Hypothetically, What would be the system requirements if MGS4 was ported to pc?

I'd find it hard to run.

Mainly a big hard-drive

It came out in 2008, so by today's standards probably not too bad even with DX11 and 1080p bells and whistles, though if they don't compress everything again then a lot of hard drive space would be a necessity I imagine, and I wouldn't see it being down to Call of Duty or Valve game levels of optimization and hardware range.

I can think of a better reason as to why the PC version will never exist: It's a Konami game

for some reason they hate PCs and when they DO port their games to PC it usually sucks

Win 7, 16 gigs of ram, 40gigs on HDD, Radeon 7000 series or equilavent...

The graphics would look the same if not worse despite being some sort of ultra HD experience! The game would be unstable, and the controls would suck.
Based on past ports at least.

Aren't the cutscenes in the in-game engine, like other MGS games?

Was it really necessary to post this in two different forums?

Also, it would be easy to max on hardware from 2007+

I can easily prove you wrong there, Sage of Fire.sundayismyDAD

The game runs on a 6 year old console.

It'll run on a fairlow low end modern Pc or a mid range 4-5 year old PC.

I'd guess minimum specs around a 6670 or GTX 200 series card. 2-4 Gigs of RAM, dual core 2 Ghz CPU.

Basically look at a half-denecent port of a modern game. SKyrim is probably more demanidng than MGS4 and those are RECOMMENDED specs, not minum.

I highly doubt it would need 16gbs RAM. Crysis doesn't even use over 2gbs. Of course You'd need at least 4gb total when accounting for the OS.. but that's the max. It would stream most content from the HDD just like any other PC game.

The textures are quite sharp for a console game, but the geometry isn't too demanding. If anything it's the shader effects which will hit performance. I think a 9800GT should be able to handle it though.

CPU-wise, at least a dual core 2.5+ghz.

I expect these specs would get a smooth framerate maxed out @ 1080p on a fairly optimized engine. If it's like GTA4, go ahead and add couple GBs, GHz, and cores to the aforementioned.

Was commenting on shoddy ports lol. Realisticly it should have mid-low system requirements however every port has been sloppy at best by them.
