1UP Previews Metal Gear Solid 4

Metal Gear Solid 4 arrives soon, bringing an end to the saga of Solid Snake (if not to the series itself). Many questions will no doubt be answered by this grand finale, and the storyline will doubtlessly feature plenty of tricksy twists and turns.

Still, there's some fun to be had in analyzing the game's promotional trailers and interviews with director Hideo Kojima to see just how much of the plotline we can squeeze from existing info. Needless to say, spoilers ahead -- but only those that are already public knowledge courtesy of Kojima Productions.

lots of sites are giving out reviews without even playing the MGO online! or doing nothing to little exploration when playing.

OgTheClever6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

Especially since I get to submit it!

EDIT
Hey you've changed your comment; mine sounds a little out of place now. :(

sonarus6595d ago

1up needs to grow some balls and review the game. They keep doing previews because it is giving them site hits. They know MGS4 is hot like fire. Now review it and decide you fate. 9.5-9.0 and below...unsatisfactory. 9.0 below, worthy of some lynch mobbing

OgTheClever6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

Hey Sonarus, don't forget that there is still 1 and a half weeks to release.

It is possible that they haven't received a review copy yet (although they are a big and widely recognised site so this assumption may be unlikely).

Also you've got to consider that MGS4 is such a big game with so much variety that it takes at least a few playthoughs to fully comprehend the game.

sonarus6595d ago

Nah they are already reviewing it they even posted some early review impressions.

http://forums.n4g.com/1UP%2...

so far it all looks good except for the one guy who said splinter cell has better controls.

morganfell6595d ago

yes, but if you saw the podcast the 1uppers playing mgs were getting their butts kicked. they said the learning curve was too steep. they didn't like it. and i could care less. they will give the game an 8.5 or so.

it is a niche game for gearheads and this is what happens when people that think cod4 is the ultimate come over to mgo and try the same run and gun-no teamwork-no tactics bs. those of use that ran mgs3 mgo knew and were thrilled at what we experienced. the thinking persons tactical online game is just around the corner. basically put mgo doesn't forgive or welcome stupid people.

Kleptic6595d ago

agreed...no way 1up gives the game above an 8.5...frankly, an 8.5 would totally surprise me...

its not Halo...and its not on the 360...that more or less declares its fate...the fact that its drawing tie-ins to splinter cell from them immediately shows that this game is very far over their head...

was a pretty decent preview though...it shows they are at least aware of the questions still left in the story...so maybe there is a little hope...but 1up is excellent at finding minor quibbles with a PS3 game, and laughing all the way to the bank (literally, the amount of hits they get is out of control)...oddly though 360 games are not given the same attention for the most part (complain about minor texture pop-in in Uncharted, then briefly touch on it for Mass Effect...srsly...)...

we will see...I am a huge MGS fan, so reviews of the game were never really important to me...It would just be nice for sites obviously on MS's payroll to ignore their benefactor, and give credit where credit is clearly due...

GS will also give it 8/9 just like EUROGAMER and EDGE

However barring these 4 SONY HATERS ............most websites will give MGS4 a 10/10

MGS4 has already got 10/10 from many websites

GAMEPRO
LEVEL
MERISTATION
PTOM
PSM
PSW

+ numerous other websites would give it 10/10

LTC6595d ago

We will just have to see.
The only thing that pisses me off is that these sony hating websites count on Metacritic.

niall776595d ago

most sites havent learned that MGS is a part of MGS4 and NOT a diffrent game.

highdro6595d ago

if it gets less than a 9 then u eurogamer,edge wre all but comiting sucide because people will not be reading ur reviews any more apart from ur x box fan bois!!!!!!

Tmac6595d ago (Edited 6595d ago )

They keep doing these previews saying "it's one of the best games ever" and then Eurogamer and EDGE BOTH SAY the same thing in their previews and deliver a 8. I expect a 8.8-9.3 from 1up.

Frig, Kojima should just send out a bag of goodies like every other publisher/developer now a days and get it over with.

Konami Delists Some Metal Gear Games From Digital Stores Without Warning

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.

cloganart122d ago

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Commentby122d ago

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.

jjb1981122d ago

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."

gigoran8121d ago

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!!!!"

computeSci121d ago (Edited 121d ago )

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?

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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!!

Rude-ro835d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72835d ago

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.

_SilverHawk_835d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga835d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos835d ago (Edited 835d ago )

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

seanpitt23835d ago

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!

Iceball2000835d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin835d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole835d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix835d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989835d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor835d ago (Edited 835d ago )

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 😱

Michiel1989835d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
