The original camera isn't that bad. Its similar to MGS2 and you can move it a little bit.

I'm a staunch Nintendo advocate, and I played the 3DS version, but I'd still say the PS2 version would likely be the better option. You get more than three baddies on your screen in the 3DS version, a n d. i. t. s. t. a. r. t. s. s. l. o. w. i. n. g. d. o. w. n.

PS2 every day of the week. If you can, play Subsistence.

I was wondering about this. I had no issue with the fixed cameras in the earlier games, why is it so despised in MGS3?

I remember how impressive(compared to previous Nintendo handhelds) the 3DS tech demo looked at the time , night and day difference with the final version

That's really cool and I have never seen it. I am going to see if i can find that tech demo to experience it in 3D.

MGS3 wasn't designed with crouch walk so I wonder if it makes it too easy. I haven't played the 3DS version. I liked the slow sneaking with d-pad in the original.

Crouch mode is pretty cool modded in on pc.

On the 3DS, I heard the 3D effect gets disabled after big boss loses his eye. That’s a pretty funny detail and probably the entire reason the port exists.

That's all you really need.

3Ds version can not even be played at moderately high level, because its missing fundamental mechanics.
People say it plays better because it has over the shoulder aim, but it actually plays worse because of it. It's a clunky mess. I mean, unless you are the most casual of the casuals and have zero abilities to adapt to any kind of non-standard gameplay mechanics.

MGS 1 to 3 are not your standard TPS games, never were, never attempted to be, and you get the absolute best experience when you play them as they were designed to be played in the first place.

Nobody is playing this or anything else at a high level for their first time through though.

Hot take: PS2 Subsistence on emulator. Crank that internal resolution, drop in some post-processing filters if you like and you’ll have a great time

The HD version on 360/PS3 ? Is it enhanced for the XSX ? I have it but haven't launched it on XSX.

But no, the 3DS version no, MGS3 is certainly not a game made to be experienced on a 3 inches screen.

Subsistence. On whatever platform.
