MGO Beta Delayed Until 25th in Japan

Ripten:

"Konami have been having a lot of trouble with the Metal Gear Online Beta, from wrong codes, to mysterious Konami and Gamer ID's. Events have gone from bad to worse, with their servers being unable to hack the influx of players. The Beta is delayed indefinitely in the US and Europe, and has been officially delayed until the 25th April in Japan."

there probably wont be a metal gear monday on the playstation blog today. and no one freak out they havent cancelled anything yet just moved back.

Fishy Fingers5848d ago (Edited 5848d ago )

Bah... Id like to see if before Friday, but it kind of seems the right thing to do.

Get everything sorted and tested, then unleash the beta on Friday giving gamers the chance to have a great weekend session on it. I just wanted a descent amount of time to play it before GTA was released.

I'm fine with that. Thats all they need to do is release this today or tomorrow and start having all these issues again. Give it a couple days to a week and work out these bugs and then give it to us. And you know what there will probably still be some bugs in other areas. It's a beta it's to be expected. But as long as we get it before the 12th of june is still good since it will still give a chance to play before its released.

Is the Konami ID site even working yet?

Straight from the US section on Konami's official site. Says April 25 and does not specify region - which likely means all.

That and the time is PDT. It would've been better if it was EDT.

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_Head968d 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.

SDuck968d ago

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

MasterChief3624968d 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.

GhostofHorizon968d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord968d 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.

MetroidFREAK21968d ago

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

franwex968d ago

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

MetroidFREAK21968d 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

franwex1020d ago

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

aaronaton1020d ago (Edited 1020d 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!

-Foxtrot2404d ago (Edited 2404d 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

BlaqMagiq12403d ago
