I'll start to believe it when I have MGS4 booted up on my Deck, played through the entirety of it and see the credits roll.

Honestly, do you really think releasing this game on Steam would "save it"? PC multi/gaas/service market is pretty packed up already and any possible launch buzz went out of the window with the Egsclusive

Probably not in the long run. But it would have brought a decent amount of new players (and revenue) initially.
Idk man I still think capcom's doing some number fudging on these quarterly updates they give on games. I've seen things like the original dragon's dogma selling something like 300k in a quarter, or the breath of fire series selling +200k and I find that incredibly hard to believe. Who is buying these ancient niche games in that large of a number a decade or more later? I don't even think a new breath of fire would sell that much in a single quarter lol.

I did get Dragons Dogma for Nintendo Switch because I never played it and it turned out to be not only an awesome port but also an amazing game. Another thing to note is that since last year, it has been regularly on sale for dirt cheap ( like $5 or less) so the crazy numbers don't sound so strange to me.
The way Capcom unfucked itself is quite admirable, really.

thats the whole thread – there are a lot of points in here where you should go "thats not how you do it!" – releasing a game in a buggy state, having devs crunch to fix it, release a TON of dlc...none of those points I would view as good.
but there is one thing i agree with: magicka was fun to play!
Reason: typo

C'mon, there are a lot of other p1-3 titles I'd like to see make their way to PC before MGS is one of them
Am I dumb or did the person writing the snarky tweet didn't even link to the source ?
i didnt see a link either, a quick search led me to this however Steam Reportedly Getting Classic PS1, PS2, and PS3 Games
edit: and this tweet by OopsLeaks is their source
It's Konami, it's gonna be the raw PS1 versions running in some bootleg emulator
I'm trying to make Le Pertti proud by learning French through A Plague Tale 2, is honestly a bit exciting to recognize a few words here and there.
Ah mais c’est super ça! Bientôt on peut parler en français quand on joue warzone.
This post reminded me that I own the Fates collector's edition which came with all 3 versions/variants on one cartridge. Very lame that you needed to buy 2 copies of the game and DLC to get the full experience, but of course that's a system Nintendo has normalized with Pokemon and somehow get no pushback on it. I couldn't remember where my copy of Fates was so I had to search for it and when I finally found it I saw that the case is sealed. That means I never played Fates even though I thought I did. Imagine how poor my memory is that I thought I had played a game that I haven't. I'm sure I played Awakening and I think I played the Fates characters in Warriors so that might be where the confusion came from (but not really, my memory is actually rubbish).
I think 350-400k is far too high an estimate. I would guess under 200k, closer to 150. I'm quite curious as to how this game is going to review... specifically I'm wondering whether reviewers let their distaste for JK Rowling influence their review scores or whether they even review the game or not.
I know you're not serious with this post but there isn't a chance in hell MGS4 is getting ported. The best case has to be a port of the MGS HD collection that came out on Vita and I think PS3. The laziest outcome would be just putting MGS 1 and 2 on Steam (they are already on GOG).
I remember playing Magicka right when it released, and yes it was broken as fuck. It was also really hard. It was tuned for co-op gameplay and the difficulty didn't scale down if you were playing it alone, which I was. I remember I had stumbled upon some completely broken spell combo and I had to use that to get through many parts of the game including the boss fights. It was a fun game for sure.
Although, to see him talk about their system of releasing 60 DLCs for a game and saying that they have perfected the best business model in premium gaming is just
oh yeah... man, i had forgotten about that, it was way too hard for solo play but that one spell made everything trivial.I remember playing Magicka right when it released, and yes it was broken as fuck.

and yep, thats what i mean, it struck me as irksome, to say the least. Paradox is one of the worst when it comes to DLC, sad to see they see that as a good thing.
I checked the Magicka store page, they got a total of 24 DLCs for that game, but I think other Paradox games are even worse (your "60" number might not be far off for some)
My inner child is working me to buy a PS5.
My rational adult says it's stupid, there are a handful of exclusives each year, and this stupid shit is not back compat with early Playstation.
My inner child says fuck you, I loved those console days.
My rational adult answers that they are gone.
I'm a little depressed.

My advice would be that if your PC is beefy enough, just resist the temptation. I had the same dilemma when the consoles came out, bought both and now I barely use them, not because they're bad or anything, but I just can't find the time for them.
I never even knew Rhapsody got sequels. Is this the first time they're being localized?
Yeah, they mentioned it during the stream that it's the first time they're being localized.
Buy a Steam Deck. If you already have one, buy a second one.
60 isn't a made up number. Crusader Kings 2 currently has about 30 listed DLCs but...
These 4 packs are bundles that combine 40 DLCs that used to be sold individually. There used to be well over 60 DLCs for the game before they whittled it down by making these packs.
Idle Thumbs died for this?
I mean MGS1 and 2 have PC ports, 1 is still on gog (2 was removed due to licensing), so it's probably those, but that isn't to say theyre the most up to date ports. Konami will shit out whatever version of the code they have and let fans fix them up.
For older console gaming it’s pretty neat. I’m playing Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon NDS on it right now.
It would certainly be better if the Deck UI was even nearly stable and the emulators were coherently hotkeyed Instead of each one looking like an headless chicken running in the opposite direction. 1tb sku would be better too.
But yeah, I can see the thing as a retro console replacement.
Not really what I’m looking for, but I’m not sure what the fuck I’m looking for and if it even exists anymore. Certainly not a windows or even linux OS without the second coming of the ten-foot UI, though.

Ps5 is currently not worth it with so many games coming to PC anyways. Haven't touched mine since Ragnarok. Still have 13 Sentinels installed (but that's on Switch too) and will be buying Where the Heart Leads in the future since everything points to the PC version being cancelled due to the Meta acquisition.
God, I want MGS2 and 3 on Steam so bad. I've been itching to replay them really badly for a few years now. Shit, at this point I'd gladly take Twin Snakes if that's what it has to be. I'm assuming PS3 means the HD Remasters and not MGS4, though. As much as I'd love for MGS4 to get out of PS3 jail, I'm not getting my hopes up that they bothered to untangle that fucking mess.
Also, unrelated but I swear to God if S-E doesn't release the new Theatrhythm game on PC I'm gonna lose it...
Platforms were entirely speculation. There’s no word that a PS1, 2 or 3 game is coming, just that some MGS ports are on the way.
If I were a betting man I’d say it’s 1-3.
Regardless, I wouldn’t get my hopes up for MGS4.
Acknowledged that those rumors have no source, after seeing Konami outsourcing 4 new Silent Hill projects I think a Metal Gear revival is likely as well
Well, they seem like they're actually trying to bring Silent Hill back in a meaningful way. So one can only hope that their biggest IP is going to receive a similar treatment...Watch it be just the old PC ports of 1 & 2 lol
That moment when you release update faster on Steam than on your own launcher XD
If Konami does decide to remake any of the old MGS games they better use the Hayter audio tracks. I can't even begin to imagine the community backlash if they get some new voice actor(s) for a remake. Shit will be wrong on so many levels. I don't think Konami is prepared for it and it would be very hype deflating if they decide to do something stupid.
I honestly don't want a remake or reboot. Just bundle the Legacy collection and bring it to Steam. If you can't include MGS4 then at least do the 360 collection. It should be an easy port job for modern platforms.

Random thought after watching the Last of Us episode 3: Nick Offerman would make an amazing Harry Du Bois.
Square Enix should hurry up announce a PC version of FF7 Rebirth.

FFXVI Steam version
FF7 Rebirth
Stranger of Paradise....
A lot of things to announce, I must say hahha
Or, alternatively, a lot of games to just drop on the EGS and then forget about.
I don’t think Epic are paying for games anymore, so I don’t think S-E will bother with EGS if no cheque is attached.
See: all the S-E games on Steam that Epic didn’t moneyhat.
I know people keep citing Kingdom Hearts, but that seems to be an outlier at this point. They’re clearly either tied down by some longer term deal, or they’re going to treat the Steam release as a big deal and release it to some fanfare at an event or stream.
