Support NeoGAF

[Lingitiz]

I just hope we don't end up with another Dark Souls or Deadly Premonition again and end up having to call Durante.

I'm honestly going in with this expectation. It'll save me the crushing disappointment.

All 24 hours of it.

[abtom]

Please don't be a shitty port. This game deserves the best treatment.

 

[Momentary]

He's referring to Konami's LA studio, not Platinum Games, but the only special function I can find mention of is that it's leading the charge on MGSV's multiplayer component. Vanquish PC, like Bayonetta PC, is in Sega's court.

Sooo... They (Konami) set up a studio for PC ports? Does this mean MGSV for PC?

 

[BY2K]

Okay, I laughed.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Awesome! I was wondering about this a few days ago. I need to play through it before Ground Zeroes comes out.

 

[Lingitiz]

All 24 hours of it.

Thank you based Durante.

 

[BY2K]

Thank you based Durante.

Wasnt lord of shadow a good port? Who made that?

 

[denx]

So let me get this straight: Platinum set up an internal team to handle the MGR PC port (and hopefully ports of their other games). Meanwhile, Konami has also set up an studio which, among other functions, will handle PC ports of their games. Is that right?

 

[Nyoro SF]

In before no-notice steam release on 4AM christmas morning.

Grief believes so but I can't seem to find anything to confirm as much. As for MSGV, Kojima hasn't ruled it out, but I think Konami will be looking to see how Rising's belated port is received before deciding what to do on that front.

 

[DukeBobby]

Can't wait for this.

I played the PS3 version recently, but the woefully inconsistent framerate (60fps, my ass) hampered my enjoyment. I need to play this the way it was intended.

Oh, and throw in the soundtrack too. I'll cough up a little extra for it.

 

[SargerusBR]

JUST GIVE IT TO ME NOW.


Sold my copy months ago because of PC version.

 

[Aim_Ed]

Don't worry guys, their janitor is working as hard as he can. Just give it a bit.

 

[Fimbulvetr]

I'm so happy to hear it. The way they've handled this has been strange, but I'll welcome them with open arms as long as the final product isn't terrible. This can only mean good things for the future. Here's to Konami and Platinum finding success on PC.

 

[Neiteio]

*goofy-ass Raidan laugh*

 

[JoeyJungle]

Why is the idea of a release date for a PC game so foreign to some of these companies? "Yeah, it'll be on Steam real soon! You'll be able to tell it's out from the lack of marketing we'll have to support the release!"

 

[Spring-Loaded]

*goofy-ass Raidan laugh*

Using asterisk tags to denote action? Now you're just being nasty.

 

[Dolor]

Good news. Will buy.

 

[RedSwirl]

Do we even definitively know who's doing the port. From the KojiPro podcasts it seems KojiPro has a lot of westerners working in it, so I don't know if Japanese ignorance of PC gaming standards will be an issue this time around. If Platinum is doing the port in house then...

 

[BY2K]

*goofy-ass Raidan laugh*

This is my normal.

 

[TheSeks]

Kamiya had nothing to do with that

Neither did Kojima.

And the closest you'll get to that on PC is Binary Domain, I guess...

I still need to finish the Bladewolf trophies (beating it in under an hour on Revengence and no hits on Bladewolf) so I'm 100% on PS3... I guess I should get on that...

 

[Jintor]

Any day now!

 

[haikira]

Given the vague estimate, I immediately thought of this.

 

[GavinUK86]

Given the vague estimate, I immediately thought of this.

But with less floppy wieners.

 

[Syphon Filter]

It better not be no ghetto locked 720p or 30 fps port.

 

[Storm360]

It better not be no ghetto locked 720p or 30 fps port.

Considering console is 60fps that would be quite a sight.

 

[TripleT1]

Day 1. Played the hell out of it on 360 and enjoyed every minute of if n

 

[VFX_Veteran]

I must get this game again. Already beat it on the PS3 and I'm now playing NGS+ on my VITA... but if this comes out within a few weeks, I'm getting it again and playing at real 1080p. This is the only game that can beat out Ninja Gaiden with it's playability.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Hmm I'm guessing devs stopped putting games on the steam registry way before release?

 

[JaseC]

Valve changed the default behaviour of apps and subs such that they no longer publicly broadcast their actual names.

 

[Miker]

I don't have my hopes up, given the last "soon" was back in June. But the second it appears on Steam, if it's reasonably priced (I'd say $40 w/ DLC included by this time), I'll buy it, no questions asked.

 

[Grief.exe]

Its there, Developers just have to make a mistake at this point for us to pick up on it.

 

[kudoboi]

this will be my first metal gear game. can't wait!

didn't play the rest because i don't have a console

 

[Jawmuncher]

In before no-notice steam release on 4AM christmas morning.

Yeah i'm almost expecting another case like we got with Typing of the Dead.

 

[Goldmund]

I hope we all have our laughter ready when this releases at full price.

 

[TheVampire]

 

[Nags]

Niiice. I will buy this again for the right price.
MGR along with Killer is Dead are my favorite character action games this past year.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I hope we all have our laughter ready when this releases at full price.

Especially if they try to charge for the DLC which is now free on consoles.

 

[ZeroX03]

Tell that to Europe PSN. Fucking hell Konami, way to screw over the people who actually purchased the game.

Oh yeah forgot about that whole mess because of the game hitting PS+

 

[biocat]

The PS3 version is already filling bargain bins all over Tokyo. Kind of late and probably going to go for at least $30.

because the PC market is determined by the Japanese console market.

 

[GooeyHeat]

Alright, so what's the difference between "soon" and "any day now"?
Also, if we're asking for PC ports of Platinum games that Sega published, then fuck all y'all, give us Anarchy Reigns first. If there's any place where obscure online multiplayer games can survive for a long-ass time, it's PC.

GOTTA GET THE CASH, GOTTA GET THE DOUGH

That's definitely a good point that I never even thought of.
Man it sure was be great for Platinum games to hit steam. Would be the start of the movement for more Japanese Developed games on the service.

I hope not. Rising on PC is going to bomb unless it's priced decently.

How much was lords of shadow?
