Metal Gear Arcade Footage

The AOU arcade show in Japan has recently started, featuring some of the best and most perverse Japanese titles. For the moment satisfy your cravings with two videos from Konami's Metal Gear Arcade. Notable features include head-tracking and cabinets that can be linked.

so its like metal gear online, just with a fast paced arcade style gameplay..interesting.

villevalorox5180d ago (Edited 5180d ago )

first I have heard of this, can someone brief me on it? Looks like it's in 3d, looks like maybe it is using motion controls too. Is this ps3 only? is this even on ps3? is this like dlc for mgo? looks just like MGO...

EDIT: never mind, i looked it up, so it's not on ps3 it really is an arcade machine... has to be exclusive to japan, because I really do not think arcade is popular in the us anymore, all the arcades around here are dead. Would love to have this though :)

Nitrowolf25180d ago

yup arcade is pretty much dead in US unless you go to a fair or something, in japan though its still quite popular

socomnick5180d ago

Looks really lame :/

They took Metal Gear Online a failed online game and they added other gimmicky things fail.

UP5180d ago

I'm getting tired of you.
If you do not like anything metal gear (or ps3) don't go to those pages please.many people such as me still play MGO. Mostly hardcore people play it and rarely turns to MW2 nonsense.

socomnick5180d ago

MGO had potential, some of the game modes are insanely fun but MGO overall is a huge failure.

The inconsistent damage values in the game ruin the games fun.

M4 takes 10 shots to the chest to kill yet a random head shot does the same.

UP5180d ago (Edited 5180d ago )

how can you call MGO both insanely fun and a failure.

And i like how you bring up damage inconstancy in MGO but not in MW2.

Nitrowolf25180d ago

well i actually liked MGO the only thing that truely ruined it was that dumb Konami ID

socomnick5180d ago

Nothing is inconsistent about the damage in mw2.

Weapons all are powerful and there is a multiplier value set for each body location.

For example.

The Scar deals 40 damage points per shot at point blank range.

After 30 yards it deals 30.

The head has a multiplier of 1.4 and the body of 1.

It therefore takes 3 shots at point blank to the body, or 2 shots to the head.

Meanwhile MGO has some weird damage value.

1 head shot = 100 hp lost, and body shots are anywhere from 5hp - 10 hp.

It was just a mess, but it was expected, the Japanese suck at making good multiplayer competitive games.

This actually looks really cool. I hope I'll get to play it someday.

mistajeff5180d ago

I had no intention of getting Sony's motion controller or a 3D monitor any time soon, but if they release a 3D patch and head-tracking patch for MGS4 I'm getting both as soon as humanly possible.

Nitrowolf25180d ago

this def looks like 3D so mybe they will release a patch ( i know trophy probaly wont come but i can still hope)

PirateThom5180d ago

Looks pretty cool. Shame it's never going to make it outside of Japan. Arcades are still a small neich here, no where near popular enough to get something like this.

NSG5180d ago

Didn't they used to be much bigger? When I was younger I had been to a few, but never traveled much so not sure how big they were outside my area. But even those have closed down since then.

PirateThom5180d ago (Edited 5180d ago )

Arcades used to be the best place to play a lot of games. At one point the graphics where unmatched by home systems, games used to be significantly watered down graphically (even though most people remember the console versions).

Arcades really started to die when consoles became capable of decent arcade replication and arcade sticks for fighters became affordable.

I mean, I've played arcade games, one was a Ferrari Sim import from Japan (full sit down) and, while the handling felt great, the graphics were PS2 level, which is the same of a lot of arcade games, sadly.

peeps5180d ago

living in the uk my only knowledge of arcades is the really old game machines they have in cinema's etc. usually playing dated games like time crisis lol

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
