Late and bad ports lead to poor exposure and meager sales, lower sales leads to later and even worse ports or no port at all. A vicious cycle begins.

Hopefully the PC version will be free of that fuck awful dithering.

sure, first release MGS 4 on PC then i will believe you.
Ha, you clearly missed how Dark Souls sold, despite being one of the most awful ports of them all!
To be accurate, he didn't actually say that a PC version is "in development" -- he stated that the game is being developed "on" PCs which EVERY game is ultimately developed on in the first place.
So let's not get ahead of ourselves. As of right now, there is simply no PC version of the game in development.

Another reason for me to hold out on getting a next-gen console.
Cheers, Kojima!

Are you referring to the alpha-to-coverage without sufficient samples per pixel (for hair etc.)? On PC, you'd fix that by having more samples per pixel, that is, AA.

I think it will be managable with some transparency AA.
Perhaps will be doable with SSAA or some PPAA. Strange that the trailer released literally had 0 AA.
I will buy this immediately on release. I love how artistically created these games are even when I think the story is a bit insane some times.
That was the title from the second thread with the quote "We are making it, and we hope to put it out as well."
Then clarification is needed because those quotes in no way imply that a PC version of the game actually exists.

I really hope it'll be released with or shortly after the console versions.

If they are making it why would they "hope" to put it out? They wouldn't be spending resources and developing it now if only hoping to put it out.
I edited the title again to reflect the full statement and added the part where he said it might not release.
I agree, it's a self conflicting statement.
Well he says "we are making it and we hope to put it out as well" referring to a PC version. Which to me implies there is a developed PC build (probably as a base for the console versions?), but refining it enough for sale (visual options, QA, KB/M support) is what their hoping to do in the future. It's definitively a more positive situation than a game such as MG:R.
Its funny how companies continue to blame consumers while making the same mistakes.

This is such great news. Damn damn! Fine by me if it doesn't launch right away.

It's probably just a poor translation, who knows.

Yep, Division and Destiny to go. Destiny is highly probable considering its Activision Blizzard and FPS.
I'm very happy to hear this Kojima, cant wait.

Fox Engine was created on PC, first presentation of MGSV run on PC, so PC version exists, but putting game on PC and programming it on PC is different. When You publish game, You need to cover Q&A, different specs etc, its not just putting on DD.
Well Bungie is contracted for a PC version for the sequel, so it's just a time/patience consideration.
Also The Divisions dev posted this on Facebook apparently:
"We are optimizing the experience for next gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox One), as we are creating a next-gen game. However, we are not ruling out any platforms for the future."

Rising, Lords of Shadow, and Lords of Shadow 2 are already coming to PC. I think it's definitely going to happen. Konami seems to be changing the way they do business coming into the next generation. Porting games across PC, PS4 and XB1 is going to be very easy because of the x86 architecture. I think we're going to see an all time high of Japanese games being ported to PC this coming generation.
Do we know how DMC4 and DmC sold on PC?

Wait, not that this surprises me a lot but... Are you just guessing or they said something about it?

I can't wait for something that might not come out.
I would love to play it on pc if it was day 1, but as it stands, i gotta go with the ps4 version.

They said they 'aren't ruling out future platforms' on Facebook.
Even if they come out way later than consoles I don't mind since I won't have to spend 400$ on a new console. And to get the most out of Destiny and The Division I'd have to pay for ps+ witch is something I really don't want to do.
These guys, Square Enix, and From Software seem to be taking a path similar to how Capcom developed its MT Framework games -- develop on a PC engine first, port to console, then release the "original" PC version when they feel like it. In Capcom's case, this usually resulted in excellent PC ports. Hopefully this becomes a trend with the big Japanese companies.
Eh, I think Capcom, Sega, Namco etc have already seen which way the wind is blowing.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
If it comes out on PC, someone should Kickstart a mod to insert David Hayter's voice back in.
HAHA Id contribute to that.
PC version of MGS5 excites me but, since consoles are first, then it looks like Ill be double dipping on another MGS game.
