I'm 100% confident it will be PC/PS4. Seems to be the of Sony this gen to be happy for PC releases. I'd expect 1080/60 as well, but sadly Konami own the FOX Engine which is a great engine I'm sure Kojima and his staff poured countless effort into. At least those who primarily made it are all together and I'm sure can do wonders again.

 

Kojima looks pretty rough in that video. I'm not talking about the beard which he rocks, but just tired and certainly "older". Konami probably shaved years off his life!

Console exclusive. Guess that means an eventual PC release. Great as I don't care about consoles, so as long as it ends up on PC eventually fine by me either way (Xbox or PS4 exclusive for consoles).

I'd say day 1 PC release. Most PS console exclusives so far this gen have had PC releases day 1 or very quickly, instead of being tied up for months on the PS only. (Possibly not day 1 with the article below...)

Sony has revealed more details about Hideo Kojima's first game at his new studio Kojima Productions, confirming that the title is also scheduled to launch on PC following its release on PS4.

 

While Sony is "not disclosing details" around how long the game's PS4 exclusivity will last, it says that the game "is planned to become available on PC (after PS4)", and that it will be a "console exclusive", meaning it won't ever arrive on Xbox One.

 

The game won't be linked to Metal Gear Solid or the cancelled Silent Hills, either, Sony says, instead being "something completely new". The game will be published by Sony Computer Entertainment who will "provide support [to the game's development] as necessary".

 

 

Sadly not Silent Hills rebranded though :(

Yeah, the PC will have the ace in the whole for performance and graphics. I have been getting a few more games for PC now lately. I also just go Cities Skylines last week. Excited to start that one up.

    • Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are now 40% off by Taras Buria During Amazon's Prime Day 2025, Samsung slashed the price of its flagship earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, to a new all-time low. Right now, you can get these earbuds for just $149.72 (if you have Amazon Prime). The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro feature a redesigned stem-based design and dual-driver audio architecture. Each earbud has a 10.5mm dynamic woofer and a 6.1mm planar tweeter with dual amplifiers and Hi-Fi support. The buds support Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) with adaptive mode, which adjusts the strength of ANC depending on ambient sounds. There are also Ambient and Voice Detect modes, allowing external sounds like sirens or speech to pass through when needed. The Buds 3 Pro also use AI for real-time translation and voice command features. Just keep in mind that even though the buds work with iPhones and other Android smartphones, certain features only work with certain Galaxy smartphones, so check compatibility first. You can control music and calls with pinch and swipe gestures on each stem (stems also have LED indicators). As for battery life, Samsung promises up to 7 hours without active noise cancellation and 6 hours with it. The case can extend the total playback time all the way to 30 hours. Finally, the earbuds are IP57-rated for dust and water resistance (not including the case).
