GZ will be the first game I ever buy on Steam. My initiation to the masterrace.

Brother!!!! Welcome.

 

[Naked Snake]

wait, really?

Yeah. I haven't been gaming on PC in over a decade. I got one 2D game gifted to me last year, and I downloaded the free Black Mesa (which was light enough to run on my i5-2500 sans real GPU), but I'll be buying a 970 next week and I'm very excited to become a PC gamer again. I had the card for a couple of days before I had to return it, and my mind was positively blown by the IQ and performance possibilities that I witnessed in that brief time.

 

[Spaghetti]

Well, part of it is the fact that I like to collect MGS stuff. Another reason is that I've always wondered what would happen if Steam/Valve cease to exist, if their network goes down, or if my hdd dies and I'm stuck with no internet somewhere and want to play on another PC.

But you're right, it's no big deal, just me being picky.

if i remember right, you'd need to connect to steam initially regardless of having a disk to start the download.

but hey, the collector mentality is hard to shake. just have to accept there'll be no physical copies of GZ on PC to use as currency in a post-steam apocalypse

you've got your first steam sale ahead of you very soon. hope you're prepared.

seriously though, pc gaming has come a long way even in the last five years, especially in terms of technology and parts. i just got a new pc this week to replace my old 2008/2009 build and everything is so much neater and in a lot of cases smaller.

The disc just has an installer with the game data and is useless by itself. You redeem the CD-key (with an internet connection) and then it grants you access to the game on Steam. The disc is completely optional.

If you really want a physical copy of this you can make your own cover and then burn a backup (which Steam lets you do) to a DVD/BR disc.

some comparison PS4 and PC , also from steam thread

Wow was not expecting them to put any extra effort into this, nice.

This looks awesooooooome.

Double dip baby!

Be very weary of the path you are about to take. It will start with one game, but soon, you will have to use the search function in your library to find the game you want, and you will repeatedly try to buy games only to find out you already own them.

The SSR makes the game look SOOOO MUCH better. Jesus.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Wow, that looks amazing! Can't wait to see it in motion.

 

[Dick Justice]

The SSR makes the game look SOOOO MUCH better. Jesus.

I just hope they don't completely kill performance like in Wolfenstein.

 

[Abilidebob]

Huh, the game needs only 4GB HDD space. I thought it'd be bigger.

 

[Dictator93]

I just hope they don't completely kill performance like in Wolfenstein.

WOlf should never be used as a baseline for performance anything IMO. Other games with SSR do not add nearly as much overhead as whatever the heck Wolf was doing.

Haha I can't wait

My wallet will weep.

 

[Lulubop]

Kojima working with Nvidia already gives me a good feeling about the PC version of TPP.

 

[Denton]

I want this. The LoD was one thing that pissed me off in console versions, I am so glad they improved it for PC.

 

[ashecitism]

Huh, the game needs only 4GB HDD space. I thought it'd be bigger.

No, that's system memory. We don't know how much HDD space it will take. Around 10 GB maybe.

You mean, you are so happy PCs can improve the game's LoD?

 

[Wozzer]

That feel when your PC is the minimum specs

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Would my 670 meet the recommended requirements of a 760?

 

[Kezen]

Would my 670 meet the recommended requirements of a 760?

Yes.

 

[heyf00L]

SSR comes in various levels of accuracy.

Like in COD its SSR doesn't do perspective correction. It's literally flipping the screen, and that's it. It looks OK, but the paralax is all wrong.

This MGS screenshot shows that the SSR is perspective correct (look at the headlight in comparison to the shadow on the wall behind it). I'm sure that takes a good bit more power.

 

[Abilidebob]

27:40 on the video

Unless they mistook it for the PS4 size.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Yes.

Awesome, I can't wait to buy GZ again.

 

[meptrep]

Would my 670 meet the recommended requirements of a 760?

Should be equal or slightly better performance than a 760. And I think 760s have 2GB of VRAM max, not sure about 670s.

Oh, didn't see that.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Those puddles, lights and reflections look great.

They're the same cards basically. And 760s also have 4GB variants. Just like the 670s.

Oh, wow, my bad. I'm not super up to date with the 700 series I guess.

Curious as to what the directx 9.0c stuff is about. I was under the impression they have only got dx11 support?

Very true, but I am thinking more along the lines of UE4 or CE (that is perspective correct whilst also having variable gloss) where the performance difference with SSR on and OFF isnt so massive as the gulf in Wolf (whilst also looking a lot better).

 

[Kezen]

Sound card most likely. The game is DX11 only.

 

[Holdfing]

This part suggests 4GB:

How much HDD space does it take on consoles?

edit: beaten

 

[ashecitism]

Basically the 760 is a 670 refresh, while the 770 is a 680 refresh. The 780/780Ti doesn't have a 600 equivalent because they're big Kepler chip.

PS4 version takes up about 4GB, while PS3 version takes up about 2GB of HDD space!

It's audio.

Ah, that should have been more obvious to me. Cheers

 

[industrian]

Day one for me and my 1Mb connection then.

 

[DieH@rd]

What this also does is make me want MGS4 ported even more. (Yeah I actually liked that game, sue me)

2 time GOTY winner on GAF. Nothing to be ashamed of. Great game.

 

[Denton]

I am glad Konami are using the PC's additional power compared to consoles and are fixing most significant visual flaw that console versions have.

That's much more than I expected from this, I might actually get it even though I'm not a fan of the MGS games.

Oh wow. Well done, Kojima!

 

[Carlius]

I noticed with this and Nvidia's Far Cry 4 guide that 500-series cards aren't listed any more...

How comparable is a 560 Ti to a 650?

gpuboss.com baby, will tell u eveyrthing
