Why Does MGS4 Work? (And Why Does That Have Me Worried About MGS5?)

GeekParty's Shelby Reiches writes: "Metal Gear Solid 4 may not be as well-rounded an entry as its predecessor, Snake Eater, but it certainly stands as one of the most affecting games I’ve played in recent memory. No, it isn’t a Heavy Rain with realistic and sympathetic characters. It doesn’t have the subtle hand of BioShock Infinite. On the contrary, this is a game that takes a direct, even awkward, approach to its storytelling. At times, it goes beyond that and teeters on the brink of outright insanity."

have me worried to.I think he should stay on PlayStation and just keep how it is.we PlayStation fan and mgs fan know what really good with this game. Open world like wtf you thinking you game is not made for open world smh.

dcj05243898d ago

Hideo is trying to keep it fresh. Doesn't want to make MGS 4.7. It's on XBOX because they need more money. Can't afford exclusivity to break even with the cost to make the game.

gamedebater3898d ago

They could do a timed exclusive but nobody ever does that...

JunioRS1013897d ago

Well they should at least make it Next Gen exclusive...

Yeah, I know how small the install base would be etc. etc. but I also know that the game would be bigger and better if it were exclusive to next gen consoles.

I'm a diehard MGS fan, I've played and beaten every MGS playstation title.

This cross-gen, cross-platform business is just too out of character for the franchise.

adventureghost1243897d ago

The creators of metal gear solid need money? No, all of the mgs games sold beautifully maybe not the handheld titles but definitely the console titles he wants to westernize that is why it is on the Xbox One, and 360, that's why he is replacing his voice actor, and that may have even been the reason it's an open world instead of the old style mgs game. I hate to say it butit for the first time ever I'm losing faith in Kojima

Salooh3898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

So far everything looks stunning , but i agree , they should have stayed in ps4 because that way they focus on making the game not porting it to ps3/360/X1. I know it's something meaningless to you but i feel that the magic of MGS disappeared when i knew it's coming to xbox but the trailers gave me hope again and made me get over that..

EdoubleD3898d ago

I wouldn't be worried. I think the game is going to be fine.
So what if it's open world, that just means more freedom, strategies for infiltration etc.

thelaughingwiseman3898d ago

Cutscenes! Cutscenes! Cutscenes! It's a cutscene's extravaganza!!! You get a cutscene! You get a cutscene, you all get a cutscene!

"No, it isn’t a Heavy Rain with realistic and sympathetic characters"

lol

Timesplitter143898d ago (Edited 3898d ago )

personally, I think MGS5 looks more promising than MGS4. The setting is more exciting, the story looks more intriguing, the open-world with day/night cycle will make the game much more fun to play... etc

I loved MGS4 but it had some flaws, that's all

Tdmd3898d ago

Agree. I've been wishing it went open world since MGS3! I trully believe this will be the best MGS yet!

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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!!

Rude-ro40d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7240d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_40d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga40d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2340d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200041d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin41d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole41d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix41d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198940d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

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 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Now we'll have to see how much the Master Collection will add to those numbers.

Number1TailzFan167d ago

Too bad it was a lazy release. They could've updated the visuals and everything. Missed opportunity.

Stanjara167d ago

...and yet, they couldn't give more respect and effort into the collection.
What a terrible company.

Minute Man 721167d ago (Edited 167d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus167d ago

Yes, these are total lifetime sales of the entire series.

ApocalypseShadow167d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Michiel1989167d ago

Get that Sony tramp stamp while you're at it. No one asked
