Just started the beta and it is pretty SWEEET!!! It really is Metal Gear online... all the stuff you'd expect to be able to do as an elite genome soldier is here. And the customizable skill system is REALLY deep.

Metal Gear solid is a musthave titel.

Kojima proofed it with MGO
The beta is awesome, its exactly what you have to expect to be Metal Gear online, deep skill customisation and gadgets.

I love it

I would like to thank the ones who approved and also the ones who reported, helping me to correct my mistakes.

That said I would like to say that the reason why I didnt want to make an automatic translation was due to the fact that some of those translations alter the meaning of some senteces and also sometimes it gets impossible to understand what is being said, consequence of the gramatical errors made by the automawtic translator.

But I do have to say that this specific translation went very well. Thank you all for the assistance.

It is a great interview and I recommend reading it in spanish but if you can't understand spanish, go ahead and read the translation since it is well made and very understandable.

Thanks.

SPARTAAN - 605 days 11 hours ago

it is very difficult to port a game that has been built from ground as exclusive and he said that 50 gb wasn't enough and for all those who think that that statement was made up please read this

"I ask forgiveness.Three years ago, when I was in Madrid with the tour of Snake Eater, said that Metal Gear Solid 4 would voices in Spanish.I could not fulfill my word, and I regret and am sorry. Unfortunately, the Blu-Ray double layer has not been enough and we have been forced to make a decision very delicate; cut the content of the game or include it in a single audio track, and this is what has happened. As a creator I must fulfill my word, but this time I could not do it and the Spanish version will feature voices in English and fully translated into Spanish texts. It is a debt that he made to Spain and I hope that the next bracket let me pay off someday."

I seriously doubt if kojima would disappoint his fans and go back on his word just to hype up his game which is already one of the most anticipated games of 2008

SL1M DADDY - 605 days 9 hours ago

4 million in four months? More closer to 3 but 4 is possible given the size of its fanbase. Each of the games in the series nearly broke 8 million and with this being the first in the next gen of the series you can bet it will sell well. Not like GTA4 but it could sell 4 million in three months.

I can't believe some of you still think its gonna be ported.

Those that have accepted the FACT that its not, are now blasting the game as hard as they can.

When the rumors were that it was gonna be ported it was like "Wow! this game is amazing! HAHA D-words!" now thats its over, they say "It's gonna suck anyway"

Then...

"Game-wise, it's pretty close to the original vision: you sneak into the battlefield and can choose whether to do a stealth game or interfere with the battle more directly. But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction."

Now...

"I am very satisfied with the final result of the game and I believe the gamers will feel the same."

Leave it to Sony fanboys to find some way to bash the 360 without the article even talking about it. People like DarkSniper have no lives. Seriously, why spend so much time bragging about a console that you already know is great(in your opinion)? Makes no sense. You could be PLAYING PS3 games instead of wasting so much time talking it up. It's like you're getting paid to do this crap when you know damn well you're not.

With that aside, I can't wait for this game. The graphics look great(well, awesome) and it seems like Kojima put his heart into this title. If Kojima says he's satisfied, I believe him.

I may be pro-360, but I have enough sense to know this game is going to be amazing and I'll definitely be picking up a copy.

dem0n - 604 days 12 hours ago

I'm sorry, but the ability to make stellar 100% perfect PS3 games is a bit limited right now. Not because of the limitation with PS3 hardware, but limitations with developers. Developers need time to work out the kinks with new hardware technology and learn how to take things further.

Right now(as in, RIGHT NOW), any game could be made on either console, regardless of what you guys seem to think. The day developers figure out NEW ways to create games, use the Cell to fine tune the game's structure, use Blu-ray more efficiently, and Sony gets HOME up & running...is the day when the PS3 will surpass the 360. Once that takes off, there won't be stopping the PS3.

But come on, don't go touting things that haven't happened yet. You guys are so bias and never give anything else a chance.

I admit MGS4 will be a near perfect example of the PS3's potential, but that doesn't mean it couldn't have been done on the 360.

Kojima even said he wanted MORE space, and MORE power. Without that, he still made a sweet game and put his heart into it. He would have done the same with the 360, despite it's limitations. Just like he did on the PS3.

Gears of War 2 could easily be done on the PS3, but Microsoft won't let that happen, just like Sony won't let MGS4 happen on the 360. GTAIV is a great example. The game is getting 10/10s. Yet, it's on both consoles. Stop being so blind to brand names.

I think it's time to grow up people.

dem0n, unless you want to cycle through twelve different dics...MGS4 would not be possible on the 360. Kojima couldn't even fit more of what he wanted on a 50gb for the PS3 and you think this would be possible on the 360? And I'm sorry but I highly doubt that compression could be possible on the 360. I won't deny the fact that the 360 has a good library and good online service but to say it can handle MGS4...that's pushing the envelope.
