Metal Gear Touch Trailer Looks Terrible

PSP World Writes:

"Looking like the bastard love-child from a clunky mobile phone game and a light gun arcade shooter from the 1990s, this MGS4 spinoff does not tug at our fanboy heartstrings one iota. In fact, we would wager that Kojima's other two red-headed stepchildren Metal Gear Ac!d 1 & 2 contain more original gameplay ideas in their first levels than this title does in its entirety. Better luck next time, iPhone."

Compared to how good Portable Ops was in terms of gameplay and complexity, this looks like an online flash game.

Because it is a online flash game that was ported over, I think it's available on the MGS 4 site?

Well I wouldn't expect any praise for an iphone game from a PSP site. Personally, I'm a little disappointed by the game, I was hoping for something more "MGS", but I'll probably have another look close to release, hopefully they'll release a demo or "lite" version we can try first.

lol yup pretty much. I think it looks great for the iPhone. Now we just need to see if it plays well. We know the story already as it's just MGS4 iPhone style we just have to see if it'll be fun in the sun. So far the gameplay looks good enough I don't see the big problem with it but hey I enjoy games and don't care what system/handheld it comes out on ;)

I know that if I had a 360 and had been begging of a port of MGS4 and saw that trailer, I'd be pissed. I'm hoping that the end product looks alot better then that.

It looks like the only gameplay involves tapping the screen to shoot at pre-rendered enemies.

Metal Gear Solid Touch is such a waste, especially when Metal Gear Solid Mobile looks like this:

I would be surprised if a PSP-dedicated site raved about a rival platform's games, you know? It's almost like a light-gun game, and many of those are pretty fun.

I viewed the trailer for the iphone metal gear and a spit Mountain Dew all over my keyboard. It looks crazy bad.

9 - I thought that game looked kind of good.

But a touchscreen will NEVER replace buttons fully. (unless you want to play Bejewelled for the rest of your life.)
Touchscreens are nice, but for great controls in games, you NEED buttons. Even the DS has face buttons, shoulder buttons, and a d-pad because Nintendo knows more about gaming than Apple does.

Obviously it's going to look terrible. It's MGS on a phone/ipod. I still think it's funny that the xbots were all excited because they thought the green power button meant that it was going to be on the 360 and they started to anticipate it. Once they figured out it was for the iphone/ipod they started to bash it again. lol

lol I remember. They were so excited about the game at the time and some sweared that it's coming to the 360! Good job Kojima in milking tears our the bots eyes.
