SCEA's Peter Dille called it "the mother of all exclusives," but is the recently delayed title shaping up to justify the hype?.
First and foremost Metal Gear Solid 4 is a Metal Gear game, with its roots in that lineage almost overbearing at times. It is exactly like its predecessors in some of the most important and varied respects – often fluid, often fiddly, sometimes astonishingly tense and sometimes tedious.
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.
whats MG Online all about?
Why is everyone worried about the delay? Seriously, no one remembers the delays when the game is out so long as it isn't Duke Nukem Forever style.We will remember the bugs and lacking gameplay elements the game would have without it.
That said MGS4 is probably my most anticipated game next year and that's saying a lot in the face of Prototype, Brutal Legend, Heavy Rain, FFXIII, and GTA4. I'm just waiting to see how it all goes down, there's a very deep and complex story that's been built over 20 years and we all know the gameplay is going to be solid (no pun intended). MGO is welcome too and I can't wait to see how that pans out in the long run. Like we form our own PMCs and duke it out to control the new Outer Heaven or something.
most negative metal gear preview i've read so far. however i am still extremely confident and optimistic for the game. As a strong MGS fan since i played it back on ps1 i have to say i am still quite skeptical at the approach mgs4 is taking. With the 3rd person shooting and the new camoflague it makes the game look a little bit too easy. All the things they are adding to attract more gamers am jst not really feeling
MGS4 is the Only game I must have in 08.
I suppose He has a reason to be unimpressed since there are so very many
superior titles..............NOT.
Put on extra socks folks ............when this one launches they are going to blow.
