For the first time in the "Metal Gear" franchise, the PC version will come out on the same day as the console versions. However, the online multiplayer is still a few months away.

I think "Required" in the chart should read, "Recommended"

Ummm no it isn't the 3rd and the 1st isn't the 1st. Metal Gear Solid 2 was the first on PC.

Metal Gear Solid 1 and Metal Gear Solid 2 were both released for PC (thats were I played them). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid#PC_version and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_2:_Sons_of_Liberty#Substance.

Looks like Konami wants to shove this out the door as fast as possible so they can finally wash their hands of non mobile games and focus more on Pachinko. Hopefully they get it right on launch, because I don't see much in the way of post release support for this one.

Why the hell does the recommended specs need an i7? does this game uses Hyperthreading of any sort? they recommend a 300$+ processor and a crappy outdated GPU? what's the deal? crappy port confirmed?

MGSV: Ground Zeroes had the same exact system requirements and it was one of the best ports ever.

"why does a Console port need a beefy cpu and a crappy gpu?"

because it's using a game engine that has dick all requirements for a gpu

Damn, recommended 4790---well, that means that AMD cpus might really struggle in this game, since a 4790 stomps all over any consumer AMD on the market, including my 9590. Even in highly threaded, ideal situations that no real world game engine will ever achieve.

im running a phenom II and in that with everything maxed besides a few visual settings i don't like, i was getting 40-60fps with the average being 55~ some process kicked in in the background and it brought things to sub 20 till i closed it but that was the only hickup.

also 280X factory oc to ghz edition speeds.

I am just about to make a major PC [upgrade] purchase. I came across this article while browsing inside tom's hardware. I was decided about the 6700K +GTX970. Should I rather opt for a 5820K and OC it to 4.2+ Ghz ?
