Solid Snake is back to perform his final mission in Konami's highly anticipated stealth action title, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 3.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Game creator Hideo Kojima is and probably will always be best-known for his creation and stewardship of the Metal Gear series at Konami, which since his departure has been more-or-less on permanent hiatus (don't mention Survive). In his almost three decades these games evolved to the point where they predicted certain problems of the information age (MGS 2), took aim at contemporary topics like Guantanamo Bay (MGS: Ground Zeroes), and ended on a profound sense of sadness about our species' inability to break the cycles of global conflict (MGS V).
It's not clear what sparked this reflection, but Kojima's been thinking about Metal Gear Solid 4, an entry that was (and unfortunately still remains) a PlayStation 3 exclusive. In that entry the player controls an aged Solid Snake in the year 2014, caught up in a civil war being fought between Private Military Companies (PMCs).
He was always ahead with this series. MSG1 taught me about the importance of passing on our genes into future generations but in a responsible way, for they are bound to what we experienced in our lifetime. Sons of liberty taught me about global control and simulation runs to test society in a grand scale, the importance and dangers of control of information. MGS3 taught me about patriotism and how that can blind you into doing things you never would have otherwise, all for the sake of politicians who only see you as another pawn in their grand scheme of things. MSG4 taught me war is inevitable and always orchestrated because it's great for the economy. Soon simulation systems will start dictating who goes to war and why, all run through proxies. Privatization of military company are already here. We already started to see how a small group of elites dictates everything that happens. Nothing is done, nothing happens without strings being pulled.
If it wasn't for the retconning of how FOXDIE works, including clunky scenes with Naomi and Liquid, MGS4 would be a perfect game. There are so many gameplay options. It felt like us PS3 owners got something truly unique and special.
Buh buh cut scene and buh buh insta.. buh buh
Best Game anyone has played this generation
period
edit:
Just aimed at the tiny few that have ridiculous beefs with the title considering what it is. Its like playing an RPG and complaining that there isn't enough platforming. Just too bad.
Xplay did hit something on the head.!!!!!!!!
The long cut scenes really do replace the CODEC crap. Remember how long that used to be? Bravo Xplay. very good point. I forgot all about how long those were..
I applaud them for praising it and going beyong saying its great and saying how fantastic it is.... but SERIOUSLY... if this game was one the Xbox 360... they would be declaring one of the Greatest games of All Time and showing the game for what it REALLY is.
Still a good review, but it doesn't do MGS4 justice. The game is just MASSIVE in scale, detail and entertainment. There really is nothing out there close to MGS4.
i've just completed the game. I still can't believe how good is this game. Best game of all time for me. And probably for alot of guys.
and I was surprised at the review. That it wasn't all complaints. They said the cutscenes were up to 60mins in length with loading between the acts, but it didn't take away from the game.
x-play usually dislike mgs games gave MGS3,mgs2 a 4 before subsistence and substance. Too bad I can't see that fanboy kevin peirra jaw on the ground from seeing all these good reviews and new happy ps3 gamers but I got rid of g4tv from my cable line up :P
EDIT: I lost a bubble 0.o...fanboys/fangirls crack me up. Im not the type to "beg" for bubbles but I would appreciate it if you guys agree with my comment and like to hear more from me help me back up:)
