Matthew of SCRAWL writes "The Guns of The Patriots: 30 minute cutscenes, and "more then enough to satisfy anything that moves." Yes folks that was a Revolver Ocelot reference. Metal Gear Solid 4 is a spectacular showcase of what a developer can do on 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.
Best game ever might be stretching it. MGS1 still probably has the most impact on me but so far this yr and this gen, i really can't see a game that is better than MGS4. Its certainly the best MGS but the impact of the first one shall remain with me forever. Hiding in cardboard boxes, reading of memory cards, all that stuff was unheard of back then.
I think everyone is calling it best game ever because its so hard to imagine a game better than it but i am sure if i think back to PS2 era really hard, i can at least think of a game that comes close at least to me. Only one i can think of right now is shadow of the collosus.
i agree, MGS4 is an EPIC MASTERPIECE and should not be missed!
daaaamn straight. Okay that meta score has been 9.6 15 10's ago when is it hitting up 9.7 >_<
It most certainly is. Take in what all the reviews are saying BOTS.
PS3 just got the best game so far this generation. hahhahahahahahah
PLAY B3YOND the RRODbox
you know how everyone has been talking about video games and movies eventually merging?
MGS4 will go down in history as the 1st game to achieve this masterpiece Movie/Game/Anime hybrid.
i hope future games have cutscenes like MGS4's, makes for better Single Player experience. and online Multiplayer and co-op are also a must IMO
