Konami releases six vaguely new images of Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm almost sure I've already seen this gallery somewhere, but we never newsed it here anyway so at least it shouldn't be completely worthless.
Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @Loakum: enjoy, the one Sony sent us will be there on launch day. Coverage will follow asap. (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum *takes a large sip of victorious grape juice* ok….my PS5 pro arrived early! So much winning! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @reneyvane: non ils l'ont publié le 1er octobre et je crois que tu l'avais déjà linkée. ;) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Download is now functional again on Gamersyde. Sorry for the past 53 days or so when it wasn't. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Another (French) livestream today at 2:30 CEST but you're welcome to drop by and speak English. I will gladly answer in English when I get a chance to catch a breath. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood GSY is getting some nice content at 3 pm CEST with our July podcast and some videos of the Deus Ex Mankind Divided preview build. :) (> 3 Months ago)

This game has some of the best animation I have seen in a next gen titles so a few muddy textures are nothing.

Commented on 2008-03-26 09:50:45What a MGS-Fan want from MGS? Best Graphics? Best Gameplay? LOL - No! I mean, MGS (!) speaks for itself. It is the best presented Game, with probably the best western story (Shenmue has the best japanese one ^^) in videogaming-history: and you are speaking about textures! I dont see bad textures, I see bad posts, bad videogamers, videogaming-history-noobs and a damn fucking great game! and no - I have not a ps3 yet (as also a big Ninja Gaiden and Mass Effect-Fan at the moment Im still 360-only). So Haters, GET OUT OF HERE and pls don't buy this piece of history - thats for me!! ^^
Commented on 2008-03-26 09:55:19back on topic: The reason the Japanese focus more on character models is because most of the time Japanese games try to tell an emotional story. A huge important factor for an emotional story, is having character models that can show that emotion through expressions.
Commented on 2008-03-26 10:06:36 In reply to IIGrayFoxII1. Gears is the greatest-looking console game out, but for some reason is on the extremely underpowered 360 and not PS3. (go figure)
2. Kojima said he'd like MGS4 to look as good as Gears specifically. He praised Gears.
I hope I've been of some help.

Commented on 2008-03-26 11:06:01As for the amount of people bashing MGS now.. Try reading any topic where Halo is even *mentioned*.
Commented on 2008-03-26 11:21:13But dont care about graphics. I like Mass Effect, Shenmue or MGS more than Uncharted, Gears of even BioShock (thats also better in graphics than Gears in my opinion).
MGS is a deep storytelling presentation-game, with good graphics and solid gameplay. Every hobbygamer should take a copy of that masterpiece. :)

Commented on 2008-03-26 12:41:21Still, Gears was great and Uncharted's great too. They both are great on their own merits.

Commented on 2008-03-26 13:28:11And you complaining about textures? LOL.
Game does NOT need great textures to look like CG.
Just look at CG trailer of some 2000-2002 years, ground usually had weak textures, but still the trailers looked AWESOME.
Anyway, game will sell over 5 mln. copies and will be one of the best games in this gen, like you or not. =))
ONLY on PS3.

Commented on 2008-03-26 14:47:16All major Metal Gear Solid (1, 2, and subsistance) releases have gotten at least an average score of 9.2 on gamerankings...
This game seems to be an improvement in almost every possible way.

Commented on 2008-03-27 06:15:06I OWN Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, f*cking great looking game, so far the best i've played, HOWEVER, it suffers from the same(or some) issues games running on UE3 do. Screentearing, texture pop-in( AAAAHHEEMM* Gears Of War* AAHHHHHEEEEM), and the overall annoyingly and overly shinny/sparkly look of the textures due to the fact that they are so damn crisp.
Metal Gear Solid 4 achieves what no game, no matter what technical gimmick it throws in(character animation blending, destructible geometry yadda yadda), has ever achieved; and it is the immersing, obsessive compulsive level of detail and organic feel it draws you in with. It's a shame that all you spoiled kids consider "texture work" just the pores on the walls created by some fancy coding, when what truly matters is the artistry and talent that goes into drawing them. I've seen this game running up close (many moons ago that is) and I can confirm you this game is going to amaze even the most cynical and nitpicky.
I didn't hear anyone complain about COD4 having shamelessly pixelated textures, being a FPS. I don't see any other real reasoning behind all the "complaints" about MGS4 other than burning envy. This is game looks amazing, period.
Commented on 2008-03-27 14:09:28 In reply to BiGBoSSMK23The problem, I think is that a game that focuses so much on story and character development is never going to appeal to the casual gamer who only want action games about killing things, and personally I find it very hard to believe anyone buys the MGS games for their gameplay. Even as a PS3 owner I have to say I think the main reason that there's so much anticipation over the game is because it's the first real triple A game on the system. Halo may have been overly hyped, but at least the fans were honestly looking forward to this. The majority of people I see listing MGS4 as a major release this year seem to be doing so out of desperation, more than anything else.
I know a lot of the complaints about the game are coming from envy as well, but come on. If you don't think the same is true for things like Halo as well, then you're just as bad as the people bashing this.

To say that millions of fans of one of the biggest franchises in the industry aren't genuinely excited for this game because it "only" focuses on story and has mediocre gameplay, is just an opinionated statement. In fact, I'm glad that the MGS series is more story driven than revolving so damn much around stealth gameplay, otherwise it'd be just another Splinter Cell; and that's the reason why MGS is MGS and SC is SC. Do you hear anyone eagerly awaiting the next Sam Fisher game? Nah...
Besides, this franchise has been long running it's success on the loyal hardcore fanbase and it will continue to do so. It was never meant to appeal to the casual, which are oftentimes labeled as brainless monkeys with guns, but even this time around the level of complexity in gameplay has been streamlined for newcomers to the series.
And trust me, there is absolutely nothing appealing about Halo for me to feel envy, and there are lots of areas that deserve to be pointed at and laughed.
Commented on 2008-03-27 16:59:29I am following the story and I like it, so for me to know more about it, I and many other people will HAVE to buy MGS4 simply because it's the end of the MGS-saga (for Kojima-san atleast). There is no way around it. Kojima created a masterpiece of a story, one wich you will be remembering untill you get old, unlike the other zillion game-stories.
