MGS has Snake enough said.

Joule5867d ago

MGS4 was so epic.

the ending of MGS4 pwns all of SC:C.

xTruthx5867d ago

MGS4 :/

BTW: Where are the SC reviews ? only 2 and the game is about to release ? wth

MexicanAppleThief5866d ago

MGS4 without a doubt. There's so much you can do in that game, epic game right from the start to the ending.

B3ST G4M3 EV4R!!!

ChozenWoan5865d ago

Octo-Camo Suit FTMFW!!!

Too bad only one of these two games is an exclusive.

piroh5865d ago

i think competition hasn't enough exclusives
anyway, MGS4 is the King of Videogames

thief5865d ago

They basically threw in the towel on every count.
Stealth gameplay? Its closer to Halo than MGS, not even in the same league as MGS previously and now its so diluted its practically become an action game.
Story? A single-player you can wrap up in less than half the time of MGS 4 (that’s if you exclude the cutscenes), even the positive reviews such as IGN basically say buy this only for the multiplayer.
Graphics? So sub-par compared to MGS 4 that came out 2 years before, they actually claimed this couldn’t be done on the PS3?

Highlife5865d ago

Is this the British version of Hiphop gamer?

Army_of_Darkness5865d ago

He actually had a difficult time deciding which game had better graphics?!?! are you kidding me?!

RadientFlux5865d ago

I really didn't like Metal Gear Solid 4, but I haven't played SC:C yet so I really don't know which one is better.

Though going by the older games in both series. I would say that I would likely prefer SC:C.

For me the best game in the MGS series was MGS1. Followed by the two NES games then MGS2 and MGS3. MGS4 lost me with the over-the-top cinematics, which felt pretty campy at times.

As for the SC series. I wasn't a fan of the first 2 games but when they changed up the series by allowing you multiple ways to complete each mission. I fell in love with the series.

Corepred45865d ago

lol i already watched some guy finish the game on jtv like a couple of days ago. there are no stealth mechanics in that game. this guy must have not played it yet because he's saying splinter cell has the best stealth mechanics in any game. he must be talking about before conviction came out. SC:C looked more to me like an action game like uncharted.

Redrum0595865d ago

Good video, but I have to disagree with him on the stealth mech, the camo in mgs3 and 4 takes it all. Mgs has been around since the 80s and it takes alot more than splinter cell to defeat them, Especial scc with their new direction has no chance with mgs. Hideo has a passion and a vision that is mgs, the guys behind scc are
more into cashing in on the mass audience with their new "apealing" game.

vhero5865d ago

MGS4 story was more than 5 hours long... nuff said..

nveenio5865d ago

This kid has the same mannerisms as Hip Hop Gamer, except this kid looks like a puss.

Summary: Boy tells you his opinion on Splinter Cell vs Metal Gear Solid (He doesn't even go into details...just "I liked the graphics/gameplay/etc better in this game").

Suggestion: Don't Waste your time.

Tony-A5866d ago

Yeah, compared to the one before it....

RadientFlux5865d ago

Its a matter of taste, while the reviews for SC:C are some-what mixed at the moment. Both series have been filled with excellent games.

ps3hasnogamess5867d ago (Edited 5867d ago )

I personally think splinter cell better...

I've only played mgs 1 and 4 (still think mgs1 is one of the best games of mgs series - the mgs4 one was ...GARBAGE!)
i got bored after 20 minutes of mgs 4....it was too much shi* with he grey color and 10 hours of stuff of cut scenes like that i just didnt like it.

but my point is from a stealth perspective, splinter cell got all those cool stuff like night vision, and peaking trough keyholes....
it just makes use of darkness - which isnt the case in mgs.

Tony-A5866d ago (Edited 5866d ago )

Night Vision = MGS4
Peaking = MGS4
Use of Darkness = MGS4

MGS4 uses something called "awareness", where if they see a dead body, they become alert. If they see a sleeping guard, they wake him up. Conviction? Not so sure.

Where's the stealth in that?!

But not to worry. You won't get bored after 20 minutes of Conviction because that's pretty much the length of the whole story.

Auron5865d ago (Edited 5865d ago )

Sam definitely seems more deadly than Snake and alot more believable. I personally couldn't stand MGS4 and I prefer this new splinter cell to it and people call me crazy for that as well. Guess what folks I like what I like and you Like what you like. Awards and GOTY doesn't mean nothing if I don't like the game.

I really hate to compare these games because they are like night and day.

avengers19785865d ago

@ps3hasnogames--So your saying that you own a PS3. Good for You.
Are people really comparing MGS4 to SCC. Well SCC doesn't look any better than MGS 4. MGS4 20 hours of gameplay, SCC 5 hours of game play. MGS 4 bots have wanted for 2 years, SCC droids don't care.
Oh and MGS 4 came out what 2 years ago, and that is what xbots are comparing a brand new game on there system too. Classic.

EvilBlackCat5865d ago (Edited 5865d ago )

SIMPLE

Metal Gear is a Sci Fi action "Stealth" game while Splinter Cell is a Action Stealth game

and dont forget people that the story is a Tom Clancy Story HELLO!

Ok is all about taste but please is a Tom Clancy's story.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Those who goes METAL GEAR better than Splinter Cell are not really aware about the Splinter Cell Novels

PEOPLE those novels are NOT MANGA STYLE STORIES like those you have on METAL GEAR games.

METAL GEAR = FANTASY SCI FI

SPLINTER CEL = REAL SH1T/POSSIBLE REAL SH1T HAPPENING IN THE WORLD YOU LIVE

Let me gives you 4 excellent Movies based on Tom Clancy's Novels:
Clear and Present Danger (1994) PG-13

The Hunt for Red October(1990) PG

Patriot Games(1992) R

The Sum of All Fears(2002) PG-13

CAN METAL GEAR COMPETE WITH THAT?

THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU BASH SPLINTER CELL again.

Wrathman5865d ago

ssc ftw.

if you enjoy MGS then you have to ask yourself ..'do i like men in catsuits?'

sam fisher..real man
snake...cat suit

its that simple.im not knockin ps3 mgs lovers..but catsuit?!! plzzzzzzzz

MGS1 > MGS3 > MGS4 (but not far behind 3) > > MGS2>=MGS5 the last 2 were the wors mGS by far.....however i liked Raiden a lot

Nacho_Z3207d ago

My list is nice and neat:

1. MGS1
2. MGS2
3. MGS3
4. MGS4

Haven't played any others. 4 was the first one I didn't finish and the beginning of the gulf between how much I enjoyed playing them and how much everybody else seemed to like them.

Yui_Suzumiya3207d ago

You missed out big time because 4 was the best!

Nacho_Z3207d ago

So everyone said at the time but I played about two thirds of it and didn't enjoy much of it. I loved MGS1, it was mind blowing. Maybe I'll revisit 4 some day, pretty much done with the series now though.

burza19823207d ago

1. MGS 3
2. MGS 1
3. MGS V
You got them right :)
4. MGS 4

Gardenia3207d ago

Pretty good list. Although for me it would be

1. MGS
2. MGS 3
3. MGS 5 and MGS 2
4, MGS 4

Is The Metal Gear Solid (Snake) Franchise Still A PlayStation Exclusive?

“War has changed,” is what Solid Snake, the main character in Metal Gear Solid uttered in the opening of MGS4: Guns of The Patriots. But it’s not only “war” that has changed, apparently, the times have changed too.

Baltis5799d ago

It never was. Not really. MS2 was on Xbox. MS3 is now on the Ds3. It started in the 80's on the MSX and then the Nes. Get over it guys.

hardcore19125799d ago

The main games have. Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots.

None of the major titles appeared on other systems so the author has a point.

HighDefinition5799d ago (Edited 5799d ago )

With how much they made a point of expressing IN MGS4 that they loved the PS3, I`d expect it to atleast get another exclusive maybe MGS6. Kojima knows what`s up.

BTW, I didn`t mean to reply to you.

raztad5799d ago

MGS 2 was on PC I think.

MGS:PW is very deep and fun game guys. Dont sleep on that one.

captain-obvious5799d ago

while i do agree that the Franchise has been on allot of platforms
but you cant deny that the PS1 was the console that the franchise actually got known/popular on

Darkfocus5799d ago

it's never been a play-station exclusive franchise it's just that it's first big game appeared on PS and all the rest were on PlayStation platforms(except the remake)while the other platforms just got the odd game here and there so it's perceived as one.

BISHOP-BRASIL5799d ago

Actually, the only thing with MGS and Playstation is that everygame in the main series will be in a PS console. Even the early two games from MSX come to PS. This don't mean through MG will only appear on PS consoles and handhelds... We have seen MG in MSX, NES, GC, Xbox, PC and, soon to be, Xbox 360 and 3DS.

If they start making MGS5 - or 6, I don't if they'll consider Peace Walker the 5th or not - and announce it not coming to a PS console, then I will start to worry.

MaxXAttaxX5799d ago (Edited 5799d ago )

The rest are ports.
It's true. Just ask Kojima.

palaeomerus5799d ago

Say Hi!

And now MGS3 is headed to 3DS...

Anarki5799d ago

More of a timed exclusive

MaxXAttaxX5799d ago (Edited 5799d ago )

PlayStation is still the preferred console for Kojima. Stop trying to downplay that.
And like I said before, those are ports. Second-hand games, in a way.

And if you want the WHOLE MGS series, you can only get it with PlayStation. It's got all the games!

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5799d ago

Also the Remake, came out for Gamecube. And PC have different MGS also.

saint_john_paul_ii5799d ago

the PC got a MGS 1 and MGS 2 port

Sarcasm5799d ago

MGS has been on other consoles before.

But if you want the ENTIRE MGS experience, you just go to where it's at. On the Playstation consoles.

And MGS4 is STILL only on the PS3.

So I don't get the argument.

You want Halo? Go get an Xbox.
You want Mario? Go after the Nintendo consoles.

kewlkat0075799d ago (Edited 5799d ago )

is Mario/Halo are first party when they were created. Konami is still a 3rd-party studio so nothing surprises me anymore.

Anon73495799d ago

Cool story bro

Halo started on the mac and then went to PC. It wasn't first party when it was created.

If you didn't know that you're probably fairly new to gaming. I hope your having fun with your first gen of videogames!

kewlkat0075798d ago

by your accounts every game made starts on a PC so they cannot be first party then....lol

A game is official when it actually hits RETAIL.
Released on November 15, 2001, the Xbox version of Halo: Combat Evolved is the first Halo video game.

"Is The Metal Gear Solid (Snake) Franchise Still A PlayStation Exclusive?"

Who cares? Some insecure fanboys? Lets all get over this. The answer to that question is no btw. Like Blatis and Thge Tingler said, it has been on other platforms...

Blacktric5799d ago

Real franchise is still a PS3 exclusive. Side games are not and I'm happy with it. Every player should be able to play a MGS title. Sure they won't be as good as the real ones but it'll be better than nothing.

gtamike5799d ago

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a masterpiece

Redlogic5799d ago

but I just recently played (almost finished) MGS4. I bought it when i first got my ps3 like 2 yrs ago, i got mgs4 and mlb the show as my first two games, and I just now got around to actually playing it. I got stuck in that part in the very beginning where you gotta climb thru a busted up building, got frustrated, and didn't pick up again until last month....let me just say, MGS4 has to be one of my top 5 games of all time and I have been playin video games since baseball on Atari 2600. If anyone here can play it, do that, buy a ps3 for that game, its that good!! I can't wait to see how it ends, though i will be sad to see it end. The story is so gripping....just a fuking masterpiece.

**goes and turns on MGS4**

the Metal Gear Franchise started on the MSX.

and snakes revenge does not count as a Metal Gear Sequel.

PirateThom5799d ago

The NES port is what happens when Kojima isn't involved. Butchered port, play the MSX originals either in emulation or disc 2 of Subsistence.

Blacktric5799d ago

Nope. Metal Gear was started on MSX not Nintendo. And MSX was partially developed by Sony.

The Tingler5799d ago

What utter trash. Answer: no. Never was, never will be. Even if you ignore the original Metal Gear games on NES and MSX, Snake has been on GameCube, Xbox, Wii (in Smash Bros), and will be on 3DS. The only Metal Gear game that is so far exclusive to Playstation is MGS4.

Hell, even if we go all Sony fanboy and ignore all them like you have, and indeed that all the other MGS games were on PS1 and PS2 and NOT PS3, there's still Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on PSP - so even on current Sony consoles, Metal Gear is not exclusive to PS3.

Retard.

e-p-ayeaH5799d ago

The main MGS saga was directed in full essence by Kojima and those are PlayStation exclusives.

Sony got the REAL Metal Gear Solid games but now since the SOLID saga as conclued in MGS4... now the RISING saga will unleash a all new saga probably.

Darkfiber5799d ago

Nooooo damnit. You realize he's worked on tons of franchises, right? He's not going to announce another MGS game when Rising is right around the corner. Only Activision would do something like that.

Codeman4205799d ago

although there are many versions of the MGS games. the story that started on the MSX and went to the PS# is still exclusive to the PS brand. ya there was MGS2 on the xbox but it never really took off like it did on the PS.thats why you have MGSR on the 360/PS3 because its a totally new story that has nothing to do with Snake and his story.
