PS4 is a beast.

 

[JordanN]

It being on one platform for certain types of unambitious games is one thing (ue4 mobile rendering and performance profile has nothing to do with its desktop set up). It being on consoles with more ambitious games is another.

I tbh do not consider the current crop of UE4 games on console to be representative of what typical games' load profiles, polygon counts, etc. usually will be.

???

And the mobile games still matter. Epic always said UE4 was designed to scale.

 

[GreyOcelot]

I assume Kojima has had a ton of ideas for other games he's cooked up throughout the last decade or more which were set aside because Konami wanted to play it safe with more MGS.

for sure. he probably has dozens of design docs and ideas

TotalBiscuit will be proud of this thread, a lot of blatant PC Master Race stuff being thrown around.

I guess we can't all simply be happy about getting the game, war is needed.

And yet we will further instigate this war by posting shit like this. Good job m8.

 

[Nuke Soda]

Kojima finally gets to do something original? All it took was a shitstorm of epic proportions.

 

[JCreasy]

I wanna see dat Yoji Shinkawa game they promised us years back . . .

Great job on making it worse.

That's rich coming from you.
Also the shit of me saying we should all just be happy to play the game, yeah, okay, it's my bad.

 

[WickedLaharl]

i think it's time console gamers got a safe space on GAF where they can get excited about new releases without being reminded of the comparative technical inadequacies of their preferred platform.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

If any of it was documented then I hope Konami doesn't scrounge up some ancient contract stating anything written by Kojima during that time is their property. Because that sounds like something Konami would do.

 

[JuanLatino]

is it legally possible, that kojima already started working on the ps4 project before his contract ended??

 

[Nuke Soda]

Maybe he had a convoluted Oceans 11 style plan that somehow worked.

 

[Dictator93]

I guess Paragon will be the true test. We should see a lot of Paragon content running on PS4 hardware by Spring 2016 I think.

That being said, if what we've seen of Paragon is any indication of what a true UE 4/PS4 game can look like, man, a UE 4 Kojima game could be absolutely stunning.

Yeah I definitely agree. Paragon will be the real test.

I look forward to how pretty a UE4 game done by kojima could be.

???

And the mobile games still matter. Epic always said UE4 was designed to scale. There's no excuse for it to not work on console which has even more power.

THe mobile renderer and what is done in that space technically has nothing to do with the desktop ue4 though. The engine scaling well is something I do not doubt, but how exactly that looks while scaling is what I am curious about.
What I mean with my second comment that you "??????" is that SFV is a locked 60 with controlled levels, 2 characters, and consistent effects loads. The rest are small unambitious indie games (regarding their technicals).

A more typical game would be targetting 30 with a more variable load. We have yet to see that type of game from UE4 on console, and barely on PC.

Sooo, do we know why the Q&A was taken down yet?

Can someone explain why this is coming to PC? I'm very happy it is because I'll definitely be playing it on PC even though I own a PS4, but what I don't understand is why? It doesn't make any sense from a business standpoint as far as I can tell. A Hideo Kojima game exclusive to PS4 could be a system seller, right? I'm not sure why they would let that go and just give it to PC. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth or anything, just not sure how it makes sense.

 

[Elandyll]

Dude, PC versions are almost always the definitive version from a technical perspective, if not entirely botched. Why does it offend you when someone states the OBVIOUS?

There. You have answered your own question, and that of many in this very thread.
Damn, the PC master race attitude makes me ashamed of being a (mostly) PC gamer at times.

Sony doesn't seem to be competing with the PC. Their main competition with the PlayStation brand is in the console market. Also I suspect Kojima wanted to be a little more independent and free of having to be completely under Sony's reins. So they're footing some of the development cost in getting Kojima Productions on its feet in return for a console exclusive. Which by itself also happens to be a huge PR positive for Sony.

PC gamers aren't going to be convinced to buy a PS4 just for a Kojima game. At least a large number aren't.

 

[Batzi]

Check this out Sony x Kojima

Oh, ok. I missed that one.

Krusenstem already acknowledged he didn't know the context, what's the point of bringing back up his prior post? it doesn't help to re-bump and re crap again

I guess so, since you keep stoking the fires while taking a irrelevant stab at TB in the process.

i want those 20 seconds back bruh

did you make that...

 

[Head.spawn]

If a franchise have no new games published in years, and seems to be somewhat ending, of course is moneyhat.

You mean, like Ultra Street Fighter 4?

This has only been posted 6 times already. Keep 'em coming, GAF!

That title. Lulz.

 

[Batzi]

did you make that...

Yes, just for fun. Just wanted to see how "Sony Computer Entertainment Presents" and "Kojima Productions" look like when put together!

 

[De_Legend]

So ''probably'' on PC and after the PS4 release, god.

2021 here we go.

 

[DMTripper]

Yeah on your PC behind your desk....while your friends stand behind you and watch. Definitive indeed!

I play on my 50 inch bravia FYI.

If the PC port is done correct then yeah I can't see the PC version being beat. It's not really possible is it?

Also ot it was pretty obvious it's coming to PC when they said console exclusive...

 

[sora87]

PC gamers really have become insufferable over the years. Just stop clogging up every thread with this rubbish.

 

[Gren]

Considering it's being published by a console platform holder, I'd say that's a good bit better of a deal than we could've hoped for.

The battle for console exclusives this gen (save Nintendo titles) has worked out very well for PC owners thus far.

 

[JCreasy]

Yeah I definitely agree. Paragon will be the real test.

I look forward to how pretty a UE4 game done by kojima could be.

Imagine what will happen when Yoji Shinkawa and his squad gets their hands on some Unreal Engine 4 tools: https://www.gfycat.com/PeacefulWeeklyIbadanmalimbe

And fuck it, just for shits and giggles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toLJh5nnJA8


Looking back, MSGV will look like a PS3 game in comparison.

What a time to be alive, indeed.

 

[DXLelouch153]

someone will Mod Snake into the PC version
i just know itll happen

You were pretty insufferable in the first thread.

Remember you posting stuff like being dissapointed it wasn't full exclusive.

 

[DMTripper]

PC gamers really have become insufferable over the years. Just stop clogging up every thread with this rubbish.

I read some of the original thread and there were plenty of playstation users seemingly quite happy that xbox users were not getting the game. Lots of salt shaker posts.

I think it's all quite sad that anyone would want a game to be on just one particular platform.

He clearly forgot the coma after metal gear solid V.

It was clear that what he was trying to say is that the metal gear solid v announcement is exclusive to Xbox one

Why not? If it's coming first on PS4 (as it most likely is), it will be a system seller for it. But it won't remain a system seller forever, so at that point why not release it on PC? A lot of fans are probably even going to buy it twice (I know I will..). Besides, this way Sony gets goodwill from more people, as they are not only funding a presumably expensive game, but are also not holding an auteur 'hostage' so to speak. Well, at least I think they'll get goodwill from more levelheaded people.

Lots of threads filled with nothing but love for benevolent Sony and its beastly consoles on the frontpage every day. Maybe change your homepage to PSBlog if that's still not enough.

 

[SuperDowns]

Can't blame Kojima for choosing to go with Sony - his games have a long history with PlayStation and they can probably provide funding and support in a way few Japanese publishers can right now.

But it's still 3+ years away and I would even wonder if it's going to make it on the PS4 before the successor launches. Might be better at this point to just aim for being an early PS5 release if it's going to be anything like 4 years in development.

Do us a favor and google how long PS3 remained on the market before the successor was even announced...

The only people who clogged up the thread were people piling on one. single. comment. Sure, that comment was unnessecary and uncalled for, but it was just that. ONE. SINGLE. COMMENT.

But persepective is something many people on GAF tend to not have. It's all about that stupid confirmation bias.

Nice to be able to play the definitive ver. of whatever is Kojima's new game will be

That is the post. This one. One single post confirming that all PC gamers are literally Hitler.

Oh the irony!

Some moron who needs to get his dick out of his pc

One of the best things to come from this is Shu shutting that xbox fanboy from IGN down on twitter. All hail Shu.

Sony should have threw any money he wanted at him to make this full exclusive.

HOLY SHIT BAWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

yooo

While the stuff is pretty funny you're laughing like this is the most hilarious thing you've seen in your life

hehe, yeah I've seen 2 of those but that top one really takes the prize lol

Lol, this is why I love GAF.
