High-end consoles, is that the new 'next-gen'? I've read it three other times on GAF today.

Yeah. Just another meaning of next gen consoles.

Given how many platforms there are these days, using power bands kind of makes more sense.

Next-gen excluding Wii-U probably.

And screw the comments saying that the Wii-U is not nextgen.

Day 1.

PC , hopeful for a metal gear/phantom pain/whatever it is release? Or just for programming skills?

EDIT: misread it says targeted for PC wahoo

lantus · Feb 15, 2013

I hope I rike it!

Yeah targeted means "releasing on" as opposed to "do you have experience with?"

Mr. RHC · Feb 15, 2013

So this is indeed Metal Gear Solid 5 for next gen or Ground Zeroes.

Gouda Jouji · Feb 15, 2013

Same as last year then.

Ground Zero is MGS5, and it's also a next gen game.

Ok instead of next-gen Wii-U can be a Low-End console.

Interestingly enough KojiPro LA doesn't have job postings listed on a normal basis, but primarily tied to events like this.

Kojima demoing the game on a PC should tip everyone off that it's also a cross generational, next gen game.

He was also hyping up tessellation being added to FOX Engine at one point, which really isn't going to fly on 360/PS3 in a meaningful manner.

thetrin · Feb 15, 2013

MGS on PC? Yes please!

MEATfast · Feb 15, 2013

I would like MGO on PC please. That way the damn servers won't go down.

bone_and_sinew · Feb 15, 2013

Honestly, I'd rather he just build with fully next-gen in mind, forget ps360 (and I say this as a PS3 owner). New gens never start until a new MGS game!

def sim · Feb 15, 2013

PC is the real winner in this generational switch.

Sothpaw · Feb 15, 2013

Well that is certainly surprising. MGS with mouse/keyboard could be really fun.

Oh good let's shackle the developers by having them aim for the lowest common denominator. Been dealing with that for about 5 years now and had enough thank you.

You act like this isn't the case when developing for consoles in general

Controllers are a thing on PC.

But at least with orbis/durango/pc it'll be a lot closer than it would for 5 different platforms from two different generations.

Gaf ruined the term next gen in the wii U threads so I guess it makes sense

Project engineers for the latest Metal Gear Solid targeted for high-end consoles and PC

Dang

Now I just need similar news from Polyphony and I never need to buy a console again.

Lime · Feb 15, 2013

What would make Konami recognize the PC platform all of a sudden? Castlevania 2 and now MGS? Did any of their recent PC games sell that well?

With a tri-core @ 1.2GHZ, 1GBDDR3 and a 4670, its not net gen. Bit better than a ps3/360 maybe

DieH@rd · Feb 15, 2013

MGS on PC.... yess.... give it to meeee.

Quazar · Feb 15, 2013

Added jobs they're hiring for in thread, thanks for title change

Everyone is doing it. MGS1 and 2 both came to PC anyway, it wouldn't be anything unusual.

And PES comes out every year.

Dennis · Feb 15, 2013

They are probably just hedging their bets.

No one knows how next-gen will play out or how the PC will be doing against the consoles. No sense leaving it out as an option at least.

Speaking to VideoGamer, Shigenobu Matsuyama, the creative director for Metal Gear Solid: Rising, has said that his recent visit at Gamescom 2010 convinced him of the great potential of the Xbox 360 and the PC.

He said that embracing the Xbox 360 was “very important for the future of Japanese publishing. We see publishers - Capcom have started a little bit earlier than us - and I can say most of the Japanese studios have seen the importance of going multi-platform, and our studio as well.

“I think we're now really ready to go multi-platform at once, I mean development cycle wise. I think this will be a normal trend for Japanese studios in the future.”

Giving some attention to PC gamers is also a good idea, according to Matsuyama, given the extent of the market in Europe.

“What surprised me when I came to Germany were also the PC games," he said. "Living in Japan, PC games are not really mainstream, but seeing them here I thought that this PC area is also a place that we need to consider more seriously,” he explained.

Posts like this show a large amount of ignorance...try looking into the WiiU chip threads once in a while

I'd get it on PC.

Based on those comments, one would think that Konami had never travelled abroad during their 30-something years of existence.

Then again, they did make PC versions of their portfolio before the start of current-gen.

shinra-bansho · Feb 15, 2013

High-end consoles is the new Gen4.

When PC went to digital it also became a high margin market with low distribution costs and unlimited shelf space, so I imagine that helped a lot.

Totobeni · Feb 15, 2013

Engineers to help develop next-gen game engine technology for use with the "FOX Engine."

yeah the heavy lens flares use in GZ and The Phantom Pain videos was not cool.Fox Engine need more particles.

Quazar · Feb 15, 2013

So are people saying this is releasing on 360/PS3 as well?

Quazar · Feb 15, 2013

The more the JP developers get into PC gaming the better

Eideka · Feb 15, 2013

There is hope that MGS Ground Zeroes will release on PC then.

Yeah, it's not really the same situation as before.

I'm sure MGS5 will come to PC, I hope Revengeance gets ported as well though.

Grief.exe · Feb 16, 2013

If this happens.

Day one, no question.

Love the Metal Gear Solid series, but probably won't ever own a console again.
