New Metal Gear Online Boxart & Release Date?

It seems to be. It says that this item will be released on November 15, 2008. Pre-order now!

I guess that will contain a lot more than the "starter pack" we receive with MGS4.
This also beg's the question of how much we will be charged to get that extra stuff.

Still, Amazon is hardly concrete.

sonarus5859d ago

60 bucks? The game is online only common. Max is 40 bucks. Anyway i will be content with downloading map packs since i am getting MGS4:D

Cwalat5859d ago

November release ???
highly doubt it !!!

Beta is now.. and why the fu*k wait another 7 months ?

MikeGdaGod5859d ago

this is probably for those that only want to play MGS online and need a headset.

i bet they're not releasing it until November to ensure all those that really want to play either game will just buy MGS4. that way they get both games, can start playing from the start, and MGS4 will see great sells.

LightningPS35859d ago (Edited 5859d ago )

59.99?

November 15?

Amazon doesn't really know but they try. Also I saw Socom: Confrontation on amazon for 59.99. isn't that suppose to be a PSN title?

Fishy Fingers5859d ago

All the questions, thought you might have trouble reading. Just a j/k. Sorry :(

C_SoL5859d ago

I heard there's gonna be be bluetooth headset that comes with SOCOM. I'm not sure though. Maybe MGSO is $59.99 cause it'll include something else... Who knows?

MGO better be packaged with MGS4 like they said it would!

Lucreto5859d ago

The starter pack is on the disk. You load up MGS4 and in the menu where is says New Game and Load game it will say Metal gear online and you select it to launch it.

whoelse5859d ago

Hmm this is weird. But at least we know the starter pack comes with MGS4

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

Welshy967d ago

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

Giblet_Head967d 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.

SDuck967d ago

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

MasterChief3624967d 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.

GhostofHorizon967d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord967d 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.

MetroidFREAK21967d ago

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

franwex967d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21967d 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

franwex1019d ago

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

aaronaton1019d ago (Edited 1019d 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!

-Foxtrot2403d ago (Edited 2403d 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

GamesMaster19822403d ago

BlaqMagiq12402d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
