Personally - didn't enjoy Gears - or any MGS games I've played.

I can't say that I enjoyed Gears myself...it was very bland to me but it sure looked good. MGS is a different story..I love the series even if it goes too far out of reach.

I can't believe this is still going on here...MGS4 is an exclusive to PS3....and if it comes out a year later on the 360 who the hell cares...by that time the game will be worn out.

I've never understood that. How can a game get worn out if you've never played it?
I didn't play Yoshis Island till the GBA remake and it felt as fresh as a daisy...
 
^When I say that I'm refering to the game already being released and played by millions(even though PS3 install base is not as big as xbox owners..yet) The hype and everythihng has faded and all you got left is a port.

I suppose, same could be said for Rainbow 6 and Oblivion on the PS3. Yet there will be people very excited to be playing them who missed the PC/360 versions.
And maybe it's me but I can build up my own hype :D my GBC will be here in a few days and I really can't wait for it. Probably just me. Yea. It's quite silly really.

Here Here! I fully agree....if your a MGS fan, you're going to want a PS3. Just like if you were a RE4 fan you wanted an NGC. Yea, the PS2 got it later, but by that time, everyone who loved the series had played it.

True I guess because the fact it sold better on PS2 than it did on GC ;)
 
And on some other bright PS3 news....1.90 update is almost here and it looks to please(come on in game XMB)

Oh yeah, Heavenly Sword Demo this Thursday.....Looks like I'll be whooping some ancient arse that day.

With proper dashboard photo customisation :) No more sickly yellow glowy thing for me.

:D

Demo on thursday - but I'm not expecting much other than a very generic slash em up. I dont think it's going to be as good as people hope, and pail against the quality of God Of War.

It's the one PS3 games that's been so hyped, but has never wowed me.... ever.....

And the new gameplay footage I saw where they were talking about how 1 cell is used on her hair :rolleyes: and yet in the footage it was like dried spagheti with as much fluidty as a 90 year old with prostate cancer.

So I will download, but I'm expecting rubbish.

One way to be impressed is to expect nothing

on a side note not a pretty image there:eek:
 
Can anyone with half a brain please explain why MGS4 won't fit on a DVD9? The graphics (textures and low poly- check out the angular wheels ftw) are subpar compared to some PC and 360 games I've seen (Crysis, Episode 2, Gears of War...). Am I missing something? I'm racking my brains and asking around all the console dev teams I'm in contact with and they just don't know. All they can think of is HD video, are they still doing that in 2007/8?

There's an industry lol at Factor 5's claims of every Lair level taking up 4gb :D these guys must be terrible coders.

A hell of a lot of audio? *shrugs*

I recall MGS2 and MGS3 having a lot of codec/radio calls, but then again, those games are on DVDs.. so..
 
Codec scenes would be mono, voices are always mono they're just placed around in an environment to give the surround effect. They could fill a DVD with years of vocal mono audio.
 
Well, it wouldn't be HD video. Kojima only uses very very very little FMV in MGS games.

So, really, I don't know.

It's mainly because Sony wants everyone making games for the PS3 to imply that it's impossible without the storage space.

Remember the "Oblivion will ship for 360 on four disks LOL" rumor?

Or how LAIR uses 9gb for 1 level :rolleyes:


So please can someone at Sony explain to me that

1) WARHAWK is a downloadable game, looks just as impressive as any other ps3 game, and yet when we know how vital BluRay media is, how is this possible ?
2) So if I do decide to plump for buying WARHAWK on a BluRay format, the only benefit is that it's got lots making of movies, when we all know that BluRay storage will not be used/filled with superfluous material like FMV - how this too is possible ?

:rolleyes:

BluRay and storage........ people need to get over it.
It is not as 'vital' as you would have us believe, and if it was then how come the only source it's coming from is seemingly Sony propaganda.

Dont get me wrong, I like BD movies - but I'm not a sucker - for games at this stage it's 'necessity' is utterly overblown.



At the end of the day the PS3 would have been just as good a 'GAMES CONSOLE' without BD support, it would have been $150-200 cheaper at retail, and would be selling a damn site more units than it currently is now.....

As it stands cost is the most detrimental factor to PS3, BluRay is the biggest culprit and should Sony not manage to regain momentum (because even with the inevitable Price cuts, you have to remember 360 & Wii will both see those come Christmas too - it could always be playing the chasing game...

Yes people are waiting for the big name games to sell units and undoubably this will help... But do you not think when games like Mario Galaxy, or Halo 3 come out that the other two manufactures are going to see just an equal serge in sales ?

If HiDef movies are such a system seller, please tell me why 360 and Wii (especially the wii) are consistantly outselling it...

Simple... GAMERS & PEEPS IN GENERAL DONT CARE....
 
Or how LAIR uses 9gb for 1 level :rolleyes:

It's almost as if the Kutagari virus is spreading.
See where these studios probably get a pat on the back for talking nice about consoles, they lose a lot of respect from the industry. I don't even know why they bother with comments like that.
-Devs know it's pure BS.
-General Public and its army don't care.

Who's left? Folks on forums it seems.

MGS4; .PSD's for textures and needless, lossless surround sound codec conversations, uncompressed HD video confirmed.
 
I'm going to tell everyone how it is just to kill this once and for all...
The Cell has life of its own and it needs to have a large capacity storage to space out and do its thang and....I don't freaking know but we've discussed this before and lets just put it to a rest shall we...

The link the coded one put up was a joke....lets leave it that way ok.

[PS3] MGS4, Kojima... what happened?

So they finally showed MGS4 gameplay footage and it just left me wondering what happened to Kojima?

Snake Eater just looked great, and MGS1 basically defined a genre - and a system.

What I'm seeing in MGS4 makes me not even care about it anymore. I've hoped it would come to 360 because I was really interested in it, and didn't want to buy a PS3 for it. Now I'm thinking, who really wants this?

It looked and felt clunky, like a PS1/PS2 game that get some updated graphics. It doesn't look smooth or have the gameplay polish of it's nearest competitor - Splinter Cell.

Look at that camo suit, what the heck... it can copy a texture and put it on Snake? Nice... look at him laying on that floor with a floor texture on his body - he is so ridiculously visible. Same for when he is up against a wall.

And look at him with that RPG, standing out there in the middle of gun fire, taking his time to aim at the guy on the top of the building. Nice.

"We can now hide in a barrel" - wow, nice feature.

"If you roll around he throws up" - umm, okay... great.

"You can look at a men's magazine to help your health!" - amazing, Snake is in the middle of a battlefield and after rolling around in a barrel and getting sick, he'll take a break to look at some ladies in a magazine... you know... spread it out on the war-torn ground and goggle at the girlies. Revolutionary, man... Kojima obviously needs a new franchise - maybe a new career.

Seriously, this game went from "incredible" to "incredibly dumb" in about 5-10 minutes.

I wonder how well this will really sell when more people see more of it... :rolleyes:
 
It has been seen by alot of people yet they still want it...I still want it.

You sound really angry....whats your real beef with this game?



Bless

He is a staunch Xbot that hates Sony as much as Jimmi, thats his beef. Though neither of them will ever admit to it ;)

Wow, another "PS3 game looks horrible" thread by Haoshiro. :rolleyes:
This game has alway been about the story......if that doesn't interest you, then don't buy it.
(pretty simple)

*waits for the next "PS3 game looks horrible" thread*
 
2nyRiggz, Coded-Dude and Ed H......come on. Its possible that people are dissapointed with MGS4. And that has nothing to do with PS3...I know, hard to believe in.

From what I've seen, Snake is sick, and looking a magazines heals him? That sounds stupid to me.


I don't think that people on this forum, are always out to point that "X" system is bad...maybe I'm just out of the loop.
 
Zap, I'm not trying to get on him for it being a PS3 title(although if it was a 360 title I don't think he would push it this hard)....Things that are in this game have been in past MGS games...I just don't get it.

Some of the things he is pointing out are just plain old nitpicking and thats fine but we have a MGS4 thread already...I don't think this warrants another one where we will discuss exactly the same thing.

All this will do is start another stupid thread about PS3 VS 360....its rather nuts.
