I thought it has been said that GZ will be a prequel to MGS5

itani4155d ago

WTF how many Metal Gears is there that are being made simultaneously?

Hanso4155d ago

2 or 3 now
we still dont know if GZ and 5 are two different Games

dubbnasty4155d ago

i think Ground Zeroes is the first mission of the game, the helicopter crashes and thats when "the phantom pain" happens, 2nd mission.Combine both of these together and you get the prologue for MGS5. So Ground Zeroes, The Phantom Pain, and then MGS5 is all one game.

Jasimulator4155d ago

This is what I was thinking, Ground Zeroes is the prologue, Phantom Pain is Chapter 1, Mobby Dick is an in-game organization at the first chapter, and the whole thing is one game that you know what it is.

I was thinking that that moby dick was created by one of the bosses in the game. Do you guys recall the guy in the flaming suit? Good point though, dubbnasty.

NavydAd4155d ago

I have never played a Metal Gear solid game. I just picked up a Ps3 and finished the Uncharted series. Thinking about going with metal gear series or God of war series where should I start?

RedDeadLB4155d ago

Tough call, but definitely play both series. I'd suggest MGS if you're in a sneaking mood.

Hanso4155d ago

if you start with GoW play in order first:
GoW 1
GoW CoO
GoW 2
GoW GoS
GoW 3

for MGS
MGS1
MGS2
MGS3
MGS4
MGSPW
MG Rising

Do not play MGS4 first. You'll be absolutely lost and nothing that happens will mean anything to you, I also didn't much like it as a game but I'm in the tiny minority there. If you can handle old old old games the first Metal gear solid still stands up well.

Overall though I'd have to say for the perfect balance between easing yourself into the story and playing a well rounded Metal gear game I'd start with Metal gear solid 3. It's the first part of the story chronologically (I think) and even though its a sort of prequel story that can be played at any point in the marathon (as long as its played before Peace walker, which is its direct sequel) it's got the smoothest controls and the best mix of accessibility and originality. The only problem there is that it's probably the best one so it'll be downhill from there. Not far downhill but still no other game in the series stacks up against it for me.

If you can handle old PS1 games you should try playing them all in order of release. If not I'd say start with MGS3, then either MGS2 or Peacewalker, then MGS4. Just be sure to at least watch some of the cutscenes from MGS1 on YouTube before playing 2.

Warning, be prepared to take a lot of stuff with a pinch of salt. It's an amazing series but there's more then a little craziness and melodrama in there that can put off the more weak willed.

You know out of all the mgs games I think I like mgs2 the most
I fn love dead cell and yes I know people hate him but raiden is my boy!!!

@NavydAd

Hanso got it completely wrong! Metal Gear has one of the most complex stories in gaming history, probably media history. Starting at MGS1 would be retarded as by MGS3 you'd be completely confused!

The chronological time line is;

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (HD collection)
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (PSP only)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (HD collection)

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes (coming next year)
Metal Gear Solid V (coming in the near future)

Metal Gear (HD collection)
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (HD collection)
Metal Gear Solid (The Twin Snakes) (PSN or Gamecube)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (HD collection)
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3 only)

Edit... Play in this order, MGS3 first and MGS4 last to get the most out of the story!

I'd avoid Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, not a proper Metal Gear.

@kent80082007

You've hit the nail on the head. Ground Zeros seems to be the warm-up acted before MGS V. Ground Zeros is a sequel to Peace Walker and the prequel before MGS V. MGS V will probably be the prequel of Metal Gear, the original game in the franchise.

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies20h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken16h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 8h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 7h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt19h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken16h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
