Joh Zeitler reports:
'' Since 1998's revival of the series, the title "Metal Gear" has been synonymous with three things: stealth, story, and confusion. Stretching even further back to its MSX debut, Metal Gear's tale of conspiracy, science fiction, and espionage action has only become more convoluted and all-encompassing in the intervening ten years. With the release of the fourth chapter, the curtain closes on the hero close to many gamers' hearts, but the culmination of over twenty years of gaming history and fifty years of real-life history brings with it a bittersweet victory.
The game opens five years after the end of the Big Shell incident, as portrayed in Metal Gear Solid 2. Snake - rapidly aging for an initially unrevealed reason - continues his fight to end the horrific proliferation of the Metal Gear mobile weaponry platform. The battlefield, he muses, has changed: standing armies are now the exception in combat, rather than the primary actors. The majority of modern warfare by the game's alternate-future 2014 is done by private military contractors (PMCs), mercenary corporations fighting proxy wars for the highest bidder. The five most highly decorated of these PMCs are covertly under the control of a single backer, named Outer Heaven-- the same organization that Big Boss' heir apparent "Liquid Ocelot", would use to attempt (seeming) global domination. What's worse, non-nuclear, autonomous versions of the Metal Gear-- named GEKKO-- roam the battlefields with impunity. With time running out for the world and himself, Snake's final mission takes him from the war zones to the streets, and from the past to the future. ''
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.
FAIL Bots.
Go take your homemade BS somewhere else. MGS4 owned EVERYTHING.
sigh mgs4 meta score dropped to 94 due to this stinky review...
mgs4 review scores are weird though, unlike ohter AAA titles which has scores that are consistent like 100,100,99,99,,98,95, MGS4 Has 100,100,100,100,85,80,80,80,80
of course there are A LOT more 100s.... than 80s...
The discrepancy in the scores are because this is an Exclusive and not on both consoles. Therefore you have alot sites that are either fanboys or just don't like the series at all reviewing it. just read some of these bad reviews. All the negative points are what made all the MGS games great! Trust me if this was a multi-console game it would be like 99.9% average, but then again if it was multi kojima wouldn't have been able to make the game that great.. so oh well.
Even if you don't like the series there is still no doubting the quality that oozes from this game. Anyone who fails to see it is either a fanboy, hate the series, or plain blind, all of which is reason enough for them to not review this game.
BTW there are so many more 10s not even listed on metacritic. I think metacritic is kind of wierd in that they don't included alot of reviews!
Who cares, buy the game, play the game and get blown away!
And when you are done, play it again and then you have MGO!
MGS4 FTW GOTY
