Metal Gear Solid 4's Wasted Story

Would developers be better off leaving out narrative that isn't relevant to a title's core gameplay?

Totally agree that the plot is a complete waste of time in many games. Most titles put no effort into storytelling...so why bother?

I think that MGS4's narrative missed the mark in a few key areas--especially the godawful ending--but I enjoyed it overall. Other games (Timeshift immediately comes to mind for some reason) just wasted my time with needless exposition.

A lot of games have pointless tangents. A lot of movies and books do as well...

Without the story I really wouldn't play MGS, It's just one of those games that I crave for. The story is just brilliant.

Both the story and gameplay are why I love the MGS series. If it didn't have the story it wouldn't be #4. It would just be MG... something. I'd still play it because I think gameplay is more important than story. But the story in MGS4 fits, and damn well at that.

I am not "a lot of people." As a fan of the MGS series, I really enjoyed the story for MGS4.

Newcomers to the series may be a little lost. But hey, go pick up the 1-3 pack an enjoy some great games with a great story. Then you can enjoy MGS4 that much more.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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.

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!

Iceball200076d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin76d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole76d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix76d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198976d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

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 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
