Cooperation between KojiPro and Platinum Games? I can't even begin to imagine how silly and nonsensical the story would be.

Faint praise considering Black had Hollywood at his disposal at one point in time and didn't do much after his initial success.

He's writing and directing Iron Man 3 though, so it is a fitting comparison.

Despite owning them all already, I would instantly double dip on MGS 1-3 on PC provided there were significant upgrades: HD and 16:9 are the two big things I'm after.

The PC ports thing is so incredibly unlikely, especially MGS4. That's the one that would benefit the most from it though I think. I want it to be true :(

Yeah as much as I'd like it to be true I see virtually no reason for them to spend money on porting mgs 4 to the pc. ( 1, 2 and 3 already exist don't they? )

I can believe in Platinum Games doing Rising. Something like releasing MGS and MGS2 on Steam is possible (although I doubt it), but porting MGS3 and MGS4? No way will that happen. Konami doesn't care about PC gaming that much to justify porting two (old) games.

Not sure about 3, I know 1 and 2 had PC versions.

I think MGS3 is still a PlayStation exclusive until the 3DS port is released.

Finally, PC *PORTS* of MGS1, MGS2, MGS3 and MGS4 are bound to be released digitally via Valve's e-Commerce portal Steam.

No way that's true. That's just too "dream gaming announcement".

Glad I'm not the only one anxiously awaiting the 28th of June.

The Steam ports all boil down to whether or not Konami wish to make use of the DD platforms. Other publishers are making solid, continuing returns on Steam so why wouldn't Konami want to get onboard too?

Kojima: Cool.

Kojima: Hi guys, its Hideo. . whatcha doing?

Young guys: Hi Hideo, we are. . .erm. . .to be honest. . .we are still fucking around with chopping melons.

Kojima: You cannot be fucking serious. I don't rike this at all.

No, 2 years later, they probably would have discovered how to make watermelon wine.

I agree it's a bit too "dream announcement" to seem realistic, but it's actually not that absurd.
The first two are already on PC, MGS3 apparently has an unreleased PC version too, and MGS4 was basically developed on PC. Porting it would be quite trivial.
So, it's definitely within the realm of possibility.

People mentioned the unreleased PC version of MGS3 few times in this thread. What's the source?

Someone did a preview for a PC magazine because they were informed of an imminent port announcement. They never saw a PC version. This was a long time ago. This is how rumours start.

Perhaps the PC would get a version based on the 3DS remake..
Click to expand...
I doubt the 3DS version will be much of an upgrade over the PS2 version, if it is at all.
Subsistence has one very big thing over the 3DS one: camera control (or at least camera control that's still feasible to use no matter what's going on in gameplay).

What's with the lack of punctuation and capitals? You think it makes you look cool or something?

Aren't you promoting the acceptance of a lack of education by not using punctuation? Or should people feel bad for you BECAUSE of the lack of punctuation and therefore will feel the need to donate to their nearest 'Educate the poverty and war stricken' charity? This is the real question that has been raised in this thread that needs an answer. Extra points for twitter use.

Konami told that PC mag that a MGS3 port would be released, the mag did a preview and Konami didn't release shit. Is that correct?

No? I'm sure I heard that. Oh well, my bad.
That being the case, it sounds more likely to be true. MA's dev cycle is probably just about winding up in the next few months, so they can go full steam into MGS:R.

Of late, 5pb has not been doing well, and I recall they just got bought over by a Korean company. This was a small personal project by Kojima, and if it got canned, it would probably affect him on a more personal level than if some MGS project he was casually overseeing got canned.
Click to expand...
Oh! You know more information about this? Last I know about 5pb. was that they merged with their parent company, AG-ONE, forming MAGES (メージス). They said Chiyomaru Shikura (that he himself had meetings with Hideo Kojima and Goichi Suda, supposedly related with that new incarnation of 'Project S') would still be the visible head of said new company, and apparently no ongoing work of 5pb. would be compromised because of this situation. Has this changed lately?

It hasn't really changed, but after such restructures, what companies say they will do, and what they actually do are often not the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if it did have an impact on ongoing work, especially stuff which has not been officially announced. Again, this is just speculation.

And in the other news, TTP has started crying.

I still BELIVE in his rumors.
Click to expand...

Were all of those rumors intended to be announced at E3? If not then none of those comments by Kojima disprove those rumors. They could announce Rising dev switch and those PC ports at E3 and save the MGS5 announcement for TGS. Kojima did say last year that he wanted to announce his next game at this years TGS.

Every rumor thread should start with this. You can post all the shit you want but if you do it politely then you're safe.
