Gold / PS+ is required for co-op, but you still have to be connected to the internet just to play the game. As if this game needed to give people even more of a reason to skip. Micro-transactions incoming, but I guess we already knew it was happening/

Gamezone · Oct 25, 2017

Wasn't this always meant to be online multiplayer?

I don't know how much more out I can be

Konami previously stated the entire campaign can be played solo.

kmax · Oct 25, 2017

Dear jesus god.

Just stop Konami. Don't even bother to release this. Go straight to pachinko.

Hydrogen Bluebird · Oct 25, 2017

Wow. An online-only Metal Gear game. Never thought it would happen.

Gamezone · Oct 25, 2017

Can't blame the microtransactions for this crap. The game should still be playable offline.

Avallon · Oct 25, 2017

Did you expect any less from Konami?

Sad Affleck · Oct 25, 2017

I loved MGS V. Pass.

You can't blame publishers for Microsoft's launch mistakes.

Anyway.. Like people didn't dislike Metal Gear Survive and Konami enough as it is.

But MGS Survive was always announced as an online title.

TheJollyCorner · Oct 25, 2017

Fascinated to see how this game turns out in general.
No Kojima. Always-online DRM.

I mean, I'm kind of amazed Konami is releasing a PS4/X1 game in 2018. I thought that ship had sailed beyond the PES games...

Publishers were the one pushing for it and that was reported on...

So, you don't know what your talking about here.

SJRB · Oct 25, 2017

Sure, piss off the like 8 people who are actually excited for this game.

Publishers can add always online independent of Microsoft, yet very few does. And when they add always online, it has more to do with how the game is design, and less to do with DRM.

mindsale · Oct 25, 2017

I wonder if retaining Hayter would generate some goodwill or just make everyone despise Konami more.

They wanted it while being able to have all the blame on ms. Obviously after what happened they couldn't.

AudioEppa · Oct 25, 2017

Some publishers sure like wasting money and game developing time. Oh well, Do you Konami.

TissueBox · Oct 25, 2017

Shame but it does look fun.

Nokagi · Oct 25, 2017

I wasn't going to buy it anyway but yeah that's pretty crappy

Xbox One wasn't suppose to be always online anyway. It was "offline" with a check-in system once every 24 hour.

Clockwork · Oct 25, 2017

It's ridiculous, but who in this day and age doesn't have their console connected to the internet?

My main beef would be what happens when they stop supporting the game and/or what happens when you want to play it 10 years from now. You'll just have a useless disc.

KOMANI · Oct 25, 2017

Its konamis way of keeping cheating to a minimum. On mgsv, you can upload an old save and get back resources, armory, abd men from fobs.

Mexen · Oct 25, 2017

Whatever interest I had in this game is gone.

KormaChameleon · Oct 25, 2017

Oh boy, It's like they want their game to bomb really hard.

It`s not about who has their console connected or not. Why is this so hard to understand?

shimon · Oct 25, 2017

Always online huh? Bc it worked so great for Xbone when they announced it.

pswii60 · Oct 25, 2017

My consoles are always connected to the internet so I really couldn't give a shit. I'm sorry that doesn't fit in with the narrative of this thread though. And I'm sorry you all have such flaky internet connections.

With regards to the game, is much of Kojima's old team working on this, or have they all left (the talent) to join him in his new venture?

Clockwork said:

Are you really concerned about playing this game in 10 years time? The only games I still 'own' (if you can call it that) from 10 years ago are digital XBL/PSN titles. And discs these days are just a mere delivery method - all your discs in 10 years are going to be unpatched buggy nightmares without the online services regardless. We'll all be enjoying the lack of V-sync in DOOM on PS4 for example.

belteshazzar · Oct 25, 2017

This game was already DOA. Now is deader than ever.

1morerobot · Oct 25, 2017

No buy. Thanks for making it easy Konami.

Someone forgot to tell that to EA.

Spacejaws · Oct 25, 2017

Yea alot of my games I take with me when Im working abroad on prepaid data plans so this is a no buy for me.

Shame as I was actually a bit intrigued how well MGSV would translte to this.

EA actually removed always online from the upcoming NFS because people hated it in their last game.

You and all the other people complaining about offline are the ones that really dont understand. Look at Diablo 3 console. That game allows for offline saves. Online matchmaking is awful because you are going to mm with someone with modded gear or someone who took advantage of duping glitches which are only possible because of local save files. Players who are active in the D3 console community would take always online in a heartbeat instead of what they have right now if given a choice.

The only way for offline play to work is the offline save can never be used online. Do you really expect players are going to be cool with playing two separate save files? I sure as hell wouldnt.

MaximusPayne · Oct 25, 2017

Not good. This game screams RE: Umbrella Corps so bad. Why even bother?

Wait really? Now suddenly I'm interested in the new NFS.

Well, it's good then that MGSV's online component is NOT plagued by numerous hackers who ruin any effort of unlocking the nuclear ending of the game, right? Konami got cheaters covered.

But wait, MGO3 and the FOB competent of MGSV are still plagued by cheaters to this day, and MGO3 is an online-only component of MGSV that's separate from the single player portion of the game.

But I guess it's for our benefit that Metal Gear Survive is always online.

Remind me again how long MGO 2 was live before Konami shut down the servers? I know you can mod your PS3 to allow the online portion of MGS4 to work, but that's something I quite frankly would rather not have to do just to play a single player game.

stargateheaven · Oct 25, 2017

But.... this looks so fun to me, especially after seeing the gameplay trailer....

SolidSnakeUS · Oct 25, 2017

They just can't stop. Not only is it forcing online for consoles, they don't even have a PC version.

I'll put it this way, I firmly believe that Konami is trying to video games now as lazy as possible. Literal minimum effort.

Sorry, I take that back, they are putting in maximum effort to say "fuck you" to consumers.

Stallion Dan · Oct 25, 2017

The microtransaction prices in MGO3 were terrible, like £6 for a colour, for one item, if wanted another item that colour, pay again. Per item, not item slot.

The game is coming to PC on the same day as consoles.

Only reason D3 is a mess is because Blizzard decided to let people import saves from last gen versions. If they had just not done that current gen would be fine as cannot edit those saves.

Metal Gear Survive will require an internet connection even when playing solo.
