Popular Post toxicitizen Posted September 20, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 So, is this the first time that a year's GOTY has been decided before the year even begins? I mean, I seriously doubt anyone is going to top an eye patch-wearing dog. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Well, I'm confident in saying that Metal Gear franchise since at least MGS1 to all main series games has been solid. I think the only one that didn't have as much punch was MGS2 due to the very sudden appearance of Raiden (Otherwise the game played fine). So yeah, Metal Gear is the exception to the rule of being cautious. Doesn't mean that I don't have my doubts but then again... this is Metal Gear. Inspired isn't it. EDIT: Holy balls balls balls Snake climbs up a wall, rock climbing Assassin's Creed style. Can we do this on any surface?! You can have buddies who are in the game world. Rainbow Six style you can command them to wait, strike targets (people or objects eg explosives) on your command, or scout ahead (they will tag enemies along the way). There are many versions of Snake's prosthetic arm, which can all do different things. The only one we know of is one which can electrocute people, stunning them. Whoooo mama. I also got time to watch this. That was a fun watch, especially working with Quiet. Having her presence being something like a Predator? Yes. Having her knocking off a helmet so you can get an instant KO shot? Yes... Having her shoot a grenade so it flies towards a helicopter? Holy fuck yeah. DD should be a bit more subdued but I imagine her/him has a headphone so you can more or less command DD like you can with Quiet.Also I never considered that enemies can pop the balloons. In multiplayer during the Motherbase missions, does the two player ever have a chance to see each other? If so then that means the home team can start shooting the balloons out of the sky. It should be interesting. lastly, the walls... I think you got to see cracks on the walls in order to climb them. I wonder if you can climb trees... either way, I think rockclimbers are having a hard on. Edited September 21, 2014 by MaliciousH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) So, is this the first time that a year's GOTY has been decided before the year even begins? I mean, I seriously doubt anyone is going to top an eye patch-wearing dog. CoD Ghosts Dog eat your fucking heart out. I goddamn love all dogs but seriously, I would throw tons of money at an illegal backyard dog fight between DD and the CoD Ghosts Dog. DD would tear it to shreds. I don't even care that this is basically fan fiction on a forum thread. Fuck y'all. I'm out. DD all the way. @MH: Yeah, Kojima confirmed the other day (during the dog presentation I think) that the rock climbing is a non-standard shortcut. It'll be in a number of locations, hopefully including buildings, but not everywhere. Would be a really nice alternative to crawling through air vents. The level design is just so obviously going to be unreal. Like Thief: Deadly Shadows/Splinter Cell Chaos Theory unreal.

Mal Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Okay, I've gave the PC port a run. With my old setup, I can at least match the PS4 version. More tweaking to come on this front. The only thing so far is that it seems to be capped at 30fps (no big deal) and that the menus doesn't work with just the mouse. I can use the wasd keys to navigate and left mouse click to select though. So it's not all bad but there could be true mouse support. Also it is a bit awkward with M+KB. This and PP are going to be so amazing in a few years time. Max out the settings and downsample to get rid of all jaggies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 The 30FPS bit is weird. PS4 solid 60, 1080p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I'm 100% sure it's not capped at 30FPS. I think it might be capped at 60 but not 30. Check in your settings, Mister Jack Malicious. If it's capped at 30 for you then there's probably an option somewhere to change that.But yeah, sounds like it's a really well-optimized port. Bodes well for my ability to run it on my shitty GPU. Can't wait for my new parts to get here! Edited December 19, 2014 by FLD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I think I'm just confused by the "Auto" option for the FPS option. The other option is 30 FPS lock. Other than that and some odd UI choices, it runs great on my aged machine (5-6 years old tech). I dare say this is the best Japanese PC port to date which also puts many Western ports to shame. This will sound lame but seriously, based Kojima Production. If you got some new parts, I say just blast it on max to see how it goes. If it runs fine, start downsampling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yeah, "auto" just means it automatically runs at whatever framerate it can, while 30 fps lock locks it to 30. That option would be for people whose machines can't get up to 60 and don't like the stutter that comes from running at in-between rates.

toxicitizen Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Hahahahaha holy shit, I need to pay closer attention to people's usernames. I think the avatar threw me off, for some reason. Sorry, Mal! If you got some new parts, I say just blast it on max to see how it goes. If it runs fine, start downsampling. Yeah, I'll definitely give it a shot. But my GPU is pretty dated and not being upgraded so I think that's going to severely limit my ability to push the game. I'd expect that, at best, I'll be able to match PS4's visuals. I'd be willing to turn them down a bit in favor of a solid 60 FPS, though.

toxicitizen Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Damnit, what am I supposed to do now?! Announce that release date already, Kojima! Soon would be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Wasn't there a leak for like... February or March? Not sure if that was ever confirmed/denied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 If we're thinking of the same thing, I think that was debunked. It didn't seem too likely to begin with since, if it was coming that early, they would've announced the date by now. This is Konami's cash cow after all, you can bet they wanna ride that hype train all the way to the bank. Plus, I think a Konami rep straight up denied it on NeoGAF. I think the earliest we can expect it is early summer, like MGS4. I'd love to be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah that's what I figured, but, if there was someone who'd just drop a game out of nowhere, it'd be Kojima. But you're probably right, this is all Konami has besides their action figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I'm really worried we're looking at a "holidays" 2015 release. It'll be the most horrible wait in videogame history for Uncharted 4 and The Phantom Pain. Possibly outmatched by the wait for Red Dead Redemption. Christ, that was horrible.

toxicitizen Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Looks like someone at IGN screwed up big time and let the cat out of the bag a day early. It's great to finally have a date but goddamn I was hoping the June rumors were true. Now we just need those system requirements and confirmation that it's a simultaneous release for all platforms, including PC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I was hoping for day and date but I was expecting a lot worse than 2 weeks. Rising was almost an entire year late. Ground Zeroes was 9 months late. 2 weeks is a pretty small gap by comparison. That two weeks is gonna be hell, though. Gonna have to stay off the internet because you just know spoilers are gonna be all over the goddamn place.

TCP Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I guarantee the PC port will get delayed. Guaran-fuckin-tee it. I hope I'm wrong for your guys sake. Also I will be posting spoilers in status updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
