From Wired:
"The PlayStation 3 is so, so very lucky that Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is exclusive to the platform. I just got finished with an extensive hour-long demo of the Tokyo Game Show playable version, and I am in love all over again. The demo showcased the return of so many of the things that make MGS great -- stealth action, a wide variety of weaponry and gadgets, and riveting storytelling -- but added a whole array of new features."
"What Metal Gear Solid 4 won't feature is any substantial Sixaxis control. Although the team at Kojima Productions had experimented with various ways of using the PS3's tacked-on motion sensitivity, like shaking the controller to do a barrel roll, they've decided not to use them. "Sixaxis is pretty hard to work with," says Kojima Productions' Ryan Payton, "as other developers have found out." What MGS4 will feature is rumble, thanks to the Dual Shock 3 controller."
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.
cant come soon enough!
This game along with GT5 Socom4 Rachet n Clink God of War3 KZ2 are why i wanted a PS3! Along with other games like Warhawk Motorstrom HS i can say the PS3 will keep me very happy for years to come.
again
cant wait for this game!!!!
peace
its the fans what made this game what it is today. MG1 is what started this and is how its going to end. with the playstation brand. MG doesn't care about graphics, its all about great story-line and great connections with the fans. he's been good to us and we'll be good to them.
We all know this game is huge.Eat your heart out haters!:P
same time or 3 months after the ps3 version. lol i cant help but to laugh at 360 ignorance. and then some kid said he didnt like the camera angles in part 2, so he never liked mgs at all because of that. clearly he hasnt played part 3 or even SEEN 4. then another one said, what is the ratio of cutscenes to gameplay, OBVIOUSLY HE HAS NEVER PLAYED METAL GEAR BECAUSE HE DOESNT REALIZE HOW MUCH GAMPLAY IT IS, but i bet he wants to go buy that movie MASS EFFECT.
Warhawk
This game will help me wait and along with COD4 and Unreal i should have no problem killing a couple months till MGS is on the shelfs
