First Metal Gear Solid Online gameplay video

First gameplay video, low quality, but it's something for those who are still waiting.

[sonarus]

Questions for those in the forums. How is the online community. Can you do friend invites any clan support, can you set up custom matches e.t.c.

[Mainman]

Umm, this map wasnt supposed to be in the beta.

[chaosatom333]

i think so, It's in the online manual.

[Mainman]

No, the beta was supposed to have 'Ambush Alley' and 'Gronznyj Grad'.

The map in the video is 'Blood Bath'.

[sonarus]

They said they would add one more map i guess this was it

[adriano999]

The beta was supposed to have blood bath e GG

[sonarus]

LOL but he can change...Really funny to know you are hated so much no matter what you say you are guaranteed disagrees. I wish i had such fame:(

[Maddens Raiders]

first time I'm seeing this and I must say it looks really good just from the liitle bit shown. I can honestly say for me that this is must own material and looks to provide hours and hours of fun.

Good job Kojima; you psycopath.

[TruthBTold]

lucky. Man, the game looks incredible even with a crappy video. WOuld it be wrong to say that graphicwise it looks better than COD4? I see more details in the game, lets wait for a better video or at better when we actually get to logging for the beta.

[TUFFnNYC]

LOL. I thought the same exact thing bro. And to see that from a low quality video means only one thing. This could def be the best looking game so far. Damn i cant wait.

[TruthBTold]

This game is showing a lot of potential and that video proves how good the game is gonna look. Too bad we gotta wait a little longer to play but its gonna be worth it. The bad part now that I think about it is I have my GTAIV preordered for pick up on the 29th which means I will have less time to play between both of them. I will probably give MGO more time due to it being available for a short time.

[Harry190]

and the draw distance is really impressive.
Could expect no less.

[Iceberg032]

I can't wait until midnight so that I can play this game! Watch out for Iceberg I am gonna take over! HA HA!!

[iAmPS3]

This might not be as big as COD4 cause is no FPS, but for MGS fans this is BIG, really BIG.

See you in-game.

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 1]

Graphics look brilliant!!! ;-P

[Rice]

I predict that at least one person whos gonna comment will say, "can't wait" as for me, i cant wait...

[Rockwallaby]

wait I can't

[Bladestar]

wow big improvement over the PS2 in terms of graphics... I have a few questions about the gameplay for those that played the Beta.

Is there a way to switch and play in FPS or at least over the shoulder or the gameplay is just like the single player gameplay?

When using the box? do other people see the box? or the box is invisible? it would be kind of obvious to see a box on the stairs... ?

Game invites... did they add game invites in order to invite friends?

It's a no brainer as a Metal Gear fan that I will buy the actual game... I need to see more about MGO... was not a fan of the PS2 online version since there was no way of inviting friends.. or even communicate with them...

Can this game compete with COD4 in terms of fun?

are there vehicles?

[sonarus]

i'm pretty sure no vehicles except for the catapult but that doesn't count. I am still waiting for the NA servers to kick in to get the gist on friend invites e.t.c. Cardboard boxes are are obvious if placed in a random position however, the drum can may be less obvious as there are probably empty drum cans lying around

[jadenkorri]

im at 46 % for the update so ill be awhile before i get on, i hope u can setup the card board box, kinda like a trap or something, its great if ur a sniper, first thing someone gonna do is snipe/shoot the box, which gives away there position..

[White-Sharingan]

@ bladestar-

yes u can switch from third to FPS mode:

OK heres a quick run down.

X - Crouch/stand up, hold for prone
O - reload
Triangle - Salute/SOP when close first person when in over the shoulder
Square - switch between auto and manual ain
R1 - shoot/cqc etc
R2 - mounted grenade launcer
L1 - ready weapon
L2 - not sure
L3 - not sure
R3 - switch shoulders
select - communication"

[Storm23]

I hope I can customize the buttons. I would rather have square as reload instead of circle.

In one preview I am pretty sure they said that the buttons could be customized but not sure if this is true and/or if it is in the beta.

[themyk]

if you make games please listen to me.. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. copy gran turismo and let us customize the entire controller layout. i mean can it be that hard?

gran turismo has it down perfect.

[Bathyj]

I wondered about the obviousness of the box too. Maybe it can be used as a trap like the magazine, place it somewhere then get a good sniper spot on it.

But also even if someone suspect you there and approaches it, whose to say who will get the drop on who. Might be a bit of a quickdraw situation. Unless of coarse they just riddle the box with holes and then check it out, but that gives aways position and my first scenario might come into place.

[Ri0tSquad]

and you still get 7 disagrees.

"yes u can switch from third to FPS mode:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=...

Not only that but FPS mode in MGS is pretty old so it's not a surprise they have it.

[MikeGdaGod]

in my manual it says reload is "square"

[Bladestar]

Wow!... what did I do? I was just asking... I was not trying to bash the game... I am a Metal Gear fanboy.. and the only reason why I am buying a PS3... I just don't have a PS3 yet.. and would like to know more about the game... is that bad?

Anyways... to those that bothered answer my questions... thanks.

[ApocalypseShadow]

the whole time he's been bashing ps3,sony's strategy and bluray since launch.and then acts as if everything is "SWELLLL" like nothing happened.all the while having microsoft stock.

then asks,"is it as fun as call of duty 4?"

any fan of the game will say they don't play the same.they are different.

MGO looks great and will only add to an even greater single player game.

but to his credit,blade has said in the past he would get a ps3 for MGS4.not that we cared anyway.

megaton....................

[Mr_cheese]

the beta has opened yet no one can get on whats going on!
you make us to so much stuff just to get this far, its took ages to do grrr

[THC CELL]

http://blog.us.playstation....

idea

[SUP3R]

Holy Crap!!
Genius!
I agree Konami can adopt this idea for their servers.
It'll be much cheaper in the end.

[mesh1]

welll it looks avarage and looks just lie the mgs on th eps3 with better lightin gtbh and you wopuld noptice even tho they have aopen beta of mgo THERE IS STILLL NO 1 ON THe psn ITS LIKE A GHOST TOWN that even the guy in the video is begging people to join james hahahahahhahaha wonder why sony trolls are upset no good games and no 1 plays on the psn

[Kleptic]

mesh1, it really is surprsing that you only have 1 bubble...it is so easy to understand what you are trying to say...

[Herbert tholdpervert]

Looks decent

[Herbert tholdpervert]

Why in hell would anyone Disagree with me ..?!

what do you want me to say it's looks "amazing"...."a wesome".."GOTY"! !

[ianp622]

That's better lol.

[PROGnosis]

lucky punk, the wait is driving me nuts!

[gamesR4fun]

got my id and everything downloaded but i see the same error 0901 ffffffffffff something

[poopsack]

Same here, and we're the ones that bothered to preorder to get this. Nothing to B1tch about though, its a couple of hours.

[pwnsause]

are you guys living in the US?

[gamesR4fun]

Canada here

[pwnsause]

Canada and US servers are restricted to play the beta until tonight at 12 am i think.

[ICUP]

This guy must be from U.K. or Ireland, because i can't understand WTF he saying.

[Ali_The_Brit]

yeh hes from the south of england by the sounds of it

[Devilbringer]

Tease me more pls!!

[RealTimeWeaponChange]

lmao. Sorry, Konami, leave this stuff to UBI. running under a box mid sprint? lol. get real. MGS gameplay needs to evolve. Same with the HUD. too big and cluttered. looks like ass.

[DomUltra]

That's hilarious Xbot's want this game so bad it's not even a joke, have fun with uhh.. DLC? Lmfao.

[ForTheFallen]

HALO's gameplay needed to evolve.
It still sold.

And MGS did evolve. So imagine how it will do.

[CaptainHowdy]

is that u? Took a while for me to sniff u out

[JVIDICAN]

yup that getpwned

[timmyp53]

Socom better step its game up because confrontation is looking dull compared to MGO.

[themyk]

really i think socom is going to be one of my favorite online shooters of the year. i am just hoping this game can be as good as socom.

[timmyp53]

in my comment above. No doubt- Socom Confrontation gameplay will be awesome.

[Rockwallaby]

the screens for SOCOM look good but not great, I'd be happy with a Warhawk level of graphics.

Looking forward to playing something other than COD for a while.

[solidt12]

SOCOM and MGO looks great. Im they both will have there fans. Great time to be a PS3 owner.

[Bonsai1214]

are real people really stupid enough to fall for the dirty magazine trick.. lol

[pwnsause]

well it works every time in Counter Strike Source when you spray pron lol.

[NOTORIOUSzeke]

Maybe...I like Japanese women...

[Ballsacteebaghow]

Looks slightly dull.

[themyk]

really the first couple of seconds of a betta where there is only one person running around. looks pretty dull!!!!!!!

could have fulled me.
you fail.

[socomnick]

Japanese devs + Multiplayer = Fail

[sammy_mantra]

0 games and 100% defective rate

crappy games and least selling console worldwide are attributes that define x360.

[SONYS LARGE D1CK]

hey sony gay. it looks like you have been sucking my c0ck for the past 10 years. keep sucking that sony salami.

[Dacapn]

I like how people judge it by 10 sec of a guy running up some stairs. It just comes down to the fact that since 360 fanboys know that they're not getting the game, they want it to fail so they feel that they aren't missing out.

[socomnick]

I love how people assume that we judge from this video. I judge from every Japanese game to date. They suck at making multiplayer games its just that simple.

[sammy_mantra]

they have 0 games to play.

the only thing they can do is troll PS3 sections

[RealTimeWeaponChange]

lmao. Asians compete with Western devs? LMFAO. yeah right. only thing they would win is who can make the most whacky story, poor controls, and cluttered HUD all over the screen.

[liquidsnake]

Don't balme asian devs couse your too dumb to understand the MGS story.

[Surfman]

ok i was'nt sure if i was gonna buy MGS4 until now, after i watched the video. I want.

[crippler666]

This will sell the PS3 off the shelf.

[cr33ping_death]

damn i work @ 4 a.m so ill have to try it when i get home tomorrow morning. ill try playing a bit before i go to work around 3:30 a.m

[crippler666]

If you play it.... It will lead to a sick day.

[ShAkKa]

lol! it would be difficult to fool anyone with the box camouflage since you have to play against real people and not AI.

[Heavy-h]

i heard there are normal boxes around some areas so u camo with them

this is looking gud i was a bit optimistic about MGO but now it is looking really gud

[thePatriot]

there are few empty boxes arround the level. randomly placed. and since nobody realy hides in them, once you do hide in a box people you pass you by without caring. Once, I just hid there and watched people play. shoothing and killing each other while I was just chiling in a corner eating. no other game lets you do that. pure fun.

[dsolomon818]

12:14 and I'm still getting unable to connect to server 090b:00000001

[heavyarms]

how long did some of you guys wait? I cant seem to join any servers.

[TheBronxxx]

Couldn't Konami at least have made an animation for snake showing him putting the box over his body instead of it just popping out of nowhere? The movie reminds me of Splinter Cell a little. This game looks good though :)

[FullyLoaded420]

This is supposed to be the GOD of all GAMES right?!! Well, according to the Sony panty wearers here.
Then where does the damn cardboard come from? his backpocket?!!
Oh well....IT MUST BE....

TEH C3LL!!!!

[SlyGuy]

Was that 60fps? it looked smooth as silk.

[SamStrife]

Thats My Video!!!!!
^_^
I'm On N4G!!!

[dalibor]

Welcome aboard bud. Great vid by the way, i can't wait to try the beta. Oh does that box trick work playing online? I would think that everybody would know the cardboard box trick by now.

[DevilsJoker]

If its anything like mgs3 online there will be alot of boxes about that arent players, so shooting them all would waste time and expose yourself.

[Horny]

Im downloading it now, Ill play for a little before I gotta go to class, and what a day to have night class aswell, that sucks.

[strembones]

I shouldn't watch this stuff...it just bums me out because I didn't get in

[dalibor]

Try to find someone who has the beta and are willing to share their account with ya. I got the online beta off of my cousins account, he even shared his account with 2 other people, so i figure that you can share the beta up to 4 people, depending on how many accounts are being used.

[SamStrife]

They actually place several around the map, in random positions, so shooting at them willy nilly gives away your position. Quite kewl really.

Thanks for the welcome. ^_^

PS. Howd u reply? EDIT: Never mind, didnt realise id have to relply to my original post.

[dalibor]

No prob. Thanks for informing me about the question i asked. Now i understand how it all works. Man i cannot wait until the beta is operational. I still have to get a konami id. See you online samstrife and all other gamers that will be on the beta. Id:dalibor

[Swervo]

I got this from te MGO website.

[Swervo]

I wish I could play now but I'm downloading it.

[xboxftw]

ROFLMAO... Wow truly next gen, guy running around turns into a cardboard box. Even better than "this game is based on real japanese battles, here comes the giant enemy crab.

Sorry no offense to Giantenemycrab the poster.

[sabbath420]

the player animation/movements look lame as heII. The surrounding textures look well enough but that player movement looks pretty fake.
