Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

[e-mailio estevez]

It's fine on my rig (i7 2600 2.40 GHz, GTX670, 16GB ram), I'm playing with all ultra settings flares galore, and I didn't measure FPS, but it's not an issue so far. But the thing that i hate the most is Kiefer Suterland. Nothing against him, but looks like I'm playing Jack Bauer.

Kiefer Sutherland is a brilliant actor but I also have a problem with him being in the game. He isn't suited to play this character. I'm hopeless when it comes to Metal Gear lore, but wasn't Snake played by someone else?

It reminds me of when Ubisoft announced Michael Ironside wouldn't be playing Sam Fisher any more in the Splinter Cell games, and people went crazy.

I do kinda miss the raspy David Hayter voice but in Peace Walker it was laughably bad. It's probably a good thing Kiefer is replacing him.

Part of the reason I love Hayter's Snake is because of how over-the-top and campy he is. He's a ridiculous Kurt Russel parody; every line delivered is dripping with Snake-isms, and a big part of what makes the character. I've only watched a bit of MGS5 on youtube, but to me, Kiefer's portrayal is way too subdued and it just doesn't fit.

I mean, there's just no replacing this:

When you say kurt russel, that would probably a better fit for a replacement.

 

[dunno lah]

This thread made me aware that the teaser was out; just "finished" the mission, solid little game. Says I'm 10% in, but what do the other 90% consist of?

Side Ops, Challenges in both difficulties, Collecting badges etc.

Running this on a cheap shitty laptop and even with some of the settings on (extra) high I'm managing to get a steady majestically cinematic 30 fps.

Rumor says The Phantom Pain will release on February 24th 2015. Major retailers got that date, as well as the MS store:

Perhaps that's why they moved Bloodborne into March and Twitcher 3 into May, 'cause they know a big motherfucker will occupy February.

Me, of course, will have no other choice but to D1P.

LET THE WORLD FEAR US ALL...
IT'S JUST MEANS TO AND END!

Kurt Russel parody; every line delivered is dripping with Snake-isms,

So, where this grond zeroes fall in the stealth rank ?

 

[Jick Magger]

The sneaking feels like a natural advancement from what we got in MGS4, just with legitimately open environments now and an even more fluid moveset for Snake. The game's significantly beefed up the penalty for getting caught now though. There's no alert/evasion/caution meter anymore, and Snake's got a healthbar roughly comparable in size to the one you have at the beginning MGS1, so unless you immediately lose the guards you'll get shot to pieces in relatively short order.

 

[Invictus]

It is Damn good Silva; makes the sneaking of the other games (but Snake Eater) feel prehistoric in comparison.

 

[dunno lah]

...However, losing the guards is extremely easy in open spaces thanks to sprinting. The guards are also still not very perceptive towards sound or noise, whether or not it can be excused by use of a sneaking suit or improper volume levels. As with previous games, I am expecting an Extreme difficulty mode for TPP.

That is some seriously slick shit. Wonder how many times before he figured out a pattern?

"May 201V be a happy and great year for you!"

May, or may not mean May. You teasing cunt you, Hideo.

In any other case, I would say this is definitely May 2015. But we are talking about Kojima san here.

 

[Morgoth]

May 5th would be a Tuesday.

Oh, I get it:

0V.0V.201V

I have seen through your trickery Hideo Haha!!!

 

[Echo Mirage]

There was talk of a new trailer, possibly for GDC 2015 with is March 2-6.



Also steam sometimes has something interesting.

Funny as it may be, I hope KojiPro fixes the enemies' awareness of vehicles. At the very least, have them look at where the jeep is approaching from.

 

[Perkel]

ok this was awesome.
