Why do people say MGS V will be better on PC?

I played Ground Zeroes on both console and PC and they pretty much look the same. Also, we all know this game was developed for cross generational consoles in mind. So what would make one think that PC will be best? Every MGS has looked and played great on consoles. And we all know Metal Gear Solid was born on PlayStation. Heck, PC isn't even getting a collectors edition.

"they looked pretty much the same..." Yep... Modern day gaming.

Conan, take it away buddy.

It's like you want us to make fun of you

And we all know Metal Gear Solid was born on PlayStation

False.

Having proven its technical mettle on console already, Ground Zeroes on PC continues a very strong run for Kojima's latest. Rather than rest on its laurels with fixed, console-grade graphics, it caters to most needs with a string of worthwhile visual upgrades. The boldest of these is its broadened object LODs and added lights - each pushing past what's possible on PS4 - and only slightly let down by a missing option to run above 60fps. With so many options to hand, this ranks as a very clean, solid conversion.

But without a doubt the most impressive part is its scalability. The game looks superb on its default settings and the notion of getting 60fps gameplay from entry-level enthusiast graphics cards at HD resolutions is highly commendable. At just 3GB in size, Ground Zeroes is a nimble and polished sample of the Fox Engine on PC - it takes the excellent PlayStation 4 game and provides enough in the way of upgrades to make us eagerly await a more thorough work-out for the technology in The Phantom Pain.

@-God-: i said they are virtually the same, not identical. Source: my eyeballs

Graphics. Thats it.

Not getting the game though as I have no interest in this series.

Because every game looks better on PC...

`Better graphics, better framerate, higher resolution, superior control method, should I continue?

@Juub1990: And he will say thats metal gear, not solid. :p

You should be banned for making dumbass threads.

To me, it's more about the Playstation feel that is connected to the franchise. You need to play this on a Playstation. That's where the franchise belongs. That's where it feels right.

It's like that.

Because every game would be better on PC. That's just common sense.

@freedomfreak: that makes no sense

1080p high/mid settings is the same has 1440p ultra settings guys

No, no TC you're right...

You already know the answer, we've been over this in multiple threads.

The PC version looks better across the board. The lighting is better quality. It renders every light in view rather than what's in close proximity. Reflections and bounces come into play with the lighting. The shadowing is noticeably better. The explosions and effects are more robust. There are higher res textures. The texture filtering is better.. the list goes on man.

Most importantly, the draw distance. Even on the very lowest setting, the PC version straight up trumps the PS4 version in object quality and draw distance. The moment the GZ mission starts, there are literally hundreds of objects missing from view on the PS4 version lol. And that's with the benefit of being a night mission in the rain. The daytime in clear weather just looks pitiful on PS4.

The PS4 version falls noticeably short of the PC version on medium settings alone. Maxed out it's a whole other ball game.

Soooo

• The PC version looks better all around.
• If performance is ever an issue in the larger scope of the final game, the PC version will have a leg up there.
• Mods.

Of course this is another "meant to be played on Playstation™" thread, but facts are facts.

So then play the PS3 version, same difference right?

And don't get caught nit picking about the differences between PS4 and Xbone titles.

@ConanTheStoner:

I personally don't see enough of a difference.

It's not that the game doesn't look better....it's that the game already looks really good on the PS4.

If Ground Zeroes is anything to go by.

@mr_huggles_dog: bingo

That doesn't seem to be that way with me, as I started MG on XBOX 360. :P

Otherwise, I see what you mean I prefer my Bond FPS (and Free Radical's TS2) on Nintendo consoles thanks to playing Goldeneye on N64.

When are you going to be smart enough to troll well?

Honestly, how much can you really see with your head that far up your ass?

I hope someone brings this thread back when TC rails on the Xbox version.

This.

TC asks a question, someone takes the time to answer with a very detailed post. TC ignored that person and answer.

Yep, sounds like a SolidGame_Basic thread.

I love how cows were on it like flies on shit when the PS4 vs. Xbone comparisons started rolling in. They could see every damn detail.

Now with the PC version showing a significantly larger difference, suddenly their eyes stop working.

What an odd coincidence.

@ConanTheStoner: That's why it never pays to be a lowlife fanboy. Never.

Because games are generally better on PC, they just are. Mods alone make PC games leaps and bounds better than consoles.

Sony fanboys:

@charizard1605: if you actually read my posts you would already know my rebuttal. But then again, it's charizard. He just skims around and makes assumptions. I'm sure youll somehow find a way to tie this back to Zelda being delayd lolol

This place has gotten too soft with the bans.

Woah, I thought you were gone dude. Glad to see ya back.

And yeah, fanboy logic lol.

I don't count that drivel as a "rebuttal". Conan stated specifically why the PC version is clearly superior yet you show no acknowledgment of this in a thread where you are asking that very question....

@SolidGame_basic: I read your posts. Your rebuttal is based on nothing- Conan's post is based on objective, verifiable facts. By any objective metric, the PC version is better, unless you REALLY want the trophies for some reason.

It's especially funny, because you call or Xbox One or its games for minute ghraphicsl deficiencies, while there are much bigger graphical differences here that you are ignoring. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. With every passing day, you become more and more of a joke.

they make pills for that now

@ConanTheStoner: Just took a much needed break. Sometimes this place really gets to you.

more of a joke? is that really possible?

I know that man, sometimes I slip away for months at a time... but I always come crawling back haha.

@lostrib:

I'm already on it.

What a stupid thread lol.

Is this a serious question?

Atleast Tc is consistent

Had to check myself because I was becoming a hypocrite for complaining about fanboys behavior, and then acting just as bad as they were.

No more complaining from me, just going to roll with whatever vibe this place gives out now, and try to be a better poster.

I was thinking this is a perfect thread for Spiderman, but too low in the comments now. :(

I already stated in the OP that I played both versions of Ground Zeroes

I already stated that this game was developed for consoles and is cross-generational.

I already stated that I am not claiming they are identical, but virtually the same.

"Objective facts" - he is talking about lighting and draw instance. This is a Metal Gear Solid game, no Skyrim.

Trophies do matter

Fans do associate MGS with PlayStation, and mark my words, it will sell better on PlayStation.
