New Metal Gear Online HD Screenshots Look Breathtaking

"Konami have published some new HD screen shots of Metal Gear Online--which will come bundled free with Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. While we still don't have an accurate release date we can at least know that the game is looking better and better with each update."

Screenshots usually do, its their sole purpose. How a game plays, runs and feels tends to be far, far more important in the long haul. Certainly I'm old and wise enough (sadly) not to be sold a game on some screenshots and carefully orchestrated 'gameplay'.

King_many_layers3427d ago

The fact that it was ' carefully orchestrated' was a good thing. I want a trailer for an online game to show me the potential of what working as a team can lead up to rather than a reel of running, dieing and respawning.

It looked great and showcased the potential that the MGO playground has to offer.

higgins783427d ago

Don't be disappointed that when you get your hands on the 'finished' version of said game it pales into insignificance to what we have been privy to initially. My advice - based on experience, staged events/showings rarely translate into the retail copy.

Mgs runs and feels real smooth
1080p 60fps my friend!

kingmushroom3427d ago

I cant't wait to play this. No creating double account this time, trying to join a match was painfully long some times on the last MGO.

Inzo3427d ago

I have a feeling this game is going to disappoint me. I really hope Im wrong.

DoomeDx3427d ago

Cant wait to play it and have Konami shut down the servers after a few years!

PoSTedUP3427d ago

lol. that was the first thing i thought as i watched the GP trailer. "man this looks awesome, too bad it will be shut down early/eventually". eh, what can you do... gonna deff enjoy the s*** outta this for as long as i can.

xabmol3427d ago (Edited 3427d ago )

Only reason I don't have a ps4 is because this game isn't out!!

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Welshy968d ago

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head968d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck968d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief3624968d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon968d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord968d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK21968d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex968d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK21968d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1021d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1021d ago (Edited 1021d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot2405d ago (Edited 2405d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

GamesMaster19822404d ago

BlaqMagiq12404d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
