Metal Gear/ Metal Gear Solid

Kamiya thinks Kojima is one of the few directors who still cares about making a good game over making a cash machine. He also thinks Kojima is the best game designer in the industry and that he would never wrestle with him because he's too cute.

Too cute? Well... I suppose this face◊ does look borderline-bishounen.

So it seems more like a healthy respect for a fellow game developer whose principles in said capacity he strongly approves of.

He seems to really hate people like Inafune who makes an anime and DLC before the game is even close to being done since it wastes money that was supposed to just go to the full game. He calls him a businessman instead of a game developer.

And Kamiya's twitter is the stuff of fucking legends.

"blocked" is his catchphrase

Kojima's English twitter is now basically nonexistant, and he only uses his Japanese one for retweets now.

It's kinda sad.

Being Kojima is suffering.

I also kinda agree with him on Inafune. Is he still crowdfunding for Mighty No 9 or whatever it is?

So, I got to play Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes a couple weekends ago, and enjoyed it deeply.

Sadly, I have no way to play MGS 2 or 4, but I think I'll get 3 for the 3DS on my birthday, and I have Rising on Steam but I haven't actually started it yet. How is the Steam port in comparison to the console versions, control-wise?

Have you got a Vita? You can play pretty much every PS Metal Gear except 4 on that as well as the MSX games.

And I've heard a lot of good things abou the Steam port of Rising. Has all the DLC, good settings and all that. Sad that my laptop is nowhere near good enough to run it but still.

Nah, no Vita. Aside from my laptop (Which should be strong enough to handle Rising), all I have is Nintendo systems, so it's hard to get Metal Gear games.

It's strange. Solid Snake's inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl undoubtedly created a market for Metal Gear Solid there, so you'd think they'd try to port some of the games over, or at least MGS2. All it's gotten since is Snake Eater.

People/critics didn't like the 3DS port and it didn't sell well enough.

I like the 3DS port. It's pretty good in my opinion.

It is pretty nifty, since it has the crouch walk from Peace Walker and 4.

It just pales in comparison to the Vita version pretty much being exactly the same as the console HD versions along with having MGS 2 packaged along with it.

Yeah, its a great port of a great game, it just got overshadowed bad when the HD Collection was announced before it even released.

I am absolutely not grinning at this horrible, horrible thing I came up with.

THE TIIIIIIME HAS COME TO AN END!!!

YEEAAAAAHHHH, THIS IS WHAT KONAMI PLAAAANNED!!

I really want to play MGS on PS 3, but I'm not linking my bank details to my PS 3 nor am I splurging on the Legacy collection.

It's the only MGS game I have no access to - I'm buying 4 soon, and I own 2, 3, MPO and Peace Walker.

As an aside, at least consider watching the Twin Snakes versions of the cutscenes. The voice acting is mostly better, in exchange for everything being way over-the-top even for Metal Gear.

Started playing Rising today. It's a lot of fun.

Am I the only one who thinks Sundowner looks like the Goombas from the Super Mario Bros. movie?

I never saw it that way.... . hunh

So Donna Burke says that Kojima isn't fired after all.

Yeah, everyone says that the PS 1 version is better, but I played the PC version for a little bit and Mei Ling's voice is... off. I'm willing to play the less atmospheric version if I don't have to listen to what sounds like a bordering-on-racist Chinese accent.

As to why I don't continue with the PC version: I'd rather eat a spoonful of plain margarine than use those controls.

I always assumed that he was just in the stages of being fired, and despite still working on the game his fate is sealed. Like of course he's still working on the game, but there's no way he's sticking around after December.

Can't you use a controller on MGS 1 PC? Just use your DS 3.

You don't have to use sketchy online-only apps to do that anymore.

I don't have a Dualshock 3, but I could still try the controller I do have.

MotionInJoy should work with the DS3, but the controls are probably going to require manual mapping. I played with a really old Logitech gamepad though, so it might be different.

That said, the PC version only supports one USB controller at a time, regardless of the ports used.

On another note, has anyone come up with a fix for the stealth camo in the PC version? Having the FPS count fall through the floor and having the graphics glitch out even more than usual is not fun.

Motion In Joy is a really sketchy program, it installs unsigned drivers, only works online and phones home for who knows why.

I used it back in the day and it used to crash my system.

There's a Xinput wrapper for the DS 3 now, so there's really no reason to ever use it anymore. I assume it works with the Six Axis, but I'm not sure.
