Once the truly awful registration process was completed, MGO ran pretty much without a hitch -- or, at least as well as you could expect a public beta originating from Japan to run. We experienced sporadic connection problems -- specifically when the host decided he'd had enough for the day -- and a few inopportune moments of lag that allowed an enemy solider to get the jump on me and close-quarters-combat my brains out. I can't possibly speak on behalf of the entire beta-player population, but MGO ran pretty solidly. Forgive the pun.
I'm not sure how I feel about MGO. I know it's not an FPS, nor does it strive to be. It's not a straight-up third-person action game, either. The pace is methodical and unique, inescapably bonded to how we've all learned to play Metal Gear. The controller calisthenics will likely turn off many newcomers, and even give veterans the need to reacclimate themselves to pressing all sorts of button combinations and quickly decide on different aiming methods. The omniview camera means that you can't really sneak up behind someone without them seeing you, which lends to lots of dizzying camera-twirling -- it's definitely the most paranoid online game I've played...
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From first-person espionage thrillers to the original installments of beloved franchises, check out the greatest retro video games we recommend for anyone.
I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.
Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.
Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.
resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword
Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2
Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.
There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.
Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence
The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
I had a lot of fun in the beta. Cannot wait for MGS4 and MGO to be released I won't be seeing much sunligt this summer.
At start i must say that it was not that easy and i was not sure about the slow mouvement and all then i played few games and i loved it!
It is a very nice multiplayer game, it plays different and we only saw a part of it, i'm sure they will add a lot of new fun content.
The mode with snake is awesome! tough but awesome
its not easy but just like mgs if ur a fan of the series ull be a fan of mgo these games arent for everyone
This game is for the hardcore. Those thinking this is just a jump in and kick a$$ are going to fin out that there is a learning curve to MGO. I seriously thought that it was tons of fun after u learn the control mechanism's. Its easilly one of the funnest online games ive played this year.
i loved the mgo beta. doubt ill play it again till im thru mg4 at least once. although it was annoying whenever i died a bunch of times with no reply (probably mostly due to embarrassment) i found it a lot less infuriating than the majority of online shooters. i liked the speed (or lack of) of your character it really adds weight and realism.
