  1. Inky, please try and get the facts straight before posting. You may confuse others and then the false reports would flare up all over again. Albeit probably just in these forums. what facts did I get wrong? I had read on joystiq about the 90 minute cut scenes. I haven't seen any update on that but I am taking BKs word cuz he hasn't ever steered me wrong before. mgs2 came to the original xbox about a year later. so it was konomi that strong armed reviewers not sony? OK its still misleading. I can understand if they say ; don't talk about this gameplay element or the bosses' they don't want to spoil. but not talking about load times, install times, and cut scene length is just hiding negatives. Like I said this is probably gonna be a must play for this generation. but the underhandedness going on is despicable. a reviewer shouldn't be pushed around by the devs. EVER. Konami isn't forcing reviewers to do anything. They mainly wanted reviews to be as spoiler free as possible before launch. These reviewers didn't have to play the game and sign the contract, they could have easily said no until launch date but alas, everyone wants to get to the punch. Problem is, the punch will be the same across the board. Talking about the same things people hated or loved. So really, it is best to wait until 6/12 to submit the review, because then the whole of a reviewers opinion gets out. So you can think negatively all you want about it, but it's Konami's game and they're going to handle it whatever way they see fit. As a matter of fact, here's an update: That's directly from QJ.net, who clearly states their source and provides links if you want them. “Don't find fault with what you don't understand” - French Proverb
  2. About the 90 minute cut scenes and that Sony had something to do with the embargo.
  3. You sounded rational until you said it might be coming to the 360. like BK stated, MGS2 was ported about a year later. almost nothing stays exclusive these days. except first party titles. Speculation is null at this point. Kojima and Konami have already stated that MGS4 is and always will be a PS3 exclusive. I don't know if Sony paid for this or not, but facts are facts.
  4. Konami actually gave a list of things they could not mention if a reviewer wanted to post their review before 6/12. Most gamers look at the final score anyways. But it would be nice to know the whole opinion of a review so I'm mainly going to read the reviews after the embargo is lifted. Inky, please try and get the facts straight before posting. You may confuse others and then the false reports would flare up all over again. Albeit probably just in these forums.

  6. Like... get the Metal Gear Solid bundle? Best Buy will honor the wal-mart deal, you should go there and get the $100 gift card!
  7. If you want to comment on Qore, do so, but you haven't been on PSN throughout it's lifespan. I've had making ofs, developer interviews, trailers, demos, betas, wallpapers, themes for free and for a very very long time now. Qore really is just an online magazine of sorts. They'll get content earlier, and probably trailers for games you won't even care for. The only reason I would get it is if a good beta is on it.
  8. I own uncharted. There is a 30 second load in the beginning, after that you don't see a single load screen. i thought it was loading while the FMV's were going but you can skip them totally and not a hitch. From what I see the only time you may see loading is when drake walks from a huge underground area into the light, which takes all of 3 seconds. The hard drive is used, but it's only to cache data. Nothing needs to be installed. That all said, just play the game. Let me know what you think about the presentation, story... everything. it really is an amazng game.
  9. It's a non-traditional way of processing. Seeing as the Cell is really fast and great at multitasking (if programed for correctly) they are able to do this. If you've ever played Uncharted: Drakes Fortune you'd see how much this feature is utilized. The game engine really needs to be built from the ground up to take full advantage of streaming I believe.
  10. Umm, Fable 2. The first one got high praise so I would expect it from the second one as well. I know there are more, like Halo Wars, but most are new IP's starting. PS3 has Resistance 2 at the end of the year. Which is touted to take great advantage of the PS3's capability to stream textures instead of load everything in RAM. I loved the first one, but as I stated previously, unless you have a PS3 and played it, it's not a big deal to you. FFXIII is something of an enigma. I really can't tell you when it's supposed to come out. I hear Squenix wants a worldwide release, then I hear they aren't doing that. I know Vs. XIII is definitely coming out in 2009 as opposed to 2008.
  11. It'll take more than 3 months I think. Sure Sony's online is getting better, but MGS4 is the only blockbuster until years end. And I'm pretty sure all the games coming out at the end of this year a non-PS3 gamer won't be interested in. When the Final Fantasy's come out and maybe Killzone 2, maybe, then I think the PS3 will pick up some steam.
  12. BlackKnight, I call a truce. I admit the 360 in itself is a great gaming console. It's got power, a great online service, and enough games to go against any competitor. That being said, I still have my gripes with the company, but not the console. Actually, I have never hated any console released (except the virtual boy), just the stupid decisions companies make. I don't like how microsoft rushed the 360 into production. Hell, if they made a better, solid version of the original xbox I would have bought it. But they didn't, which is why i bought a PS3 because of the possibilities. I know Sony has it's faults, trust me I hate waiting for games, online services, promises to come true. I hate it all. But I chose what i chose and I'll respect your choice as well. So I'm going to stop being the typical fanboy. Nuff' said.
  13. I saw a video of it and it looks neat. I'll only get an episode when i know something good will be in it though.
  14. I love the MGS story, but as for how it is directed, the long, sloppy indulgent crap that passes for Kojima's 'direction' would never make its way film. And why is it the almighty PS3 showcase? Because the PS3 has nothing else. Can you please stop using this word at the mention of any PS3 criticism, please? Anyone can find fault in any game. Halo sucks because it's unoriginal. Bioshock sucks because it's too dark and not enough plasmids. Mass Effect sucks because the loading times are horrible. GTA sucks because it has drunk driving in it. See, I can point out things I don't like about games too. Doesn't mean all aren't great games. Well except Halo. That just really didn't do it for me. And why can't I use that word? Xbot.
  15. good job sony, it only a year and a half to NEARLY catch up. pfft. Damn xbots, go and enjoy your RROD. lol I completely enjoyed my RRoD for the 20 minutes I had it before I fixed it with literally 9 cents. I'll be honest.. I almost bought a PS3 today at Costco.... but I couldn't think of one game I wanted to play on it. I would say MGS4.... but I hear its 50% cutscenes...... no thanks. It's the same as any MGS game. Story loaded cutscenes you can't understand half the time, and brilliant directing. If you didn't like any previous MGS you probably won't like this one. Sorry for snapping, but I don't go into the 360 forum with bad news and 'lol' everywhere. It seems when I have good news about the system, people just come in here and bash it. It's the PS3 forum, for PS3 people. If you don't like the system get out.
  16. good job sony, it only a year and a half to NEARLY catch up. pfft. Damn xbots, go and enjoy your RROD.
  17. I don't know if they put that in the Playstation 3 box anymore. I created this thread in the PS3 section... where it really should be. Anyways, no the Spider Man 3 movie stopped coming with PS3's last year sometime. But if you get this on the 12th you get MGS4 and a $100 GC. Anyone thinking of getting a PS3... this is the deal you've been waiting for. Also, read in the PS3 section that in game XMB is due to arrive between the 10th and 12th of June.
  18. Guess what? That's right, Sony's actually trying to be a good company and come out with features we need. Thanks Sony, I'll give praise on June 10th.
  19. Apparently that's what Joystiq says. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/30/wal-mart...h-ps3-purchase/ "between June 1-7 Wal-Mart stores will give a $100 gift card to customers who purchase a PS3. The interesting part is that the following week, June 8 - 15, many Blu-ray players will offer the $100 gift card, and this apparently also includes the PS3." "The kicker here is if you're looking to pick up a PS3 with your purchase of Metal Gear Solid 4, the smart money would be to pick up the 80GB PS3 MGS4 bundle available June 12 because you'll get a $100 gift card out of the deal" Let's see... Premium PS3.. check. Amazing game... check. $100 Gift Card...! WTF!!!! Check. Apparently Best Buy will also be honoring this deal, just bring it up to them before purchasing.
  20. I never really noticed it underlining words as my monitor resolution is set to 1920x1080. Plus my myopia doesn't help either ** Moderately OT ** For those interested, to change dictionary go here to download the pack for your language/region. I could only find dictionary addons, not the standalone *.dic files. If you want rid of the addon though you can go here - C:\Documents and Settings\*You*\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx.default\extensions Your dictionary addon will be in there. Poke around the folders and you will find the *.dic and *.aff files corresponding to your choice eg. en-GB. Now copy those 2 files over to - C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\dictionaries - and uninstall the addon. Now type about:config in the address bar and navigate to the entry 'spellchecker.dictionary' and modify it to match your choice eg. en-AU. That's that! Thank you Gavin!
  21. Too bad Firefox doesn't do much for your sh!tty grammar. 'Its' lacks the apostrophe of possession, because 'it's' literally means 'it is'. Here again. Let us? Someone who apparently missed out on grade school should be a tad nicer, don't you think? Also beta should only have one set of quotation marks; 'beta'. Doubles are meant for direct quotes, not implied paraphrases, which is how you used the word just then. Try being less pompous and critical next time. This is the internet ffs. Wow... I just got my ass handed to me. *bows*
  22. Don't set your hopes to high, an exclusive is an exclusive. They're selling points for the consumer. So if I wanted Yoda, I'd have to get it for 360, same for PS3. So if people want both characters, they have to get both versions. See how that'll sell more copies then?
  23. I wonder if he'll be as cheap as Link was on GC SCII... Well, either way they're doing a pretty good job on him.
  24. Doesn't anyone use Firefox? It has an automatic spell check in it... I haven't heard a damn thing on this since it's "beta" release. It was looking so good too. nobody likes a spelling fairy. Not everyones first or second language is English que ? lol! I typed that because when I spell something wrong, firefox let's me know by putting a red line underneath it.
  25. None announced, but there will probably be one 6 months afterward. It's a news thread, punk. And if a little slowdown could be fixed in a few weeks, we wouldn't have had the PS3 Orange Box a month late and still terrible. And what do you mean limited time? 360 has Yoda, PS3 has Vader. Live with it and stop being an xbot. I mean those exclusive characters and more 'guest characters' will come as DLC to both systems down the track. Why getting so touchy? Feeling that without Vader you're going to have a tougher time justifying that massive brick of a purchase? PS3 will have MGS4 and little else. Live with that. This wasn't a fanboy thread, but you PS3 campers sure get upset easily. Where's the hate? Did I make this up, or sneak into the Namco offices and sabotage the PS3 port? I'm as surprised as anyone else at this and just reporting the news. Sheesh. Get lives. That hurts Agozer K. EA ported the Orange Box, not Valve. That's why it was late. People who didn't even make the damn game had to deal with the port... and it's EA... The PS3 is getting a lot more than just MGS4. Just because we have to wait doesn't mean we're not getting it. The way you say things makes the PS3 sound like it's a crappy console. Here's my opinion of a crappy console: 33% Failure Rate - I like to be secure in my purchase and not play russian roulette at the check out counter. Pay for Online - I'm already paying my cable modem bill, why more? No Standard HDD - Sure, we get installations, but we also get faster loading and streamable games. Got that? Nope. No Wi-Fi?!?! - No need to say a word. No HD out of the box - Buy a blu-ray player, you'll like the quality. Oh wait, buy a PS3. Bottom line is, I do not go around defending the PS3 until some asswipe comes out and acts all fanboy on a general game site. You should be ashamed of yourself for blindly screwing bill gates up the ass with your wallet. I'll enjoy SCIV on my PS3. As well as playing Vader EXCLUSIVELY. Get that, know what it means, it means it's not going to the 360. I'd love to have Yoda flipping around all over the place, but I know what the word exclusive means.
