Metal Gear Online Preview by Next-gen

Yet more details of the upcoming MGS4 have been released, but the most surprising is surely that it has essentially turned into two games. Hideo Kojima has never made a secret out of the fact that he wanted to make an online game, but despite teasing with alternative concepts, his only work in the area has been on Metal Gear. Both MGS3 and MGS Portable Ops featured limited online modes, and inspired some hope for MGS4's use of the permanently connected PS3. The latter now seems like an irrelevance, following the unexpected announcement of the standalone prospect, Metal Gear Online.

"Just know one thing. This is a reason to buy and HDtv, High-speed internet and of course a copy of MGS4."
Well, even without this preview or any inside info, that sentence is true :)

HeartlesskizZ6064d ago

mighty_douche6064d ago

HeartlesskizZ6064d ago

mighty_douche6064d ago

dude, not even snake himself would be able to prize that copy from my dead cold hands!

felman876064d ago

I should just give Kojima my bank account number and tell him to just send me every game he makes.

MonkeyMaan6064d ago

By far the greatest in mgo subsistence, even better than the over rated Lab! It's a shame the European servers will be down in a few weeks :( Guess I'll have to pick up a psp slim and portable ops+ as fix until next March

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

Welshy987d ago

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

Giblet_Head987d 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.

SDuck987d ago

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

MasterChief3624987d 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.

GhostofHorizon987d 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.

MetroidFREAK21987d 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
