So weren't there rumors about this getting a PC release as well?
What's the current situation on that?
Completely off the table, I presume? :(

From what I've heard, there eventually will be a PC version, but not at launch and not for quite a while after launch.

Got my cases of CalorieMate ready to ship on Amazon.

Tomorrow, I'm going to hit up PetValu for some hamsters and a Habitrail. There's a Wal-Mart nearby, they have cheap ramen.

I looked up the reviews of Calorie Mate on Amazon, saw the first one was titled 'Better than SNAKE D', and nodded my head in approval.

They're definitely going to make a game at some point where you play as The Boss in WWII, right? Because that idea is way too good to never actually be used.

In an MGS2-esque twist, the open world Big Boss stuff is actually only two hours long and the rest of the game focuses on ten-year-old Solid Snake doing his homework sneaking around a playground and putting other kids in choke holds.

So since we're talking about Kojima, I assume the whiplash between the teen-friendly aesthetic of Peace Walker and the ULTRA GRITTY tone of GZ/TPP was intentional?

Let us English posted:

MGS 4 is never going in anywhere other than PS3. Porting PS3 exclusive games to x86 architecture is a nightmare, just look at all the poo poo Naughty Dog had to go through for Last of Us.

I'd also be shocked to see the HD Collection show up PC. They'd have to do a fresh port because there is no way they have source code for the original PC versions sitting around. Japanese companies are the worst when it comes to archiving their own poo poo for future use.

I think the main calculation for Konami would be: despite all that, would it still be easier than developing an entirely new game?

Man what does it even matter there's more than two months to wait still.

The longer it goes without the PC preorder popping up, the more likely Konami eventually says "did we say September 15th for the PC version? It's actually more like...Holiday 2015."
