Enhanced PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system texture rendering mode

[cognititivemonster]

No, it's 640p?  That I did not know.

Who gives a shit how it looks?  Let's see how it plays!!  Unfortunately, I'll stop playing the damn thing if story become stupid... which I'm sure it will.

[drohne]

the screens in the op have been scaled. afaik the actual game runs at 1280x720.

[Himu]

game of the fucking year*

*- that isn't GTA4

[Himu]

is there any 360 exclusive game this year nearly as good as MGS4?

year of ps3 pissing on 360's face. the best 360 games this year are on xbla in fact, the best 360 game this year is already out! Lost odyssey! smh

[AdmiralViscen]

 :'(

[Himu]

MGS3 has bad gameplay? lmao This thread is a laugh riot. You guys must be shitting me. It has the BEST MGS gameplay. It's an actual stealth game!

[Himu]

game of the fucking year*

*- that isn't GTA4, Gears 2, Fallout 3, Mercs 2, WoW: Lynch King, Vegas 3, GH4, Bionic Commando, that don king game, anything coming out in 2008 really(Yes, even Killzone 2).

Bunch of shitty shooters only fegs care about. Fallout 3, made by Bethesda who has yet to make a competent game. And fuckign WoW. MMORPGS suck.

[drohne]

actually the best 360 games have been rejected from xbla, and are only seeing retail release in japan :'(

borys: konami released the shots in a lower resolution -- some sites just published them, jeux france scaled them up

Truth! MS

failing consoles left and right
shitty online service where i can't change my credit card info without calling them

No, I'll tell you the score: the best games this year are all coming out on portables and not consoles. This is the first time I've actually had the gall to admit a portable line up is better than the console line up.

next gen
over hyped need for next gen
psp and ds
ps2

[drohne]

bangaioh spirits is the shit. but i'm not really looking forward to any other portable games. maybe dodgeball.

[Himu]

[Himu]

Awesome gaming > shitty shooters

not one for strategy games eh?

[drohne]

i used to love turn-based strategy games, but i don't have the patience for them anymore. i think the last one i finished was advance wars 1 -- and i've probably bought a dozen since then

oh well

[Smooth Groove]

Oh gawd, MGS4 is going to suck. 

Himumu's seal of approval is the kiss of death for a game.   

[Himu]

Huh? I loved every Metal Gear game I have played

suck my dick xfag. I'll put trademarks in your fucking eyes.

[Himu]

METAL GEAR!!!

I want a Psycho mantics standee

[Smooth Groove]

I'm one hundred percent TOTALLY FUCKING GAY for Metal Gear, despite my trolls.  I even have two Snake kubricks on my desk. 

Even though Himu likes it?  I used to think that MGS4 was a major GOTY candidate too. 

[Himu]

you don't even like metal gear. get off the bandwagon dick rider

[Himu]

METAL GEAR

Who cares, Himu?  Haven't you seen enough from MGS4 to know that it'll be awesome?

[Himu]

that player sucked

Metal Gear

[Powerslave]

Metal Gear Solid has been kinda terrible since the original. They never matched the coolness of that game. Instead Kojima adapted for a Hollywood style shitgame with bad voiceacting and movie-trailer music. Everything is too over the top. And there is no sense of isolation, cold and scary ness like the original anymore. I also don't like the graphic style for 2 and 3. It's too clean and smooth, everything. It simply....sucks.

Scary ness? MGS3 is nothing but isolation considering you rarely are forced to use codec. I'd say MGS3 is the LEAST over the top MGS. The only real over the top MGS is 2. That game was about nothing BUT the cheese.

The bosses were pretty over the top in MGS3. Even more than MGS2.

[y2kev]

Are we really going to quantify "over the top ness" in comparing a fat man on rollerskates, an immortal gay vampire, someone who can't die with a photosynthesizing old man, an astronaut in a fire suit, and someone made of bees?

[Powerslave]

Yes. What are you gonna do about it.

[T234]

game of the fucking year*

*- that isn't GTA4, Gears 2, Fallout 3, Mercs 2, WoW: Lynch King, Vegas 3, GH4, Bionic Commando, that don king game, anything coming out in 2008 really(Yes, even Killzone 2).

Bunch of shitty shooters only fegs care about. Fallout 3, made by Bethesda who has yet to make a competent game. And fuckign WoW. MMORPGS suck.

For some reason this post cracked me up. 

MGS3's bosses were over the top, but the overall mood and game wasn't. No, it was more serious than MGS1.

I tried that game and it was awful. Shit combat, horrible dialogue interface that burned my eyes into cigarette ash, ugly world, shit story, and nothing good going for it except open ended nature. an rpg needs a lil than that to be remotely playable.

[T234]

[y2kev]

Morrowind is a fucking broken game that you have to mod the SHIT out of to get functional.

But I love it.

[T234]

I WORE OUT THREE FUCKING XBOX 1 DVD DRIVES PLAYING IT

MGS3 is more realistic in that Snake didn't have so many heart to heart chats with the boss characters.  It's almost comical in MGS1 how Snake became buddies with the bosses as they engage in fatal combat.

And he should have written "old man who runs at the speed of light"

[MCD]

What resolution does MGS4 run at, and what kind of audio does it support?

Metal Gear Solid 4 has been certified for Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, and the game appeared to run at 720p. 7.1 surround sound has not been confirmed yet, and whether the game will run at 1080p or not is still a closely guarded secret.

How are the visuals? Are there any screen tearing or frame rate drop issues? What about the animation -- did everything seem fluid?

Animation of everything, from Snake to the actions of the PMCs to the evasion of Gekkos and FROG soldiers are incredibly fluid and slick. For the most part, what we've seen ran at a stable 60 frames a second. There were only a few instances in which the framerate dipped for a second or two, but that was typically caused by large onscreen explosions coupled with screen effects (such as dirt being kicked up on the camera lens).

As for visual fidelity, the trailers that have been released for the game are just a brief indication of what the game truly looks like. The title looks much sharper than trailers or screenshots show.

I forgot no one! I used groups of threez

[Smooth Groove]

IGN is probably wrong about the framerate.  They've mistakenly thought that 30fps was 60fps before.  It's nice to know that there's no slowdown though.  The slowdown in MGS3 was almost unberable sometimes. 

[Bloodwake]

It's time to derail this thread with MGS4 related xfag arguments

"Goddamn this game looks like shit. Underhype total. Fucking looks horrible" (posts low res screenshots)
"It's coming out for 360 anyways" (Jesus fucking Christ. It takes up an entire 50 GB Blu-Ray disc for fucks sake. Seriously, it might be, but who would want to play a more than 5 disc game? Fuck that shit.)
"MGS just fucking sucks and is overrated" (well, that's just basic elitism)
"MGS has horrible voice acting" (so does most games. Sorry, but I haven't played one video game that has had Academy Award winning acting in it.)
"MGS's plot is fucking confusing" (well, you are right. But then again, it makes it more interesting for most people and give it replay value so you can figure out exactly what the fuck is going on, exactly like movies with an intricate plot)


Back on topic now: I've been continually happy with every fucking thing I've seen about this game, and I'm ready to play it. It's going to be awesome, unless, well, you like to bitch about how horrible it is because you masturbate to your 360 or you are too elitist. And by too elitist, I mean "God damn everything sucks except obscure poorly reviewed game that most people can't stand to play" elitist.

[Powerslave]

I think FF12 has Academy Award winning voice acting. It seriously impressed me, and I'm usually sceptical about VG VA.

Jesus fucking Christ. It takes up an entire 50 GB Blu-Ray disc for fucks sake. Seriously, it might be, but who would want to play a more than 5 disc game? Fuck that shit.

i wonder what the cost is to generate 50 gig worth of game content?

80 million dollars?
