Meh, would prefer naked.

So, how many packs have you gone through now, TTP?

 

[Cipherr]

MGS4 on Steam?

Yeah enjoy your 40 GB download

Is that supposed to be something PC gamers would fear? Not everyone is fucked by monthly bandwidth caps and shitty connection speed. 40GB wouldnt be a problem at all. OTOH they couldnt get me to play MGS4, let alone buy it again for anything, so its moot really. I'd go for 1 again though.

 

[TTP]

So, how many packs have you gone through now, TTP?

Just finished the last one (of two). I'm out of nicotine now and it's 5AM here.

Guess this is a good time to go try catch some sleep.

Obviously that's his alternate costume.

 

[ULTROS!]

MGS:R by PG is probably the most believe one in that article.

 

[bigboss370]

is thats true about rising, i guess stealth is out the window?

Yeah, get some sleep.

You'll never wake up again.

TTP, stop smoking.

 

[Kaizer]

Holy shit! The E3 hype train is exceeding capacity. Good lawd next week can't come soon enough. I was already excited for Rising, but this just took it to another level.

 

[Zeliard]

TTP will wake up to find the Internet on fire with his rumors.

 

[Zeal]

bring this shit with Move support and it would move a million Move starter kits. and play godlike.

praise Umbasa this game is alive. OP, you're now legendary.

 

[Jintor]

I initially thought his tweets were denying the rumours, but now I think Kamiya is totally trolling the shit out of us. Awesome.

 

[GillianSeed79]

I honestly just want Konami to confirm the Peace Walker PS3 Remaster is not dead. Rising always looked interesting and I'd no doubt buy it day 1, but the remaster is what I care about. Of course, MGS5 would make scream like a giddy school girl if confirmed.

 

[GotchaForce]

TTP will wake up to find the Internet on fire with his rumors.

I am on fire with these rumors. Shit, look at Kamiya's last five games: RE2, DMC, Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Bayonetta. That's 5 of the most badass action heroes in gaming history right there (yeah it took Mikami to make Leon completely badass but still). Cyber Ninja Raiden's cutscenes were the most holy shit moments of MGS4, if anyone can make a game live up to those it's this guy.

TTP, if you're wrong I won't be even be mad. It's dreams and hype like this that makes being a message board fiend fun

 

[GillianSeed79]

So it's not just because the main character is named Solid Snake? Umm, okay...

Yes. It's widely known the Solid subtitle is due to the jump to 3D. As was said before, Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, as well as the non-canon Snake's Revenge all existed and starred Snake well before the Solid Series.

 

[astroturfing]

:O

so what happened to the team that was originally making MGS:Rising? development hell got too much for them..?

hmm hmm hmm.. don't know if i believe all of this... MGS4 on Steam... hmmmm..

 

[Kaako]

What the shit? That is one crazy rumor. Anticipation rising...

 

[AgentChris]

Hype!
Hideki Kamiya is a legend.

 

[ezekial45]

I love how he's responding to all the tweets.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Damn right. Kamiya is one of my favorite game designers and I can't wait for his next title regardless of what it is.

 

[∀ Narayan]

TTP, stop smoking.

TTP, smoke MORE.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Nope, not interested in Rising jumping to the the stylish action buttonmasher genre. Maybe if Kamiya stuck with the original game concept, art style and engine. Everything else he can do as he likes.

Kamiya can do more than DMC and Bayo. I would love to see his take on a stealth-action game.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

^Me too.

Maybe that's why Quinton Flynn is out of a job. 'Raiden' is now a scantily-clad Sunny.

 

[SolidSnakex]

No, it's fun! RT @thalesnm: @PG_kamiya Are all these questions about MGS Risign annoying?

On the MGS on Steam rumour...

http://twitter.com/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN/status/64981980676231168

So who would give Kojima a Portal 2 guidebook? *gaspflail*

Spoiler

Could be from anybody but who cares

 

[Ra1den]

Holy shit, is this actually happening?

 

[jackdoe]

Hahahaha. Porting a seven year old, PS2 exclusive game, to the PC of all places, is the most laughable idea ever. As is porting MGS4 to the PC.

I love how every developer, no matter who they are and what they make, like Valve. Even Miyamoto counted Portal as one of his favourite games of that year.

I lol'd.

Any way, with a game world that has fight scenes like this abound, I think Kamiya and P* will be just fine, however they decide to make a game.

 

[daffy]

oh lawd he's never played MGS series before.

this fish is dead in the water.

Why not? The series is huge and throwing ports up on Steam would cost barely anything and bring in some decent revenue for Konami. It's stupid not to do it really.

Also Platinum making Rising? Gimme gimme gimme.

 

[Duffyside]

Remember when people praised the Raiden x Vamp fight, but at the same time lamented it as "I wish I could play it, but I know it's impossible to do something that awesome in gameplay"?

Konami has found a way...

SMH. PS2's unique architecture makes the porting process for a PS2 exclusive cost more than "barely anything". Granted, Konami is stupid enough of a company to do this, but if they do, I'll laugh at their over dependence on MGS.

 

[shintoki]

A man deserves to dream so heavenly. The MGS game fans never knew they wanted, till now!

Yep. Through perhaps the one man and development team who could actually stand to render such a thing in-game.

This is a very left field rumor, coupled with some even more off the wall rumors. I pretty much don't believe anything from TTP's source.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Seriously if this is true I will be playing MGO a lot lol

 

[bhlaab]

Great news is true but forgive me if I don't take your word for it.

Don't know how well they'd control without pressure sensitive buttons though

 

[beastmode]

I'm really doubting MGS4 on PC since I'm pretty sure the reason Sony went with that stupid Cell processor was to deter people from making ports to other platforms.

However, I think MGS1 & 2 would be easy, just take the old PC versions and tweak them to run on Windows 7 64bit if they have any compatibility issues then send the files to Valve. I'd really like MGS3 but I'm not sure how easy it is to port from PS2 to PC, though I would assume it's easier than PS2-PS3 lol.

It's 100% reliable. He said so!

 

[onken]

Heh I love it when exclusive games go multiplatform and all the complaints about it suddenly don't seem so important any more for some reason.

 

[ezekial45]

I must say, i'm very to think about the prospect of a Kamiya stealth action game. He hasn't done stealth game before, but he's managed to knock it out of the park with every other genre he's worked on (Survival Horror, Action, Action/Adventure).

 

[Lince]

I'm really doubting MGS4 on PC since I'm pretty sure the reason Sony went with that stupid Cell processor was to deter people from making ports to other platforms.

MGS4 doesn't look like particularly tailored to the Cell strengths at all, I remember reading somewhere that the MGS4 engine uses pretty basic and unoptimized multi-threading (low SPU usage, not helping rendering at all) compared to most recent 1st party Sony exclusives, gotta find that link. I bet a PC port would run beautifully on a cheap quad-core with a half-decent GPU setup.
