GC: "We are getting enough clues on what Kojima is planning as we reach closer to GDC where he will talk about the Fox Engine."

man....all questions will be answered. i don't want to even bother making assumptions, but I do know Kojima has been teasing us with photo realism before.

crxss4045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

JM being CG is the most absurd thing I have heard today. Some people need to get their eyes checked

DeadManMcCarthy4045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

Agreed, It's ridiculous. We don't even have the technology right now to make a person look that realistic. I bet the people who believe that theory still believe in Santa Claus.

morganfell4045d ago

Yes, let's waste the world premier of a lifelike CGI character on Spike TV.

The tech is there

@cyguration

Yeah, but even that doesn't look like real life, it looks super good, I'll give you that, but if you think we are at the point of ultra-realistic graphics you are dead wrong.

jivah4045d ago (Edited 4045d ago )

A better video to photorealism ..It would be fantastic to see if Kojima has indeed used some orientation of this tech in his engine

@cyguration

That still looks fake though, not on the level of realism that this 'allegedly' CG Joakim Mogren is.

bunt-custardly4045d ago

I still don't think this is CGI, but that picture is still pretty funny.

Y_51504045d ago

True I watch the interview and I saw little bits of the guy's hair sticking thought the wrap. If it's CG, it's impressive!

hesido4045d ago

If it is CG, it is better than Avatar, because the skin slides on top of the bone structures.

It is not CG, and the fact we are even discussing it somehow befuddles me.

dudeOplenty4044d ago

@hesido:
the fact that people are disagreeing with you indicating that they believe it's CG is aneurism inducing.

adorie4045d ago

Another GAF original. The speculation blows the mind like a hotair balloon. I need a break from that place... Nah.

Onehandband1t4045d ago

Just no, its not CG, there is no compelling evidence. The major thing to look at is eye's, CG will always make eyes to glossy, and you just know when someone is real, which he was, a real person

DigitalSmoke4044d ago

I bet my account on the mummy being computer GFX.

redDevil874045d ago

Oh myyy ...

This GDC could blow minds!

Konami Unveils PES Plans For Next-Gen, Will Transition To Unreal Engine

PES will finally transition from the Fox Engine to the Unreal Engine, and the game will allow for more realistic player models and animations, enhanced physics, photorealistic visuals, and much more.
Is this the end for Kojima's hailing Fox Engine?

Wheres Silent Hill,
Wheres MGS,
No one gives a F**K about PES

Ninjamonkey821371d ago

Tbh without kojima i'd not play MGS. Im a fan off both games you speak off but, PES is still a good football game and theres a great deal off players give a crap about it.

vivid831371d ago

A lot of people give a F**K about PES actually

RaidenBlack1371d ago

Need a potent dev for MGS.
If an internal team is going to handle the project, then which game engine will they use?
Fox Engine like MGSurvive? Or will they also transition to UE?
MGS series is known for using state of the art proprietary game engines.

Nacho_Z1371d ago

That's great but for gods sake let's have a new commentary team with all new dialogue and more intelligent analysis. Great way to make a game feel stale out of the box when they're saying the exact same stuff they were five years ago.

Commentary isn't important in itself but it's an example of how they leave some things to stagnate while focusing on tiny improvements in animations.

Metal Gear Solid 3 on The FOX Engine is Too Good To be True

What if Metal Gear Solid 3 (argubly the best in the series) gets remade in MGS V’s FOX Engine. YouTuber kur ko04 gives us an idea. While definitely not official, it certainly looks pretty beli…

affrogamer2681d ago

good lawd!! I still pray for that day!

mikeslemonade2681d ago (Edited 2681d ago )

3 is Simply the best MGS in the series. 4 too linear and cod like. And 5 is too boring making you travel quest to quest.

I3loggs242680d ago

mgs3 is pretty great but nothing beats mgs1, and mgs2 is a masterpiece in terms of creativity and execution.

Gitgud2680d ago

my fav is MGS 2, but you shutting down 4 like that is bs. 5 had it's mistakes, but the game is still amazing.

bouzebbal2680d ago (Edited 2680d ago )

MGS3 is definitely the best in the series by far and is my first MGS.
I actually just played the jungle level in U4 yesterday and this video is really not that impressive. It's okay!
Vegetation is actually better animated in the original Snake Eater.
The title is very deceiving, as always *roll eyes*

2pacalypsenow2680d ago (Edited 2680d ago )

Lol MGS 3 was just as linear as 4, in fact every metal gear solid game before PW was linear. And how was it COD like?

morganfell2680d ago (Edited 2680d ago )

MGS4. My favorite title still...of any game. A reveal unlike any other.

Who is Darth Revan? Pffft.

Nothing beats the mind blowing reality of Debriefing Naked Son. A massive sleight of hand 20 years in the making when the truth of the Metal Gear series is at last uncovered. A revelation no one saw coming as they thought the game had ended and assumed they knew the very simple facts.

Kojima Rick Rolled the world. And it features my favorite voice actor from the entire series - Richard Doyle, the guy I wish would have had the same role in MGS5.

Massive Spoilers for the uninitiated

This will never happen. Because you know....Konami

PapaBop2681d ago

Wouldn't it? I don't see Konami making a new MGS game any time soon, if they decided they want another slice of the console market, they'd be far better off taking the safer option and remaking the old MGS games and they have spent a fair bit of money on the fox engine, would be a waste to see it not used.

Timesplitter142681d ago (Edited 2681d ago )

Konami ARE making a new MGS right now. It looks like garbage, but it is a new MGS

_-EDMIX-_2680d ago

We might be more likely for something like that as opposed to a new game.

rezzah2679d ago

Even if it does happen I won't touch it because it's Konami.

hirobrotagonist2681d ago (Edited 2680d ago )

well, that's just like...you know...your opinion man.

And it's wrong.

gninja92, Please educate me more with your seventh grade education on how opinions can't be wrong like I don't already know that since I was quite obviously being facetious; oh great professor of logic. Especially considering I'm almost a decade older than you based on your username. I feel like an asshole for even having to take the time to explain this.

"An opinion is not wrong. right and wrong only apply to facts. not opinions." What about an opinion based purely on lack of empirical reasoning? What about an opinion based on incorrect facts? Sure you can say, "I didn't like Snake Eater" but to say it's a bad game based on criteria that would make a game good, this is wrong. Saying something isn't good isn't purely an opinion. It's an opinion with incorrect assumptions of certain facts.

"Get over it, not everyone dick rides Snake eater. "

I guess that's how Snake Eater is different from your mom. Though she does have the same nickname (Snake Eater)

sullynathan2681d ago

I am actually right. This game isn't good.

gninja922680d ago (Edited 2680d ago )

An opinion is not wrong. right and wrong only apply to facts. not opinions.

You are wrong however for claiming that his opinion can be wrong in the first place.

Get over it, not everyone dick rides Snake eater.
i liked it too, in fact i probably logged more hours over the years in snake eater than any other mgs, but i still liked sons of liberty the most

TheOptimist2681d ago

Wow first time I agree with you lol

sullynathan2681d ago (Edited 2681d ago )

aren't hipsters the one that actually think Metal Gear has good writing, story and design?

Lynx02072680d ago

Today people don't understand what does "hipster" really mean.

G20WLY2680d ago

Of course you have...

Newmanator2680d ago

Google "MGS3 Review Scores." You will see the error of your ways dear child

sullynathan2680d ago

Taking reviews seriously?

Newmanator2679d ago

When the scores are unanimous, yes I do take them seriously Mr Sullynathan :)

thepluggy2680d ago

You were probably to young to have played it.
