METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN

Another bad PC porting?
I'm watching Gamespot comparison video, and PS4 version looks better to me.

This game is pretty bad when it comes to choosing what it wants to be...it mixes up pc and xbox controls at the same time. The servers are worse, the online has been delayed quite a bit and just feels like a decently bad/good set up for PC.

This is not a port. Ports are when games are developed for consoles, then poorly converted to work on PC. This game was developed on an engine that natively supports all platforms.

Also, the PC version has better graphics but only if you max the hell out of everything and use a resolution higher than 1080p

The PC looks better than both ps4 and xbox 1 versions. They are pretty close though. That's only in 1080p though, pc can go above that and it wouldn't even be close then. What's amazing is this fox engine, even on the 360 it looks really good.

It's pretty good when the biggest issue is that people who don't use a controller have trouble using a kb / mouse.. It amazes me that people actually play this kind of game with keyboard / mouse. It's a controller game all the way, maybe konami is trying to force you to do what you should do anyway.

Have you seen the video? How can you say "the pc looks better than ps4"?

The video in op probably wasn't captured at 2715x1527 - even if it was, it's been downsized.

It's not a port you nob. It's just graphics.

You shouldn't take comparison videos too seriously.

(1) Artifacting with these videos makes comparisons nearly null and void.
(2) FPS is not properly represented for games with unlocked FPS on PC. Many comparison videos are capped at 30FPS.
(3) The resolution of the video may be 1920x1080, but the side-by-side isn't 1920x1080 per game, but rather a third of that (for three comparisons at once). This makes comparisons pointless since the resolution per platform is too small to see a difference.
(4) PC settings aren't always turned up all the way in comparison videos.

Also, as much as I love MGS V so far, it's not a gorgeous game in terms of visuals. It runs well on crappy systems for a reason. Is it well-optimized? Sure. However, it isn't going to win any awards for visual excellence. Hence, it's a poor game to compare across platforms since the PC version isn't THAT impressive visually.

Take it from an enthusiast, not someone pushing old hardware or low to middle-end hardware. Enthusiasts play on settings, resolutions, and framerates never seen by the majority of gamers (this is a fact).

The PC version looks better to me, but it does depend on what graphics settings you're using. If you pause at 2.38 you can see the PC version has much better clarity and texture quality. The PS4 looks a bit muddy.

pc always looks better because of supersampling

This is one of the better looking games i've ever seen.. looks far superior to any cod / battlefield and I think it looks a bit better than watch dogs even though some say they think that looks better.. I haven't gotten witcher 3 yet for comparison, but to say it does not look good is a stretch. Truth is you can't even really see the difference between these higher settings your talking about that enthusiasts use and just one or two steps below them. Take a game and run it in 1440p or 4k max settings then take the same game and leave everything the same, but turn the AA down some, turn shadows from ultra to high, turn the effects and some lighting settings down some. You will be very hard pressed to see the differences between those 2 things. The differences are so small that you have to take still screen shots to see it.

The fact that you have no mouse control in menus and right and left thumbstick and d-pad cotnrols show up all over the game should be a pretty clear indication that is far from a pc game.
