Three Adjustments That Could Improve Metal Gear Survive

It’s clear that Metal Gear Survive isn’t going to go down as the best-selling game sporting the Metal Gear title, but it’s also a far cry from the terrible experience many preemptively claimed it would be. There is, however, plenty that could be changed to better the experience.

Remove the always online requirement and I may give it a chance if it’s on sale for below $15

TheGamersGhost3058d ago

I can never understand why games with single player components would want to push "always online." That cuts out a chunk of the market without seemingly gaining anything from it.

So... The title says "three adjustments" but then the author adds a "bonus" adjustment. Anyone else here find that stupid?

TheGamersGhost3057d ago

Huh. Not quite what I expected someone to take away from this...

But, as the author, I think I have to agree with you. That was an odd choice and I wish I could remember why I did it.

ChrisW3056d ago

Not too certain what it was that made me point that out. The article wasn't bad. Actually rather well written as an opinion piece, but there was just something about that bonus. Maybe it was the length of it? Maybe it was the topic of it?

Well... Anyway, I noticed you updated it to "Four..."

KillZallthebeast3056d ago

Oh he did...I even backed him...Disreguard what I said before I back chris

KillZallthebeast3057d ago

Lol no bonus is typically just them throwing in their own weaker and subjective point not worth bringing into the main article

PhantomS423057d ago

Just need one, scrap the game and never try to make a game again Konami. Stick with pachinko.

TheGamersGhost3057d ago

Seems to be the popular sentiment.

Chumdiddy3057d ago

1. Cancel the game.

2. ?

3. Profit

1nsomniac3057d ago

...only 3. You’re gonna need more than that!

I wonder if they will remove the load screens? I kind of hope they do.

Tankbusta401085d ago

"In addition, the game will likely lack the bizarre charm, humor, and depth that can only be found in games that Kojima himself worked on."

If its a remake that stays loyal to the source material how is this an issue?

Kojima cultists are wacky

jznrpg1084d ago

If they change the script that’s where they would f up big time. They would be stupid to do that

MIDGETonSTILTS171084d ago

Try not to pivot from the smartest enemies ever to zombies.

Those aren't "Solid" games tho.

chicken_in_the_corn1711d ago

They're still part of the main series

Z5011711d ago

"They're still part of the main series"
No one said otherwise.

MG 1 and 2 aren't Solid games tho. Title literally says "Solid"

Just stating facts.

RaidenBlack1711d ago

Pachinko ... loads of 'em.

Likely nothing. After Survive failed Konami knows they can't capitalize on that franchise without Kojima. And Kojima doesn't want to make MGS games anymore, for a decade he kept saying he wanted to make other games.

Gridknac1711d ago

Bingo! We got a winner here, show them what they have won!

Nyxus1711d ago

It's so frustrating that we hear absolutely nothing. Remember, this is what Konami said six years ago: https://www.metalgearinform...

RaidenBlack1711d ago

Lets guess that Konami wants the MGS franchise to continue to be multi-platform. Hence don't want to partner with either MS or Sony.
They can easily collab with other Japanese studios (if Konami is unwilling to do MGS with non-Japanese devs) for future games, like they did with MGR:R.
Hypothetical like: Even though Capcom is a long rival, but given the recent state of Konami, they can partner up with Capcom for an awesome MGS revival. Konami directs and publishes, while a Capcom sub-team just develops the game using the RE engine.

MIDGETonSTILTS171711d ago

They could easily remake old MGS games with the TPP game mechanics and engine, but they won’t.

It’s a shame one of the most innovative game directors also spent most of his career establishing his ideas with a company that doesn’t take pride in innovation.

Pachinko machines work for Konami, so they will continue that until it doesn’t.

Z5011711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

"easily"
MGS1 was isometric. Not tps or fps.The first person view is what broke Twin Snakes (Gray Fox & Ocelot fights)

How would the laser sight tracking on handguns from MGS1 work using TPP game mechanics and engine for example?

MIDGETonSTILTS171709d ago

You might have to think over a few hallways for the older games, but that is being done right now for Dead Space.

And for your second point, I guess they could not have lasers?

I’m not saying it would be an “easy” copy paste job, but it could absolutely be done in a profitable manner. Or, they could just make another pachinko machine.

- Modification of the Agreement Process

These are the patch notes that are accessible on the PS4. The update has been reported to be just under 500 MB. It will be available to download on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. Just don’t expect to find any new content or a patch to upgrade the game for the PS5. There is no such change included in this update.

DarXyde1943d ago

Konami still hasn't patched joy into MG Survive.

SlothLordPootus1943d ago

I want a Tidying Up season 2 so bad!

Orchard1943d ago

Headline had my hopes up for a next gen upgrade but... it’s Konami, I should know better.

Amplitude1942d ago

Whoa! I completely forgot Metal Gear Survive existed at all. It's like it was actually just erased. Weird. I wonder if it's actually as bad as people said it was...

Chocoburger1942d ago

I've played the game a lot. The online multi-player is good fun, but it gets repetitive quickly due to the lack of maps. For a game with micro-trash-actions, there is no excuse for the low number of maps to play in.

The single player on the other hand is awful. It's just nothing but grindy filler. Nothing special, interesting, or memorable happens. One plot twist that was okay, but not worth playing the game for.

The issue is that you must play lots of single mode player in order to improve for the multi-player mode, since your character progress is linked together.

Most people who hate the game never played it, much less experienced the thrills of 4 player online cooperational play. But at the same time, the game is an easy skip.

There are many games worse than Metal Gear: Survive released each year, but also there are many games better released each year as well.
