- piratearggghhh, on 06/14/2009, -9/+61Kojima should just stop being in denial and just make a movie instead of a game.
- Foamator, on 06/14/2009, -8/+46He made quite a few of them, and compiled them into one Blu-Ray disc. It was called Metal Gear Solid 4; maybe you've heard of it?
Oh, I think there was some interactive stuff in there too, but it was mainly about the movies. - WhereAmI, on 06/14/2009, -26/+61PS3 has better graphics=true story
- robertisaar, on 06/14/2009, -7/+41it will be multi-platform and look better than MGS4? we'll see...
- FuZi0nDET, on 06/14/2009, -5/+32MGS4 had some of the best audio I've heard in a video game. I really hope they don't sacrifice any of the audio for "better" graphics. I'm no audiophile, but this game really started to get me to pay more attention to the audio during game play. I don't even have a high end system and it is painfully obvious where developers cut back to save costs, it's audio. I've been disappointed by the audio quality of several of 2008/9s most hyped games. Audio just immerses you in the experience in ways graphics never will.
- liam1, on 06/14/2009, -5/+31"Windows is the original language video games are programmed in"
Windows is a platform, not a language, and although it's likely that the programmers were using a Windows platform to develop MGS4 (and most other games), it could just as easily be Linux.. it makes little difference. Anyway, the games are not developed for Windows or with Windows in mind at all when they're making a console game (unless a PC version is also being made). - ElGubrush, on 06/14/2009, -2/+28wow, rereading that I realise just how stupid it sounds. My intention was to say that games are programmed on computers initially. Windows is the original language, wow, that's pretty retarded of me. My apologies.
- Spire3660, on 06/14/2009, -14/+34There are things that the PS3 just flat out does better. I own both and have comparable libraries for both. There are some PS3 exclusives that just could not be done on a 360 without scaling back. Generally the reverse cannot be said.
- Rell812, on 06/14/2009, -4/+24well, whole game is supposed to be different and I'm assuming, being a Raiden centric game, a lot more physics are going to be involved.
I mean, they had to build a whole new engine for 3 because the one for 2 only took into account flat platforms, so it's pretty obvious the MGS games don't try to have all-encompassing, Source-like engines. - styx31989, on 06/14/2009, -2/+21I feel better knowing it's bothered you enough that you had to leave a comment like that :D
- duggtodeath, on 06/15/2009, -2/+21Insert Disc 2
- Bense, on 06/14/2009, -4/+19This is probably because MGS4 was written explicitly for the PS3. Kojima made many claims that MGS4 simply could not be made for the X360 unless heavy porting occurred. This is pretty much a given since they're going for a multi-platform release, they obviously have to redesign the framework.
Lets hope that after they've gone to all this work on a multi-platform engine (PS3,X360,PC) that they'll be more inclined to release subsequent games on multi-platforms (: - bjornski, on 06/14/2009, -10/+25The 72 hours of cut-scenes will look fantastic on any system.
- thatonekid393, on 06/14/2009, -2/+16Kojima said himself that he won't be working on this title....I wonder how it will turn out compared to MGS4.
- DaFoxx, on 06/14/2009, -2/+16I bet his team is just revising the existing code to work with the Xbox 360 and claiming it to be something new.
- EarthBoundX5, on 06/14/2009, -7/+20Its not necessarily that the PS3 has better graphics, but that the graphics CAN be better, from a technical standpoint.
- metaliq, on 06/14/2009, -3/+15huh?
Who gave you money?
buried for stupid. - ShingoEX, on 06/14/2009, -2/+14I wonder if fanboys realize they never convince anyone to change their opinions about things.
It's quite stupid, on multiple fronts. - illinoise89, on 06/14/2009, -2/+11...wow that's pathetic.
- seedsofwar, on 06/15/2009, -1/+10i think i have lung cancer from watching snake smoke all those cigarettes in the loading sequences.
- shinythingy, on 06/14/2009, -2/+10Reviewers should really take audio into account.
- DaFoxx, on 06/15/2009, -0/+8MGS4 was build from ground up to utilize the PS3, and if they wanted to port the game over it would mean that game would have to be heavily ported, which would include a lot of code being revised, hence this new engine they claim that they are working on. Another fact, most of the Blue Ray disc was filled with uncompressed audio dialogue and the install times between each chapter complete destroyed the whole purpose of Blue Ray. By the time developers take full advantage of the PS3 the new console era will begin.
I bet you that the game will look great on both consoles as it did with MGS4. - boxx, on 06/14/2009, -5/+13?
! - Riggaberto, on 06/14/2009, -5/+13So is this coming out for sure on PS3 as well? I have both consoles but I'd prefer it on PS3. I mean it's metal gear....
- FuZi0nDET, on 06/14/2009, -3/+11You do realize that this is a new game and it will be on all platforms as well as the PC? It's not left overs from MGS4. You shouldn't open your moth unless you know what's going on...
- ShingoEX, on 06/14/2009, -5/+12Metal Gear originated on a Microsoft system, actually.
- cyrix, on 06/14/2009, -0/+7So in other words you're getting a review of the game from a friend....
- ShingoEX, on 06/14/2009, -3/+10I wonder how many tears you'd shed if you knew Metal Gear got its start on a Microsoft console...
- Scottbulance, on 06/14/2009, -1/+8Metal Gear?!?!
- ShingoEX, on 06/15/2009, -1/+8"The NES was made by Microsoft? I always thought it stood for Nintendo Entertainment System."
Do some research. Metal Gear on NES was a shoddy port of the original MSX version.
As for the Sony model, it's just a licensed version, not unlike the Goldstar 3DO, the Hitachi Saturn, or the ***** Gamecube. - Raidy11Moon, on 06/15/2009, -5/+11No its not going to look better, thats why MGS4 says only for PS3 because it can only look like that on the PS3
- chiefbandit2200, on 06/15/2009, -2/+7I don't think it would feel like Metal Gear without the confusing story, and global commentary =/
- suntzusputnik, on 06/15/2009, -0/+5it would be too long
- bobthegreat1224, on 06/14/2009, -2/+7Or an iPhone exclusive, or a PSP exclusive, or heck, he might even let someone else port an old game to a Nintendo system with updated graphics, control schemes, and audio. Exclusives aren't a point of pride created for the consumer, they're an effort to compel consumers to spend more money to get duplicates of roughly parallel goods. Konami, Sony, and Microsoft are corporate entities seeking profit. They are not your alma mater.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -1/+6Nice technique of making ***** up you applied here.
- ShingoEX, on 06/15/2009, -2/+7Virtua Fighter, Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Soul Calibur, Tekken, Star Ocean...
All on 360 now. - Darksoul, on 06/15/2009, -6/+11@Owwmyknecap
Until you own a ps3 shut the hell up, and you will know how that is when you will need like four disks to play the game. See I can be ignorant to. - waver01, on 06/14/2009, -1/+6and here we have the definition of butthurt LOL
- TrancePhreak, on 06/14/2009, -0/+5http://www.mobygames.com/game/msx/metal-gear
- derelicte, on 06/15/2009, -5/+10The PS3 launched similarly to the PS2, which has had great games for about 10 years now.
Sony and the game companies intend to stay with the PS3, just like the PS2. It was verified by several companies. - chiefbandit2200, on 06/15/2009, -3/+8Not if the cut-scenes in are rendered in real time, like MGS4 (and every other MGS game). =O
- Cubine, on 06/15/2009, -1/+6Except for the part where the PS2 outsold everybody else in large part due to its fantastic 3rd party support, which the PS3 is losing now as ShingoEX pointed out.
- KrustyTClown, on 06/15/2009, -4/+8You are right to some degree, but let me make some clarifications to your statements,
360 has a better online service but not buy much and you have to pay for it, PS3 does however have dedicated servers with less lag = Truth
360 has a larger library of games, but PS3 has better quality games and some would argue quality > quantity = Truth
360 leads in sales over PS3 in the U.S., but the PS3 leads the 360 in world wide sales = Truth
Multi-platform games sell better on 360 over PS3, you are correct here, but as a PS3 owner, the exclusive are so good that I really don't have interest in many multiplatform games, I got to play Killzone 2, Warhawk, Uncharted, Socom, LBP, Resistance, Infamous. This just proves that 360 owners are hurting for quality titles = Truth - KrustyTClown, on 06/16/2009, -3/+7Why do you and Puft cling to sales so much? The Wii is out selling both but does that make it better? Maybe it has something to do with pricing? If you go by country, then the PS3 has either caught up to or supassed the 360 in every country except the U.S. That is pretty impressive considering it came out a year later and a lot more expensive.
And nobody plays PSN, really? Sorry but I own a PS3 and I can tell you that sometimes the servers on SOCOM and Warhawk are so full that you have to keep refreshing until you get in, because that's right, the games are full.
Please tell me what game on the 360 is worth my time right now. I've played COD4 on both 360 and PS3 and there is no difference, so take your XBL is so great and shove it up your ass. You got a whopping 2 whole features that would be nice to have but I don't really need and that's cross game chat and cross game invites. Can I still play my games online, yes.
And another thing, anyone that has PUFT as a friend has no credibility. - KrustyTClown, on 06/15/2009, -3/+7Also understand 360 GPU > RSX but not by much.
But RSX + Cell > 360 GPU + CPU
Sony whole plan was to use the cell for graphics processing as well. Look at games like uncharted and Killzone 2 and see how it is better.
Killzone 2 also has no install, it's great example of what can be accomplished with a good developer. - SoulGrub, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4Actually I look forward to him trying to make a film so someone can beat the concept of editing into his skull.
- SoulGrub, on 06/15/2009, -0/+4It would take a couple of quadrilogies.
- inactive, on 06/15/2009, -1/+5Name a single multi platform game that looks better on ps3 than 360.
The 360 is dated so is the ps3 THEY ARE CONSOLES.
Don't forget that ps3 has bottle necks off its gpu and the problems with the speed of reading data from blu ray.
see anyone can point out deficiencies in the consoles, it's easy. - UD1121, on 06/15/2009, -3/+6Insert Long 5-8mins Install
- hatdrop, on 06/15/2009, -1/+4dude, david hayter the guy that voices solid snake can totally pull off live acting him:
http://www.1pstart.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/ ...
though he's done a lot more screen play work (he did the second X-Men movie) he's also done regular acting before too. -
