, posted Wed 29 Jan 15:04
Source, www.vandal.net, article here, Spanish: Kojima's talked about MGS3 with Famitsu and he said that he didn't want to do a 3rd "chapter" but he decided it at the fans' request. Another reason would be that they'd wanna make a technological leap as MGS2 supposed to MGS, so they'd have to really use all the potential from the console (PS2). But most important, he said that they want it to suppose a real change from MGS2, not only technologically, so they'll try new different paths....
After that multiplayer possibility that he mentioned a while ago, and now this... well, guess we can only wait and see what happens...
PS: sorry for my translations from translations, you'll surely be able to find it better translated elsewhere...
Himawari chan ain't she cute?
Stick a fork in us we're done.

Having beaten MGS2 recently, I must say that I think that MGS2 is nowhere near as bad as I've heard a lot of people say. In fact, I like it slightly more than the original MGS. And MGS2's story made me want a third chapter all the more. I'm hyped about a MGS3, to say the least...
In terms of gameplay, MGS2 was a damn near religious experience for me. It was just like the first, only more refined in absolutely every way possible. The story seems far more rooted in science fiction, than MGS which tried to draw a LITTLE from science fact, anyway, but there's nothing wrong with that! I like to suspend my disbelief.
The problem comes in when the game makes three new loose ends for every one it ties up, and yet... Kojima didn't want a third game? Cripes! Would he really leave us hanging like that?
And MGS2 Substance is a disappointment to me. Why? Well, the Meryl involvement was very disappointing to me. I was a huge fan of Meryl after MGS1 and when I heard she'd be in MGS2S, I was thrilled... then... let down. And seeing Raiden in the Grey Fox Ninja outfit made me believe that Grey Fox was in MGS2S in some non-plot mission. Blah! But Kojima never said these things... the fans just blew them out of proportion with rumors and let ourselves down. But what did bother me was the last-minute extraction of the silly skateboard game. Some online reviews had mentioned it but removed mention when Konami took it out of the final release.
Regardless, though, I feel MGS2 was a wonderful game, and Document of MGS2 is a must-have for anyone who liked the game.. and I have faith that MGS3 will be mindblowing. I'm not much for Splinter Cell, and I want a new sneaking game, so MGS3 it'll be, I suppose...

That skateboarding mini-game was ripped directly from evolution skateboarding. Believe me .... the actual game should have been the mini-game..... its not that good. All they did was take that out of substance and stick it into evolution skateboarding itself. I really doubt they would have had the same mini-game in 2 games. Evolution skateboarding was going to sell like crap anyways... so they had to sweeten the deal as much as they could. If you ask me... a better idea would have had a mini-game where you would be in metal gear in a giant-robot- fight thing with other metal gears..... (/me has always wanted to pilot metal gear)

I would love if Konami stopped making these boring MGS, Silent Hill, Winning Eleven and all those Bemani games and focused in more 2D Castlevanias, Contras, Goemons, and Rocketknights; with a Tiny Toon game sometimes too. Not to mention Parodius and Twinbees, that would be heaven.
That makes me the weirdest guy here.
Haha, not at all, and I definitely think a lot of people here share your opinion, but we're certainly in the minority. A new Rocket Knight game would rock me, and a new 2D Goemon would be pretty sweet as well. Since there's a new Gradius, I don't see why there's no new Twinbee or Parodius to speak of, but I can't imagine either of them in 3D as-is! Though, for some reason, I can imagine a behind view Twinbee game like Solar Assault, but more on that in a sec.
I don't think Silent Hill, MGS, or Bemani are boring at all. Silent Hill is probably the least-boring survival horror franchise out there, RE having bored me into not even wanting to rent the newest games in the series. Silent Hill 2 was genuinely creepy, but nowhere near as creepy as the original. I even made a Pyramidhead Halloween costume last year because of SH2... I'd be glad to post pics if anyone wanted to see it. I think for 2003, if no better ideas hit me, I'll probably try to make a better one this year!
Anyway, Bemani is still a lot of fun, namely Punchmania/Fighting Mania, the Hokuto no Ken punching game, and DDR. DDR may not be the deep experience people want out of a game, but it's good, simple, physical fun. And it can be very competetive, too! I like that a lot.
Anyway, the world really needs a new, old-style CV. I wonder how long it'll be before we get it...
And as I was saying before, I had wondered for a while but never asked, does anyone remember Solar Assault? It was a Gradius game, in 3D, from a behind-the-Vic Viper perspective. It was kinda like Starfox. It had a sit-down cabinet, and a flight stick to play with. I remember being freaked out by how weird it was to fight moai heads face to face. Very neat little game, not exactly great, but fun. I could see a Twinbee working like this being kinda cool, but otherwise, I have trouble imagining it in 3D. I still don't like the way Shattered Soldier looks, and...
I'm rambling out of control again! Gotta end the post here...

if you havent read yet:
In a recent interview on Japanese television Hideo Kojima confirmed that work is well underway on the new Metal Gear. Although he refused to mention on what platform(s) the game would be released and whether online play would be available (as has been suggested in the past) he did promised the game would make it's first public appearance at the 2003 E3-show in May!
At the moment it's not very clear what to expect from the new game but in the past Kojima has said that he'd like to do a Metal Gear game set during World War II!
Hideo Kojima in a recent interview with Playstation.com on online play: "even if I did include online elements in my game, I wouldn't just have people downloading movie footage. The online element has to add to this fun gameplay. We won't include online content just because it's there - we'll only include it to make the game more fun"

MGS had a good story, strong characters, and interesting ideas, but the gameplay was just sloppy in a lot of areas. MGS2 had slightly improved but still sloppy gameplay combined with one of the worst videogame plots ever.
"I live on through this arm!"
"Oh yeah? I've got Abe Lincoln's kneecap."
All I can say, is that this had better be the most fucked up game I have EVER played.
I want the game to come with some HUGE all purpose sensor to plug into the system.
I want the general to be saying shit like
"THE BOMB CAN ONLY BE HYDROLUMENESONICALLY DEACTIVATED!!! RAIDEN, CAN YOU INCREASE THE HUMIDITY IN THE ROOM AND TURN ON ALL THE LIGHTS AND SCREAM REAL LOUD!?!?! HURRY, YOUR RUNNING OUT OF TIME, THE ILLUMINATI AI CONSTRUCTS ARE ABOUT TO TIME TRAVEL TO WII AND EFFECT THE GEMOME STRUCTURE!!!!"
 I have to say that I didn't specially dislike the story at first, even with the arm part and stuff, that was more or less what I expected... but it got innecessarily, and ridiculously, too complex, and fake...
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
The hole thing being just a f***ing training ¬¬. Not to mention the all that conspiracy part from the Patriots
End of Spoiler
As a dialog from the game would say it: "This time they've got too far!"
quote:
I loved the gameplay of MGS and MGS2 but the plot of #1 really fell apart near the end and #2 was just bad in general. And I was one of the minority that didn't mind the change to Raiden at all.
I agree with your opinion on the change thing, Radish, it's been well explained enough both argumentally in-game and off-game too (the Sherlock Holmes and Watson stuff...). One thing I didn't like about it though, is that in the end, I think Snake should've been playable again,

since the myth, the legend, loses part of his reputation when he doesn't fight the MG's this time and he loses to Fortune...he's getting old, poor guy

. And character alternation would've been ok.

Well, that's only what he's officially said, but seeing the ending of MGS2, some doubts may appear...

WTF? Meryl isn't in the game, nor the ninja?? -censored-!!!

Well perhaps that'd make a liiiiiittle sense since

, but...
On a side note, I must say that the MG I most liked, having played them all, and got through the last 3 ones, is MG2, such a great game...Many people complained that MGS2 was too similar to MGS; well, MGS is just a 3D version of MG2 with more complex story. Everything's there, the HIND D, the form changing key due to temperature, the running away from soldiers while climbing many stairs, battle in the elevator, etc etc
And good ol' MSX was enough to make this game work...

Am I the only one who thinks that Kojima is overrated?
