I'm surprised that no one's posted this. First screenshots of the PC version of Ground Zeroes, features list and system requirements.

A massive upgrade over the PS4 version, clearly.
RE: The video, ignore all of the "consoles are outdated" ranting and focus on the analysis of PC port features.

That 'dramatic' tessellation difference they note in the first minute is a small patch of rock in the distance with more specular highlights on it. Good job, team. The amount of hyperbole on a bunch of extra lights that make a dramatic difference in a single screenshot is ridiculous. Get the game in motion and then talk about it instead of vacillating on a single screenshot for 5 minutes, dumbass. He also needs to be reminded that Ground Zeroes is a cross-generation game, not something made for PS4/Xbone from the ground up, so feature-wise the next-gen versions are just prettier versions of something designed to work on older tech.
A better discussion would be the differences between Epic's UE4 showcases on the PC and PS4, because those actually are dramatic and make no concessions for the 360 or PS3.

So I've been reading that Ground Zeroes has 30 minutes of gameplay for $20-40 (depending where and when you buy/bought it). I guess I'll be waiting for the PC GZ+PP GOTY bundle to go on sale in 2 years...

Well goooooood for you! You beat the system froghawk. BIG APPLAUSE! *does a slow clap and makes a really stupid face*
Anyway GZ is just 8 bucks in the current PS Store sale, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it at that price.

Dare I say, he played it like a damn fiddle.
GZ was overpried at the start, sure, but it's a fine piece of stealthy gameplay. Definitely more than 30 minutes of fun to have with this.

Was that entirely necessary? I wasn't intending to be obnoxious, so I apologize if it came across that way… anyway, good to know that what I read about it being an expensive demo was not true.

Just people having a friendly jibe. The place has been missing a bit of that. Why don't you join in?
GZ does deserve a bit of a look-in, all said and done. It's definitely got more content than 30 minutes, by all accounts.

Fair enough :) It can be hard to tell the difference at times around here...

Alright, playing Ground Zeroes on PC right now :D
It's a hell of a good port. I'm below the minimum specs regarding the CPU and RAM, and it's running above 30fps, with all settings at high or equivalent at 1920 x 1080. KB/M control settings are a bit wonky right now, but I haven't played with the settings there yet, and they're customaisable as well.
Sure, I'm an MGS geek, but so far, I'm EXTATIC. Skip Ground Zeroes if you want, but go buy The Phantom Pain when it's out. Seriously.
EDIT: For reference: i3 @ 3.07 GHz, 4GB RAM (both CPU and memory under minimum), GTX 770 4GB
