For Metal Gear Online fans, I hoping it's MGO 3 related (for MGS V).

Heavenly King4018d ago

which was MGO2?? So far the only I know about MGO which was included in MGS4.

Or the online in PW was considered MGO2?

Donnieboi4018d ago (Edited 4018d ago )

No, MGO 1 was the mgo that came with MGS 3 subsistence. It was only available for a couple of months to a year. Then MGO 2 was made for MGS 4, but it was simply called Metal Gear Online. So, many refer to the next upcoming MGO, as MGO 3 to help with the confusion.

xabmol4017d ago

I always thought the PS2 MGO was like a beta test. Since it was released with Subsistence, (re-release w/ add ons) and that the MGO on PS3 was simply titled "MGO." Plus it released standard from day 1 with MGS4.

So the next ones MGO2, right?

Shuyin4017d ago

Indeed...MGO....good times man...good times...

xabmol4017d ago

1,500 hours on my main char, Lombax. And another 1,000+ on alts like Laughing Stoner. I'd just throw red smoke nades and stab people. Oh the good times!

Since The Contra Revival Shows Konami Still Cares, How About A New Castlevania?

Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"

shinoff218315d ago

Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those

Castlevania fighting game for wii needs to be remade plz

Aphrodia15d ago

well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.

It’s almost like Metal Gear is a well known franchise

Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.

That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.

Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.

Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.

just_looken71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.

When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.

Here is the online bit

You mean the game that won a bunch of awards and has an 83 on opencritic?

EvertonFC76d ago

83 is good, not sure what you are getting at.
You must miss loads of great games.

Kojima definitely assembling the Metal Gear Solid avengers for Physint

Is this really anything to get excited about? MGS5 was an absolute cluster f...

DarXyde76d ago

Gee, I wonder if there were any contemporaneous issues internally while the game was being made?

Nah, couldn't be. Game was released exactly as intended.

Samonuske76d ago

And regardless of its issues, it still had arguably the best gameplay in the series.

mkis00776d ago

The gameplay was amazing, coming from one who didn't play any of them until 4

Yui_Suzumiya76d ago

MGS ended with 4 for me. I want Hideo Kojima to get the Snatcher IP from Konami so there can be a remastered release and a sequel.

mkis00776d ago

Well 4 is technically the last in sequence right?

Chocoburger76d ago

@mkis007

Unless if you want to count Revengeance, which I started a new playthrough of recently, and damn is it still fun.

CDbiggen76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

Yeah it was, he didn't want to keep making MGS and it showed. Even if he was given the time by konami to finish it, what was there was already so weak that it's hard to see what could've salvaged it. The gameplay was quality no doubt. I still cringe at the characters and story though and the jeep scene.
