Support NeoGAF

[EverydayBeast]

Metal gear online was a gift and changed my life forever, sure Konami id servers sucked but the money you’re spending and there’s no online multiplayer experience?

 

[deeptech]

80 eurobux are a steal, it's a like for like remake, nothing new, not a single thing redone, greedisgood.

I will happily pre-order this game and I haven't pre-ordered a game since MGS V.

I'm sick and tired of garbage soulless remakes of classic games. Resident Evils (excluding the 1st game from 1996 and 2002), Dead Rising, Silent Hill 2, Final Fantasy VII, Dead Space, etc etc. I'm sick of them censoring fun and promoting their modern world political agendas while using these masterpiece works of art as a vessel for their propaganda.

In a sea of shitty soulless remake darkness, this game stands alone as a shining light of hope that game studios can still release a remake that is a monument to all the things that made the original good while improving on it visually and perhaps mechanically. That's all that's needed from a remake.

I want to send a message to Konami (and by extension all other studios watching) that respecting the original and not censoring it is what gamers want and will happily put my money where my mouth is to get that message across. I can't wait to play this incredible game again.

The dope ass Peace Walker/Ground Zeroes SV suit being locked behind DLC sucks.

Fucking lol @ 80 for a 1:1 remake. I want to support this just because it's Metal Gear, but this is bullshit.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I really wish they would've included the MGS1 sneaking suit (it's so iconic, my absolute favorite) or even the sneaking suit from MGS V (which looks a lot like the iconic MGS1 suit). It would be badass and it's certainly not more absurd than Gold Snake or Tux Snake.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

It's not earlier. It's the day it comes out. The rest get it later. It's marketing speak.

In that case, you're not paying extra to play it early, you're getting a discount to wait a couple days. Sounds good to me.

A discount down to the RRP?... ok.

 

[amigastar]

No advanced access for the game? Good.

 

[Sybrix]

Do we know yet if this is coming with Metal Gear Online?

 

[Metnut]

Loved MGS 1 and 2 back in the day. Took a near decade long break from gaming and never played MGS 3 or 4. Tried MGS 5 and didn’t really like it.

This should probably be up my alley if it’s a good port/remake right? How is MGS3 generally thought of compared to the first 2?

GOATED METAL GEAR GAME

What a thrill
With darkness and silence through the night
What a thrill
I'm searching and I'll melt into you
What a fear in my heart
But you're so supreme

I give my life
Not for honor, but for you (snake eater)
In my time, there'll be no one else
Crime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater)
I'm still in a dream, snake eater

Time dilation, Snake...it's one of FOXHOUND's most terrible technological advances. In 1984, DARPA created a system that bends the fabric of space-time and allows a person to be molecularly reassembled in a different time. Like 2005. NO ROOM FOR HIDEO. TEAM REAL.

Confirmed developer.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Eve got a downgrade but the Boss got a upgrade so it's balanced out.

There is

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Whats the point of preordering a game digitally??

 

[AtomicStarving]

Finished MGSV 2X, +500 HOURS. Cant wait for this.

 

[Windle Poons]

Think I'll wait - it's not going to sell out is it?

And like fuck will I be awake at midnight when it unlocks either.

 

[Digity]

Are the additional suits minus the white tux actually locked behind a paywall?

Nevermind, it comes with the tactical edition at no extra cost.

 

[Gorgon]

Whats the point of preordering a game digitally??

In some cases it does make sense. For example, I was going to buy Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 day one. Buying it a few days in advance gave me access to some extra content in the form of a quest and equipment, for exactly the same price. But if you are not planning on buying day one then yes, pre-ordering is idiotic, specially if, unlike with Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, there are no extensive previews of gameplay during the preceeding month by lots of different people.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Confirmed developer.

Yes, but I work with BlueBox.

 

[Kerotan]

I really wish they would've included the MGS1 sneaking suit (it's so iconic, my absolute favorite) or even the sneaking suit from MGS V (which looks a lot like the iconic MGS1 suit). It would be badass and it's certainly not more absurd than Gold Snake or Tux Snake.

Is it possible it could be still included in the base game?

At least the one you actually get in MGS 3 looks so good. It's my favorite by far.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I really doubt it. I could see them potentially selling it separately as DLC, though.

 

[rubik's dude]

3 is in the same league as 1 and 2. 4 has the weakest gameplay, but the largest emphasis on story. 5 has the best gameplay, but the weakest story.

If you liked 1 and 2, you'll like 3.

Yeah, including the MGS1 Sneaking Suit would be an easy way to take another few bucks off of my wallet.

 

[A.Romero]

I preordered the physical edition from Amazon UK last June for 75 pounds. It's now 90 pounds but Amazon is respecting the price. It blows my mind that a digital copy could be more expensive than a physical one on launch.

I think Deluxe physical is worth paying more because of the steelbox but I'd never pay for a Deluxe digital edition just for some skins and playing a bit early... My copy will arrive by September 4th, I have no problem waiting a bit to save some money.

 

[yogaflame]

I already played this game on Ps2 in the past, but I will buy it again, this remake for my ps5. It looks impressive.

 

[RagnarokIV]

It is not.

They have been asked about MGO on their podcast show thing however.

You can currently play both iterations of MGO on PC or PS3 via savemgo and mgo2pc
