Fucking BS, Konami you cheap fucks. Definitively getting the HD Collection instead.

(Bullshot, I know)

And i love my 3DS but please, do not defend this.

 

[lantus]

Ehh I don't really see the point in this game, when they're making the HD Collection. Just seems like Konami is trying to cover all their bases, but doing a shitty job at the same time.

Doesn't matter if they're bullshots, we're only looking at textures, not AA.

Unless they changed the textures, of course.

 

[StuBurns]

Look at the enemy dude, that's embarrassing.

 

[Boney]

It was clear to me that the shots from before had to be bullshots, that's why I made that claim.

Was a whole trailer a bullshot?

Wtf are you smoking son

PS2 version doesn't look miles better, but at least the bricks look like bricks. :P

 

[jett]

Pretty much exactly like the PS2 version.

Complete fallacy.

 

[evilromero]

This is a significant downgrade from the PS2 if we're going by the screens. Why would anyone want to buy this when they can get the PS2 version or the upgraded HD collection? What a slap in the face to 3DS owners.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Is this one 3DS?

Here is (the same?) PS2 shot from IGN.

Wall and floor textures definitely look better on the PS2 version to me.

 

[Saint Gregory]

The crazy thing is if you look at shot where Snake is peeking out behind the cannisters part of the wall on the right has a really nice brick texture on the edge of the wall. WTF happened to the rest of it???

 

[infinityBCRT]

Proof?

I literally just checked on youtube and the tall canisters look exactly the same.

Canisters are the same, bricks and floor not so much.

 

[UncleSporky]

There's some good comparisons, thanks.

Lots of people definitely have rose tinted glasses here.

 

[gatotsu911]

How can the game look worse running on stronger hardware?

And why won't Konami either revamp or cancel this port?

Some people don't even have glasses in here.

The floor texture is hilarious too, you can see the floor chopped up in three different sections, each one worse that the last. Worst use of mipmapping ever.

wat

It looks significantly better.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Konami.

Konami.

 

[Boney]

I'm just curious as to how it'll look on the tiny screen.

 

[jett]

Totally and completely unrelated, but I fucking loathe thickheaded people unable to admit when they're wrong.

Don't you?

 

[Gospel]

Use the browser dude. i mean, it should be close enough.

in motion is another story.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I'm hoping that someone on the staff just got really drunk the night before they compiled the demo and loaded the wrong textures... that's not what happened though

A little blob.

Don't you?

I do. I wish you'd drop the facade and concede. It's like you don't even realize that the screens posted earlier weren't in the actual resolution you'll be seeing it at.

Capcom will never cancel this game as they did with MML3, they know we love this game

 

[Gospel]

?

Visit this thread on your 3ds browser foo and check them pictures.

 

[BurntPork]

Doesn't 3DS have like 3x as much RAM as the PS2? There's no excuse for these textures!

 

[antonz]

The game looks like ass because Konami doesnt give a fuck. As for the 3DS/PS2 comparisons they are retarded. They are the exact same screenshots at different resolutions.

Konami doesnt give a fuck and cant even be bothered to give 3DS screenshots

 

[Boney]

Visit this thread on your 3ds browser foo and check them pictures.

wouldn't the image be all big and wouldn't fit the screen?

 

[BDGAME]

I like these two shots:

If I had my way, the game would let you switch between the old models for the original look and those updated models for the current (canon) look.

Pics in the 3DS resolution look a lot better than a popout mess that big screens made it look.

 

[Saint Gregory]

I bet what's going on is that there isn't enough space for all the textures on the 3DS cart so Konami's being forced to compress the bejezus out of them. MGS3 is a long game IIRC.

 

[MuddyDonut]

;~; dempics

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

 

[Gospel]

nah, it scales to the size of the top screen.

 

[StuBurns]

I do. I wish you'd drop the facade and concede. It's like you don't even realize that the screens posted earlier weren't in the actual resolution you'll be seeing it at.

The 3DS has a PPI of 133, lots of monitors are higher, my MacBook is 135, very close.

How big was MGS3 PS2?

Didn't somebody said it'll run on a 4GB card?

nah, it scales to the size of the top screen.

So I want to go browsing on my 3DS?

 

[revolverjgw]

The best part is the random high-res bricks on the side of the wall

 

[SpaceBridge]

Is there anyways to resize those pics to 3DS size screen to get an accurate impression of how they may look?

I mean, I saw screen of RE Mercs they are pretty gross, but in person they look great. Could this be a similar situation?

 

[jett]

Dude I told you I was wrong about the Bayo thing, Jesus let it go man.

heh

LOL why don't you tell us again how it looks exactly like the PS2 version.

And it's only going to look worse in the sub-PSP resolution of the 3DS. Just imagine the same ugliness with a bunch more jaggies.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Is that a video of the game running on an emulator? I'm just curious because the video is in 720p. Not that it really matters because the textures are clearly better anyway. The textures on the 3DS version are horrendous.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

doesn't matter how powerful the 3DS is, Kojima just doesn't give a frak about this game and it shows

Those pics I posted were from MGS3 running on PCSX2. You can see them plus captures of the other games at this channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/DeltaForceSFODD#g/p. He has two versions of MGS3 captures, the vids from 2010 are the better quality versions.

 

[Saint Gregory]

How big was MGS3 PS2?

I did a search for rips but the file sizes seemed to vary between 3 and 4GBs

Didn't somebody said it'll run on a 4GB card?

I didn't know the were making those yet, I thought the max size right now is 2GB.

If you're lazy and use Firefox, just use Image Zoom to do a rough approximation.

 

[watershed]

Okay I just checked out this thread on the 3ds browser to see the 3ds screenshots per someone's suggestion above. And it doesn't really work. The image kinda scales to the top screen size but not quite. Of course having the images appear on a tiny screen rather than my laptop screen do make the 3ds shots a little bit better looking. But blurry textures and still blurry textures.

Hopefully Konami will release some mpo shots like they did for that labyrinth game, then we'll be able to judge better.

Do you mean the one I posted? According to the comments it's played on a PS2 but recorded with a HD-PVR.
