A great controller is what it is.You’re entitled to like what you like. I hate that version because tonally it turns a serious story with ridiculous elements into a comical story with even more ridiculous elements. To say nothing of the gameplay imbalances, the music changes, the voice acting quality, and the fact that you had to use a Gamecube controller.
I mean what the fuck even is that
no, it simply has a lot of PS3 based jokes in it and is designed for the system, while also being a pretty big title.
so porting wouldn't be easy, and they would not only need to port, but also remove or replace a lot of jokes and easterggs.
like you can change the controller port during the Mantis fight, and if you do that there's a whole codec call where they tell you that this isn't MGS1, and that this doesn't work here.
or as you go down the stairs in Shadow Moses, where on PS1 there was a disc change, Otacon will call you and tell you to switch discs, until he remembers that you're playing on a PS3 which uses Blu-ray technology
there are other smaller and bigger things with PlayStation eastereggs and PS3 specific jokes and homages.
the controls would also need slight adjustments, like shaking the Dualshock 3 would change your camo quickly.
then the dialog would need to be rerecorded for button promts, because characters will literally tell you to press certain Dualshock 3 buttons if I remember correctly.
so in short, the issue with MGS4 is 1: it's a game designed for the exotic CPU of the PS3 and 2: it is full of PS3 system specific jokes, eastereggs and spoken dialog
More like Ground Zeroes. The emotional impact of seeing Mother Base destroyed is non existent if you didn't spend 100s of hours putting everything together in PW. The relationships with Paz and Chico have more depth too.
Ehh, no, it would be an actual challenge to port that over to modern hardware. That's why it hasn't been at all and why it's only been on cloud streaming services if you could play it at all.
It made MGS1 way too easy (see: The Ocelot fight in first person) and then there were the ridiculous over the top cutscenes (even more over the top than usual).
Great, so they should put money and resources into solving that challenge
Waste of time and effort when you can just stream it on the Cloud.
Thats a terrible solution. Cloud games look awful and feel bad to play
I'm not saying it's good or bad. But that's the solution that will most likely play out.
Don't hold your breath, we all know how half-arsed Sony are when it comes to their B.C titles, there are a TON of them from the PS-1 and 2 days that could be ported over to the PS5 with a fresh lick of paint but no.....that's why I am more appreciative of the efforts Microsoft did in bringing the likes of Burnout Revenge and Panzer Dragoon Orta to today's systems...(classic saying they don't make em like they used to and those 2 titles you can't find equivalent of today)
Yeah Cerny was brought in to lead the PS4. Though, if I remember correctly, he did have some input on the PS3 as well.
The reason is because Konami
What if I told you MGS had a Windows 98 port?
It will be coming to the latest platforms. So probably PS5, Xbox Series, Switch, and PC.
I've played that version, but honestly I don't remember how they handled that part because I played it so long ago.
Me too. Playing MGS with mouse and keyboard. Looking back I don't know how I ever managed it.
