During MGS4 signing event held in Tokyo recently, Konami has confirmed that Metal Gear Online component of MGS4 will soon be available separately in Japan for 1800 Yen (about $17 USD). No word on pricing and dates for the standalone version of Metal Gear Online in other territories.
And, on the same day, Yoshikazu Matsuhana, producer of Metal Gear Online, revealed the stand-alone package box with cover-art.
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.
this will be interesting, im all for newness but i want to see what all it adds to the gameplay itself if anything...
something has to lure me into MGO, cuz at this point im not sold on it
edit: (about $17 USD), damn, thats a steal... they can make that a psn download and im all over it, everyone hyped this saying $60 but for that cheap im on it like bloodmask on breakfast!!!!
MGS4 was easily the best game of this gen yet, and very possibly the best game of all time, but I won't be paying for MGO. Didn't feel it was an online game although I could never find a room playing the sneaking mission. In fact I'm going to go try, and find a room so maybe It will be worth it. Any news on what's being added?
Just makes me long for MGS4 to have had it's covers in the same style as MGS3 and MGS2. I don't like old snake staring me down on the cover saying "Do you have a extra cigarette?".
...why they are selling it as a stand alone purhcase. Is that admitting that MGS4 is worth a rental only or what?!?
Anyway, I loved MGS4 but MGO felt incomplete and for me it lacked a real important ingredient...fun.
There are many folks out there that can now rent MGS4 and buy the online part for much cheaper. 17 bucks for an online game like MGO is a steal! Makes me wonder why Epic would have to charge 60 bucks for a game like UTIII when Konami can charge 17 bucks for a game that is better in many ways. Sure it was bundled with MGS4 but come on, this is cheap for a stand alone Online Game.
