Finally, the Metal Gear Solid 4 Games Convention trailer has been rated by the USK, dubbed the "Camp Trailer." It is also, as specified earlier, listed as for the PC. The last Metal Gear Solid to makes its way to PCs courtesy of Konami was Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance.

I think it's going to stay exclusive for the PS3.

The PC market is different than the console market. It would still be PS3 exclusive. It's the same as if it came out on the GBA or a Cell phone. These markets don't compete against each other.

Why does everyone want MGS4 to go multiplat, everyday there's a new "source" to feed this rumour. Personally I think it will atleast stay exclusive. Bioshock though has a much better chance to come to the PS3 though, since Peter moore has hinted that it might be coming, and the devs were working on the game for the PS3 at one time, seems much more likely then MGS4 going multi-plat.

Wrong. Otherwise Bioshock would be an exclusive. PC is considered a gaming platform.

You just started 20 pages of posts..I'll start it..PC is a system and if a game shares the pc as a platform, it's a multiplat game.

I'd love it to come to PC. I just upgraded my comp to one of the highest CPUs, ram sticks and graphics cards that Dell has available. So, yeah I think I have a chance to run MGS4.

Thing is that USk ( the german verison of the ESRB and the source of the rumor) has released info on 3 xbla games before they were announcedand Beautiful Katarmi...so even though it should be taken as a grain of salt, it could be true based on past experience.

I have no idea. I just don't, hence the 'some reason' part.

Edit: I was thinking too much of MGS3 and the whole switching from third person to first person thing plus the camera angles, though they fixed the camera angles in the re-release and from what I heard, MGS4 can be played entirely from a first person perspective. Can't remember where though.

It would be cool if MGS4 came to the PC, but it would be at a later date no doubt.

why? Crysis can run on it and it's requirements trumps the ps3's tech specs. If Crysis can be work so can MGS4.

Well me and Kojima (along with his translator) were just talking about ZOE3 and MGS4 while drinking iced coffees from Dunkin Donuts. He told me how he just gambled away all his money, so multiplatform MGS4 is likely.

If i'm right, i'll laugh at you, thats how confident I am.

I'll wait till after the show, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see it go to the PC. It would be a good way to recoup the money spent on development, but still save face for both Konami and Sony by not having it on the 360.

Bu..bu..GRAW 1? :cry:

Exactly, GRAW is a mulitplat series, and when it became AAA it wasn't a true AAA.

Gamespot rules graw 1 is exclusive. Seeing how the 360 version is a completely different game then the only systems versions. Fanboys just cant give up.

Just like the same way I will be able to play GeoW on PC without having to buy some defective console.

Hater, dont belive me then PM me, ill prove it to you

:lol: I don't care, I just wanted to see how you would respond and I must say I'm impressed. I thought you would've attacked me like the other guy saying

"Well I can buy GeOW on PC" Gears sucks, if you'll spend money to maximize it on PC your a fool. OMG TEH EXTRA CHAPTERS...360 IS TEH PWND!!1!. I'm not even a lemming, I just found no reason to buy a PS3 when the 360 will give me the same enjoyment. Saved me $200 (at the time there was no $500 PS3)

If it goes to PC, I see no logical reason why it wouldn't also go to 360. that port would be relatively simple.

...and the circle begins again...

Haha, well take my word for it, i heard maybe 20 times from high ranked people that MGS4 is exclusive to PS3

on the other subject, my advice to you would be get a PS3 also, i thought id be fine with just a PS3, but i needed a 360, Mass Effect was probably the main thing that set me over, but the truth is

if you wanna have the best Next Generation experiance, PS360 is the ultimate path

I might get a PS3 in the near future. But my friend has PS3 so I just go tohis house and play it. I already plan on buying LittleBigPlanet and MGS4just to play it at his house. I'm waiting for the PS3 to be $400. As great and promising the library is, I don't feel that it justifies spending $500.

My 2 cents: #1- Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3 is Hideo Kojima's last MGS game.All other versions+ports will not be handled by him. #2- The last MGS game did not sell more than 5 million copies.Claiming MGS is Playstations biggest title whilst Gran Turismo exists(The last Gran Turismo sold more than 8 million copies,if you're wondering),is laughable. #3- MGSs biggest fanbase is on the Playstation platform.The majority of gamers that will buy MGS4 are the very same ones that have bought+played previous MGS games,most likely on PS1 and Ps2,and this leads me to. . . #4- If MGS4 goes multiplat,it is good for [[some]] gamers,but it is bad for Konami,because it will not(And I say this for the benefit of the GameStop employees that are on these boards that receive those ever so fascinating consumer surveys!)gain them millions and millions of customers+sales as they may falsely believe,and it may very well hurt their future Playstation games because of their decision to make one of the most known Playstation games,fully multiplat from day 1.Consumer loyalty is valued,even more so in the videogame industry especially by the hardcore crowd of gamers. #5- As a last observation,MGS on PC is not a good idea,it would be better off on the Wii(For obvious reasons).

You heard that from Sony's E3 2007 press conference.
