Mgs: Twin Snakes

[Cominus]

Has anybody played it? I bought it this morning and beat it so and chances are that im taking it back tomorow...maybe. For those of you wh are thinking about getting it i recommened you just renting it if you've already beat it once before or if it's your first time playing. It's not all that great, they didnt "some" crappy voice overs(fox, soldiers,raven) and the game slows down sometimes. I dont think it runs off of that MG2 engine, so it's textured good but game play feels a little crappy. It feels like most ps2 games, with the exception of few. Plus blood looks crappy, they did come "bullet time" matrix stunts during the cinemas. A bit of a disapointment.

I definately think its a keeper. The game was simply marveled in 1998, and it still does now. The replay valve is good as well. Getting all the tags, the hidden items and such. Lots of things were added to make things canon with MGS2: SoL. The game is a work of art. The cut-scenes were made by Ryuhei Kitamura, who made "Versus." Plus, I think you beat it on "easy" or "normal," try it on Hard or Extreme, then the game is even funner. Or try doing certain challenges, like beating the game without continuing, saving, killing, in the shortest time possible without using any special items. Its possible without cheats.

 

With that being said. The replay value and the story is amazing. Going back to play the original once in a while brings back memories, now today's generation will have that chance without having to find a copy of MGS and a PS1.

I agree that the ps1 title is a must but im mean the Exclusive GC version isn't what it's up to be, even the big magazine "gamepro" said it wasnt a great re-Make. Bottom line it's not worth $40, maybe in a few months when it's $20, but not 40, especially for vertrans. I dont like doing dog tags and all that stuff because i already did most of that stuff in part 2(SOL) doing it again would make me hate MGS.

For GameCube only, yes? Anyway old MGS for life. Snake Eater will own all.

Twin Snakes is an extension of the PS1 MGS.....There are many people on different forums bitching about it.....why can't they get a life?

 

Twin Snakes will be fun (Its not out here yet...I think) but I'm looking forward to MGS 3: Snake Eater

Is it really called Snake Eater? That is definitely a very raunchy name... snake eater. I hope Snake does go all gay on here...

Actually it's not snake. It's his dad(big boss)...well the DNA provider for his clones (solid snake) and (liquid snake). The game takes place in the 60's but thats all i know about the game.

"Snake Eater" is the nickname for Army Rangers, if I remember right, or one of the other special forces. It is NOT some gay name created exclusively by Hideo for this game.

Cominus is sort of right about the main character being "Big Boss"....TO my knowledge nothing has been confirmed yet....so it might be someone else.....But I hope it is Big Boss

well from reading a few reviews, its not an extension of the ps1 game but just a remake of the game in just about every way (they mentioned enemies being in the same spots as ps1 and you beat them the same way as ps1's). theres little added features here and there but nothing to make you really wanna play it again.

This game is DEFINITELY GETTING BAUGHTEN!!!

 

When I first played MGS on PS1 back in 1999, I finally realized what it was like to have a ladies ability to have multiple orgasms

 

I LOVED IT!!! Action, Stealth, Story, Graphics (at the time), Control. Basically, it was perfect. Every time I played I truly felt that I WAS Solid Snake. I truly felt that the characters were talking to ME, not Snake. There has been no other game that has done this for me, except Viewtiful Joe (another experience to know a ladies pleasure... )

Everything points to it, Force.

 

In some of the trailers, you can see that the main character is missing an eye. Big Boss lost his eye and that's why he wears an eye patch.

 

Communist threat was more of a force back in the 50's. This game might take place in Zanzubar (where the first MG project took place) during the 50's

 

In some of the materials handed to game industry vets, pieces of what they got from Konami (i really don't recall) spelled out "BIG BOSS"

 

Trust me, I KNOW!!!

Yes the ps1 title was the greatest, me an and my friend spent like 10 hours playing and beating it one day. Even though it was really great on the ps1 the gc version has drawbacks, like the controler, and even with a converter you cant change the button layout. There are slowdowns in gunfights and when ever theres alot of stuff on the screen. The Voice acting is F$&king terrible, A few characters kept thier voices but a lot changed, like ninjas went all retarded white guy, it doesnt have that demented postal worker to it. Merils voice isnt sexy anymore, ravens sounds like a gay vin disel. Since the game was designed for ps1 there really arent that many "hidden extras" except the traqulizer gun. The game wasnt desighned by the same MGS 2 team it was done by silicon knights. I think the problem was when they tried to make everything really textured and it caused slowdown and a bit blurryness. Trust me man it's kind of a disappointment. Do this instead, buy a ps1(if you already have one or ps2 fine) but mgs1, if you already have a ps1 of ps2 or bleemcast/DC then treat yourself to subway, eat fresh.

Simple correction. All the voices are of the original cast, if you think I'm wrong, check this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365499/ and this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180825/. They recorded the voices are higher samples because its Dolby Digital Surround Sound, so you need a 5.1+ system to experience it. In the original, 1 person did the DARPA and Ninja's voice, now the Ninja has a voice of its own.

 

Edit: Its been 7 years, you think they would rehash the original voice track? It would be kinda odd hearing Ocolot saying "Push the Circle Button" when you have a Gamecube controller.

this is a quote from gamespot,

Surprisingly, Konami has opted to rerecord the entire script for The Twin Snakes using (mostly) the same actors. This would make sense if there were radical changes to the script or even to the tone of the performances, but unfortunately, the quality of the voice work in The Twin Snakes is, at best, on par with what we heard five years ago. Snake's snarl is as potent as before, and the Colonel's gruff but helpful tone is also intact. Other characters have suffered in the remake, though. Dr. Naomi Hunter, in particular, sounds much flatter and much more bored than she did before. Mei Ling and Nastasha have bafflingly lost the ethnic accents that gave them their personalities in the previous game. Overall, the voice acting isn't bad by any means--so it's still better than what you'll hear in most games--but one has to wonder why the voice work was redone at all when the original performances were so great.
