I dunno. Dark Souls continues to sell out during sales and at last update had moved over 300,000 copies on the platform, despite being arguably the shittiest major console port the system has seen in years (the fixes the community made were a big deal here).
I think you'll see a similar trajectory with MGS:R.
I use the Marines I work with as a guide as to whether or not a game is going to do decent. The fact that these hardcore dudebros are waiting to get this on their laptops means that MGR will at least sell decently.
I don't know what that means.

I would love to play MGS 3 with hotkeys. That game was trying to do way too much with a gamepad.
I don't think it will do as well as Dark Souls. That just seems like a far better fit for the platform (as does MGS5!).
Totally anecdotal and all that, but the 3 PC-only gamers I know all bought Dark Souls, and none of them have any interest in Rising.
I thought it might be that, but in the context, I don't think it makes sense. Thanks though.

I'll buy it for PS4 and PC when it comes out. I might even get revengence also.

I'd appreciate that immensely. Yes, please.

I don't mind waiting a bit and I can understand the initial careful dipping of toes, so to speak, after the prolonged absence of the series from PC.

It will take something like a successful Steambox launch to make PC gaming a priority for a japanese publisher. They don't really understand PC gaming.
To be fair, like GTA and unlike something like Dark Souls, the console sales are likely to completely dwarf those on PC. I don't blame them for not making it a priority, but it would surely be a worthwhile investment regardless.

Oh thanks, didn't know Lords of Shadow was on it's way. Never played it but seems it's gotten good review. Hope they follow suit with next gen games.
Due to PC margins and shelf space, usually developers shove their ports out regardless of how previous games did since the risk is vastly lower.
They just get later and more half assed when previous things don't sell.

Even if they release it on PC, I'm not sure if it'll be much superior outside of resolutions higher than 1080p and framerate.

That's pretty much the definition of superior. Considering how much aliasing we've seen from gameplay videos of next-gen games, it seems that the perfect IQ that PC offers will always make it the better option.

Not a confirmation, but close.

no.
Apparently, I've been in next-gen since 2010 when I built my PC.
No one told me though.

So glad I just upgraded my PC. This generation belongs to it.

No need for the nextgen consoles for me then. Maybe a PS4 in a couple years.

Not quite a confirmation but pretty close. Makes me happy as I won't buy any next-gen console any time soon.

I'll take it!
And earlier and more full-assed (I just realized this doesn't work that way) when they do. See Borderlands or Dark Souls and their sequels.
Watch the trailers. That is PC footage.

this would be pretty great news for me. I'd love to play through V. PS4/XBOX One being on pC architecture makes it easier to not purchase them and get ports.
