Thursday Metal Gear Announcement is....

Examiner: "Konami has revealed the Metal Gear Solid announcement for today. Thus far for the week, Konami told us on Monday that we would be getting announcements everyday of the week. Tuesday we were told about the Greatest Hits edition of Metal Gear Solid 4, and yesterday we were told about the Shadow Moses Metal Gear Online map and that Snake is now a playable character. All stuff we previously knew about. Today, we have another announcement."

[Pennywise]

We knew about this announcement.

Please let tomorrow be trophies!!!

[va_bank]

I was worried that there have been no official confirmation. I really want this on my PSP.

EDIT: Oh yeah, if they add trophies, I'm replaying this immediately. It's going to be a slow summer for games otherwise.

[MattyF]

Perfect way to end the week. Trophy update just makes so much sense at this point. Greatest Hits is released, they are trying to get people back into MGO, so add Trophy support and everyone will play the game again.

[Lifendz]

I haven't played MGS4 since I first got it a year ago. I was waiting for trophies. The game was easily one of the top five games I've ever played. Trophies would only enhance that.

[locos85]

Maybe they will release some VR Missions or and ultimate version or the game

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

So far announcements have been weak. Trophy patch would be awesome, but....

[Christopher]

Trophies would be awesome.

[Forest Gumps]

I too am replaying this game. It is a classic by modern standards!

[TheExecutive]

dammit give us trophies!

[Kleptic]

yeah I have not played the game...purposely...since last summer hoping for a trophy patch...and simply to try to forget a lot of it so it felt kind of new when i played it again...I did beat the game on the hardest setting, but never did the ridiculous run through in 5 hours or whatever, to get that bandana or something...because when i finally do it, there better be some trophies awarded for it...

fell into the opposite trap with Uncharted...because I finally beat the game on crushing and unlocked every in game award...then get the trophy patch and find out I have to do it all over again...i'll eventually do it (hopefully before Uncharted 2 releases)...

I still wish Sony would have had the trophy stuff figured out before the first game even released for the PS3...but whatever...now everything has it...and MGS4 is really the only game left that I hope gets it patched in...the good news is that konami responded to constant trophy questions with 'we know what MGS4 fans want' a few months ago...but we'll have to see if they are correct...

[Pika-pie]

Yeah come on Konami.. The best announcement for last.. Trophies would be awesome!!!! I sold the game months ago but would buy the game again this weekend if we were given a trophy patch.

[UltimaEnder]

How is this ridiculous repost of news on the front page, come on people we have known this for ages....

[theEnemy]

Colonel, do you read me?

[dragunrising]

Announcing trophies would make my week. Still deciding on whether to repurchase MGS. I have the Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection... I might wait till I pick up the PSP Go.

[PirateThom]

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but even if they announce a trophy patch, we'll probably not get it for a while. If it was for Friday, we'd have a trophy list or something from somewhere.

[Esena]

You make a good point. But...any sort of confirmation of trophies coming would nonetheless be good.

[Kleptic]

I agree, the announcement will probably be tomorrow if anything...but we still won't get it for a while...but a confirmation is better than nothing for sure...

[JonnyBigBoss]

So predictable. How about some updates we don't know about!

[TheTruth89]

Give us the trophies!

[LarVanian]

Imagine if Konami announced MGS4 for X360 on saturday and then announced MGS5 for PS3 on sunday. What a funny weekend that would be.

[-x.Red.x-]

not because im a fanboy but because IF there WAS a MGS4 for 360, MS would had move earth and sea to announce it at E3.

[LarVanian]

Yeah dude thats why I said "imagine".
Theres no way in hell Konami would announce the biggest PS3 exclusive becoming multi-plat and then announce the sequel the next day.

[-x.Red.x-]

LoL i wasn't talking about the sequel, just that most people will scream out MGS4 360 (again...)

[Kleptic]

the rumors of that may never go away...but Kojima and Konami have ALWAYS stated MGS4 is not in development for the 360...and being its already a year old, it simply won't happen anymore...the window for the game is going away, and with new MG games already announced...those have top priority right now...

add that onto the fact that Rising is NOT using the MGS4 engine...and its even more apparent...if they are not building any MGS4 engine'd games on the 360, a port would be even more unlikely...that engine is simply nuts, and built from the ground up for the PS3...I know porting to the 360 is pretty 'easy', but if it was happening, we would have already heard about it...

[Pika-pie]

The thought of that makes me laugh. The internet would explode with cry babies

[Victor1]

if its trophys i swear to god.. this wkend i almost completed my second playthrough cause i felt like it and if i have to go through it again for trophys i will not be a happy camper

[Pennywise]

But you will do it anyways!

[BLuKhaos]

n00b!

[Victor1]

sadly thats prbly true

[Kleptic]

if there is one single plyer game around that is worth playing through again even if you just played it...MGS4 is it...

[Campy da Camper]

HAPPY CAMPER!

[JuJuRMJ]

I'm currently replaying this game, with or without trophies, there is without a doubt that I will again replay this game. It's just that good! The definition of instant classic is MGS4!

[Carl1412]

Slly Konami

You only get it if you live in US. Europe aren't important enough

[micro_invader]

:'(

[va_bank]

You can get it from a US store, can't you?

[GameGambits]

Don't give me this Konami/Kojima <3s USA over UK BS. You must not play MGO to know that the UK region was given a free 50,000 reward points to buy gear with while the USA only got 10,000.

It is/was a giant slap in the face for us who play the game stateside. :(

[Carl1412]

Yeah, i don't play MGO, so i didn't know that.

[philrox]

I'm getting this game again tomorrow even if they don't add trophies, if they do it'll just be a bonus :)

[drdre74]

trophy patch isnt going to happen. People want it too much and they seem to only want to give us what he could care less about. Nothing has been shocking all week. Wow a new map didnt see that coming or the PS1 classic. duh!

[Yokan]

I think its safe to say that if this game gets trophies, some will be nearly warhawk impossible to get. Trust me its Kojima.

[xionpunk]

I'm no trophy fiend, but wouldn't it be kick ass if they could somehow add trophies to the psone classic games?

[pansenbaer]

Its possible. They added trophies and achievements to Wolfenstein as it was made available on PSN and Xbox Live.

[beeeffess]

If trophies aren't announced tomorrow, this game will never get them.

This is an ideal time to announce them. I also doubt there will be a substance version coming out either. But if there is, that will get trophies...only because all games released now require them.

I'd love trophies but it isn't likely.

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Trophies suck!!!!, how come people never use to ask for trophies in the PS2 days HECK! forget that even when the PS3 launched NO ONE wanted trophies but then as soon as Sony made it standard in every game people then all of a sudden start asking for it?

Seriously strange people.

By the way what can i do with my trophies once the bar gets to 100%?..........thought so.

[Kleptic]

I used to think that way...and I am by no means playing games that I don't want to simply to rack up trophies...but for an absolutely awesome game, the trophies are something cool on top of it...makes you do some stuff that you otherwise wouldn't...and definitely adds replay value imo...and Kojima/Konami would come up with some awesome trophies I would imagine...some easy, some hard, some hilarious...the in game awards are already like that, but i would love to look through my list of friends on the PSN and see what they have unlocked and what they haven't...

[Pika-pie]

Why didnt people ask for trophies in the PS2 days???

Because you dont miss what you have never had! Thats like asking why didnt people ask for internet access in 1940

[Highwayman]

I didn't know about this. Awesome. I was wondering if they ever would. Now to see if they'll release MGS2 and MGS3 on PSN too.

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

trophies tommorow or konami will only prove that they know how to fail and dont really listen to us...

[CobraKai]

I kinda wish that they'd port the PC version of MGS. It had smoother high res graphics. Same goes for FF7

[NathanGra]

I KNOW you did not just ask for them to port the EIDOS PC version of FFVII to PSN...

[DevastationEve]

there were 2 pc versions. Square EA and Eidos. I had the Square EA one, it was a square white box. And Eidos' verion was a triangle box, my friend had that one.

As for being sharper only the PC versions ran at 640x480 and only 16bit color. But the PSP's screen is small enough to where it'll still look its best, despite being 320x240.

And um...the battle menu status bar is going to be a REAL spoil since it's like a third of the screen.

[The_Zeitgeist]

Two weeks ago I was excited and bought FFVII when it was released on PSN. Then this week I finally figured out how to get a PS1 emulator working on my PC. Also I figured out how to make my Dual Shock Sixaxis work with my PC. I just got Metal Gear for it and Final Fantasy 8 and 9, Parasite Eve and a bunch of other games. Now I am a happy gamer. Technology rules!

[akenny01]

hey mate, can you post me links to these ? if u dont mind , in PM

Thanks

[CobraKai]

Does it clean up the gfx like Bleem used to do?

[The_Zeitgeist]

The graphics look better to me. Everything is smoothed looking. I play on a normal PC monitor and the games look better than the ones I have downloaded off of PSN on my HD.

[foxtheory]

I would REALLY like to get into MGO, and it looks fun, but it's a real hastle for me for some reason. Last time I created a Konami account and another account (the name of it escapes me), and it took like 2 hours for it do something (I think it was registering me or loading everything, idk). And then when it finished loading that, I came back the next day and it did the same thing (another 2 hours). If anyone knows what's going on, I would EXTREMELY appreciate it!! Like I said, I'd love to start it up, but if this keeps happening, it'll be too much of a hastle.

[DirtyLary]

It's worth the hassle. I just recently started playing MGO. Well worth it.

[foxtheory]

Okay, well I guess I'll have to try it again!! Especially now with this rookie thing and all the updates, I guess I have no choice!!

[SlaughterMeister]

Mmmm...MGS. Tastes good.

[HubbaBubba]

wow so many announcements, might as well just release the game :p

[JJFNIGHTS80]

I'm so PROUD TO BE A PS3 OWNER.

[clintos59]

I mean just these 5 classics alone kills anything out there.
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil
Final Fantasy 7
Twisted Metal 2
Wild Arms 2

Damn talk about killer classical apps at its finest.

[DevastationEve]

add wild 9, klonoa, tomba, grandstream saga, and vagrant story to that list.

then it'll be a REAL SHAME not to own a psp.

[Neo604]

now give me the mothafuken TROPHIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ConsoleFreak]

I gotta say im proud in being the owner of a sony product. Now all we need is for SONY to wise up and release GOW1 + GOW2 + GOW3 Demo all in one package.

That would make my day hehe.

[lewis]

sweet.

[SIX]

GOTY! :P
