Domo Kun Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I am playing on Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance. Main story or VR missons? The VR missons made it worth buying this game again. I hope they re-release MGS4 in a similar way.

CoolFunkMan Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Well, I got myself a PS3 today, now I'm gonna pre-order this game. Trouble is, I don't know wether to go for the LE or not. I mean, I am an MGS fan, and this game is the main reason for me buying a PS3. However, the LE is far too overpriced imo...

CoolFunkMan Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Aaaah bugger it, I've gone for the LE version. Special features ftw!! : peace:
Domo Kun Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Releases of LE editions of MGS4 only come once in a lifetime. :p And probably drop in price after a week because only people on this forum are crazy enough to buy it. We crazy few. We crazy crazy few. I'm going for the limited edition because I'm a sucker for anything MGS. I really shouldn't be though. You'll have to decide if you think it's worth it youself coolfunkman. But perhaps consider getting MGS4 standard edition and another game with the extra £40, especially considering that you just bought a PS3 and once you complete MGS you don't want it to be collecting dust. Edit: Special features? You mean just the extra stuff you get with the game or will the actual game be different? Oh and perhaps if you're not entirely sure (but you seem to be now...) consider putting in pre-orders for both versions and canceling the one you don't want before it's sent.
CoolFunkMan Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 ...especially considering that you just bought a PS3 and once you complete MGS you don't want it to be collecting dust. Edit: Special features? You mean just the extra stuff you get with the game or will the actual game be different? Very true, although I got the GTA4 pack, so I'll be playing on that quite a lot too. And I did mean the extras that come with the game, sorry for not being clearer. It'd be pretty cool to have the Solid Snake statue next to my Big Daddy statue. ^^
Daft Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 And probably drop in price after a week because only people on this forum are crazy enough to buy it. We crazy few. We crazy crazy few. Haha! Ain't that the truth! And I wouldn't have it any other way... :p ...except maybe cheaper.
Domo Kun Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/875/875477p1.html There's kinda a half-spoiler in that article, but the non-spoiler important part and reason I'm linking to it is that this will not be the last Metal Gear. According to Payton, "I think there's been some misconceptions that this is the last 'Metal Gear.' Oh and to coolfunkman, considering you have GTA too, maybe the LE is your best bet
canand Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Cool another Metal Gear game so it wont be called Metal Gear Solid anymore becuse its his last mission,
flameboy Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 That doesn't really come as a surprise to be honest...I think its possible we will see a metal gear raiden for example.
Guest Jordan Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Cool another Metal Gear game so it wont be called Metal Gear Solid anymore becuse its his last mission, You are aware theres been 2 (or 3 if you count the awful NES game... 4 if you count the GBC game) that haven't been called "Metal Gear Solid"? They were just called Metal Gear...
Daft Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I'm waiting for Metal Gear Chicken to be confirmed tbh. Rumor is that it's a cock fight beat'em up to rival SCIV.
canand Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't even out and whaddaya know, the game's creator Hideo Kojima is already thinking about Metal Gear Solid 5. While MGS4 was supposed to be Kojima's last entry the series, he seems to have had a change of heart recently. Isn't he ready to move on to other things? Dunno. What we do know is what he told Famitsu I gotta start thinking about MGS5... Even though, well, Snake's story ends in MGS4. ...About MGS5, that would be something that Kojima Productions would have to make, I think. Sounds like Kojima's at least considering doing Metal Gear Solid 5. If MGS4 is a hit, it'll be hard for him not to do it. And hey, if he actually does make MGS5, then he can think about making MGS6 after that! Souce http://kotaku.com/5010401/kojima-is-thinking-about-metal-gear-solid-5 I got a blog with all Metal Gear Solid News the link is here http://metal-gearsolid.blogspot.com/
Domo Kun Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Perhaps MGS5 will be Big Boss orientated. Perhaps Raiden or Grey Fox's story? The fact that MGS has such amazing loveable characters means they could totally make other games without Snake as the protagonist and they'd be worth playing. Personally I'm so relieved he's making more MGS games, it seems he can't run out of good ideas for the stories and the play mechanics just keep getting better and better.
canand Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Yeah I am so happy that there will be another Metal Gear Solid game.

A game set in Zanzibar where he meets up with Snake and goes from being a vicious bastard to saving whatsitsface (can someone please remind me who I'm think about here! He kills who evers it is' parents...this is driving me nuts) would be awesome.
Daft Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Naomi Hunter AAAAAAAA!!!!! I love you. That was driving me INSANE!! It was on the tip of my tongue. I'd love to see a game version of that then. Would rock so hard.
LegoMan1031 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I always thought he would do more games based on metal gear. There is so much that can be done. E.g. MGS3, not a wiff of solid in sight, just good old 'naked' snake. A game based on grey fox does sound quite interesting...
Daft Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 OMFG, I can't wait! I loved the uber long cutscenes in MGS2, it like watching a film and then taking part in it and then watching another! F*ck yes!!! From CVG: MGS4 has '90 minute' cut-scenes We know the Metal Gear Solid series is famous for its long cut-scenes, but this tops everything! Metal Gear Solid 4, the latest instalment in Hideo Kojima's seminal stealth series, has cut-scenes (note the plural) that approach the 90 minutes mark. For those troubled with time keeping, that's the length of a feature film. The news comes from PSW magazine, who's been and finished MGS4, and then promptly whispered in our ears about the shocking 90-minute cut-scenes. The latest issue hits newsstands today, by the way. We were expecting long story sequences (MGS2 approached the 45 minute mark in one) but an hour and a half of cinematics was unexpected. The good news is that you can now skip or pause the scenes. Hands up though, how many of you are actually going to sit through the full 90 minutes? "MGS4's story is massive. The videogame equivalent of all three Godfather movies on one disc," says the mag. "As you'd expect, you'll spend a lot of time watching cut-scenes, so if you found previous games' story exposition laborious, then you'd better find yourself a nice cushion and plenty of teabags in readiness for MGS4's. "They can be skipped, but you'll be missing out on some of the finally crafted examples of FMV footage anywhere in gaming," the article boldly proclaims. Issue 108 of PSW is on sale now. I'm glad you can pause though. I wonder if that includes the optional flashbacks...probably not.
Guest Jordan Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Meh, as long as they are pausable... I can't wait :p Some of MGS1 and 2's finest moments were its cut scenes.
