MGS 4 Guns of the Patriots

[Fluffle Puff]

So now that Sony has suffered another heavy blow to the revenue and reputation, will they finally port Metal Gear Solid 4 to PC?

I don't want to buy a playstation just for a few games. Since it's the only series that's not on PC, I'm thinking of watching the full game on youtube when it's time to play it. I don't think I'll miss anything in the story.

That would imply Sony doing a smart move, that would be new.

In the end very few people will buy a PS3 to play MGS4 so who knows ? Konami can easily pay whatever SONY will demand as their annualy income kept on increasing for years after firing kojima but it's possible that Konami already got the means to port MGS4 so Sony may already have used the money.

I want it to be ported for sure. But I don't think Concord will have anything to do with it.

There was never any exclusivity deal with MGS4, whether or not MGS4 gets a PC port is not up to Sony at all. We'll just have to wait and see what Konami does with Vol. 2.

There is a dumb reason MGS4 has never touched another console than PS3, and it is because of the hardware architecture in ps3. And back then it was a pain in the ass to play because of the insane load/install times between the chapters.

This is very true, though eventually they patched the game to let you install the whole thing to the hard drive so you didn't have to do that anymore.

We've also known for a few years now that Kojima Productions actually got the game fully working on Xbox 360, but that version was never released because MGS4 required a hard drive for at least partial installs and the 360 didn't require a hard drive, so they couldn't sell games on it that required one. Who knows if the source code for that version is still at Konami or if it's been lost though.

Really miss the online component too.

If you mean MGO honestly it's not worth it for Konami as it won't bring money (yes online games do need maintenance, maintenance cost money) and while Konami do have a lot of cash especialy after firing Kojima they didn't make that ton of money by wasting it.

IIRC there is a fan server for MGO2 but that info is quite old.

Listen I understand Konami done did Kojima super duper dirty. You need to stop harping about it like this. Dropping it in the convo like that just derails whatever point you're trying to make.
