IGN: Metal Gear Solid Online Impressions

Metal Gear Online saw its big unveiling today as part of Konami's heavily hyped Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Party in Tokyo. IGN was on-hand at the event to witness a game of hide-and-seek and cyber crime between 12 Kojima Productions employees.

Rather than playing for themselves, Hideo Kojima and MGO producer Yoshikazu Matsuhana called two Kojima Production employees out on stage to do the dirty work. Each employee was the leader of their own team, labeled red and blue. The other players were back at the Konami office, which just so happens to be in the same downtown building complex as the party. Today's demonstration consisted of two teams of six, but the final version will allow for a total of 16 players.

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head988d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck988d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief3624988d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon988d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord987d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK21988d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex987d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK21987d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1040d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1040d ago (Edited 1040d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot2424d ago (Edited 2424d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better
