PC.

They've already hinted at it and Square has been pretty prolific in PC releases lately. Also old FF's are hits on Steam.
 
FFXV: Not happening
MGSV: As much chance as anyother MGS game, theres a chance but I wouldn't bet on it.

Since FFVII, VIII, XI, and XIV all came out for PC. I'm holding hope XV will too.
If FF XV and Kingdom Hearts 3 come out for PC, I'm definitely not getting a PS4. Those are the only games I care about next-gen, well so far.

When did 9 come out on PC or was it JP only?

If FFXV gets a PC port, then I want all the other FF games on there too.

If it releases the same day as the console one's is it still a port?
 
I'd love for FFXV to have a PC version and they did state it's likely, but I wouldn't feel comfortable in expecting anything at all from this game by now, be it ports or hell, even an actual release. Who knows what's in store after such a troubled history.
 
Square Enix is bleeding money, if they don't put the game on a PC, it's a really bad business decision and they don't seem like they could afford to make it.

Or, logic doesn't apply to this company and they won't release it.
 
i think both have a lot of potential to be on pc, but i would pin my money more on mgsv coming more than ffxv

square are definitely investigating the appeal for ff on pc judging from the steam releases of 7 and 8, and for all we know they're making plans for the future

konami are already establishing themselves on pc, mgr has most likely done very well, and kojima has expressed some interest in a pc version, but if they're smart they'll release the pc version in a timely fashion

late ports fly if the studio is new to pc, but if you want to ride the same wave of hype the console versions have, release the pc version a couple weeks after
 
Well MGS5 seems likely, but FFXV has a small chance. They did release two FF on steam last year, granted, they are very old. Squenix has been doing fairly well in regards to it's PC ports so it's not outside the realm of possibility.
 
I believe both will end up on pc, but FFXV will take some time because Sqenix
 
Man, I didn't even know MGSV wasn't being released on PC, Yet these consoles are more PC like than ever before, Must be annoying waiting months for ports of games or not getting games at all.
 
I think they both will. Maybe not at launch of the console versions but I still think they'll appear. Konami has been dipping their toes into the PC market a lot more very recently and hopefully Lords Of Shadow, MGR, Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII are showing Konami and Square Enix it's basically easy money for both of them. Maybe it helps that Square Enix see how well the Eidos PC ports do as well. I hope Sega sees how successful MGR is as well and gets more Platinum ports on the go.

It's a very interesting time at the minute.
 
I think it would be stupid for both companies to not make PC versions, especially Square since their last FF games have received so much criticism. They had to spend so much time and money to fix XIV after all.
 
Regarding FFXV, I think if IX, X, X-2, XII and/or any of the XIII trilogy get late PC ports then I think XV is more likely. It'd at least show that they're willing to put a bit of effort into PC gaming other than taking old PC games and adding achievements, cloud saves and a booster item.

There really is no troubled history for FFXV's actual development, other than from a more general management POV (as in, SQEX execs not giving it the priority, meaning only a small team worked on pre-production & early development for years).

I mean, it's not like they've begun and trashed the project dozens of times, changed directors & writers, had several different development teams, scrapped previous gameplay features completely and started from zero or anything like that, which would be my definition of a troubled development. The game's development itself has advanced pretty well WHEN they've been able to advance it. Really, the game has been in full development only for 2,5 years, that includes a switch of console generations AND Square Enix going through the process of fixing FFXIV, which affected the development of all other projects as well. The reason why it's taking long even now that they are focusing on it is simply because it's quite likely one of the most ambitious game projects of all time (a huge open world-ish action RPG with the kind of cinematic flair that FF is known for).
 
they were hinted to come out on pc. maybe a year...or two years...or after a very long time after the console release date. if not, oh well

Japanese publishers are tough to predict from a logical or bussiness standpoint.

The PC version of Realm Reborn gave them a massive financial boost as well.
 
plexcide said:
Yes. Next-gen consoles have a similar architecture to PCs and the fact that there are a few successful Japanese PC ports that have come out recently will make it easier for publishers to see it's worth it.
Click to expand...
That is a bit of a misnomer. By comparison you can say it's similar but I think they still have their own propreitery things tied to them. It's why there already is a difference with the xbone and ps4 with the HUMA thing and other things. It's not a 1:1 thing with the tech.
 
i have a hunch FFXV may make its way to PC. i know it's looking unlikely, but i'd like to think japanese publishers are starting to see PC (or more namely, steam) as something that can't continue to be ignored
 
That's what I'm banking on. I'm not getting a PS4/X1 until one of those two come out, but if they're on PC I wont even bother buying either console.
 
FFXV isn't coming to PC, XIV was on PC because it's a MMO like XI was....MMO's are mostly played on PC....it makes sense.

MGSV I guess is likely since Revengeance was a multi-plat...but I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm a console based gamer so I honestly don't care if PC ever gets any of them.

As am I, but the allure of playing these games with the dial turned to 11 is enticing. It'd be an expensive venture, but I suspect I will put an ungodly amount of hours into both games, where it'd be well worth it.
 
HeelPower said:
Yeah its to expand the game's audience and potential(mods etc)

I am not a PC gamer but I would love to see both games hit the PC.

Well, the most important thing about having a PC version of games, in the grand scheme of things, is actually about long term software preservation.
Games shouldn't die with the obsolete platforms they were aimed to originally.

good point.Never thought of it that way but great point actually.PCs will always outlast consoles on the long run.

Nomura already confirmed FFXV is basically lead SKU on PC, and said a release wasn't out of the question.

Just because it's being developed on PC, doesn't necessarily mean it will be officially released on it (no matter how stupid that seems). I think the game will likely gate a late port a year or two after console release.

Well yeah, I didn't mean the development side when I said history, but the entire management clusterfuck (although changing engines and changing platforms would qualify as development hurdles imo). There's no way to predict what will happen to the final product at this point because SE's management can be very cuckoo. My point was, no matter how much sense a PC version arguably makes, they may never release it because reasons.

Konami ported Castlevania: Lords of Shadow to PC, and the producer of the game said it was selling well, and this was shown by PES and Rising showing up on Steam. LOS peaked at ~1600 concurrent players on Steam. MGR peaked at ~12000. It's selling fantastically well.

Yeah, like i said in the Revengeance thread:

Apparently Tripwire (the Killing Floor developer) said on an episode of the PC Gamer Podcast that their peak concurrent numbers usually represent 10% of the total # unique players throughout the day.

So if that holds up 12000 players concurrent on launch would still be >100K sales.

The "10% rule", as I usually call it, tends to be consistently true across a lot of different software, and as you said that's not even referred to total sales but usually just to averaging daily activity.
I mentioned it several times in the past .
