I played through it on PS3 and I would love to see it come to PC. There would be better visuals and resolutions, and it would be interesting with the K&M. The story is worth $80 alone. I actually cried near the end of the game. What does everyone think? The first one was on PC so why not bring the 4th one to PC?

Nope, the controls would be a nightmare! It plays fine on the PS3, so I say leave it there.

I certainly wouldn't mind it, though the game would take up an *** load of HDD space, it used most of a dual layer Blu Ray disc if I remember, but then again, the textures,etc could be stored and compressed and decompressed when the game loads up. Either way, the game would still use alot of HDD space. But yeah a controller would be a good thing to have.

As i don't own a PS3 my answer is yes. I would love to play it on the PC only if it is done right. We all know what ported games are like.

I would like to see MGS4 on PC as it looks fantastic on PS3 but it would be even better(textures,etc.) on PC. I don't like how sony is like "Exclusive to PS3" as it means you have have to buy a console just for a game. Mind you MSG4 is a highly rated game that would probably sell a million times better if it was sold on other platforms.

The MGS...umm 2? (the one with the oil rig) was a terrible port to PC. I think it would be better ported to the 360. But if it were to be ported and ported well, than 360/PC.

Dun mind having it on the PC. I kept hearing people raving about it so I've wondered whats the hoo-haa all about. I'm not dying for it tho, it's simply a general curiousity. If it doesn't get ported, I really don't care actually.

A Blu-Ray only holds 25GB (single layer) and I'm pretty sure it MGS4 was entirely uncompressed. Even if they used a dual layer Blu-Ray (50GB), I wouldn't consider a 50GB install to be a ton of space these days......

Wouldn't that make it the largest pc game ever (50gb)? I agree though, not a terribly big deal as most people have HD's with 100's of gigs these days. Personally I am not interested in the game (never liked games where you spent more time watching it then playing it), but if it came to the PC I am sure there are people who would enjoy it.

I'd love to play it because i don't own a PS3... but I'm not sure how it would do on PC. Not to mention the space on your system it would take up. Talk about a system hog.

I'd love to see MGS4 on the PC, it's a pretty good game actually. Although the environments lack the sense of large scale that many PC gamers adore these days, the gameplay is rich and varied (or allows for that experience).

Although I apparently wasn't overly enamored with the game since I haven't finished it, and stopped playing quite a while back with intentions of continuing, but other games seem to keep taking priority.

Ah, the cinemas and story ;) Presented properly and in proper doses, I can be drawn into a story -- Half Life for instance. MGS4 goes way overboard for my tastes. In fact, for pc gamers that game with a desk/monitor configuration (myself), I have a hard time imagining many of them pleasantly sitting through the lengthy cinemas watching a complex story unfold.

When I finally return to MGS4, I'll probably just skip the cutscenes, I wasn't paying much attention to the story anyway but rather awaiting my next turn to play. A number of PC gamers would likely appreciate the gameplay though, I'd be all for bringing it to the PC.

I would love to see MGS4 ported to PC. I would only buy it if it was a good port though. Tehy would have to provide a demo before purchase.

I'd like every "exclusive" console game stays as "exclusive" at its respective platform.

while I will not mind MGS 4 coming to the PC (good for those who want to play it) I am personally least interested in it. The MGS games were one of the major reasons I bought a PS2 but when I played it half the time I felt sleepy and the other half time I felt like pulling out my hair after seeing so much stupidity in on game

I wouldn't say i wanted "ported", because that means they take the graphics that are far inferior to the PC's capability and vomit it all over your screen in a big, ugly, blurry, blotchy mess. I'd like to see the game on the PC - only if they revised it to PC standards; which means they might actually have to do some re-rendering...
