I'm totally on team Chico de Mayo. This has to happen.
Count me aboard the Hype Gear too.

it was at Destination Playstation that the release of MGS4 got leaked last time before Kojipro officially announced it.
I still remember the thread that a Gaffer created just to let us know that his brother was at this event and he snuck out of the conference room to the bathroom just to call him (or text him) that the release date was just been given, oh the memories, they hype, good times were had.

Get me on the Hype Rex!
Is there actually anything out there stating it'll be releasing on PC day of?
It reminds me of a FFXV situation. This is a system seller game. It wouldn't be wise to release it on PC until well after it comes out on consoles. Need to pull at peoples' patience and get them to get the console version because they can't hang out the PC wait.

I don't even have a PS4 yet - I'm waiting for the inevitable MGSV PS4 bundle [I did the same thing with MGS4].
The only problem with this, is the release date. I am also getting Batman Arkham Knight and that releases June 2nd. If MGSV releases after that date, I won't have the PS4 to play Batman Arkham Knight!
So MGSV simply has to release prior to Batman Arkham Knight or else ....*gulp*.... I'll have to wait to play Batman Arkham Knight.
Oh the horror!

No, chances are the PC version will come later. I hope it comes out on the same day but it probably won't.
I have a PS4 and PS3 but I'm only going to buy the PC version. I can wait for the best version so it's okay.
Why not just buy the Batman PS4 bundle in that case? If you're going to buy both games anyway, isn't it the same thing? Since you obviously love Bruce Wayne as much as MGS.

You say that now, but when everyone starts harping about how fantastic this game is, and you have a 9 month wait ahead of you... I see you breaking while weak moment in a Target walking past passed the display.
Where does your loyalty lie? Which game is more important to you? Careful with what you write next, cause I'll keep an eye on you.

Because I obsessively collect everything Metal Gear and I don't want to have to buy another PS4 just for the bundle set.
Maybe, but there are quite a few great games coming around the same time as well so waiting won't be that hard.

If there's a hype train or metal gear I'm going to need a seat on it.
Yeah, but Big Boss is a dickhead.

Oh, I'm a Metal Gear fan first and foremost!
If I had to never play another Batman game again just to play MGSV once - it would be a permanent goodbye to Batman!
You're the best.
absolutely no chance of the wait, if there even is a wait, being this long
tpp getting updated occasionally on steamdb gives me hope for a day and date release.

I say 9 months because that's how long the wait was for Ground Zeroes. Not to mention that it's the commonplace for PC ports of console games. Look at GTAV for instance.

Not always, Dark Souls 2 was like less than two months. GTAV wasn't even announced for PC when the console versions came out, MGSV on the other hand was always hinted at since 2012/2013 (actually even before the GZ reveal) until it was official during Gamescom last year.

I will double dip at most. I've never in my life owned a PC powerful enough to play contemporary PC games.

Hell yeah. Upgrading my rig next month! MGS returning to PC is game-changing!
No! MGO2 is my all-time favorite online game!!
I would never buy it on anything else but PC and all the metal gears are my favoirte games by far.

I feel the exact same way. But for the single player. I have very little interest in MGO.

The usual AAA studio development process:
Development > Alpha testing > Release > Day 1 performance patch > Beta testing > QA> > Patch (usually 3-6 months after release date).
KojiPro:
Development > Testing > Kojima playing the game hundreds of times > Multiple changes to the finished game > More extensive tests > Release
So not yet.
ehhh, ground zeroes isn't really setting the rule on this. tpp was in the steam database before gz was, and we know gz was kind of, well, a rushed out product for konami to start getting some revenue in from their investment. the decision to have mgsv on pc was probably already made before the decision to sell gz separately came about.
ground zeroes was already going to be on four platforms at the march launch and was diverting resources from tpp, so i'm not surprised it took so long to come to pc, especially considering that version wasn't even announced until late august. actually, if we take it from that gamescom announcement until the release, it only took gz around four months to come out, and even then i'm pretty sure that was strategically timed to not interfere in tpp development/the tgs showing and to hit a release window for the winter steam sale.
gtav is a weird case in of itself too, and not really applicable.

Wow, is this right? The translation in Yong's video suggested that bug testing is finished, that Kojima played the game from start to finish, and that he's mostly requesting fine tuning. Plox.
