Congrats, my second favourite game series after Resident Evil.

jBlakeeper748d ago

RE is my fav also. The first game I ever remember playing was RE2 with my dad.

darkrider748d ago

Those deserve a remake and a new one. I played so many hours.. Still remember the hype of buying them

RosweeSon748d ago

Just finished MGS4 again and it still holds up really well, platinum’d MGS3 last year and wow even that as a ps2 is incredible. Hideo really is a 🐐

darkrider748d ago

For me mgs3 was amazing! He really is!!!!

andy85747d ago

Baffles me they never bought MGS4 to newer systems

Muigi747d ago

Unless Kojima is involved in some capacity please god don’t make another one.

RosweeSon747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

100% he is the heart and soul of the series. Hopefully Sony snag the IP and give it Hideo for him to have a field day 🤞🏻🤞 27995;🤣

darthv72747d ago

I'd def love a remake of the original. Twin Snakes was good but to see a full on remake with dual sense controls and tempest sound and maybe even some VR support... that would be epic.

darkrider747d ago

Yeah. Thats was another good one. This franchise is a wasted gold mine.

RosweeSon748d ago

If they made MGS4 again they’d clear 65 million just saying

MrChow666748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

I've been wanting to replay MGS4 for years now, I'd be happy with a remaster, no need for an over ambitious remake in this case.

RosweeSon747d ago

Yeah I wanted to play for a while and seen it on ps Now via PS5 but for some strange reason they’ve decided to remove it on 17th so had a good old session managed to get me some trophies 🙌🏻🤣 (no kills/alerts) great game tho do love a good metal gear really won’t be same if it’s not Hideo for me tho it’s his little Easter eggs and nuggets that he leaves, also the attention to detail and extras you just don’t get in most games. Legend

Flawlessmic747d ago

Even better if they just made a collection with all the games in it. So i can enjoy them all without having to jump through hoops and consoles.

FanboysKiller748d ago

Numbers leads to new announcements , just saying.

just_looken748d ago

They already have plachikno machine again and a set of nft's.

Nyxus747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

They update the sales numbers with their financial reports, I don't think it means anything.

MrChow666748d ago (Edited 748d ago )

Gameplay wise it's excellent, Just don't expect the same level of storytelling of more traditional (non open world) entries in the series, if you accept it for what it is you will enjoy it.

TheColbertinator747d ago

Sometimes I see it for 10$ on the sales lists. Well worth it and the graphics still hold up well.

porkChop747d ago

Great gameplay. Fun loop. Terrible pacing. Literally unfinished story with large gaps between cutscenes/narrative. Chapter 2 is mostly just replaying earlier missions for no reason.

If you play MGS for story you should skip MGSV. If you just want a fun action game with a lot of freedom you should play MGSV.

LoveSpuds747d ago (Edited 747d ago )

@Porkchop
With respect, whilst agree that the story is generally under-baked, I think there is still a lot to enjoy in respect of story, lore, fan service if you are fan of the series. I got so much enjoyment out of all of the bonkers story, audio recordings etc., let alone all of the Easter eggs and nods to previous games; this on top of what I found to be incredible gameplay made the title one of my fave games on PS4.

RosweeSon747d ago

Hope so it’s the only one I’ve not got round to really don’t know why it’s taken so long but maybe as I wanted to do 2 again on vita 3 on ps5 (via ps Now) 4 same way wanna do metal gear 3 on vita first tho me thinks really enjoyed it and seems like the new ones quite a bit different but does look great

Metal Gear Solid 5, Nearly After A Decade, Is Still A Timeless Classic

The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx6h ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

just_looken3h ago

A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.

-Foxtrot7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

just_looken3h ago

If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.

Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.

You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.

So your idea was on the table bit got canned.

CrimsonWing697h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

Inverno7h ago

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing696h ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

JEECE7h ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Fishy Fingers6h ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.

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

Number1TailzFan216d ago

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

Stanjara216d ago

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

Minute Man 721216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

Are they counting every game?

Edit: they did

Nyxus216d ago

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

ApocalypseShadow216d ago

.... mostly with the help of PlayStation.

Michiel1989215d ago

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