Why? Exclusively only hurts sales if anything, giving your game a bigger audience is never a bad thing

It's almost here fuck yes !
I honestly thought it was Platinum Games doing the port, guess not.
Consoles suck ass.
Give me that full hd goodness at steady 60 frames and a decent AA.
It's not a traditional MGS game, It's a pure action game.
Yeah, it being Konami worries me, they aren't the smartest company around when it comes to making decent choices.

You guys are being incited by the console peasant wishing for exclusivity. Don't take the bait fellow gaming PC owners.
On topic, fucking finally, I can't wait for that true 1080p60 slicing action on the PC. Hope Konami ported this one as well as they did Castlevania LOS which ran pretty damn well on my oldish PC.

Yes, this.

Will double dip if it's a good port.
I don't think anyone really knows who did the port right now. There's been conflicting stories.
There is absolutely no advertising for the PC release, is there? Well... at least I will be doing my part.

Whoever decided to get preorders up at $20 is brilliant. Even if the port is mediocre to bad on launch, those who preordered aren't going to feel too ripped off.
Here's hoping it's good and that lots of people buy it. Incentivizing more Japanese PC ports is never a bad thing.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Not expecting much/anything in the ways of graphical enhancements, outside of the standards: texture filtering, resolution, anti-aliasing, etc. And a lot of that can be forced by drivers anyway. Would be nice if there was a more advanced shadow filtering option for high end PCs. Wouldn't say no to some extra fluff too, like ambient occlusions.
Really hoping the dismemberment fade time / scene complexity has been increased, or is tweakable. No reason it shouldn't be unless the engine just can't handle it, or there's some fundamental issue with gameplay. Modern PC CPU and RAM limits should allow for dismembered pieces to stick around a lot longer than the console build.
Either way, excited to double dip. $20 is a good price, too.

I'm aware. Is everything self contained otherwise?
What does that accomplish really?
Not sure what you mean by self contained.
I think the timeline is like 4 years or so after the events of MGS4, so It's in the same timeline.
But it's more of Raiden's story/spinoff.
Yeah I was going by what was said by one of the Konami guys in a thread talking about it, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.
As long as it appears on Steam under new releases it should do just fine assuming the port's decent. Word of mouth alone can help sell a game on Steam and I'm sure folks know about Platinum and Metal Gear. I just hope it does well on PC.
I'll be buying it day one anyway

That's kind of obvious. Does it make sense without the rest of the games as context?

Day one!
About time this released!

Does anything Metal Gear related make any sense?
That would be up to Sega.

I'd totally double dip on Vanquish if they brought it to PC
Of course it does. You know nanomachines and... Um Metal Gear!? To be honest you can get through a MG title with a heavy dollop of suspension of disbelief. At least with Rising most of the complex story interactions are kept to optional Codec calls. So you can get stuck in to the hacky, slashy fun without a migraine.

konami PC games are not available on steam in Asia ( the irony, i know). hopefully the amazon key activates here
this is what happens when you go to the store page for castlevania or PES

Day 1.
Honestly I'm not even sure my crap PC will be able to even run the game decently (as light as the game will probably be), but I'll still buy it.

The moment Kojima decided to give this to platinum the game stopped being a MGS game. That's why it got renamed from Metal Gear Solid: Rising to Metal Gear Revengeance.
It dropped the Solid in the title for a reason.
It's not a MGS game it's a MG game and it's a fantastic one at that. One of the best action games of the gen only surpassed by Bayonetta (and that's mostly because how rushed this game was).

I will be double dipping, and I will be enjoying every second of one of the greatest action games ever made.
However, I don't think it will play very well with a keyboard and mouse. So I am curious about the default scheme.

So that is the conflicting information.
I need to dig up my source on the matter, I thought it was Kojima during an interview.

It should.
If you need Castlevania, either activate it from Amazon or have someone buy it from Steam and gift it to you.

Damn it, why doesn't Amazon accept Paypal?
Ah yes thanks for that, those are the posts I was thinking of
Another reason I think it's them was I remember reading quite a while ago that they didn't want anyone porting their games to other platforms apart from them after the mess that was Bayonetta on PS3.Roger that. I'm still not sure what's going to show up on PC, but hopefully it's all of it.

JP pretty much admitted it was in house and they haven't said anything because Konami is handling the news.
I'll pre-order this as soon as it's up!
Yeah that is what made me automatically assume Platinum was working on it from the beginning.Ah yes thanks for that, those are the posts I was thinking of
