MGS:GZ - Looks and Performs a lot better on PS4...

Speaking of 1080p/60fps I hope Kojima rereleases the Legacy Collection (or some variant) on Next-Gen Systems one day. MGS4 could really use the framerate boost and MGS2 & 3 HD were only 720p as well I think.

What does that have to do with anything? MGS2 was specifically built with the strengths of PS2's very complex and awkward technology in mind, it was an exclusive for years. They found it difficult to adapt the engine's PS2 quirks to the Xbox with parity.

That has nothing to do with this situation. Again, are you implying Hideo Kojima specifically neutered the Xbox One version so PS4 could have the best version? Are you denying the PS4's gargantuan technical advantage as the core factor for this tech disparity?

No. I'm implying that Hideo Kojima game are meant to be played on Sony platforms. ;)

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.
He was likely referring to indie games as that's his responsibility.

If that was what he meant - although he didn't write it -, one might ask him why he judges Indie games by different standards. He jumped on a (at that time) hot topic over-enthusiastically, and that is never a good idea for people with his visibility.

Looks like this trend won't be disappearing any time soon.
Jup, Microsoft is stuck with the weaker console for the rest of this generation. The only thing they can do is the same as what Sony did halfway through the PS3s life, deliver as much value as you can.
 
Didn't Kojima only say they were "aiming" for 1080p/60fps on next-gen? That didn't necessarily have to mean both consoles would achieve that target lol.
 
I was talking about the hardware specs situation.



That second tweet doesn't seem to follow that logic.

I don't agree. Almost all his tweets are about indie content and developers because that's his job. When indie developers are telling him that their content will run 1080p, 60fps he's going to tweet that out of enthusiasm. And thus far, the majority of indie content for PS4 is 1080p 60fps. That's the context.

Sadly twitter is a terrible medium for this sort of stuff due to the character limit and that it's easy to take one or two tweets out of the wider context of the author.

Instead of appreciating that wider context, it's far easier to create controversy and videogamez warz through selective quoting.

EDIT: Whether it was wise for him to have tweeted that is a separate matter given the current hot button topic of frame rate and resolution is another matter entirely.
 
I'm sure they know. I don't think you should expect to admit that though.

But didn't Albert recently say he has insider info that there is no power gap? I don't have a direct quote but when they say things like that it just makes them look silly. It's a tough situation for them to be in though. I guest best thing to do is focus on the strengths of your console, even if they might not be Inge that appeal to core gamers.

I can see that happening. I was trying to go back and see the context and previous tweets but I got tired of scrolling.
 
To be fair, another "exclusive" also manges to NOT achieve 1080p on Xbone. Anyway, the 60fps in MGS2 were the best thing that could happen technically and after the really mediocre graphics in MGS4 this would be pretty great. Fox Engine looks incredible.



Huh? I thought MGS4 looked amazing, especially for an early generation PS3 title.

Didn't MGS4 look incredible when it launched?

Based Kojima, justifying our $399 purchase.

I thought so too. I hated the constant installing between chapters, but that was apparently fixed by a patch last year...



Yeah, the installing was pretty annoying, but even after the trophy patch came out, I went back and played it and thought it can easily hold it's own against current PS3 and X360 games. I do wonder if MGS:Ground Zero and Phantom Pain will be as memorable and great as MGS4. MGS4 was arguably the best experience of the generation for me. So powerful and awesome imo. Beauty and the Beast unit, microwave, Metal Gear, characters, etc.

I know it's a glorified demo but I bought it anyway. I don't really care how long the game is as long as it's good really. Need more MGS.

I know I'm part of the problem, sorry...

3rd party devs and pr people will continue to downplay differences for the sake of keeping the peace with MS

They don't give a fuck about "keeping the peace with MS", they give a fuck about sales. You know, to keep the lights on and all that.

Inferior version or not, they still desperately want the Xbox One version to sell gangbusters.
 
Kojima Productions just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Xbox culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in PlayStation Land where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Xbox Town, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the Xbox public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Ground Zeroes for either system, nor will they purchase any of Kojima's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Kojima has alienated an entire market with this move.

Kojima, publicly apologize and cancel Ground Zeroes for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

That DLC would have been so much better if solid snake had a proper 3d model, instead its always the same crappy ps1 model in things like this

I agree. Not sure if it's nostalgia or Kojima being Kojima, but he should understand that it got old and he looks quite bad.

Knowing his ways, I'm sure he would develop a MGS1 remake with him looking like that.

Man how i hate MS for what they have done to the xbox brand. So much goodwill gained the hard way over the previous 2 gens and they go and piss it away like this.
How could MS go so underpowered this gen? And its not like the PS4 is some kinda ray tracing beast.
I just wonder if MS could go back in time and redo the xbone what they would do.
 
I guess we can stop talking about this. Its old! Multiplatform games will always perform better on PS4. So if anyone wants to buy the inferior version of a game, pick it up on Xboned.

Its decent but look at the 2005 reveal trailer. The downdgrade is pretty significant in the final release. It had great lighting but the animations were straight from PS2 and the textures were some of the lowest in resolution I have seen on PS3. Its good that Kojima learned from this and developed a proper engine and the result is this beautiful MGSV.

Why are these threads still a thing?

Consoles are out - platform disparities exist.

Get over it.
Because people like talking about differences? Plenty of folks own both XO and PS4 so if there are differences, many would like to know so they can get the best version.

These threads exist and you aren't forced to post in them, man. You have the liberty to ignore them.
