I love the series to death. MGS 1, 2, and 3 was my first purchase and indeed a primary reason for purchase of my PS1, PS2, and PS2 Slim, though that one was just a coincidence; the original PS2 died around that time. For me and countless others, the series has been a monument of good gaming for many years now.
Even so, MGS has been far from perfect. Now, I'm not talking about redundant, excessive dialog. I'm not talking about hours of cinematics or a twisted, somewhat convoluted at times plot. I'm not even talking about Raiden hatred here. I'm talking about little things. Tiny moments where immersive gameplay and story disappears for a moment of awkward 4th-wall breaking, fan-service, or something completely nonsensical. Perhaps I'm giving too much credit to the MGS plot-arc, but its usually dark atmosphere and general levels of violence and death don't necessarily lend themselves to wacky side-notes.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From first-person espionage thrillers to the original installments of beloved franchises, check out the greatest retro video games we recommend for anyone.
I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.
Get a glimpse at how the remake of Metal Gear Solid 3 will be updated through the use of Unreal Engine 5.
It looks wonderful visually. Frame rate is very inconsistent though, and definitely running sub-30's at times. I get that this is an alpha version. I just hope we can hit a locked 60 on the final release. Also, I kind of wish they'd expanded the areas a bit. Might feel a bit odd going through these sections that are still clearly going to be on a PS2 scale in size.
the 4th wall breaking moments are awesome. It would not be MGS without them.
i loved these moments. its kojimas humor, the dude is genius.
Do we really need bullshit this article 2 1/2 years later?
