But when's the PC version coming out, man?!

Novembuary 3023, only on Origin.

I finish school in August, thank you Kojima. Praise be unto thee.

 

[Super Rookie]

The last Metal Gear says Kojima. That's actually exciting.

Doesn't he always say this

 

[AlexIIDX]

This is all ive ever wanted....I can't wait!

 

[Storm Raider]

so did everyone who said June looked at the 9 upside down?

[tryagainlater]

A summer release would have been nice but I'm fine with this. I'll be off for most of September anyway so it works.

 

[Brazil]

Oh you think you're funny? I hope the game gets delayed to 2016.

He kinda is.

It's all good.

 

[Jingo]

Wow, mad max will come september 4, phantom pain will be crushed!!!

 

[Alfebit]

Edit: Wrong thread

 

[Anth0ny]

Nice to finally have a date.

But September 1? That's so long ; _ ;

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Might hurt sales a tad. Could have owned the June/July dry period a la the Last of Us in 2013.

Arkham Knight on June, and AAA games rarely release on July / August.

 

[GhostWriter24]

Sept 1st falls on a...Tuesday...

Damn being gainfully employed!!

 

[truth411]

Wow, just realized it will be 7 1/2 years since MGS4 when MGS5 comes out. How much money has been spent developing this game?

 

[shinobi602]

Exactly the point.

 

[Various Artists]

Damn being gainfully employed!!

There is time to put in for vacation days.

 

[Liha]

Is this confirmed?

 

[Lingitiz]

Wow, just realized it will be 7 1/2 years since MGS4 when MGS5 comes out. How much money has been spent developing this game?

Alot, but much of the time inbetween was spent on Peace Walker, the first version of Rising, and building the Fox Engine.

 

[Risev1]

Exactly the point.

I'm assuming there is a very good reason why AAA games never release on July / August.

 

[Floridian]

GTA V's impact though on that release month.

 

[Alienous]

I'm assuming there is a very good reason why AAA games never release on July / August.

People have too much money to spend.

Spoiler

No idea

[Shpeshal Nick]

Ah ok. So Batman has the dry period this year. Fair enough.

 

[Loakum]

wow..if this turns out to be true, then what a massive blunder for IGN. Sheesh. I'm excited, since it's my birthday month. ^_^

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Man. That sucks. I wanted to be surprised when I woke up tomorrow. Now someone is likely going to get fired, and the surprise is spoiled.


We literally had to wait only 24 hours. Impatient fucks.

 

[ship it]

Please say this is a joke post.

don't worry it got me too a long time ago.

 

[tensuke]

Destiny also came out last September featuring a famous voice actor that people hated, promising a grand open world, an engaging story, and lots to do, all while made by a celebrated game studio that made many beloved classics.

Spoiler

but MGSV OMGOMGOMGOMG

 

[Risev1]

We're not done people! More news incoming tomorrow!!

Europe takes August off... retailers don't like games to come out during that time.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

Yeah, release the game when I'll be starting work on my bachelor's degree...fuck, you release games in the summer when I have time to play them! Not at the beginning of the semester!

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Finally a date! Sooner would have been better for my lack of patience, but I was going to be there day one, whatever day.

September is only worse than June because it's farther away, I will still be playing on evenings and weekends because of work.

 

[MakeMeFeelAlive]

Ugh. Too far. Guess they will use e3 to push it. Would have preferred may or June release date

 

[deeptech]

We're not done people! More news incoming tomorrow!!

https://twitter.com/ParodiSu/status/572825297718005761

I expect something about pre-ordering and MGO beta stuff...

Still can't believe this date , wtf man...

 

[Balb]

Hope they announce the special edition(s) soon too.

 

[RandomExpletive]

We're not done people! More news incoming tomorrow!!

https://twitter.com/ParodiSu/status/572825297718005761

Hoping for MGO news, or any news on when we should expect the PC release (please be same day)

 

[Åesop]

Yeah, release the game when I'll be starting work on my bachelor's degree...fuck, you release games in the summer when I have time to play them! Not at the beginning of the semester!

There's always a next semester ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °)

 

[Kagari]

Anyone got any HD mirror?

 

[Mabase]

I've been waiting for this, Snake.

 

[Barakov]

Had a feeling it'd be fall. Still it's good to finally have a date.

 

[Risev1]

I suppose it makes sense Konami and IGN are not talking about the leak yet if there's new stuff coming tomorrow as well.

 

[GameE]

Edit: nvm

 

[Alienous]

I expect something about pre-ordering and MGO beta stuff...

I forgot that this is a thing that's quite likely.

September doesn't seem so far away, now.

[muzzymate]

September is great with me (was #TeamJune). Hooray for finally a release date!!! Hyped! Can't wait!

 

[J@hranimo]

Kinda late, but....Sept 1st? Ok, 16 days before my birthday not bad

I hope the PC version comes out the same day, I'm really wanting to build a rig based on the required specs for this game.

 

[Floex]

Why do people want this in June? Thas when Batman is!

Spread out the wealth.

 

[STILLethal]

Even though I wanted it May or June, cause we've been waiting so long...

At least now I can play the chit out of Arkham Knight, go on vacation, come back and enjoy it.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Confirmation of simultaneous release on all platforms? Or will PC folks have to wait an ungoldy amount of additional time?

 

[J.EM1]

We're not done people! More news incoming tomorrow!!

https://twitter.com/ParodiSu/status/572825297718005761

I want info on those Puma boots.

 

[Elios83]

I hoped for a June release like MGS4, but I understand the reasons, in september both PS4 and XB1 will have a round of price cuts so sales will be potentially much better compared to June especially here in Europe where MGS is really strong and summer is a particularly slow period.

 

[Cosmozone]

Great date, actually. Waiting through the holiday season sucks.
