METAL GEAR SOLID 4? Really, Sony?

It's a MGO Tournament Konami is doing. A GAFer said he was in the tourny.

 

[Paracelsus]

Dang, I hoped they'd announce trophies. <.<

 

[OokieSpookie]

It’s sad that DCharlie has to explain himself to a bunch of juniors.

It’s ok DCharlie, they'll learn eventually. Thanks for the impressions dude and keep 'em coming.

Sooooo if calling a junior junior gets a person tag fucked, what does calling a bunch of juniors get?
I really would not expect more announcements, unless I understand business even less than I think that I do

[BlazingDarkness]

wait, are they showing the FFXIII thing, live streaming? i.e we will see it?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

speculation points to yes (since it's part of Sony's deal, that is) we will see it. Live streaming I'm not sure.



Put this up in the JP PSN store, Sony!

 

[SolidSnakex]

=O

Don't get too excited about that. The admission ticket system likely means that they're going to make sure that those that do get a ticket aren't bringing cameras in there.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

interesting, will definately keep an eye out
so that's this sunday yes?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

aww damn!

...oh well, it would be nice to at least get impressions. I still haven't heard anything on the Closed Theater FFXIII trailer.

Is that second pic silver or white?

 

[StuBurns]

Is that second pic silver or white?

White, the silver looks much darker.
It's hot isn't it?

 

[gregor7777]

White, the silver looks much darker.

Ah, cool. Hard for me to tell sometimes.

If I were to buy another PS3, I would definitely want a white one. Those look slick.

 

[teepo]

so, how have the jap's reactions towards lbp been?

[OldJadedGamer]

METAL GEAR SOLID 4? Really, Sony?

It's like the one episode of The Simpsons where Marge finds that rare and expensive dress and everyone is impressed but she doesn't have any other dresses to wear the next time she sees her friends so she keeps cutting and altering the same dress hoping no one catches on.

[batbeg]

LocoRoco 2 looks like it's adding a lot of new stuff, which is great, though I would've been content with a simple expansion pack of more levels in the same mechanics. Can't wait for it!

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

Patapon Rocks!

Sorry Princess Skittles! :lol

yeap, patapon will win over locoroco, any day, time and way.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Oooo! That LBP bundle looks hot! Does it have the MGS4 BC 80 gig or is it the "FU Jive Turkey" 80 gig?

 

[gregor7777]

Another? I didn't know you had one.

Yep, for a short while. Sold it though, prices for 60GB systems were pretty good on ebay. I wasn't playing it at all, and my wife was not pleased.

I'll come back one day though, once the exclusive RPG lineup is better and the prices are lower.

That's why we (should) call him Shame

Hey you're back, awesome.

 

[DCharlie]

I'm not too sure why there is so much hate towards scripting DCharlie... I am guessing you are looking forward to Gears 2 (as am I) but there is going to a be a shit load of scripting in that game, are you going to bring that up as well?

It's not that the scripting is bad, i guess i was a bit surprised that it wasn't a bit more Crysis than CoD4 due to the physics etc. That's perhaps me picking things up wrong from the previous trailers etc.

E.g.
"get the rocket launcher, take out the bridge!"

the mild disappointment came when i then ran to the bridge and expected to aim at the bridge and watch it destroy in glorious CellPhysicsOVision...

but that's not the case - it's still "well, no, you have to fire the rocket launcher at these two explosive boxes, and then we'll let the bridge destroy!"

It's minor though - doesn't make the game necessarily worse, i guess i just sort of expected something else.

during the firefights, the AI was decent enough though, but again - can't really get a full feel for things until the god mode is switched off.

the other parts were basically "take out the tank!" , "go help <name> open the door", "protect me while i open the door" - again, not -bad- per se, but just the same feel as every other FPS. That's not Guerilla's fault, that's just how FPS games are but it contributed to the feeling that it was just another FPS.

Again, i appreciate that that is all a bit unfair given this is one tiny play slot with no hands on of the multiplayer, so things may work out. It was on my 'to buy' list, and it's remained on it unlike a host of other games, so i think that's a good sign!

re: Gears 2 - i've seen nothing outside of one trailer so far so i'm sort of "meh" until i buy and play it. Given that the single player imo wasn't as great as everyone else though (game rescued by Coop) then i'd want to see how it hangs together.

On scripting, Resistance 2 was cursed -and- blessed by it. The huge robot scripting/set pieces were really cool - i liked the whole battlefield sense and the feeling of something much bigger going on around you. But while that scripting was great, the battles were a bit too tightly set up - too many fire fights went down in narrow corridors with little in the way of tactical choices. I'm a big resistance 1 fan and i thought the game shon when it was at it's open battlefield mayhem best, so again - i'm sure this is just because this is the first level of the game and that the usual nice stuff is beyond this level.

[jts]

White, the silver looks much darker.
It's hot isn't it?

Is this one you're talking about?

If so, it's clearly silver.

 

[StuBurns]

Yeah, I was assuming he meant the second pic with a PS3 on it.

Holy Shit @ that PSP

I think I read somewhere where the lines for LBP were quite long at TGS. Now we will see if those turn into sells, but after playing the beta, I would buy this game twice it's so good.
