It's about the same as Vanquish. A little disappointing, but it's all about quality over quantity.

-Ikon-4086d ago (Edited 4086d ago )

This counts time like Vanquish it restarts the timer if you die at a check point and doesn't include cut scenes.

Perfect length what I expected.. Like most P* games will have a ton of replay value with all those weapons, no kill weapon run, Gray Fox, VR missions, plus 30 extra coming, Revengance mode and other stuff..

Haters going to hate I'm going to enjoy the best game in its genre since Bayonetta!!

100%
Time for Jack to let it rip!

paydayp4085d ago

i agree vanquish was getting hated for its lenght.
but that game was made perfect for multiple playthroughs on harder difficulty.
i got easy 60 hours out of it.
i loved it same with bayonetta great game

-Ikon-4086d ago

Exactly plus who doesnt want to be the first with zero alert play through.. Or at least lowest possible thats worth a play through in its self

showtimefolks4086d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

As long as its as good as vanquish but better much better story wise since Kojima productions are doing the story.

I see this game not selling well because 5 and half hrs for a full $60 game isn't gonna sit well with a lot of peopl. With the way 2013 is stacked up with great games MGR really has to do everything right to justify the full price tag

It's still a day one for me since I don't want to miss a Kojima story

So true, but watch many reviewers will complain about the short length even if it's high quality. Old school games were $50 for like 1-2 hrs game.

Now. Days each game has to provide skyrim type content.

I don't know at there's but me personally with job,family and a other things I rather play a 8-10 hrs game than 50-60. I use to love the long games but now with so little time if I start a LNG game it may take me a month or even 2 to finish it so for me MGR seems right at home

Also this time was n normal and this person might have skipped over the cutscenes which I plan to watch

wheresmymonkey4085d ago

That's just for the main campaign. The VR missions pretty much double the length of the game and you have to unlock them ingame by finding them as well.

Also there's a n achievement thats going to be an utter bugger. revengence mode (hardest difficulty) with s ranks on every level.

TreMillz4085d ago (Edited 4085d ago )

its obvious the dude rushed through the game he has like 85 alerts and died 56 times..... that and his combat skills are wack all rank C cept one rank B

And to think, I was planning on getting this Day 1. Oh well, bargain bin it is. If I'm paying $60 for a game, I want quality AND quantity. Don't know what Platinum Games' deal is in regards to meager game length.

jetlian4086d ago (Edited 4086d ago )

go play streets of rage back in the 90s. It was 50 bucks and 30 mins long. Gamers today are getting way to critical on game length.

Most games of this type lose their appeal if they are much longer than this.

we don't know what level of difficulty it was on and the time could be based on save point timing! who ever was play continued 59 times! all that happen in that time probably wasn't added to total time

Edit: who disagree hmmm? I bet if you played this game with old school rules people couldn't even beat it.Old school rules 3 lives 3 continues gain new life after 100 kills. Thats how it use to be.

Now you can save anywhere and often and die as much as you want. Journalist complain when they lose 30 mins of gameplay due to save points being to far apart.

Gaming is dying I swear

TheBlackSmoke4085d ago

"go play streets of rage back in the 90s. It was 50 bucks and 30 mins long. Gamers today are getting way to critical on game length"

Err yeah 20 years ago that was the standard length for pretty much all games, It really wasn't tecnologically phaesable to have epically long 10 hour plus games without reusing the same assets over and over. plus you had manufacturing costs of chipboards and cartridge cases. Its such a poor argument, times,technology and expectations have changed so dont make excuses for short games.

Personally I understand that hack and slash are designed to be played over and over but that doesn't make someones opinion of 6 hours for 60 bucks invalid. People consume games in different ways and a LOT of people simply wish to play through once then move on.

jetlian4085d ago

oh really? so 30 mins and 50 buck and 5.5 hours and 60 bucks shouldnt be? Thats 11 times the content vs a 20 percent cost increase.

You think all games were 30 mins long? Maybe in this genre but what about donkey kong or pacman? those games which where simple had 5-6 hours if you were good enough.

My point is the cost to game time ratio has gone up more than price. If your only gonna play it once you should just rent the game. That should be for all games if thats how you play

yami9304085d ago

But quantity is not determined through one playthrough, you dont know how the person played the game (if they skipped cutscenes or not and / or skipped all codec conversations or not), if they just ran through it as quick as they can the time it took to complete the story will obviously be less and if he didnt it would be higher. I feel Platinum has definietly put in a lot of replayability with the different difficulties levels, playing through it all action or all stealth (everywhere a stealth approach is possible) or an all non-lethal run, there are a lot of VR missions, the trophies, for me playing with the Gray Fox skin and blade is another playthrough, there are probably / hopefully a good amount of unlockables and more content in the game we probably do not know about yet and there is DLC stories and VR missions and more coming soon as well.

rezzah4085d ago

Maybe they played it on easy mode and or rushed to get the game done asap.

If you agree with the quantity of the game's length (prior to playing it), then you claim to have the same play style/circumstances of the reviewer.

Hanso4086d ago

nothing new if you skip cutscenes in MGS games they have the same lenght
and Vanquish was maybe short but it was my GotY pure gaming bliss
cant wait for rising
normal run hard run revengeance run + VR Missions + Trophies
=atleast 40 hours

rezzah4085d ago

My first play-through I played on hard mode and spent 8-11 hours in total.

This surprised me as many said Vanquish was a 4 hour game.

Kevlar0094086d ago

Speaking of game length to quality, RE4 was perfect for me in both regards. To this day it takes me 15-20 hours to beat it (after beating it at least 7-8 times already), yet I still enjoy it without feeling like I waste too much time, without the game becoming stale. Good balance of action to strategy, and I still get freaked out by the sewers and Regenerators

Hopefully MGR:R has a good amount of quality relative to quantity. I have high hopes for this developer

PhantomTommy4085d ago

Resident Evil 4 is the closest that video games have come to absolute perfection! Also, I can't bloody wait for this game.

oriononer4086d ago

I would like to be playing this game right now. Yep, that sure would be about the best. Ahem, I said it would be pretty awesome to play this right about now...dangit, it never works. Sigh...back to waiting.

This game could be five hours long and I would still buy it day one. I've played the demo for hours by now. Maybe it's just me, but I can't get enough of it and it's such a small slice of the total. I think it's going to be all out mayhem the whole time, ala Vanquish and will be filled with content. Quality moment to moment over drawn out length.

I can't freakin wait.

Metal Gear Solid Can Work Without Hideo Kojima

There are more good non-Kojima Metal Gear games than one would realize. Scientifically, three examples prove a trend, and in this feature are three excellent Metal Gear games that Hideo Kojima did not direct.

I hope so, still cant forget MGS Survive , the first MGS game without Kojima involvement and it was a complete failure, the thing is Kojima way of thinking is outside the box and that's why their games 99% end up unique, original and a almost instant classic. MGS series are full of intricate things that somehows connects to each other, Lalulilelo, the Patriots, Outher heaven, Foxhound, PMCs , heck even Kojima manage to insert DARPA in there lol, a US government Defense Agency. So is really great MGS3 Remake is reviving the series but without Kojima who knows of the end result, I hope Konami have another or more developers insight their studios who can also think outside the box.

senorfartcushion320d ago

It actually can’t. But it won’t matter.

Kojima is Metal Gear the same way that Christopher Nolan is The Dark Knight, or David Lynch is Twin Peaks: The Return episode 8. Artistry is the creation of a thing from your own thoughts and feelings. Take away the original artist’s thoughts and feelings and you have a new thing entirely.

This isn’t going to stop the mega corporation creating a fake version and spending millions TELLING customers that it’s made with the same thoughts and feelings. The masses will buy the idea the same way the corporation will sell the idea.

just_looken320d ago

I guess everyone forgot metal gear solid rising was tossed to platnium games with a story script and that is it.

Z501319d ago

Kojima was involved in Rising tho

just_looken319d ago

kpjima just did the story everything else was platnium games look it up.

Hence i said script

neutralgamer1992319d ago

i think the bigger issue is whether or not Konami is actually interested in fully funding AAA games development. Even this remake is done by a studio not really known in gaming industry. Quality remake/projets vs cheap cash in quick releases. Which way will Konami head. I am a huge MGS fan and i feel like Kojima did long time MGS fans dirty with how made MGS5 and it's story elements

senorfartcushion319d ago

Remakes and remasters provide a gateway through to producing AAA games faster and cheaper.

RaveTears319d ago (Edited 319d ago )

Actually MGS Portable Ops which was technically the first canon MGS game that Kojima wasn’t mainly involved with it. Kojima was only the producer but not the writer and director.

Konami did other MGS spin off that were successful but that because Konami put effort. Just along Konami is not lazy and cash grab, they can a MGS game without Kojima.

i mean sure, but he made it the thing it is today and why people love it so much.

i think its not easy to replicate.

Flawlessmic320d ago

I doubt it could.

Say what you want about the bloke, but his games are uniquely his.

I don't think anyone makes games like kojima does, for better or worse.

Could mgs continue without him, yea maybe, but it would lacking his genius so wouldn't be the same.

Soulsborne320d ago

Well , he already created it. They just have to recreate it? Not like its a new concept or IP. Trash article.

Terry_B320d ago

Yes. It only needs motivated clever people.

Why We Need Metal Gear Rising 2

Demand for a sequel is about to skyrocket, like the good ol' days of 2013!

In case you're living under a suspiciously rock-shaped object, the recent PlayStation Showcase revealed that a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be coming, alongside a Master Collection of Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, and 3. While it is a remake of an existing game, there's a great deal of significance to it, considering the last time a game in the series came out was back in 2018 with Metal Gear Survive (and the less said about that, the better). Konami's decision to pull a Konami and feud with series creator Hideo Kojima has long left the fate of Metal Gear uncertain, but this recent announcement has led to all bets being off as to where Metal Gear can go from here.
