Metal Gear Solid V’s Nuclear Disarmament event unlocked on consoles

It seems that – somehow – the famous Nuclear Disarmament event in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has finally been unlocked in the console versions of the game.

Now that the event has been triggered, I can finally rebuild my nuclear arsenal.

[TheSinsibleOne]

To the fellow Diamond Dogs that continued the mission for us all. I salute you.

Diamond Dogs are punks, I'm Charlie Rock for life!

I don’t think Konami would ever port it, but I would love this MGS V on Switch. Portable MGS is amazing. I played the ever loving crap of Peace Walker on PSP and MGS3 on 3DS.

[TeamIcoFan]

Shhhhh, you're not allowed to wish for ports of other games on the Switch on the site!
The Sony fanboys rule this site and their word is law, how dare you be normal and hope that other games come to your preferred platform?! Shame on you!

[Teflon02]

No, the issue is port begging switch owners are annoying af. They literally say "portable *insert any game not currently on switch* would be great, I'd buy" type crap on everything. It's extremely annoying now. I actually wouldn't mind it but when every single game has, this should be on switch or port this to switch, it would be amazing. It becomes extremely annoying. People complained about Vita owners doing the same before. Only difference is they would just ask for PS3 ports to Vita since they were suppose to be easy to port overall. Even so it was no where this bad. It's out of hand. Not just here, literally every single thing I look at has them. On FB, N4G, any other game site, YouTube etc.

@ Teflon I’ve never seen anyone on the internet complain about Vita owners “port begging” for PS3 games. The Vita simply cannot handle games like Uncharted 3, TLOU, or any big budget Ps3 game, because the hardware isn’t as capable as PS3. Come on, dude lol PS2 ports like Jak and Daxter even have a hard time running properly on the Vita, bro lmao smh 🤦🏻‍♂️ .

The Switch, on the other hand, could easily handle MGSV (the game was released on the 360, and the Switch is more poweful than that afterall), and it’s a successful system with tons of sales. There’s no reason to not want X or Y game to be released for it, especially since it can be done, and the machine definitely has the install base to support sales unlike the Wii U or even Vita for that matter.

TeamIcoFan is right. There are way too many close minded Sony fanboys on N4G if your comments is anything to go by lmao

Statistics

@Nintentional

The main reason for lack of ports is the cartridge size, high cost of cartridges, the expensive memory cards limiting consumers from having a lot of storage, and all of these factors limiting the massive files sizes of PS3/360 games. Especially for PS3 games.

MGS4 actually had a tech demo that Konami made to demonstrate the capabilities. Apparently, with a basic port, not much optimization, and having a lower screen resolution to drive had the game running very well for a handheld. A framerate around 40-50 if I remember correctly. And, that's a great looking game.

It's actually quite a capable handheld, but with very important drawbacks that doomed it. Similar to Wii U, it lacked third party support for main stream titles.

@Nintentional

A new Portable Ops would be so amazing. Even just a remaster ported to Switch with updated controls. I used to be consistent number 1 on the leaderboard, lol. Ideally, MGSV's engine and assets could be made into a similar game at least.

I think everyone dooms ports to portable consoles these days. Nearly every gaming site is obviously going to be predominantly followed by Sony fans, since they have the most popular consoles atm. A generalization not set in stone, but backed by difference in population size.

The Switch absolutely accomplishes what I thought Sony would have sought after first. A handheld that is truly capable of full-length, home console quality, un-compromised control schemes. They pushed that ideal, but it never actually happened for their handhelds. The only drawback is not having pressure sensitive triggers, mostly for racing games

[thejigisup]

We can wish that ARK was never ported. Some of these games that people want ported are going to be such watered down versions of the original that it's almost not worth it. I too used to be a port beggar for the Vita bc having no internet connection to stream my games via remote play was an issue when I wasn't sitting somewhere with a good connection.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

On one had we have port begging, and on the other, we have remaster cheerleading. Nobody wins when these things occur.

WTF are you talking about the vita had a few PlayStation 3 ports and it was stronger than a ps2. The vita suffered from crappy developers everybody wanted there B,C or D team to make games for it so we got p.o.s like CoD, Resistance:burning Skies, and borderlands etc. With that being said it had a small library of good games that look far better than any ps2 game (Killzone Mercenaries,Unit 13 and Uncharted: GA)

[TeamIcoFan]

It also suffered from Sony making some stupid AF decisions, the obvious ones being dropping 1st party support and proprietary, overpriced memory cards.

[Nintentional]

Wtf are YOU talking about?? Lol are you seriously gonna try to tell me the Vita is capable of running Uncharted 3 and the Last of Us natively?? Delusional. The majority of games that were simultaneously released on PS3 and Vita were either primarily developed on the Vita, or heavily downgraded to run on the Vita. Why are we even arguing about it anyway? The Vita is dead bro! 😂😂

[LegoIsAwesome]

Might as well make every PS4 games, multiplatform,Full exclusives and Console Exclusive comes to SWITCH eh?

[Nintentional]

Ummm no? Just multiplats that are capable of running on the hardware. Why would any sane minded person ask for PS4 exclusives on the Switch?

[LegoIsAwesome]

Uhmmm, the same guys who constantly begs for a Switch port of a "ps4 only game" that is not made by sony's first party studio?

[sinspirit]

I wish we could get a new Portable Ops style game with many of the gameplay innovations of MGSV.

The game was on PS3 and 360. It's not out of the question, but certainly unlikely.

[kingfortoday]

Possible. Ran on ps3

[diesoft]

I thought it was just me. Just disarmed someone's nuke I stole then this played. Guys, I don't want to toot my own horn...but I think it was me.

[hercules_]

It's a bug, we are not supposed to see this cutscene.

[diesoft]

...pretty sure it was me

[staticall]

You are wild.
I mean, you are like wild wild, you know what I mean?
I mean completely wild at a wildness wild-y. And I salute you!

[franwex]

Good job!

F

[CobraKai]

They should just have this scene triggered already. It’s a novel idea for total disarmament, but it’s been so long now that it should be there to complete the game.

[Batzi]

After 3 years on ice, we can finally close that chapter!
