Wait Konami might show MGS PC Collection today?
HA! Yeah that's the one, man i searched for over 10 minutes now and couldn't find it.
Thanks!
I have no idea how you figured that out from dum dum dum dum dum.

Well, I figured it out from the "wait" part. Guess him and me just have a high brain synch ratio concerning filler music.

I think I've played that version. At least I've played some english patched Policenauts on my PSP. Ran great and the game is awesome. Playing it after most of the Metal Gears was cool because you have a million moments where you go "Holy shit that's what he's referencing!" because there's just so much Snatcher and Policenauts in MGS. God damn Meryl is in Policenauts and the music you linked is in MGS too!
that was the sweepstakes?Sweepstakes for those with retail copies getting a chance to win action figures or a puma parka.
Now bring on the announcements
hah, konami has had a press release about that on their site since the 14th...

Is there any news about the PC version getting an exclusive mission like Deja Vu and Ramais Vu at launch? That would be neat but obvs not a dealbreaker.

Days hyping something just to be that.
Oh well I give up. I don't think we'll get anything before the Game Awards 2014, if much.

i wouldn't say it's over yet, i expect we'll still get a run down of what was talked about on sunday at least. maybe some screens/specs/price.
it might be our beloved torashiro channelling that bomberman trolling again

I....at this point even an Nvidia blog post would do, with pics.

I kind of read it as "Announcements of Sweepstakes" from the jump, so I am not disappointed! ^_^
I remember trolling him on the konami live stream after that bomberman announcement saying he got banned on GAF. First he was pretty shocked. That made my day
we'll probably get something later
maybe just popcicle turning up to tell us when to expect more, but i think we're due a rundown of what was said in akihabara

I think a collection of the original MGS games on PC is entirely possible, but will probably depend on how well the Steam versions of Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain sell.

Hell, why the heck not, I'll take PC versions of Snatcher and Policenauts. Maybe Konami would rather port the 'best' versions of these games, which are console-borne, yet I think the PC originals would be historically interesting.
Great to see this is an internal PC port focusing on the advantages of multiple hardware configurations and scaling. I hope Koji Pro can lead the way for more Japanese games coming to Steam in Japan as well, assuming Konami wants money.

So is there any direct feed footage yet or what?

Ground Zeroes and TPP are going to be fucking doorbusters. Remember how well Revengeance sold? It was in the top ten for weeks. Apply that to a mainline MGS, and you're set.
I think it's a matter of when, not if. And that when is probably a long long time from now.

I agree, but sales numbers will be the best way to convince Konami that there's demand for the MGS series on PC. I can't imagine Ground Zeroes or Phantom Pain not selling well.

Does this indicate that the game actually needs three GTX 980s to run at 4K? I hope it's well optimized.
I'm sure Konami knows that there is demand for the MGS series on PC.
I'm sure at this point every publisher knows that there is demand for "*x* popular franchise" on PC. PC has gotten big enough/diverse enough that just about any already popular franchise will probably do well - from sports games to action games to etc etc etc.

It is what they demonstrated but you're falling for the same old "max settings 4k optimisations" stuff people bring up. We don't know what the features are in the game to determine how demanding it would be to run at 4k and "maxed" let alone if nvidia have added there own stuff in the mix. Some of the feature may be very excessive, maybe they super sample, maybe it doesn't even need tri sli but that is what they want to demo. Again, it's all unknown.
no not really. for shows like this they tend to just bust out as much hardware as possible
Useful for lower end hardware. Good to see them looking at being flexible. Still that 60fps cap though...
Ahh, bummer but sort of expected. Would have loved see it at 120fps. Getting my GTX970 is reminding me how buttery games look at high framerates. Blood dragon at 120fps *swoon*

Arbitrary 60fps lock? ehh.....

60 FPS max?

Thanks, Durante, in advance.
Weren't his code injections limited to DX9 games?
Anyhow, 99% of gamers is still on 60hz monitors. Sure, that 1% will be loud as hell, but at least rest of the engine looks to be shaping out great. We will get few PC-exclusive things. Most important thing is that game is optimized well and that there are no bugs.

60FPS is completely fine with me, i would turn on VSync anyway because fuck screen tearing, so i don't need more.

It would still be nice to have more options, though.
How often do I have to tell you people that I don't care much about framerates above 60?
I'm the IQ guy, not the framerate guy. If I had that kind of performance to spare I'd use it to double my resolution. IQ, man, do you see it?
The only English Policenauts is the Fan translation.

Please let us play GZ at 8k at silky smooth 7 fps.

I think this is the appropriate place for the "Why not both?" gif.
But in the coming years when were all sporting 120hz displays this game will not fully support it, think of the future man.
We don't have the cobalt/nanotube/whatever sci-fi 100 GHz GPUs yet, that's why
Of course, I'm all in favor of games supporting arbitrary framerates (and I think it's a silly design and engineering decision not to take that into account from the start), but it's not nearly as important to me above 60 FPS as resolution is.
nah turned out to be junk. pretty disappointed

I really thought the green lettering was to do with Nvidia.
What a supposedly weird time to announce sweepstakes, just after the Nvidia showcase in Japan.
