Platinum Games said they are treating the PS3 version as the "lead" platform but unlike Bayonetta, both versions will be treated equally and they won't be outsourcing the Xbox 360 version to another studio.

Good to know.

They'd also be the first ones in line to bitch if the title was actually canceled.

ugh

I dunno about any of this, honestly.

I'm going to try like this but I doubt it.

Everything I've seen since P* took over is pure platinum encased in gold. This game looks awesome. Might be better than Bayonetta.

RoXer, why do you force yourself to stomach games? If it looks so-so just ban that shit from your shopping list. Or maybe you just love gaming in general that much?

I love this series a lot. It doesn't look like I'll be a fan of this game but I'll try.

Looks ok, but strays too far from MGS IMO... Not really a fan of Japanese Super Sword Ninja shizzle either if i'm frank.

I wouldn't even recommend this to somebody going through a MGS binge, this is a spin-off in every sense of the term. I like seeing the Metal Gear universe through a different lens, though.

WRONG

It's not Solid, it's RISING.

WRONG

It's a spin-off in a gameplay sense, sure, but the story picks up a few years after 4.

I don't think this story will have any serious effects on Solid's mythology. You can probably ignore it completely and it won't handicap your understanding of the eventual MGS5. It's pseudo-canon, which is fine. I'm saying this as a fan; I don't think you should see this as a follow-up to MGS4, even if it does technically take place after it.

Sort of like how SoulCalibur Legends, which takes place after SC2, is completely avoidable as far as story is concerned.

I suppose we can sort all that out once we actually, you know, play it.

Sort what out, nigga?

The actual story itself

Okay.

Can't wait for this spin-off.

I'm approaching it like I did Bayonetta. Just enjoying the fantastic gameplay, and not expecting much from the story and dialogue.

i dont wanna sound like a queer or nothin but Depeche Mode rocks!

FUCK

Just sold my ps3

It's just Japan. I'm sure those 2 people will be devastated.

Now if they do that in the west, there will be fucking hell to pay.

Yeah still coming out in the West. Seems weird to can it just for one country though, guess the Japanese just aren't interested.

Just read that Konami have pretty much stopped supporting the 360 in Japan altogether. Silent Hill HD isn't even coming out for 360 over there and neither is Downpour.

Chillax.

Their problem, not ours.

Highly doubt it will affect the West considering Konami released the MGS collection on he Xbox 360 along with the PS3. Sales-wise, the Xbox 360 is pretty close to the PS3 version overall.

Then again since the PS2 era games, Japan has been pretty much behind Europe and the West when it comes to sales on the Playstation brand. Don't think even MGS 4 managed to break a million in Japan.

Even the MGS game on the Gamecube sold better outside of Japan and that was just a remake of MGS 1 while the PSP games besides Peacewalker bombed in Japan.

Maybe MGS is, ironically, too Western for them? Kojima said long ago that the series is like a love letter to Western theme and style.

Hideo Kojima recently expanded on a few of the games details with the big one being how the day/night cycles ends up being the entire basis for the game.

Missions and areas will be restricted based on the time of the day while the clock itself is based on the console/PC own clock since there is no in-game clock. 1 minute of real-time is equal to the same minute in-game. Its similar in design to a game like Animal Crossing than in GTA for clock purposes.

I remember Rogue Squadron on the GCN having a real time day/night cycle for a training stage. I fucking loved it. I believe there was a Madden where you could set time and weather to real time so playing on a rainy was just that in game?

More games should do this.

I'll replace it with an English version when it pops up.

Grey Fox skin is the pre-order bonus from Gamestop.

Konami also released a new batch of screenshots (16 in total).

hot.

Won't be buying. Looks like something I would never buy, rent or even play if I had the chance.

Well done?

Well I'm a moderate fan of the Metal Gear Universe, but this one is just not for me. MGS4 is the last I played and enjoyed. On top of that, I thought I'd post my comment in the thread relating to what I wanted to comment on. So yes, saving the £40, a well done.
