Most probably PC, but I wouldn't count out an eventual Playstation 3 version since it's NCSoft.

I think its for the PS3 and PC but the only thing that would prevent me from playing this is if NC soft stamps a huge Pay to play bill on it like they did with Lineage 2.

The graphics are superb!

Awesome :D! I guess this is going to be like the MH3 for PS3 then? That is if it comes to PS3, If not I'd still look into it for PC. It just looks to good to pass up.
