He thinks it might be 'a little behind compared to games made exclusively for next-gen', though if what we've seen in the trailers is his idea of 'a little behind', then I'm reassured.

There have already been complaints about the graphics not being pretty and "next-gen" enough :downs:

New gameplay demo, this time taking place in a daytime mission

I don't know Japanese so I'm going to assume they were playing at the absolutely easiest difficulty.

It's good to see that Kojipro is making sure the English version retains the same quality of the original Metal Gear Solid dub, for a moment I was worried we might have had good VA this time around.

It's probably just we're all used to hearing David Hayters increasingly ridiculous growl. After an hour of gameplay I'm sure he'll be fine.

David Hayter's growl can be pretty terrible, especially post-MGS2, but Sutherland sounded really disinterested throughout this new trailer, and he botched the "Kept you waiting, huh?" line pretty badly. Weirdly enough, he had actually managed to nail the previous trailers.

EDIT: Skullface is the worst though. Had to be an intern.

Kiefer sounded fine outside of the "kept you waiting, huh?" which sounded incredibly weird.

keptyouwaitingHUH?!!?

I really wonder why that line wasn't re-recorded and what prompted Sutherland (not my favorite actor, but not exactly a bad one either) to deliver it that way. It almost sounded like he was being pressed for time, or trying to match the lips movement.. except the facial capture is based on his acting performance :psyduck:

Apparently, over on NeoGAF it has been confirmed that the EU versions of Ground Zeroes don't have the Shinkawa reversible cover :(

That's really disappointing, Shinkawa's art is the best thing about the whole Metal Gear series.

Can someone give me a rundown of the new health system and how it works in practice in the game? I've watched a playthrough, but the guy was simply too good and never got hurt in the first place :( (which is pretty rare for Let's Plays, now that I think about it).

fivegears4reverse seems to genuinely not enjoy metal gears story or the way Kojima writes, so why keep consuming more of the same?

Might be he enjoys the game parts or enjoys the stories despite the flaws? Besides, that's kind of a lovely way to deflect criticism, dude.

If you've already played the other games, then, uh, do whatever you want? I mean, Metal Gear Rising is an action game that plays in the same fiction as Metal Gear Solid, but besides that, I'm not sure it actually fits in any particular slot if you're doing a "whole series playthrough" or anything of that ilk.

What point have you reached? Parrying is *the* fundamental fighting mechanic of the game, and I really would suggest you to try and practice it on mooks until you get the hang of it. You absolutely don't need to stand still to pull it off though!

It was a cool trailer, but it further confirms that they're taking Metal Gear into even deeper grimdark territories, welp.

Dexo posted:

To be fair, haven't almost all of the MGS trailers been serious and grimdark before launch.

Not to the point of putting child soldiers and knife fights in their trailers, I don't think. Granted, my memory is fuzzy (I'll check the old trailers later), but if I recall correctly how they were presented before release, Metal Gear Solid 2 was all about Snake escaping from the Tanker and replacing Raiden on Big Shell, with the snippets of cutscenes shown being less blood diamond-y and more pulp spy stuff, and Metal Gear Solid 3 was all about showing off the jungle and the 60s vibe. Metal Gear Solid 4 might have been grimdark, though I can't help but remember the Raiden trying to assassinate Snake to become the protagonist stuff.

People should announcing fan remakes before they're done, otherwise they're just begging for a C/D letter

If you're trying to recruit it's pretty necessary to announce what you're doing, otherwise you'll get 0 buzz and interest. That said, these projects are always a bad idea, 9 times out of 10 (statistics coming from my fat arse) they get C&Ds, and that one project that doesn't will not be completed anyway because coordinating projects on that kind of scale is really difficult, especially if you don't have the experience.

Yep, they had official written authorization from Konami.

Are you sure they had actual written authorization? From what I read on Eurogamer (I think?) the agreement was purely verbal, which means it probably was no agreement at all and Konami, as a company, had yet to give its official opinion on the matter.

Did you guys already discussed the English version of this video to death? Because I kinda dig Sutherland's performance here, even though I have difficulties associating his voice with super-goofy Hideo Kojima character BIG BOSS:

I don't remember if the Collector's includes DLC, but if it does, you might only be able to redeem the codes on the UK SEN store.

I hope/think Del Toro, Kojima, and Reedus have enough star power combined to collaborate on something else. I mean I really liked Silent Hill 2 but the series really isn't the most creative thing out there.

In the same audio recording, Del Toro basically goes on to say that now his focus is 100% directing. The man has been burned twice while attempting to work on videogames, so I can't really blame him.
