Gamernode writes: "Metal Gear Solid 4 (MGS4) is a highly detailed game truly best viewed as a whole. While it's necessary to nitpick the convoluted story and over-dramatic voice acting in order to progress the medium, doing so for too long may significantly and unnecessarily detract from the overall, and in this case, highly polished product.
On the "making of" disc included with the limited edition version only available at GameStop and with the Gun Metal PS3, series creator Hideo Kojima says, "There are certain things you need to pass on in life but the theme of this game is 'sense,' or that which you can't pass on. A person's will and way of life is symbolized by Snake continuing to fight despite his old age, and also myself retuning to direct the game."
Regardless, right now it's one of the best-looking, engaging, and emotionally driven experiences, with the gameplay to match, on the PS3 or any console."
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.
This game is hot.
Seriously... what is it? Over 60 Perfect scores???
Karma's a biotch huh? It's just so funny that PS3 get's a game that's THIS good lol
PS3 FTMFW
Another perfect score...
i finished this game a couple days ago before the pyro updates hit the PC...and i have to say its just a sliver away from my fav game ever...slightly behind the HL series. great game....i hope it beats out gta4 for GOTY.
What I am most surprised about is why no one to date has brought up the flawless cover system that allows you to pop and shoot on the fly with ease. Better then Gears, Better than uncharted even.
Anyone else notice this in the game? You hit triangle and then hold L-1 and move in and out of cover using the digital pad left and right or the analog up and down? It's absolutely brilliance! Another really cool thing I think people aren't talking about so much is the sheer amount of moves and different ways to take out an opponent really. I was impressed about halfway thru when I realised some of the stuff you could do. Blowing their brains out from behind, for 1 was cool. Disarming them is also really cool and varied. If you notice he doesn't always disarm the same way.
So much in this game needs to be talked about more. A wealth of hidden items and things to see and do. Helping the rebels is another cool thing to do.
Am I the only one who thinks this game has got to be one of the only games that received so many perfect scores?
