Support NeoGAF

[Aostia]

the 10-more nextgen tag is ridiculous, am happier day after day of my ps3.
plus, if this will be jsut a mission, as it seems now, no way I'm paying even 20 bucks

 

[Cyborg]

So in the end there are two games? Konami wants us to pay two times?
Damn Im a huge fan of MGS and I will pay, they know my weakness. I hate them

 

[JudgeN]

Didn't realize this was a prologue but will buy with a PS4 regardless.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

No boxed next gen version, 10£ more expensive.

WTF Kojima?
Well, I suppose I will not support it.
Maybe I will buy the inevitable "Complete Edition" do MGSV for cheap in the future, maybe.

Wait what? It didn't say "no boxed PS4/bone versions" specifically right?

I want to pay full price for both games....

 

[Can Crusher]

There's literally nothing to complain about here.

Paying extra 10 pounds for.... increased rez and aa and framerate is nothing to complain about? I can buy an entire game for 10 pounds.

 

[HonMirin]

Really, really want this, but I'll wait to see what the content is before purchasing what appears to be a prologue. As it stands, it's like paying for a cinema ticket to watch the prologue of the movie

Spoiler

(Dark Knight Rises...)

If possible, I might wait until The Phantom Pain is released as well, so I can play it all at one point. Hopefully they'll do a full reduced pack containing both games.

Spoiler

Probably not, but here's hoping anyways.

 

[-Deimos]

$30 for a prologue mission and then $60 for the rest of the game? Do they think I was born fucking yesterday? I'll wait for the discounted GZ+PP steam package.

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

I wonder if the PC version will come out before or after the console version of The Phantom Pain.

 

[Desmond]

Here's hoping for some sweet Shinkawa art.

 

[Chinner]

considering how expensive it is, and how clunky the gameplay is looking i think i'll wait until its released together with the phantom pain at a more reasonable price (and what i assume bug fixes etc).

 

[GameAddict411]

Crappy prices for basically an "intro", and why there isn't a boxed version for the next gen consoles?

 

[enzo_gt]

$30 demoes/prologues will be the norm next gen huh? Or they'll force you to go digital in the hopes of a marginal digital discount on the full game later perhaps.

 

[The Omega Man]

Hey guys you better buy this demo, otherwise Kojima might start playing hardball and threatening us by saying that he needs the demo money to finish the Phantom Pain.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

must be a placeholder.

 

[Xater]

Hey guys you better buy this demo, otherwise Kojima might start playing hardball and threatening us by saying that he needs the demo money to finish the Phantom Pain.

As if. MGS and PES are the only games that still make some real money for Konami.

 

[Protag]

$30 for a prologue

they'll get suckers to buy it

Im that sucker, and i'm pleased to be one.

Here we go boys, cannot wait!!!!

 

[Salaadin]

Prices and release plans are weird to me but most of that isnt going to matter if the content is there to justify it. If this is a short, 5 hour intro, Ill be pretty irritated paying 30 bucks.

 

[RK9039]

Tons of missions?



It's exactly the demo they have been showing in presentations.

It will have more than just the saving Chico mission.

There's supposed to be Extra Ops, just like they showed us with the day time demo.

 

[MikeXXIeaf]

Paying extra 10 pounds for.... increased rez and aa and framerate is nothing to complain about? I can buy an entire game for 10 pounds.

I'll go out on a limb and say that you should probably see both finished versions before you decide on whether or not the extra 10 is worth it.

If the game was £30 across the board then this thread's response would be dramatically different. Why is no one complaining about all the PS3/360 games being priced 60 despite being inferior versions to their next-gen counterparts?

 

[Hagi]

DAY 1.

Should have a PS4 by the time this is out. Hopefully it releases not too far from Second Son. The next gen tax isn't surprising when suddenly games are being sold for £50 + and this is seen as respectable smh.

 

[TheVoidDragon]

What annoys me more than the £10 price increase or that there doesn't seem to be a boxed version is that the next-gen version is $29.99 in the US or £29.99 here, which is the equivalent of almost $48.

I bet it's also going to be 30€.

 

[kadab]

Then he should kickstart it. and not sell us a demo for 30 bucks

 

[SJRB]

I bet it's also going to be 30€.

No doubt.

Gotta get that 6-year dev cycle paid back one way or another.

 

[The Omega Man]

yes, they will hide 50 kero frogs and tell us to find them, did you like the extra stuff? buy pls that would be 30 dollars for the extra 30 frames, oh and no box, pls download this 200 gb file

 

[Sanke__]

TAKE MY MONEY!!!

 

[jacksepticeye]

Whole lotta bullshit going on to be honest

 

[Screaming Meat]

The cynicism is almost palpable in here.

 

[Blader]

I was hoping that they'd pack in the HD edition of Peace Walker with GZ, since the two are apparently so closely related.

No doubt.

Gotta get that 6-year dev cycle paid back one way or another.

Six years? At most it'll be four. Kojima was working on PW until 2010.

 

[PierrePressure]

I can totally understand where people are coming from with the price issue.

Sounds like a lot but the true value won't be revealed until the reviews start coming.

If they suggest it's overpriced then there is only one way to show your disapproval and that is by not buying it.

 

[ArjanN]

Complaining about the price when you have no way of knowing how long this is makes you look silly.

 

[Can Crusher]

I'll go out on a limb and say that you should probably see both finished versions before you decide on whether or not the extra 10 is worth it.

If the game was £30 across the board then this thread's response would be dramatically different. Why is no one complaining about all the PS3/360 games being priced 60 despite being inferior versions to their next-gen counterparts?

Because they are the same games with the same assets. You know, essentially they cost the same to produce.

 

[TGO]

Got this & TPP pre-ordered, hope they do release a disc version
and why are people calling it a demo? the game is likely longer then BF3/4 & COD:BO2/GHOSTS combined.

Voice of reason here.

 

[DJwest]

There is NO PC version announced.

 

[Blader]

Because it's just the first mission of the main game. You'll likely end up replaying GZ when you start up TPP anyway.

 

[LiK]

Still want boxed copy for next-gen.

 

[Sophia]

The cynicism is almost palpable in here.

There is a lot of cynicism regarding the length of the game, especially considering we don't know for sure, and Kojima's idea of a "mission" could easily be huge. Metal Gear Solid 3 was two missions, remember?

At any rate, I'll probably just rent the boxed version for the PS3 then buy the full game for the PS4. I've kinda fallen out of love for the mainline series, but who knows? Maybe Ground Zero will convince otherwise.

 

[Can Crusher]

Yes I'm sure that one area they have been showing is going to hold more than 20 hours of unique content. It just makes sense.

 

[jacksepticeye]

Complaining about the price when you have no way of knowing how long this is makes you look silly.

I'm complaining cos the price is different for both digital versions

 

[Josh7289]

I'll wait for the combined release

Spoiler

on PC.

 

[Crunch King]

Can't help but chuckle at people complaining about no physical next-gen versions. Come on people, you've got to accept the future at some point.

As to whether $30 is too much for this... we'll have to wait and see. If it is only a couple of hours long then yes, it's pretty expensive. Who knows, maybe it will be a solid 10 hours or so... although somehow I doubt it...

How do you know that?

 

[TGO]

Because it's just the first mission of the main game. You'll likely end up replaying GZ when you start up TPP anyway.

I highly doubt it, Kojima would just include it with TPP if thats the case
the reason behind 2 separate games is more then likely because the prologue is big enough to stand on it's own.

 

[rvy]

How do you know that?

He doesn't. Kojima fanboys are loony.

 

[MikeXXIeaf]

Because they are the same games with the same assets. You know, essentially they cost the same to produce.

In that case the higher specs of the PS4 and XB1 clearly aren't being utilized. Kojima is taking advantage of the new technology with his game and people are complaining because it cost more. Sound logic there.

 

[Blader]

I highly doubt it, Kojima would just include it with TPP if thats the case
the reason behind 2 separate games is more then likely because the prologue is big enough to stand on it's own.

Doubt what? You can see on the menu screen of the TGS demo that GZ is the first mission of TPP.

 

[Hagi]

Just wait till there's a £20 pound difference between the main game across platforms lol

 

[Wagram]

I'll be waiting for the full retail version that includes both games. I'm not paying $30 for an extended demo, and a digital release. It will eventually be on one disc, and in physical form.

Bad move Konami.

 

[Screaming Meat]

He doesn't. Kojima fanboys are loony.

We're not all loons.

 

[DiamondDogs]

As someone whose username comes from MGS5, there's almost no way for Konami to justify this price.

!Speculation! Kojima Productions needs cash to fund all their ventures (LA, MGO, testing, bigger staff, Fox Engine). This is a great move to promote the game but the inner cynic in me says this is more about funding.
