It would seem there is only five more hours before an MGS 5 announcement:

― Mr Raif, Thursday, 21 May 2009 19:30 (fourteen years ago) link
someone checked out the source code - apparently there's a new countdown every week until E3. apparently the last one runs out during Microsoft's big address, so lots of ppl think MGS4 is going multiplat (which would be ridiculous due to the storage requirements, although I guess it could just have you install 20GB of it).

― zinguist (cozwn), Thursday, 21 May 2009 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link
so what's on the thing now is a gloomy landscape with rain, a big 5 in the background, and a clock, currently, counting down 100 hours and 30 minutes.

if I didn't know any better I'd almost think this whole promotion was a giant waste of time.

I loved 3, but 4 was disappointing - I've yet to even bother with finishing it. There's no reason it couldn't come out for the 360, reworked slightly and put on several discs. For whatever reason, I'm not too sure it's going to happen. Probably a weird Japanese reason. Looks like the announcement would be for the 5th game, but honestly, I don't care anymore. Series should be put out to pasture.

Looks like a Metal Gear Prequel
I'd rather see Kojima make another ZOE or just move on to something else.

surprise @ e3 ? I'm getting tired of Metal Gears too.
― abanana, Wednesday, 27 May 2009 02:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Thanks for that image. I just went back to the site and it looks like the countdown restarted. Man, I really need to get moving on this "buy a PS2 so I can finally play Snake Eater" plan.

make sure you get subsistence, nhex; the vanilla snake eater is a pita to play without the fully controllable camera

Pages from the new issue of Famitsu have leaked and it looks like the next picture to appear on the countdown will be one of a one eyed, ninja cyborg Raiden
It's not that i'm tired of Metal Gear, i'd just like to see Kojima take his batshit insanity to new places before making another MG. In many ways 4 was a step forward but every step of progress came with a step back, i guess you could argue that that's MG entire history though, for everything that's amazing about it there are incredibly frustrating things about it too.
A familiar face appears around 0:45

i'm FINALLY playing this.
i'm not sure if it's the kidn of game i really dig... cutscenes and crawling around. but man, you can't deny how cool and inventive and thoughtful so much of it is. the death screen alone is brilliant.
― s1ocki, Wednesday, 3 June 2009 17:56 (fourteen years ago) link
honestly, i don't even own a wii and i wish his next game was for the wii. what made MGS1 so awesome is that it really took the console it was on (and all of the changes since the last generation like memory cards and vibration and turbo button recognition and the composite cable instead of the rf switch, but also old stuff like controller slot 2 and the jewel case) and implemented them to make a game that existed outside of its own little bubble. it interacted with shit you'd already played (CHILLING when i first saw it-- i didn't realize that games could DO that), it played tricks on you (remember when the video cut to a black screen with green HIDEO in the corner?), it fucked with your notions of what a console game really was. EVERY GAME SINCE has lost that magic, or rehashed it, or made reference to it without adding to it.
But, fuck, throw the Wii into the mix? whole new ball game. evne the DS would rule (anyone remember in hotel dusk when you had to use two fingers to solve one puzzle? GENIUS). the guy needs to be on a console that isn't the same thing as a PS1 only faster/prettier.

The other games in the series are good but the first MGS was one of those religious nerd experiences that can never be matched.

I do like the PeaceWalker trailer though (maybe it'll get ported to wii someday?)

Just started this for first time, wtf I spent a minute trying and failing to pick up a rifle so I went commando the rest of the way wtf this game is hard.

― antexit, Monday, 2 November 2009 02:47 (fourteen years ago) link
I remember the bulk of the game as being pretty easy except for the boss fights, which are just obscurely designed and aggravating. I guess it depends on your play style?
Don't you just pick up any guns you want by walking over them? They're all ID locked though, so you won't be able to use them until after you meet Drebin and you pay him to unlock them.
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 2 November 2009 03:30 (fourteen years ago) link
I see what you did there, antexit.

Back to negative though, I still want to BITCH about the camera system. You can go prone and use the scope and zoom in and look for enemies, but the fact is that if the camera won't show them to you, you won't see them UNLESS you go into first person and go into first person again and then again and again until you basically are never moving. And what really sucks is when you try really hard to get the feel of an area and the location of the enemies, you take some out, and then you go to get a tempting looking treasure box and some guy over there sees you and hits the alarm instantly and you have 50 people shooting at you. The fact is that this game doesn't really rely on stealth or a camo index or blending in or being sneaky or using the Mk23 instead of the 1911, or trying to gather intelligence on a location, or using your scope and first person and thermal goggles, or throwing empty magazines to "divert" the enemy's attention (directly to you, every time), or setting up TRAPS!!! by blowing up the food storage and then throwing food on the ground. Getting through this game without being detected relies a billion percent on the plain old tired Japanese rote memorization of areas from multiple playthroughs. In fact the game seems even more made for playing after finishing it, because the the more you finish it the more of the camos you get to keep, and it keeps a game completion counter on your save now. But being "stealthy" by just remembering "hey, there was an enemy there the last time I played, he will probably be there this time as well" is dumb.

so otm. subsistence totally fixed this issue but it cost £60 now on ebay. I'll never play MGS3 again :/
the consensus on MGS4 above seems to be... what there is of the gameplay is good but there are far too many cutscenes getting between you and the actual game. I've played every MGS so I might as well give this one a go. it certainly looks stunning in videos
― cozen, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 18:56 (fourteen years ago) link
the version of MGS3 that was in the Essential Collection 3-pack is Subsistence, btw - it just doesn't come with the second disc w/the now-dead online portion and the MSX games
― Nhex, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 22:58 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah but they never released that in PAL land ;_;
― cozen, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link
cozen check out your local used games shop, i found Subsistence a couple of years ago for like £20 and i've seen it for that since
i have to agree that the "distract the guards" stuff never really worked in MGS games, which was frustrating - all of it had been animated, coded and done, and it looked great when you knocked on a wall or chucked a magazine down on the floor, but it's like they forgot to worry about how it actually played out in the game, which as the reviewer above says simply attracted guards right to you
the CQC system was also pretty much a failure - did anybody actually play with gun + knife? did anyone ever feel competent at creeping up on someone and strangling them silently?
i will admit to not really being bothered by the game being based on memorizing guard patterns, it feels comforting
― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 17:25 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah um about that... I found a copy for £20 but couldn't resist scalping it for £55 on ebay so it's my own damn fault I guess
