Via TGR - "Browsing through Gamestop last weekend, I spent some time staring longingly at the new copies of Dragon Quest 4. Being a huge fan of old style RPGs and turn-based gameplay in general, I was tempted to purchase the game right there and then. I only make $100 every two weeks, and with bills and gas to pay for, that doesn't leave a lot of leeway for overly priced, albeit cool, video games at the moment. That in mind, I've taken it upon myself to use this week's Bargain Bin to point you toward some of the more affordable, yet still awesome turn-based games you can play on the go."
There are more franchises that cater to particular people than ever in the online melting pot. But there are plenty of sequels and spin-offs that don’t even start, uh, cooking in that melting pot.
Metal Gear Solid is a hugely popular series, but not every game has achieved true notoriety. Here are 7 lesser known Metal Gear Solid games.
The list is missing Metal Gear Solid Mobile for Nokia phones, but it includes the well known and multi million selling Portable Ops? 🤨
There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.
I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.
It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.
Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.
This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.
I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.
kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.
Hence i said script
i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements
Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.
Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.
Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.
i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.
i think its not easy to replicate.
I doubt it could.
Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.
I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.
Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.
Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.
To many good new games for me to look at old title right now...
I feel you on the shortage of cash. I particularly enjoyed the MGAcid titles, mostly because they were so affordable.
