Earlier this week, Konami.com launched the Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition Playstation 3 Bundle for North Americans. Initially, Konami's web servers melted under the onslaught of clicks as gamers and eBay 'entrepreneurs' tried to get a hold of the limited bundle.
March forward to today (May 30th), and the Konami servers appear to be fully operational. In addition, the bundle has been available for pre-order most of the day without much trouble at all (as of 10:30 p.m. EST). Compared to the chaos from the previous days, and the fact that it has been relatively easy to order today, it didn't appear to some that the bundle was as rare as initially thought.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"
And? What is your point?
Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"
I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:
"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."
So again, what is your point?
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.
Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.
resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword
Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2
Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.
There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.
Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence
The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
This is going to sell big on ebay
I think either:
a) they have plenty in stock
b) its not selling like they thought it would
because I put one in my shopping cart just for fun (to see if it'd work) and it went no problem...and this was a few days ago.
I hope this isn't a sign of sales for MGS4 :(
Even though it doesn't matter, I just wanna see this game do numbers.
Oh man. I think I'm gonna buy 3 of them and sell two on ebay later on.
97% on Metacritic, guys. http://www.metacritic.com/g...
Spread the word. It's close to beating GTA IV even with Eurogamer's biased review.
Can't wait.
by $110 then throw in tax and shipping. It comes out to $180 more for me then it would cost to just buy a 40 gb from Amazon since tax and shipping is free.
Just because it was easy to pre-order the bundle, it doesn't mean that it wasn't as rare as previously thought, it just means that Konami has gotten there act together and has stepped up there servers for high traffic. On the Japanese Konami store, they sold out of the Limited Edition 40GB PS3 MGS4 bundles within a few days, but I think that it's safe to say that Konami has provided the U.S. with more bundles than Japan most likely due to the fact that the Gaming market is larger in the U.S..... the only thing I would like right now is those MGS4 Bluetooth Headphones ( not the Bluetooth Headset), but they are only avaliable in Japan.
If I had the extra cash I would get the Limited Edition 40GB MGS4 bundle.... I wouldn't even use that PS3 if I got it, I would just put it in a glass case and add it to my Playstation console collection.
