Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots – Trophy Patch now available for download !

Well, in a perfect world, we would get an MGS1 remake with MGS4 graphics (as in the flashback), with the voicework from the original game. That would be epic.

Now that I think about it, the costs of a project like that would be a lot less than a typical new game production. You could use the engine, mo-cap, and character animations from MGS4, with only minor tweaks needed.

Oh well, it'll never happen but one can dream I guess

I'm joining you in that dream snake.

They were talking about doing that to Final Fantasy VII. I think it makes sense for videogame companies who have award winning ICON games to keep refreshing them.

I thnk they could make a great deal of profit with a minmal investment.

Great idea. Especially if it lead to a remake of MGS3, my favorite in the series.

MGS3/Subsistence definitely had the best boss fights...maybe in any game.

MGS4 finally gets the control scheme right.

My beef with both titles is the inventory management--that you actually had to assign certain items to placeholders in your quick menu. I don't like that. Particularly in MGS4 having SO many guns...it would be better if there were stacked quick menus (a la MGS2) with everything available to choose from. If nothing else, I think it would encourage the player to experiment more with different weapons more often...rather than having to commit to the same 5 or 6 all the time.

Interesting article regarding Konami's Q3 profit results and the influence of Snake (or lack thereof). Which of course begs the question that has been asked a million times lmao

And to think I thought the big question was when MGS4 would get a trophy patch.

[groundgamer]

I rate it a 10. I love this game, the best in the series. I honestly cannot find anything wrong with this game. It's just pure excellence.

According to Konami latest financial report, Metal Gear Solid has sold an additional 650,000 copies this fiscal year (April - Dec 09). This most likely tips MGS4 over 5M copies sold worldwide. Making it the highest selling PS3 exclusive and officially putting it above MGS3 (excluding re-release) in terms of copies sold.

Congratulations Kojima Productions.

PS: For those interested, GT5: Prologue is the 2nd highest selling PS3 exclusive with 4.65M copies sold worldwide.

Wow! Rightfully so as well. I love U2 but MGS4 is still miles ahead in my book. Both have great graphics, a great story, but you feel slightly more of a bad ass as Solid Snake. And the boss battles are incredible!

That's great news, not only for Kojima Productions, but for Sony as well. Especially since other games haven't or or might not come even close to that yet. *cough* Uncharted 2 *cough* I honestly don't know why that game isn't selling. Regardless, MGS4 was a great game. Good for it.

this would reignite sales..as long as there are no MGO related trophies..

[sasquatch]

I had to restart this game due to having to exchange my PS3. I started on Hard and, well.. it's not all that much harder than normal. But a better challenge at least.

If you read my one of my previous posts a couple pages back about my feelings on MGS4 you would see my view on the game compared to the previous installments of the series. I believe MGS4 is one of the best games on PS3, its in a class of its own really, but it is not the best of the series. Dedicated fans of the series will agree with me on this. I also believe that MGS3 is the best game of the series.

Different tastes is what makes the world go round.

Well, a PC-fan... I wouldn't use as in today's terms with "fanboyism" and stuff.
Obviously I have a PS3, and I really dislike the "grouping" that came out of the different platforms.
I couldn't give a rats azz about the Xbox honestly though, it's a PC in a more sellable console-form.
But still, I basically don't like all the arguing and stuff that came from it, cause we're talking about GAMES here. lol
But yes, ever since the mid-90s or so I have been using the PC as my main platform for games.
Then eventually I also got a PS2 for the heck of it and of course now a PS3.
Before that I had a "NES" and a "Genesis", but that was a whole different type of "gaming".

The thing is... some types of games just fit better on a console,
or make that a platform with a gamepad-controller.
And other games just fit better on a PC, obviously the platform with a mouse.
Also, I intentionally do not mention the keyboard, because I am NOT a fan of the keyboard.
And I believe there will also be some alternative for the mouse at some point cause it's not flawless either.
However, it does beat the heck out of the (right) analog stick if you know what I mean.

I think that 3rd-person-games are nice for consoles though,
better than the 1st-person shooters and all.
But they're not... issue-less either, I've even seen complaints about 'Uncharted 2'.
Being that the controls are awkward in smaller spaces in the environment.
And I definitely noticed it in the Demo feeling like a barrier in the controls over the game.

Also, what I meant for "MGS4" specifically is, the game itself just doesn't have a good feel.
The first 3rd-person-game I did get a good feel for with the gamepad is 'Uncharted'.
The first 1st-person-game I got a good feel for with the gamepad is 'Mirror's Edge'.
I guess that's mainly because it doesn't require aiming a gun or that much combat.
But still, it works well and I really believe it's because of the way they program it.
Funny though, that DICE's "Bad Company" doesn't feel as good, but yeah...
Maybe different creators of the company?...

I played this game on Hard and got to the end with over $100k and the feeling that "Hard" was God of War's "Normal".

Now I have to fight Liquid 3 f'ing times?? Give me a f'ng break with this game. I'm done. I don't care if I finish it, it's going up on ebay.

I don't have a problem with games that are challenging. I play God of War II on Hard and enjoy figuring out how to defeat the bosses after dying 20 times first.

But this is just pure stupidity. I don't have time to try and reserve all of my health for 3 matches with Liquid.

"Raaaahhh!" Now i'm Luquid Ocelot.

"Raaahhhh!!"" Now I'm Liquid the 3rd.

"Raaahhhhh!!" now my controller is embedded in my 46" LCD TV where liquid's face once was.

I don't remember it being that hard but I think I played it normal. Anyway, can't you switch the difficulty back to normal in options? I think you owe it to yourself to at least finish the game. There is a huge scene in the end that you just have to watch.

[sasquatch]

yeah I know, I'll either figure it out or switch back to normal if i can. Last thing I want to do is replay the whole entire game LOL.

I'll get back to it. Just ticks me off a little

I'm sorry to say this but you just suck. I beat the game on hard and faced Liquid and had no problems.

Well you can move in and beat that crawling part for me TL my fingers almost fell off doing that, hardest part of any game I've played at least for me


But this is a great game even if you had to fight him 8 times

I just wish I could have been the Ninja (how they designed him and gave him his skills since mgs1 is awesome!) only time I got to was in VR missions for ps1 and that had a timer on it lol

I gotta tell you man...I'm an old button masher from the NES Track N Field days, and that part is B R U T A L.

You could give yourself a condition playing that part over and over.

[Petra_Kalbrain]

Damn... I thought that the thread resurrection might have something to do with more "potential trophies" news.
