Well no kidding that engine was optimized for the cell.

Greywulf6186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

Honest question here. Because my jaw is honestly on the ground at the level of ignorance.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is one of the most advanced game engines ever made for a gaming console. The only thing to improve on is to make the game stream, but unfortunately for the 360, No games have been shown to stream with a heavy graphical loads without chugging or using loading gimmicks like elevators/hallways. And multiplats have a uphill battle since streaming for 2 specifications, which includes 1 unit without a hard drive, is a tall order.

Let me guess, A.I/brown was no problem for the Gears of War audience right?

Pretending Metal Gear Solid 4's engine isn't remarkable is one thing, but then pretending that the color has anything to do with the engine is another.

Thats just, sad.

edit:

Nevermind, you've clearly never played MGS4. Each Act had its own color harmony. the opening act was brown. Hell an entire part of the game is white. Yet, you're all dying to play Metal Gear.

And in all fairness, this proves that the 360 can't run PS3 engines. but the PS3 can run 360 exclusive engines perfectly fine, sure with aliased edge here, and a rough texture there. But runs it never the less. Not sure why you guys aren't catching onto that. They have a complete engine working on a ps3, which created one of the worlds most graphically advanced engines..

That wont run on the 360. This throws all the multiplatform comparisons out the window with the simple choice of konami deciding its more cost effective to not try to get the Year old MGS4 engine running on a 360. But that a middleware solution will be better. Where as other developers easily PORT 360 engines to the PS3.

MGS4's engine can't run on the 360. Fact.

MGS4 looks better than any game out.

DevastationEve6186d ago

not a credible source anyway, but...come on! that's to be expected.

kojima optimized the hell outta the engine in place for mgs4 on ps3. but the very same can be done xbox 360, you guys are SO way in over your heads. a game engine is a suite of code, that's all. kojima and his programmers worked with ps3 to get the best possible results. the same thing that EVERY dev does when they build a game, it's just part of the process.

the engine they build for MGS Rising is going to be different. ps3 and x360 are different machines.

poopsack6186d ago

360 cant run this game, go stick the bluray dics in the dvd drive, see if it plays, cause it cant.

Tony P6186d ago

Here we go again.

"Another reason MGS:R will suck."

Because they're developing a multiplat engine to run a multiplat game instead of forcing an engine developed specifically for one console on every other platform. Yes, that sounds like devs planning to make a crap game.

Graphical downgrade confirmed =(

blackpanther256186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

Go and watch gameplay videos in HD on youtube. Nobody gotta show you Sh!t. If you really want to know if the game looks good then you will check it up yourself cause there is a lot of in-game pics at neogaf

Here you go have fun looking through 20 something pages of in-game pics. I don't have time to be going through all those photos to show to someone who won't open his eyes to look

Sarcasm6186d ago

lol, it's "BULL SHOTS" not "Bullet Shots"

phosphor1126186d ago

Those aren't Bull Shots! Those are all in game. The game features 4xAA making the game look smooth. Also, graphics aren't the only reason why MGS4 wouldn't work on the 360. That game has a really powerful AI, hundreds of textures to become camouflage to, a large sound track, lots of high quality dialogue and sound effects (7.1), and over 70 high quality weapon models.

Cut-scenes don't take up that much space. It's only scripting since its all done in real time/in-engine, not pre-rendered. That's why cut-scenes will fade into gameplay with no graphical change. Play the full game in 1080p, and you will be amazed at the audio/visual and technical fidelity. It's unmatched.

Homicide6186d ago

Tekken 6's engine was also optimized for the cell, but it's coming to 360 :)

gintoki7776186d ago

those aint no bullet shots thats how the game is

gintoki7776186d ago

also he is going to be working more deeply on the ps3 VERSIOn there was an article today stating that when discussing peace walker.

Rob0g0rilla6186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

Well, I'll tell you this. If you played the game, then you wouldn't be requesting non "bullet shots", lol.

Besides, how can you determine if [enter game here] can run on [enter console here] by looking at pictures? That doesn't make much sense, especially if you haven't played the game. You can't determine that by pictures.

And MGS4 looks exactly like those pictures. It looks better in motion, and the in-game cutscenes look fantastic. Overall the game is very polished but I don't expect you to know that since you haven't played it.

CWMR6186d ago

MGS4 was a good looking game but nowehere near as good as Ps3 fanboys claim. There are lots of games that look just as good: Resident Evil 5, Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock and Uncharted to name a few.

I am glad that they are building a new engine. Metal Gear Solid Rising will probably look better than MGS4 and it will look better on the 360 than on the PS3.

theEnemy6186d ago

haven't played MGS4, so you don't know sh1t.

IaMs126186d ago

i still think its freaking hilarious how everyone is now dissing this game, but before was all hoping and wanting it to be a Raiden game. Now that it is, oh and on Xbox, they hate it. Grow up!

kazan6186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

dude i really feel sorry for you and i never did for anyone on this site before LOL, you'er so desperate ,, go play the game and see for your self and stop whining..

Qui-Gon Jim6186d ago

So you say "no bullet shots," then you say "bullet shots look smooth and have clean edges." So if it looks as good as MGS4 actually looks, you will call it a "bullet shot" and if it looks bad, then you will say it's proof that MGS4 doesn't look good. That's quite the trap you've laid there.

Jaces6186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

Yeeeaahh....cause last time I played the mechanics and AI was just horrendous.

Tell me you at least played the damn game, probably not but its good to know that your comments can't be taken seriously and only offer up a good laugh and then we move on...

blackpanther256186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

that pic is funny as hell.....you know some people have too much time on their hands lol. That was a little surprise for MGSR but he didn't look at all the pics. But you gotta admit that is one fine IN-GAME a$$ lmao you can't blame them for appreciating it. but the chicken.....hey what can i say.....there are 14 pages of pics taken by people it was just an example of just typing mgs4 into google. There are better pics there, but why would i waste my time adding links

Edit: +bub for catching that

Anyone seen the peace Walker trailer recently? a 5 flashes on screen in the beginning. then at the end a number count up 1-2-3-4-5 then the letter "e"

MGS5 is peace walker??
MGS5 @ E3 2010 PS3 exclusive? (just because this is in the PSP exclusive trailer)

Or does anyone know the real meaning???

Game13a13y6186d ago

was anyone actually surprised by the fact that the MGS 4 engine could not be handled by the lower performance/outdated/last-gen hardware 360?

cereal_killa6186d ago

And what game is that? your NOT GETTING MGS4 your getting a spin off game that even Kojima could care less about M$ thew there big fat cheque book at Konami and begged for a Metal Gear game Kojima probablly said "Fruck No Solrid Snake will stay on the PSfree My MGS bteam will make a spin off game that has Raiden".

7ero H3LL6186d ago

i'm wondering why few are considering the "what if" what if it does look better, since there's no pic of what it looks like no one can say that it won't.

i think we need to be down to earth here, it's getting to the point where we can't even hash the possibilities.

if konami can make a psp game look good then what makes people think that they can't make this mgsr game look beautiful.

my eyes were wide open when i saw konami's "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow" which is a multiplat.

taco_tom2376186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

wtf i never said that mgs4 was going to the 360........im talking about mgs rising and i got mgs4 the day it came out.
why would u say im not getting mgs4???

edit: u were assuming that i was a 360 fanboy lmfao!!!!!!!

Bathyj6186d ago

Dont like brown games, dont like green games.

Man the more you idiots talk the more I'm sure I'm on the right side.

And WTF is a bullet shot? You just made that up you jerk. They're BULLSHOTS !

ThanatosDMC6186d ago

Just FYI, it's called BULLSHOTS... not bullet shots.

Read what Sarcasm wrote.

Also, MGS4 actually looks smooth and clean. I guess, i could see why you think it's fake since it's too good to be true. You should play the game and see the epicness of it all.

Rex vs Ray was the best fight... eerr... Solid vs Liquid Ocelot... err... nvm too many great moments in that game.

soxfan20056186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

@1.3

Congratulations. With your comment, you have officialy dragged fanboyism to a new low. MGSR will be a MAJOR multi-platform release - which includes PS3. Yet you are hoping it fails - therefore actually hoping a major game for YOUR console fails solely because a good MGS game on PS3 would also mean a good MGS game on 360, and that is just a repulsive thought to you and the 51 people who agreed with you. You and your kind apparently feel that the PS3's lineup is not strong enough to stand on it's own merits vs. the 360's lineup, so you have to try desperately to disparage the 360's games and convince other morons that a 360 MGS is simply incapable of being a great game.

I believe the saying is "cut off your nose to spite your face".

It's kinda funny too that you seem to hate the 360, yet 90% of your comments are in 360 threads. You seem conflicted. Ever see "American Beauty"? Chris Cooper's character? That's who you remind me of - a person who spews hate speech about something in order to hide that fact that he secretly likes it, and is just too repressed to admit it. Or is the PS3 just not worth your time to post about?

thesummerofgeorge6186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

You are such a clown. Honestly, saying MGS4's gameplay and AI need tightening... You either have never played it, or you're a raging flaming fanboy, or both, cause MGS4 is about as tight as it gets.

donator6186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

Half of these idiotic comments belong in the open zone, yet as I type this, there are only 4 comments in the open zone and 123 in the gamer zone. N4G is awesome isn't it?

It's time for N4G to let users vote to permanently keep some people in the open zone. Screw this bubbles bullshit.

Gun_Senshi6186d ago

He never played MGS4

Downtown boogey6185d ago

MGS4 obviosuly supported very high-res textures and advanced lighting, especially HDR. It was opted for high realism so maybe that's not what they're looking for for MGS:R.

RumbleFish6185d ago

[QUOTE]tighten up the gameplay mechanics and the AI.[/QOUTE]

It is impossble that you ever touched that game. STFU!

All-36185d ago

Says you... but not according to Kojima:

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

Hideo Kojima says the only reason that Metal Gear Solid 4 is debuting on PlayStation 3 is that he likes to be first with everything, and that the last year's focus on MGS3 meant Kojima Productions didn't have any time to get to grips with Xbox 360. Actually, he says, it could quite happily work on Microsoft's system.

When asked whether MGS4 could work on 360 during a recent 1up interview, he said: "Yes, that's technically possible." It's not that he doesn't like Xbox 360, see, he just doesn't want to do things second. So he's a bit like those kids who "hate" bands because their mates found out about them first.

"Kojima Productions has this philosophy that we want to be the first in everything regarding new technology. So after we finished MGS3, the option was to work on the PS3 to try all the new things for Metal Gear Solid 4. The only reason for this is I'm the kind of person who wants to be the first person on the moon, and don't want to be asking 'what the moon was like?' from other people." (Shh, don't tell him.)

---

And in all fairness, this proves that the 360 can't run PS3 engines?

Says you, but according to Kojima Productions:

Metal Gear Solid: Rising won’t be using the same engine as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Instead, Kojima Productions is building a multiplatform one from scratch to support the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

Despite some initial concerns, they assure their fans that the multiplatform development won’t compromise the game in their latest podcast.

In fact, Kojima Productions even promise that Metal Gear Solid: Rising will end up looking better than Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

So the 360 can and will run a multiplatform Game Engine that will run a game that looks better than MGS4 according to the developers of MGS: Rising and not someone posting in this site.

Just listen to the podcast:

http://www.konami.jp/kojima...

1) Kojima Productions will not compromise on anything, for any system.

2) MGS: Rising will be fully maximized for whatever platform its on.

3) MGS: Rising will be a game that pushes beyond anything you've seen on any of the platforms.

4) MGS: Rising a major project. Kojima Productions are aiming for higher graphics than MGS4. The graphics will be not be the same as MGS4's, it is going to be even better.

5) MGS: Peace Walker is a major and official MGS game, similar in scope to home console versions, and will feature a type of gameplay can't really be done as well - or in the same way - on either the PS3 or 360.

---

As for Kojima's involvement in MGS: Rising...

http://www.1up.com/do/newsS...

First, Hideo Kojima said that he wasn't doing anymore Metal Gear Solid after Metal Gear Solid 4. Then he said there would be more MGS, but that he would take a hands-off approach. He tried that with the upcoming MGS: Peace Walker, but it seems that didn't work out so well.

"At first, I was just going to create the overall guidelines and concepts for the project, and leave it in the hands my excellent staff. I was going to have a hand in the project as a producer, and make titles other than MGS," Kojima told Dengeki PlayStation (via GameCenterOnline).

"But, I set the game in the South American (sic) country of Costa Rica and created a story with themes about nuclear deterrence and the cold war. It looked as if it might be very confusing to young people, because of generational differences. So, in the end I finally said, "I'll do it."

In a recent issue of Famitsu, Kojima had described Peace Walker as, "The Metal Gear Solid 5 inside me," which also partly explains why he's focusing on the PlayStation Portable game.

---> Metal Gear Solid: Rising was also originally supposed to be left to his staff, but Kojima will be taking a relatively strong hand there as well.

NOTE: "It's a completely different kind of action than what has appeared in the series so far," Kojima said. "I'll be working more deeply on the project then a normal producer."

Great! MGS4 looked good but MGS Rising is going to look even better!

Cant wait to get my hands on the 360 version.

Especially when you know there has NEVER EVER been a bad MGS game (well...MGS Acid wasnt all that good but it was on PSP) and that Kojima Productions have NEVER EVER let a bad game come out of their studios.

really duh6186d ago

Ha ha ha Somebody disagreed for wanting improvements.

Kamikaze1356186d ago

You admit Acid was bad...do you know why? Because Kojima wasn't involved. He isn't involved in this game neither. He's only working on the Peace Walker.

RememberThe3576186d ago

That is not entirely true. He is producing the title, and will be heavily involved in it.

It is true that he is not directing it, but I would count this game out just yet. Besides we wont see anything else for a year, so all this speculation is pointless.

Kamikaze1356186d ago (Edited 6186d ago )

Unfortunately, he isn't. Kojima stated that Metal Gear Rising is a game that only his younger staff, or as he says it "young blood staff", will be the ones working on it. This is probably a test to see what they can dish out. By the way, he's stated this in several interviews right after E3 ended. He wanted to drill this notion, especially into the minds of the fans, so they won't expect anything like the projects he's worked on.

Kojima stated that he will have no involvement with Metal Gear Rising besides giving them the "OK" for some of the content. Believe me, after playing through MGS1-4 I'm hugely disappointed he won't be involved with the console MGS, but hey, these new guys might come up with something amazing. Only time will tell. In the meantime, at least we have Peace Walker.

RememberThe3576186d ago

When asked about Metal Gear Solid: Rising, Kojima said this, “I’ll be working more deeply on the project then a normal producer.”

http://www.gamercenteronlin...

So what exactly was wrong about my comment? He's not directing, and he says right there that he is involved in the project.

Either way, I'm not ready to just write this game off. There are plenty of great game that are made without Kojima's involvement, and until I see otherwise I'll be looking forward to more info on this title.

MUNKYPOO6186d ago

here we go again with hardware and specs bs. just let the games speak for themselves.

xodee486186d ago

I agree this game has potential no matter wat kind of game it ends up being, i really hope you were able to play MGS4 and not let the fact that it was an exclusive effect ur enjoyment/judgement of it.

STK0266185d ago

Ac!d was good, Ac!d 2 was better. The fact that some people didn't feel like learning the new system and having a more strategic approach to the game doesn't make it any worse.

Metal Gear Solid: Rising will end up looking better than Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

how is that possible? MGS4 looks beautiful

ceedubya96186d ago

By the time rising comes out, MGS4 will be at least 2 years older by then right? Games should look better after that amount of time, especially from a good development house.

TheBlackSmoke6186d ago

Well maybe this is telling us the type of game it is. If its going to look noticeably better than mgs4 yet run on a 360 then all signs point towards a linear hack and slash game.

The more stripped down a game is the more you can do in terms of polish because the console has fewer tasks to perform at the same time. This is why sandbox games like infamous or gta are no where near the graphical standard of a more linear driven game like killzone 2 or gear of war 2.

skip2mylou6185d ago

how the hell did ceeybuya get disagrees? MGS4 will be 2yrs old and games will have increased graphics by then

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.

cloganart90d ago

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

Commentby90d 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.

jjb198190d 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."

gigoran889d 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!!!!"

computeSci89d ago (Edited 89d 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-ro803d ago

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

darthv72803d 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.

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

seanpitt23803d 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!
