    Hey Everyone,

    I just got done drooling over the new killzone 2 gameplay videos that were released recently. I was wondering if killzone 2 will be released on the PC ( sort of like the Halo games, or gears 1.) I'm not a big console gamer.. and i'm not willing to put down $400 just to play one game... I guess if worse comes to worse i'll have to borrow a Ps3 from one of my friends.

    It is "published" by Sony, so no, it will not be going to PC.

    Sad how much PC gaming has faltered compared to consoles. There just aren't any fun games coming out for the PC anymore, minus Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2.

    You can wait 20 years until a PS3 emulator for the PS3 is released which will run on your high end 500 cores PC.

    MGS4 is a great game, but only for those who played the previous titles. Not only because of the story, but because it does not force you to be fun. You can just run through the game in an hour, not caring if you are detected and shoot everybody and it will be hundred times easier than sneaking, which is kinda hard for beginners, because of lack of an tutorial.

    Thats why i quit the game i don't like trying to be sneaky and taking it slow, and then the tutorial in the beginning was so boring i quit 10min in, then gave it another try a couple weeks later and gave it about 30min.

    There are so many good games in PC, I wouldn't change it for anything. Some games, yes, there are console exclusive but the ones that are not, the PC version is the best one. Especially when I found out recently that game resolution in consoles (the last games with very good graphics and graphical effects) is not HD (720p or 1080p) but lower and then the consoles are software upgrading the resolution to HD to fit the TV resolution. After all we have World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online, Guild Wars, Civilization 4, Diablo 3, Crysis, Sims, Sins of a Solar Empire, Total War....the list is endless.....

    They don't make PC games outside of their online counterpart (the dev's of Everquest, etc...that are currently busy developing The Agency for the PS3). Game development has shifted to consoles, and any first-party stuff outside of maybe a few MS titles (which even for PC are becoming more rare) will not come out on PC's.

    MGS4 isn't coming out on anything else. Optimization would take to much time and be a waste of money, for all intents and purposes MGS is a PlayStation series. It flopped on other platforms comparatively and they stand to make pretty much no money on the PC (it come out on the 360 first, which won't happen either at this point).


    Also it's doubtful that even in 10 years there will be a great working emulator of the PS3 (360 maybe), and well in the time that a great working emulator of those consoles exist (if ever) who would care that much as it'd be so far down the road you might as well just by the system for probably like <$50 since that'd probably happen sooner.

    Might have been possible, but if they were planning to, they'd have to port MGS3 first which is still a PS2 exclusive.

    For me, I tend not to pay attention to games I don't have the hardware to play. But then again, I have both PS3/360.

    This is basically one of the only ways to look at it when it comes to PC gaming that involves console games. If it doesn't drop day and date with the console releases, or it hasn't been confirmed in development while the console games are in development, it's never going to come to the PC. For many developers if it's not initially built and intended for release on the PC, it's pretty meaningless to spend the time, money and resources to port it and optimize the game for the PC due to the amount of piracy. If they DRM games they don't sell at all and even more piracy is widespread, and if they don't they still don't sell and are pirated.


    Like I stated, due to those reasons, and monetary reasons involving Sony/MS/Nintendo, no first-party releases will ever wind up on the PC and pretty much most major third-party exclusives will also not find their way to the PC either for all the same reasons.
