A quick heads-up to everyone:
Anyone claiming to have received an advance review copy of MGS4 is either lying or has stolen a copy from the shipments currently going out to retailers. Nitroid spoke with Ryan Payton recently about this in some length and according to him, because of the high profile of this title, not even members of the press are being given review copies. Any early play-through of the game is either done at specified events hosted by Konami (for example, the MGS4 boot-camp or the recent event in Paris) or not at all. With as vague a level of information as most of the early reviews in various magazines have been supplying, there are a lot of people who are out looking to garner attention for themselves by either claiming to have received an early copy or by stealing from early shipments through various means. In addition, anyone who manages to snag an early copy by any means will undergo a certain level of investigation by Konami representatives, should they catch wind of it.
For the good of the fan community, don't give these people the benefit of your attent.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Game creator Hideo Kojima is and probably will always be best-known for his creation and stewardship of the Metal Gear series at Konami, which since his departure has been more-or-less on permanent hiatus (don't mention Survive). In his almost three decades these games evolved to the point where they predicted certain problems of the information age (MGS 2), took aim at contemporary topics like Guantanamo Bay (MGS: Ground Zeroes), and ended on a profound sense of sadness about our species' inability to break the cycles of global conflict (MGS V).
It's not clear what sparked this reflection, but Kojima's been thinking about Metal Gear Solid 4, an entry that was (and unfortunately still remains) a PlayStation 3 exclusive. In that entry the player controls an aged Solid Snake in the year 2014, caught up in a civil war being fought between Private Military Companies (PMCs).
He was always ahead with this series. MSG1 taught me about the importance of passing on our genes into future generations but in a responsible way, for they are bound to what we experienced in our lifetime. Sons of liberty taught me about global control and simulation runs to test society in a grand scale, the importance and dangers of control of information. MGS3 taught me about patriotism and how that can blind you into doing things you never would have otherwise, all for the sake of politicians who only see you as another pawn in their grand scheme of things. MSG4 taught me war is inevitable and always orchestrated because it's great for the economy. Soon simulation systems will start dictating who goes to war and why, all run through proxies. Privatization of military company are already here. We already started to see how a small group of elites dictates everything that happens. Nothing is done, nothing happens without strings being pulled.
If it wasn't for the retconning of how FOXDIE works, including clunky scenes with Naomi and Liquid, MGS4 would be a perfect game. There are so many gameplay options. It felt like us PS3 owners got something truly unique and special.
Hmm.
That is intresting. So you telling me that IGN, Eurogamer, EDGE, OPM etc got a copy illegally and didn't have a review copy?
SONY would never give review copies to eurogamer,edge,1up and Gamespot ---SONY hating websites
what a shame that those CONTROVERSIAL MGS haters which always BASHED previous MGS games by giving them 7/8 tried to tarnish the image of MGS4
But anyway MGS4 averages at 97% at METEACRITIC and it will only get better.
so KONAMI never shipped them the game too
I mailed PSXEXTREME and they told me that KONAMI will ship them the copy of MGS4 on June 11th
BTW people look how even this legit story is reported :-
***********BTW people dont forget to give me some bubbles
MGS4 is easily a 9.5 anyway.
