Metal Gear Solid 4

Read what I said again and you will understand I wasnt talking about MGS and that is why I didnt mention it and anyway i have never read anything about the size of Metal gear being why it wont be released on xbox, they could make it on more than one disc it has been done with other games in the past. Hideo Kojima said the metal gear series were made for the playstation and the playstation grew up with the games and vice versa.

This game will be bigger than GTAIV

Mark my words!!!

I'm not making it a competition!

I embrace all good games!

MGS4 does look the business though, can't wait for it!

Maybe that's why half the games on the 360 have short story lines?!

Games like GTA IV and Oblivion have huge storylines Court.

Go and read it up. I'm 100% sure that the reason why MGS4 can't come out on the Xbox 360 is because the game has far too much detail for the Xbox 360 to read...

Surely it can't be as big as Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and GTA? Which both the 360 and PS3 run.

I had Elder Scrolls Oblivion but I gave it to my brother who was absolutely hooked on it.  I didn't know it was a long game play game so I apologize!

The graphics in it were spot on & the game play was really good.  So what's been the problem so far?  People waited for the likes of Halo 3 for years to come out & the story was so short, it was unbelievable.  Games like Assassins Creed, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent!  So short.

These were also on the PS3 weren't they?

Gear of War had a decent run.

I think Oblivion had over 200 hours of gameplay and the map stretched 16 square miles. Then the expansion the Shierving Isles added about 5 miles to it and 30+ hours gameplay.

Thing is with the short story lines on games such as COD4 is because they are all spread out on different maps, so each mission is on a new bit of data. With GTAIV all the missions are on one big map so you can make the story line as long as you like aslong as it's on the same map.

It's not about the story lines though, it's about the size of the adventure you get in a game.

Got to say I was pretty disappointed with the Metal Gear Online beta trial on the PS networkl.

I hope the single player game is as impressive as it could be.

What you played MGO for the copy of MGS4 ?
For sure the story line will be awsome!

It looks pretty good like! I've threw me pre-order on it today! Should be sound!

Hoping to get a review copy of this game...so I'll let you know what I think of it then.

Anyone bought it then?

Here is some random gameplay before it gets taken off.

Yeah I have it but Im afraid it is shockingly sh*t. The control system in the game is over zealous to say the least and I found the cut scene gameplay inter sequence thourally frustrating. After the dreadful showing from Haze and now this Im afraid both games can only seal the nail in the coffin for the PS3 as a games console. Yeah Yeah I know some fanboys out there will argue that the PS3 is the greatest thing since sliced bread, but its sadly lacking as a games console especially when you through in the multiplayer aspect. The multiplayer aspect for Metal Gear 4 is quite frankly non existant it has been out 24 hours and I cant even contect to a game yet it just keeps crashing out. Have to say if you were a fan of the previous version then give a try for a week from blockbuster but if you want to buy it save your money and buy a couple of blu ray movies instead.

I had already had a go of the MGS multiplayer in the demo on the store a few weeks back and knew that wasn't going to be impressive.  I wouldn't say the nail has been fired in to the PS3 coffin.  It has outsold the XBox 360 and it has a lot of excellent multiplayer titles which can be played free of charge.

Heard good and bad now on MGS4 single player so I may fire it up for a rental first.

Seems like its going the way of Marmite.

I'm playing it now! I'll be the first on here to say I love it! Being a MGS fan helps like; anyone who loved the others will buy it and everyone else will either love it or hate it! Plus they won't have a clue regarding the storyline!

The control system is different, but I got used to it after a little while! I find it quite easy to use!

The cut scenes are lengthy as ever but when you're into the story then it's not that much of a problem!

Haven't played online yet, but me mates well into it! Hasn't been off it for the past two days, absolutely loves it!

Marmite it is then I reckon!

Have to say Pragmatic, are you crazy?? I'll agree with the controls being abit different to start with (once your used to them there fine) but this game is absolutely fantastic. I have played SP now for 10hrs and they story is excelllent!! (yes there are cut scenes but when there this good with the excellent story) I love watching them (you can skip them if you want tho) but some of them are breathtakin (fight scene end of act 2!!)

JD, the Beta wasnt the best and I am yet to go online with it but i've heard that it has improved massivly and they have a perk system like CoD so you can make your player more to how you want to play (there is a speed perk as in the beta it was slow)

2nd best game i've played on PS3 so far (Behind CoD)

(have to had i'm not a massive MGS fanboy either, only ever Played MGS2 Sons of Liberty)

Excellent game.

Pain in the arse trying to get online on it!

Completed it!

Excellent stuff! And I'm online properly now, which is mucho fun!

Anyone in a clan on it, if they play online mind!

I've made a clan on MGO if anyone's interested.

Funny enough my first recruit on it was a Kopite scouser, which was uncanny! It's called Desert Badger and it's basically a wind up name but we want to kick anus on it!

Let us know if you're joining!

Really funny video made by a load of online players. Really clever stuff some of it too!
