Metal Gear Solid V

Man I'm getting hyped again for this. I really hope the online is as epic as MGO2 was. Ground Zeros performed amazingly on my PC and looked really good, too. Controls needed some work, though and I hope they remove that damn framerate cap.

I'm expecting this to be a worthwhile purchase especially given the prices of all the digital retailers these days competing with each other.

My only problem is which platform to get this on. Have MGS:GZ on PC and probably will get it on PC, but am I right in saying that the PC version is being released afterwards? Don't know if I could manage holding out, if so.

What are people's thoughts on the Hayter/Sutherland situation now, over a year after GZ?

Personally, I think I'll only be okay with it if BB and SS cross paths at some stage in phantom pain and hayter voices SS. Sutherland does a fine job as snake, but this is the last true metal gear game we'll get, why get rid of hayter now?

They're showing a new trailer for this at E3. Surprised we're getting another one.

No Kiefer?

Hopefully there wasn't some end game scenes in that trailer. Kojima has a good track record for spoiling

40 min demo on IGN

Watched all of that vid, my hype levels are now the drill that will pierce the heavens!

So the general rumours floating around right now is that .

Just watched that E3 trailer. Everything looks so good. It's really the tactical freedom I've always wanted... I just play better when I can do things my own way. The weapon custmisation and freedom to pick and choose where, when and how you approach missions is very player-empowering in the ways that matter most.

That said... I'm pretty bummed the fulton recovery is back. I guess it would be ok for when all enemies are incapacitated, mission complete etc and you're just gathering stuff for MB. But for it to be be used really close to enemies like that just makes a joke of the stealth aspect. You don't need to hide bodies properly anymore.

Worst of all he (the presenter) used fulton recovery on a target when he was right next to anti-air! In case anyone doesn't know... FR relies completely on a plane passing by. I can get over the game being unrealistic in so many ways as to even use FR in this way... but for anti-air artillery to not even reduce the effective range of it seems totally wrong. This is the kind of thing that will make the game way too easy for me. I guess I could just go in naked with a knife and rambo takedown entire bases, though.

Or they just make FR a commodity not to be used on any ole soldier/equipment but saved for priority and valuable targets. I somehow think that would just make getting FR a grind... one that would be boring to do but you'd do it because again... it makes missions pretty easy and you'd be dumb not to stock up on it.

Or... just make anti-air actually work.

It was hard to watch the presenter try and aim with a gamepad during the action. There was some heavy aim-assist going on at the second half of the battle as well as that slow-motion which made Big Boss nearly do a 180 turn instantaneously, automatically and left the player's reticle center-body. From what I played of GZ, you can turn off all these features. My only wish is that you get some kind of XP or rating bonus (that manifests in the form of resources in the end somehow) because making a game difficult yourself for difficulties sake is fine with me but it's much nicer to have a reward for playing old school... especially when half of the features you're turning off are just to compensate for inaccurate controls and slow reaction times from the player.

I only mention this criticism because I think the rest of the game looks insanely good and I'm really hyped for it... but these things really can totally spoil the rest of an amazing game. I've seen it happen before and it's always a shame.

Was that ....Sniper Wolf in that trailer O_O

skullface is an alter-ego/projection of Big Boss. Seen some convincing arguments and Kiefer Sutherland said in an interview "I almost blew it, I almost told you something I'm really not allowed to." just as he was about to reveal his experience with facial motion capture... which suggest he did facial capture for more than one character.

.

Makes absolutely no sense, which for MGS means it's perfectly possible.

Just watched this...



I haven't played a Metal Gear game since MG2 and this trailer has me hyped for reasons unknown to me. I watched a recap video of the past games and have the basic gist of the storyline. But if this is set after Peacewalker (1980s) then why is Big Boss and Ocelot on the same team here? Assuming thats Ocelot in the red. Wasn't Ocelot working for the Patriots and Big Boss was working against the US in Outer Heaven? Or have i just mixed some **** up

I would really advise playing MGS3 at least if you have the time just because it's a fantastic game.

Would if I could but I only have a PC and PS4 at the moment

Trying to get into Ground Zeroes but I just can't get used to the control scheme & I often end up getting caught while moving a body or that.
I saw the TGS & E3 demoes of Phantom Pain and gave it another go but no luck
Any advice?

Survey the area with binoculars as much as possible, and repeatedly. It'll mark enemies and keep track of them. Get to high places if possible and survey the area.
Take a bit of time to work out enemies paths. You'll be able to see where the best place to take them out are to minimise having to move bodies, or even where you might be able to sneak around them and avoid taking them out altogether.
Lure enemies into areas by getting enough within their sight that the white arc appears on the screen (but not enough that the camera goes slo-mo). They'll generally walk over to investigate what they saw.
