Metal Gear Solid series

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

Make sure the soldiers have the same uniform that the other soldiers have. You will see a chameleon icon in the corner if that soldier can pass for the enemy. Also, try not to run or look suspicious if they can see you. Pointing a gun when they are looking is also not kosher, unless you are behind them.

I'll see you on the beta. If it's like the Subsistence multiplayer, I'll probably leave my PS3 on constantly and host a game those 2 weeks. This game is the reason I have a PS3 (and God of War).

Sweet. I saw that icon but then I must have done something to trigger the alarms.

As for online, I've never played this game online, but the videos make it look pretty fucking fun. Cannot wait.

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

Played a bit more, and unlocked some guys by using the wi-fi ({which is pretty fucking cool actually) and I'm still getting my ass kicked. IT's fun, but hard. I think it's the camera setup. I don't like any of the control schemes so far.

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

I used the default control scheme. I got used to it after a while. The problem I had with it was the camera. They need an option to lock the camera behind you or wherever you want and then toggle to a free look camera. You'll get it after a while though. Getting soldiers through wifi scanning is great.

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

one more day till the mgs online beta is available but it sounds like signing up is going to be a pain. apparently you need to get a konami id and then a mgs id... retarded. why couldn't they just have used the psn id?

info here: http://kotaku.com/379822/the-metal-g...id-clusterfuck

oh and i tried looking around for mgs portable ops but eb and gamestop only have mgs portable ops plus available... looks like i'll have to look on ebay for it.

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

Actually you can download the beta right now. But be aware, there is another patch after you download the beta, and people are saying it's about an hour download.

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

Played for about an hour on my lunch break. Finally getting into this game. Using your team to spy on levels, get the report and then rock that shit is the greatness.

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

So I downloaded the beta and patch for MGS:O last night. Took awhile. Then I was prompted to make a Konami ID and wouldn't you know it, but the site was down....

I'm hoping they fix this soon.

God I love Japanese people. The game isn't even out yet and he's already saying he's dissapointed in it.

Psst...Kojima....wait until the game is out, then complain about the PS3.

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

No surprise there. The guy is never satisfied. Still, you say that stuff after the release, people may interpret that wrong.

[Abraham Smashington]

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

Exactly what I was thinking. I mean, that's just going to start putting the idea into people's heads that the game sucks. He needs to quit making games and make movies. I mean, MGS has been getting more and more flick like than videogame for awhile now anyways.

"Game-wise, it's pretty close to the original vision: you sneak into the battlefield and can choose whether to do a stealth game or interfere with the battle more directly. But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction.

When we first showed the game engine at TGS, the staff were really proud and happy. PS3 was a dream machine, y'know, and we were going to work on this and that - and we had so many ideas. But when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today. The original vision was to go ten steps further, the reality was just one step, which isn't to say we didn't progress.

remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create something revolutionary, but in reality we couldn't really do that because of the CPU. We're using the Cell engine to its limit., actually. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the PS3 machine, it's just that we weren't really aware of what the full-spec PS3 offered - we were creating something we couldn't entirely see.

wow. just wow. first and formost, i really do not believe that mgs4 utilizes the cell processor to its fullest ability. if naughty dog, insomniac, and iw were able to able to utilize the cell fine, i'm sure mgs4 is going to be fine as well. kojima is just being paranoid...

Re: Metal Gear Solid series

Well Konami Id is made and ready. Here's hoping to being able to play this tomorrow, as I'm thinking tonight won't be happening.
