Ground Zeroes Might Sneak to PC
Ground Zeroes has been a controversial but exciting project, and despite some issues people are still excited to see what’s in store for Big Boss and team. If you own a Sony or Microsoft console, you’ll be able to check it out. If you don’t, you won’t. It’s as simple as that. It won’t be coming to Wii U and it won’t be coming to PC. Part of that statement might soon end up being incorrect though.
Geoff Keighley took to Twitter today, after being asked whether Kojima had mentioned whether a PC version of Ground Zeroes was in development.
@ToniLanden Didn't get a chance to ask Kojima, but his producer Ken said they are thinking about PC in the future. So it's not ruled out.

In this day and age, there’s very little reason not to have a PC version of a game. The new-gen consoles are very PC-like in their architecture and a port would probably be simple and cost effective, backed up by the trickle of income as a game goes on sale again and again through Steam. We’ve seen it with Tomb Raider, Hitman and Deus Ex, and with Metal Gear Revengeance as well. Hopefully Konami won’t take too long thinking it through.
