I played it at TGS, it was pretty okay I guess, not that I'd play it over the 10,000 other 360 shooters available but still

I pre-ordered but didn't get the beta key because they were sold out of MGS Saga discs at my local Gamestop.  :'(

I preordered the LE at Gamestop back in early March, but the store never came through with a MGS Saga disc. Luckily, the Gamecrazy I preordered at (but won't pick up) gave me a MGS Saga disc.

downloading the 1.01 update for the beta.  Can't wait for it to finish so I can look at pretty menu screens for the next few days. :)

This Konami ID bullshit is a bigger hassle than Nintendo WFC.

Which ID required numbers for the password?   I hope it wasn't game ID, because I don't remember what I put and the site's down (and probably will be for a while.)

Game-wise, it's pretty close to the original vision: you sneak into the battlefield and can choose whether to do a stealth game or interfere with the battle more directly. But the graphic, side things like motion-blending and the size of the map, totally was not accomplished to my original vision - to my satisfaction.

When we first showed the game engine at TGS, the staff were really proud and happy. PS3 was a dream machine, y'know, and we were going to work on this and that - and we had so many ideas. But when we actually started developing the game, we realized there were a lot of restrictions and so it turned out how you see it today. The original vision was to go ten steps further, the reality was just one step, which isn't to say we didn't progress.

I remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create something revolutionary, but in reality we couldn't really do that because of the CPU. We're using the Cell engine to its limit., actually. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the PS3 machine, it's just that we weren't really aware of what the full-spec PS3 offered - we were creating something we couldn't entirely see.

hopefully his 360 project will be better

Big props to Kojima-san for telling it like it is.  Some respect for Calcifier also for finally seeing the truth.

Gaf this, papangi.

Because it's not just the 5000 this month?  PS3 is still trailing the 360 by a huge margin in the US.

doesn't matter as much as dominating a specific region.  GC's software support was shit, especially in the US, because it was 2nd worldwide but less popular than the Xbox in NA and less popular than the PS2 everywhere else.

Post by: AdmiralViscen on April 18, 2008, 02:28:57 PM
Ya

'cept it was third worldwide. Not sure when XBox overtook it though.


No hardware sales are really important anymore, PS3 is selling enough to not be a lame duck and 360 has a 7M unit lead and moves software at a ridiculous rate. Dev support isn't changing at this point.

Post by: Smooth Groove on April 18, 2008, 02:35:31 PM
You sure GC was only third?  I've read many times on GAF that it was 2nd.  I know that there're lots of bullshitters there but I don't remember anyone arguing about that.

XBox beat it like 24M to 22M.
