Latest EDGE Scores (MGS4, LostWinds, Haze etc)
- Thread starter flipping_heck

syllogism said:
- Play area has been reduced, from 20 cities down to about 5-10.
- Single player has 4 other civilizations to play against, again reducing the breadth of the experience but increasing the pace overall.
- D-Pad is used to select units, and anologue stick to move them around the map.
- Bumper buttons provide city management data and diplomatic relationships, while the face buttons ends your turn.
- Perfectly suited to its platforms (note that they reviewed the PS3 version)

Any fan of MGS is shiting themselves right now because their mind is trying to figure out how much awesome is packed into those 90 minutes.Hunahan said:

People really shouldn't be concerned with the score. You all know that MGS4 is going to be amazing right?
That's all you need to know.
I also agree, I couldn't care less how long the cutscenes are. I always enjoyed watching them in previous Metal Gear games and I know I'll enjoy them now. People hoping to have Snake's story done justice in what might be the last Metal Gear game (or maybe not) should be jumping for joy at how many minutes of cutscenes there appears to be in this game.

Basically. The ultimate fan service. But... can you pause, rewind etc? I wouldn't want to accidentally press X and then miss the rest, or have to go out for something and miss it.dr3upmushroom said:

So if GRID had been hyped it would've got a 10? Just stop these fucking stupid score discussions already. It's the review text that matters.ymmv said:
As with every MGS game no matter what the fuck anyone else says if you like MGS this game will probably be a 10 for you. MGS3 was not regarded as highly as MGS2 score wise and yet MGS2 is hated on by many casual MGS players these days. I know it's annoying that not everyone enjoys MGS, but you know you will love MGS4. Just remember...

That's not reviews, and it was apparently related to printed magazines, and it was pure BS because we have this review. So I was right, they were spreading FUD.Deepblue said:
This conclusion reads like it is one of the best games ever actually, Edge redeemed, maybe they get paid for scores but still write honest reviews. Or just have it in tradition not to give more than 8 to an MGS game.
Gamepro:
Maybe there are some cut scenes that are longer depending on what you do? Like a secret ending or something.

Doom 4 is getting revealed fast.dabookerman said:
Iron Man, a 2. Yeah, it's a shame but obviously there is never going to come a good licensed game from a movie. I downloaded the demo and the game sucked indeed, while it could have been so cool. But the graphics suck, the controls are annoying and the gameplay isn't fun because all of that. Too damn bad.

Wait wtf 
That's 2 cutscenes COMBINED near the 90 minute mark right? Or is it 2 cutscenes that are both 90 minutes each?
If so then all I gotta say is wow, but I welcome it
I originally thought they meant the game had 90 minutes worth of cutscenes total.

8-9 hours of cutscenes.

Very glad to see the CivRev score, and this quote from the review in particular bodes well for the game;
"While the streamlined and brisk approach that brushes over some of the minutiae of the previous games might cause some PC fans to baulk, Revolution has concentrated rather than diluted the Civ experience, creating an expression of the concept that's perfectly suited to it's platform."

There's hours of cut scenes, and 20 hours of gameplay, for 60 this game puts most other games to shame. You could skip all the cut and you still get a game longer than all 3 "best" games from last year put together.
And if the gameplay is this amazing, and they reached the perfect spot with controls, then how come the game didn't score higher?
Just a thought.

Ok, these two comments
-not a game for metal gear outsiders
- 90 minute cutscenes
seem to have been completely contradicted by several other reviews. The first, ok thats opinion, but WTF is up with this 90 minute cs talk.

needs 2 extra inches
the funny thing about the two 90-min-cutscenes issue is that all of the people who're aware of it will wait for it while playing the game, prolly with some snacks, some will drop the controller only and kick back and relax on a comfy sofa, just to discover that there was an active event they missed, OR that the scene was really short and there's a boss battle right after it

Damn 90min is crazy, I hope that this time you can pause the cut-scenes.

Sure.legend166 said:
Another thought, if there are two 90 minutes cutscenes, then that makes it 3 hours put together, meaning that 2 cut scenes take up 1/3 of the entire cut scene length in the game.
We know that cut scenes are spread out, so you get one in about 2 hours of gameplay, let's say that the intro and ending are the long ones, that would mean that between the 20 hours long gameplay you have 6 hours of cut scenes, spread between every hour or two, that would put average cut scene length at about 5 minutes.
5 minutes people, between every hour or two of gameplay.

i loved lost winds, really great, but it's strange to see it getting the same score a sMGS4.. must be great for those devs though.
