I think the better alternative we got to this is just making most of the settings configurable number values via external editing (.inis) and just limiting the main program to "optimized" settings. It doesn't help that they don't normally include a reference option to what the console settings would be to indicate what the baseline of what the game should look like is, and there's obvious reasons why platform holders would be very opposed to something like that. AC4 might've had some performance issues, but a lot of those were also mixed with people enabling the special Nvidia features (PCSS) that take up a lot of power and look a whole lot better. A lot of that "lack of CPU usage" aligned with GPU usage being completely maxed out as well.
Yeah, I agree with pretty much everything you say here.

In an ideal world, you'd get "Wii U", "XB1", and "PS4" setting presets in multiplats, and "high", "max" settings which actually are "high" and "max". However, the best you can do due to constraints imposed both by console platform holders and the unreasonable stance of some PC gamers is probably "low", "medium", "high" and a "maximum" which isn't actually a maximum but rather a bit higher then high. Then allow people who are capable of rational thought to access actual "maximum" settings via an ini. At least that's how I would handle it.
 
That's a weird claim, considering the game has yet to be released on ANY platform and they never explicitly denied the chance of a PC port, and actually hinted about it in a couple of circumstances.

i remembered awhile ago they said that the demo they did at GDC was on a PC

edit: yep. destructoid, IGN, gamesradar etc all said that the demo was played on a PC

Hideo Kojima presented a new Metal Gear Solid V trailer today at a GDC panel, confirming that Metal Gear Solid V and The Phantom Pain are the same game. The game is currently being shown on PC.
 
So a Nvidia Geforce GTX 650
What's the Radeon equivalent? I have a 6870.
Curious how well this game will run for me.

Already preordered but eh...oh well.
 
Now that i think about it, the reveal at 2011 vga, looked way better than the final release. I hope the pc version on high, is similar to that video.

Nah, the 2011 VGA trailer looked ... iffy at the time.

You are probably thinking of the E3 2010 Metal Gear Solid: Rising trailer, which was most likely running on an earlier version/prototype of the Fox Engine.

Both versions ran at 60fps (I watched the 2010 version live on tv), although Revengeance revealed with 30fps trailer, which is why it looked so bad. It took ages for a 60fps version of the Revengeance trailer to appear online.
 
Thank you for posting the Amazon link. I have bought it already, and I hope many PC gamers support this title so that we may have a chance at getting future MGS titles on the PC platform as well.

No, i was definitely thinking at the vga video. It had less jaggies than the console version and the surroundings looked better overall
Probably because it ran on pc.
The fox engine demo though, was the best looking, no doubt.




imho.
 
You know with the specs this game needs, I kind of hope they send out the demo that the consoles had for PC as well. It'd be a quick way to find out if the game will run nicely on your PC. "Just try the demo."
 
Those PC screenshots are all 1280x720 native ;)

I'd love to buy this game instantly, but the min. requirements scare me. I mean, with a game that greatly 'optimized' (or so I've been told) shouldn't it mean the min requirements are quite low?

I'm not much of a tech person: exactly how abnormal/high are the requirements?

Oh flipping heck I just joked in the Steam thread about bribing you to fix it.

I'm going to think happy thoughts that it's just been set up that way not to get any console owner backlash.

Considering it was releasing "soon" 6 months ago I would hope a fair old bit of work has gone into this.

The CPU is surprisingly high (core i5 minimum), but we're guessing that's because of cutting stuff up in blade mode, which drops the framerate below 30 (from 60) in the console versions.

The GPU is around where it should be, I think, although someone else may correct me on that.
 
Em, I don't see anything on these screens that may require GTX 650 or i7 CPU. The environments still looks ugly as hell, character models looks the same, just like the light effects and so on. So... what's the catch?
 

Pretty sure they are console screenshots since I remember seeing a few of them before/after the console release, this one in particular I remember seeing before. Reverse image search shows many of them going back to the start of this year.

Didn't PG already confirm here on GAF that it wouldn't be frame limited or framebuffer locked in any way?

Cutting stuff into 300-500 pieces might take quite a load on your CPU.
 
Couldn't Konami grab one guy to fire up Revengeance PC and use fraps to get a dozen or so screenshots to pass around?

This release sounds awesome otherwise but things like this are a real head-scratcher.
