The Official Metal Gear Solid- Portable OPS thread

[Electro UK]

Well with this game just months away (well for you American bastards anyway, the rest of us have to wait a whole gawdamnend year) I thought it was time to set a thread up for this what with a new trailer out. So what we've got is a side game, a sequal to Snake Eater Six years after those events.

You play as Big Boss again, plus a number of other characters that are featured in Snake Eater and some new ones. Snake seems to be some sort of traitor once again from what we can tell from the 1st video and must redeem himself. Ocelot, Zero, Eva, Paramedic and Signt are all back, plus the 1st appearance of Roy Campbell and the 1st ninja.

All in all it should AWESOME. A sequals already in development, this will easily be the best game on the PSP for a long time, if not forever. Its nice to know this means MGS will be carrying on on PSP past GOTP no matter what happens in that.

This game will rock. :up:

I think we have three other threads on this rather unimpressive game already :dry:

[Electro UK]

No, we have 2 threads that are on the exact same topic about only 1 trailer of the game. This thread however covers the whole game.

If you don't like how the game looks, don't come in here and don't worry about 3 bloody threads. Not exactly the end of the world is it? :whatever:

I'm sick of people constantly trolling in threads about games they don't think look any good.

[CM Punk]

Oh ok. A "MGS Portable Ops trailer released!!" thread = not about the game. Hahahaa :o

Jesus, stop trying to act all tough. If you don't want to talk about the game then piss off. Whole game for this thread, only the one trailer for the other 2 threads...

[CM Punk]

Yes, I'm trying to act tough....on the internet....by pointing out that you created a thread that already existed....multiple times. Yes, that's it. Use the search function and stop spamming boards with threads about the same game. That "new metal gear thread every day" crap died with Liquid Snake's account.

Spamming? Oh yes I'm spamming! That's exactl what I'm wanting to do. Oh no wait, I'm wanting to talk about MGS Portable OPS as a whole, not just one trailer of it. I don't think anyone else has a problem with this thread being here, at the end of the day what the hell does it matter to you?

Did you have a go at Mentok for posting a Portable OPS thread on a trailer Zenin had made a thread on a day before? No. But this thread is talking about the whole game, not just that trailer and your having a go at me for making it? Jesus dude, at the end of the day it doesn't really even matter does it?

Hey dickweed, EUK's doing a favor for asshats like you that complain about every single goddamned thread ever made. You don't like seeing multiple threads about one game? With this thread, future trailers/gameplay vids/articles/etc. will be posted in the The Official Metal Gear Solid- Portable OPS thread, rather than a thread specifically designated for whatever it is that it's regarding.

THANK YOU! Theres nothing more stressfull than getting one of the idiots that feels he can find something wrong with your thread and then flame it to hell in here. :up:

Yeah, this is probably the sole reason I am not selling my PSP at this point.

http://media.teamxbox.com/forum/smilies/lol.gif Gee, you sure showed me, I never saw it like that. Because, you know, you totally can't just post this info in a thread where MGS: Portable OpS discussion is already taking place...like in one of the several threads that existed before this one. Because, you know, we totally need to return to the days of 5 new MGS threads a week. I'm sure glad you graced me with such logic and wisdom. "Dickweed" really drove the point home too. :o

You're a master of over statment. :up:

5 MGS threads a week? I see 4 on this page, 2 of which were on the same trailer so in theory, there only being 3 MGS threads. Now the trailer one will probably die soon due to there being not much else to discuss about the trailer, but the MGS4 one will be sticking around, and maybe this one, depending on whether people want to talk about it or not.

So we should have about 2 MGS threads on this page pretty soon. 2 threads for 2 games coming out. The only 2 MGS games coming out. Did you see a new thread for the new MGS4 trailer? No, it was posted in the official thread. Unless they launch plans for a NEW MGS game, I see no reason for there to be another thread made on the subject of MGS unless its about a past game.

Stop acting like the worlds coming to an end over a couple of threads.

[CM Punk]

I thought "return to the days of" made it fairly clear that I wasn't referring to here and now, but I guess I overestimated the residents of this forum. Whatever though, discuss your game, since everyone's getting their panties in a bunch over someone else's inability to use search.

[Electro UK]

But anyways back on topic, more pics:

[Zenien]

So did anyone else spot the 4 semi hidden characters in the trailer? Psycho Mantis, Grey Fox, Sokolov, and Ocelot

[Electro UK]

I didn't spot Mantis where was he?

[블라스]

I hate the Psp because it gets exclusive characters in cool games, and it's ridiculous.
But then I see this sweet bundle and forget about it.

Yeah its a *****, I bought X-men Legends 2 for the second time on PSP a few weeks back (having it first on GC) I immeadiately regretted buying it on GC in the first place. 10 timesbetter on PSP, 9 extra levels and 4 great new characters (flying with Cannonball is crazilygood).

[블라스]

But how strange it is, that the Psp gets these obviously unfair extras over the console versions...

It makespeople buy both versions is why. One for the multi-player, the other for the exclusives. It works too :(

And videogames.

Don't lie to yourself :(

Fine :mad:

The soldier who is questioning Snake about the meaning of being a soldier spunds an awful lot like Mantis, the second time you hear him in the trailer he tells Snake to 'open your eyes' and they use echoing and visual effects to infer that the character is using some sort of mental powers. Note the character that they use during these sequences looks a lot like the supposed main villian who's picture I am including below. BUT listen to that characters voice during the short gameplay scene where he and Snake are fighting and he doesn't sound like the person who was questioning Snake earlier in the trailer.

At the end of the trailer we hear a voice saying 'let's see who the true sucessor is' 'let's finish this', I'm pretty sure THAT voice belongs to the guy in the Foxhound military uniform and they were using the voice of Mantis to throw people off.

But eitherway, I'm pretty darn sure we hear the voice of one Psycho Mantis. Unless it's just the same voice actor and I end up being totally wrong on this.

1. That was not Psycho Mantis's voice. Psycho Mantis's original Metal Gear Solid voice had a hint of a Russian accent which the voice in Portable Ops lacks. His Twin Snakes voice (performed by the same person, Doug Stone), was a bit more raspier than the voice in Portable Ops.

2. Psycho Mantis suffered from severe burns and disfigurement when he was a child from unleashing his power killing over 1,000 people in his village. The character you mention does not posess such.

3. Psycho Mantis is too young to be in this game. Especially concerning the character you're talking about. At the most he had to have been born during the late 1960's.

4. Psycho Mantis's powers are psychokinesis and telepathy. This guys powers seem to be speed related.

[Zenien]

You might have me on the first three points but you're forgetting that the voices don't match up. :mad:

omg I totally forgot about the history of Mantis. Me = disgraced :(

[hippie_hunter]

No, while it is somewhat similar to Psycho Mantis's voice, that voice is clearly not Mantis's.

[hippie_hunter]

Here's a sample of his Twin Snakes voice, similar yet different

[Zenien]

No, while it is somewhat similar to Psycho Mantis's voice, that voice is clearly not Mantis's.


We'll see about that. :o

EDIT: Still sounds like the same voice actor for sure, and minus the accent, it's pretty much spot on.

Yeah but it's on the PSP and makes heavy use if the wifi and GPS so don't count on a PS2 port ever happening. Just get the PSP version! :o

Roy Cambel

http://www.famitsu.com/game/coming/2006/09/26/h-104_60851_mpo09200.jpg.jpg
Null

Here's the Famitsu translation. Basically it just explains new gameplay features in the game.


Details about new characters and new systems!

"Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops" combines the gameplay system of the "Metal Gear Solid" series with a new "Comrade System" developed specifically for the PSP. Here will be explaining some of the new gameplay systems and introducing some of the new characters. A classic series, now condensed with a different flavor!!

* As an enjoyable action game, it's a firm successor to the MGS series, but with abudance of new elements.
* There will be a variety of boss battles, of which the MGS series is familiar with!
* Compatible with the GPS Receiver currently scheduled to be released for the end of the year.

Introducing young Roy Campbell!

With a stout body, blond hair and a dauntless face. The name of this character making his public debut is Roy. He is none other than Colonel Roy Campbell, Solid Snake's commanding officer in MGS1 and MGS2. How does he meet the original Snake (Big Boss) and what's the relation between the two?

*Comrades from the past are also joining the war!

The appearances of other characters from "Metal Gear Solid 3" in addition to Snake has also been confirmed. Are they just guest appearances? Or are they deeply involved in the story!?


Null, the mysterious boss enemy.

Also presented to the public in addition to Roy is this mysterious man named Null. He appears to be a boss character created to fight against Snake. Armed with a sword and having his lower half of his face concealed in a mask, his appearance is reminecent of the Ninja that appears in MGS1. Could there be a connection?

*Screenshots of other boss battles!

In addition to Null, screenshots showing other bosses besides Null were released. One of the bosses is mounted in what appears to be a flying pod and other is armed with what seems to be Spetsnaz Knives. Are they members of the same organization!?

New System 01: Sound Indicator (tentative name)

An original function is added in this game to the radar system that has been used in the series to know one's surrounding. Now, the radar can detect an enemy's presence and distance even if an enemy does not appear on-screen by visualizing surrounding noises. Since the noises are displayed in the form of colored shapes of waves, even on the PSP's screen.

*The noise out of the small circle determine the distance and direction of enemies.
The big circle over the radar determines enemy's positions. The shape of the waves can determine whether the enemy is in direction where the sound was emitted, what action the enemy is taking and the change of their movement. The color of the waves determined the distance, whether is a short one (red) or long (blue). When the footsteps changes from blue to red, there's a possibility of being discovered.

*The noise within the small circle determines sounds made by the player.
The small circle within the radar determines what sounds the player is making. The shape of the waves are determined by noises made by running or using weapons. Noises can be avoided by stalking or sticking to walls. Keep this in mind when you're in close-range with the enemy.


New System 02: Comrade System
In this game, teams can be made by grouping up to four characters. Snake can gain his comrades through various methods besides recruiting them in the main Story Mode. Here, we 'll be introducing the six typical means of recruiting allies

*Story Mode
In Story Mode, enemy soldiers can be put to sleep by using tranquilizer gun or knocking them out cold. Afterwards, the enemy can be drag into the truck and then try to persuade to join your side.

*Live Combat Mode
In Combat Mode, various player will compete against each other and the winner will deprive the defeated player of their men. In addition, new comrades can be gained from the results in this mode.

*Access Point
By using the wireless LAN function, players can gain access to certain access point located in towns and such as. When the signal reaches a constant strenght, then a single character can be recruited from that peculiar place.

*GPS Receiver
By using the GPS Receiver, one can move to the virtual point displayed on-screen and a comrade can obtained by moving at a constant range. However, only can be found at each place.

*Trading
Using ad-hoc connections, one can trade soldiers with a friend. In addition, one player can be in sleep mode and still trade soldiers in this condition.

*Passwords
It is also possible to build an exclusive circle of friends by using a special password feature. Passwords can be posted and arranged through any form of communication. Watch out when a unique character is announced!

*Comrade's Abilities
Soldiers that are made into comrades have differences in their respective strenght and stamina, and their ablities with weapons are detailed as well. In addition to those good with guns, there are also poor soldiers that are not good with their attacking abilities, but are gifted in reconnassaince, and various other inviduals. Composing teams that make best use of their individuals characteristics is one of the best features in the game.

*Switching Comrades
Even if the whole team is together, only one character can be controlled at a time. Soldiers who are not being controlled or switched from will be hiding inside a cardboard box while inactive. The arrangement of the team will be a strategic in the game.

[hippie_hunter]

I THINK THAT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NULL IS A YOUNG GREY FOX, POSSIBLY 15-16 YEARS OLD :word:

[Zenien]

After doing a bit of research, re-watching the trailer and busting out my MGS1 Official Artbook, yeah, I was on crack about the Mantis thing and the voices not matching up, false alarm guys! :o

[Hudson]

I THINK THAT IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NULL IS A YOUNG GREY FOX, POSSIBLY 15-16 YEARS OLD :word:
could be his father.

Vietnamese mother, German-American father.:o

[hippie_hunter]

Vietnamese mother, German-American father.:o

BUT THE TRAILER MENTIONS THAT BIG BOSS FOUND NULL WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG CHILD AND DROPPED HIM OFF SOMEPLACE. AT THIS PLACE IT IS APPARENT THAT NULL WAS TRAINED IN THE MARTIAL ARTS THAT SEEM SIMILAR TO GREY FOX'S STYLE IN METAL GEAR SOLID.

GREY FOX WAS DISCOVERED BY BIG BOSS WHEN HE WAS A CHILD.

IN METAL GEAR, GREY FOX IS A VERY EXPERIENCED SOLDIER AND FOXHOUND'S BEST. IF HE'S 15-16 YEARS OLD IN PORTABLE OPS THAT WOULD MAKE HIM ABOUT 38-39 YEARS OLD IN METAL GEAR. SOLID SNAKE IS ALSO CONSIDERS GREY FOX TO BE ONE OF HIS MENTORS. HAVING GREY FOX AT THIS AGE WOULD SEEM APPROPRIATE. :dew:

Hmmm according to wikipedia he was born in like 1962.

[Mentok]

I picked up Syphon Filter fro the PSP because I was in hospital... I hated it at first (not a fan of SF anyway) but its actuall pretty nice... Even if the controls take a bit of getting used to. Anyway, it has me looking forward to MGS-PO.

Only problem is I picked up a cheap used PSP on eBay... Now I want the MGS pack... I hope I can get the MGS stuff off eBay or something :up:

It works really well. The DGN proves it.

I hope they do a DGN for Metal Gear 1 and 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.

[Zenien]

Blas missing MGS video FTL :(

I'm not sure HOW he missed it. =|

[Mentok]

I'm not sure HOW he missed it. =|

He is too busy getting ready to move to smelly Canada :( :down

[Zenien]

Canada is cleaner then a lot of other places.

Like Australia. :(

[Mentok]

It still smells :(

[Mentok]

Is this still due to launch in early December?

[Zenien]

You bet, December 13th.

New info:

Source: http://www.metalgearsolid.org/show_news.php?id=856

Konami of America has officially confirmed that Metal Gear Solid : Portable Ops will be released in North America on December 12th, 2006. As previously mentioned, EB Games & Gamestop is offering a limited edition protective casting for PSP as a pre-order special.

The official Konami website (http://www.konami.com/Konami/ctl3810/cp20113/si1788952/cl1/metal_gear_solid_portable_ops) also has updated their MPO page with a new box cover image, which is quite likely the final box art for NTSC release.

Unfortunately NTSC & quite likely PAL fans will not get a chance to buy the MPO Premium packages being released in Japan on December 21st, 2006. The only method of acquiring these packages in these regions is to either buy it from http://www.konamistyle.jp (http://www.konamistyle.jp/) or use an Asian import website.

According to the Developer Diary article in December PSM Issue 117, here is a list of the new voice actors in MPO:

Dwight Schutz (Played Capt. Murdock in the famous 80s show, The A-Team)
Tara Strong (of Eternal Darkness fame)
Steve Blum (of Psychonauts fame)
David Agranov
Noah Nelson

[Electro UK]

Pretty sucky cover imo, hopefully us UKians will get a different one with more of that orgasmic artwork we get on our variants.

*drools* THE GRAPHICS *drools*

[Boom]

Snake's new sneaking suit would be perfect if it weren't for those stupid yellow rings.

[Morg]

Substance D, take a hike and Electro UK is right this is the Portable OPS thread not the insult thread. Carry on....without the insults this time

[Zenien]

The characters will all have a camo rating depending on their clothes but I don't think we'll see switching. EVer shot we've seen of Big Boss seems to be in his sneaking suit.

[Mentok]

I want to make love to this game :(

[Morg]

Final warning, Substance D or I'll boot you myself

[C. Lee]

He's been warned several times....I'll give him a couple days off.

[Morg]

Ah I see, C Lee. Next time put in in his profile so I'll know :p

[Electro UK]

Seeing that cover, I might hold out till theUK release, we'll probably get a different case, and we have a record of getting better MGS cases than you yanks. :cmad:

[SpideyLad]

I want Portable OPS, but that would mean getting a PSP, which I just can't afford:(

[Zenien]

MGS: PO = Killer App

Pick one up off eBay. You can get used ones pretty cheaply now.

I just have.......

These really are cheap......You annoying little...

[Electro UK]

We need more screenshots :( People have played it now, they say its awesome. The latest I've head is if it sells well (which it's basically guaranteed to do), a second is definately on the way, which would be after GOTP came out, maybe the PSP would get its own Portable OPS trilogy, that'd rock. :up:

[SpideyLad]

When's it due out over here?

[Electro UK]

When's it due out over here?

September :(:( Teh gayness

[SpideyLad]

September :(:( Teh gayness

Someone hug me:(

Oh, the pain of waiting for MGS :(

Oh, the pain of waiting for MGS :(

Aye :(

...hold me Mentok (instead of blowing up)

[Mentok]

Yeah, I have to stop exploding... Its becoming a serious problem :(

[Mentok]

I still think kI should do something to my PSP while I am waiting for MGS to come out.

I am already doing a watercooling job on an X360 for a friend though... Between that, CoD2, GoW and the Wii... I dont think I would have the time :(

[SpideyLad]

This is too long to wait........

I'll have to do GCSE's before it comes out :(

[Electro UK]

I wake up at night wanting to play this. :(

[Mentok]

At night I play with my girlfriend :o


(I secretly wish she was a copy of MGS-PO though)

[Electro UK]

This game will even replace the need for sex. :(

[SpideyLad]

the US Version of it won't be able to play Online games with the European, will it?

[Mentok]

Jesus, why dont they just ban you already?

[Morg]

Substance D better behave, I'm in the mood for banning someone

Shocking earlier MPO release!
18 Nov 2006 by Otacon (pavel at metalgearsolid dot org), MGS:TUS
The best news this weekend!
Today, Konami and Kojima Productions revealed the official release date for Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops in North America.

The game will be out on 5th of December!

To good to be true? Check for yourself at the official MPO website (http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/mpo/index_en.html).


Set in 1970, six years after the events of Operation: Snake Eater, the FOX unit has become corrupt, taking over a military base in South America, where a new prototype weapon based on the Shagohod is being developed. Big Boss, a former member of the unit is convicted in conspiring with the revolt. In order to prove his innocence, Big Boss goes on a mission to hunt down the remaining members of the FOX unit and assist in the establishment of FOXHOUND and assume leadership of it.


More updates coming December 1st, when the official website will be open.

[Zenien]

I need to head down to EB ASAP so secure a pre-order (so I can get the cool case and everything).

I wonder if we'll be able to play against eachother.

Oh jebus MGS3 controls melded with the PSP inputs is going to take a lot of getting use to time. :o

I have some friends that played it at a game show a couple of weeks back, they said the controls fit right in straight away, so no worries there. But aparently, Europeans won't be able to play people in the US of A like in Subsistence.

Suckage. :(

[Mentok]

GAHHHH!H!H!HH!!!!


I just sold my damn PSP! :mad:


I didnt know it was coming out so soon :(

Oh, well... *jumps on eBay*

WTF would you sell your PSP, especially since the original release date of PO was December 13th. :confused:

I use kine everyday as a Music/Podcast player, even if I migt only play KZL every second day. I coul;dn't imagine any self respectign MGS fan selling thier PSP. :cmad:

This game had BETTER not require yet another firmware update! I just finally got the newest version of EBOOT running on my 2.80 PSP, and if PO tries to make me upgrade to 3.0 then I'm gonna be PO'd. :mad:

Oh well, I heard that there are ways to get around the update requirements anyway... I'll just have to wait for one to show up before I go out and buy this game. :0

December 5th marks the release of Portable Ops.....

[Electro UK]

IGN has some new gameplay videos up (some from single player). The lack of sound in the boss fights is obviously cause its not finished yet, but it looks like there's not much to any of em apart from shooting em. Though obviously knowing MGS that'll be easier said than done.

http://uk.media.psp.ign.com/media/783/783630/vids_1.html

[Benstamania]

You know, I almost bought a PSP again for this game. Then I figured that if this game sells well on the PSP Sony will port it to the PS2, much like they did with LCS and I'm SURE they'll do with VCS.

So...I'll wait and see.

[Zenien]

Won't happen if for no other reason then it make heavy use of the PSP GPS and Ad Hoc features. There's no harm in waiting and seeing though, who knows.

[Benstamania]

Yeah, that's what I figure. In the world of video games I fully believe that whatever will make a company money, they'll attempt.

I want the PSP to drop another 50, granted I can get one for 100 used do to working at GameStop....I just don't want to shell out that much for a system I already had and two games.


....The second game being Silent Hill Origins....which could also wind up on the PS2.

[Electro UK]

http://uk.psp.ign.com/articles/747/747782p1.html

Pretty cool Q&A, sub-missions ftw, but it could take you 20 hours to complete the game without doing any of em. :wow:

Plus you'll get shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhtuff like the RPG and more characters for doing em. Awesome. :up:

[Mentok]

Zen hates me because im Australian :(

[Timstuff]

Rockstar and Konami are two different publishers. I wouldn't hold my breath on MGSPO coming to PS2, especially since the PS2 port of GTALCS had a somewhat "mixed" reception.

Who doesn't hate you for that reason :o

Your country has blighted us with Steve Irwin, Aboriginies, crappy Foster's beer, kangaroos, Survivor: Outback, bears (specifically the koala, which I bet Sir Stephen Colbert hates), and you guys occupy almost an entire continent.

[Electro UK]

REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!

http://uk.psp.ign.com/articles/749/749133p1.html

9.0 :D:D:D:D

[Zenien]

I like Steve Irwin. :csad:

[Mentok]

Who doesn't hate you for that reason :o

Blas... He loves me because of my Australianness... And because I live 24 hours in the future compared to him.

Your country has blighted us with Steve Irwin,


Only because American TV loved him so much... HAd he stayed in Australia he would have been just another crazy dude yelling things on the street corner.

Aboriginies,

They are the worlds oldest surviving civilization (even despite England's attempts to wipe them all out) and thats pretty cool in my book.

crappy Foster's beer,

Once again the blame has to go to America for that one... Stop drinking it and they will stop making it.

kangaroos,

Well I did hit one in the car a few years back, thus bringing down the population a bit... I hope that helps :O

Survivor: Outback,

More blame goes to America for that one, but I am willing to take part of the blame.

bears (specifically the koala, which I bet Sir Stephen Colbert hates),

Yeah, he hates them and so do I. The BUNDY BEAR however provides Rum to drink and thats is so awesome its not even funny...

http://www.bundabergrum.com.au/



and you guys occupy almost an entire continent.

Only if we lie down end to end :O

9.0 :D:D:D:D


NICE :up:

But I am a few hours away from the midnight launch of the Wii so I am a tad preocupied.

I cant wait to pick this up though :D

[Electro UK]

Gametrailers gave it an 8.3, they say you struggle with the controls but neither IGN nor people I know who've played it even mentioned difficulty controlling.

[Electro UK]

Oh and Gamespot gave it a 9

[SpideyLad]

Oh and Gamespot gave it a 9

I needs me a PSP:(

[hippie_hunter]

Blas... He loves me because of my Australianness... And because I live 24 hours in the future compared to him.
Isn't Blas Mexican?

Only because American TV loved him so much... HAd he stayed in Australia he would have been just another crazy dude yelling things on the street corner.
That's what they want you to think, but the truth is that you guys blighted him with us.

They are the worlds oldest surviving civilization (even despite England's attempts to wipe them all out) and thats pretty cool in my book.
Aborigines aren't cool.

Once again the blame has to go to America for that one... Stop drinking it and they will stop making it.
Americans don't drink Foster's. You just try and blame us for everything :o

Well I did hit one in the car a few years back, thus bringing down the population a bit... I hope that helps :O
:up:

More blame goes to America for that one, but I am willing to take part of the blame.
You guys allowed it to happen, thus all the blame goes to you. Your country could have just said "No thank you" to CBS, but noooooo! Instead we got a second successful season of Survivor and now we are plagued with reality TV in America.

Yeah, he hates them and so do I. The BUNDY BEAR however provides Rum to drink and thats is so awesome its not even funny...

http://www.bundabergrum.com.au/
Let's team up and make them go extinct!

Only if we lie down end to end :O
No country deserves an entire continent (unless that country is the good ol' USA).

Anyways the point I'm trying to make is that:
United States of America > Commonwealth of Australia. Why do you ask?
1. We get everything first. Movies, video games, etc. Businesses care about Americans more than Australians.

2. You guys have a Queen. Who isn't even Australian! Kings and Queens are not the American way, which everyone should follow by the way :hyper:

3. Even Prime Minister John Howard thinks the United States kicks ass. It's why he visted the country 7 times to hang out with the incredibly awesome President George W. Bush and even does everything Bush does such as sending troops to Iraq (because he fully understands Bush's intentions of bringing freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people and free them from tyranny), opposes gay marriage and the Kyoto Protocol, supports privatization, etc.

[Boom]

This game is ****ING INCREDIBLE.

Seriously, it's my favorite MGS game to date. I love you Kojima.

[Fran]

It's out already?

[Boom]

The ending conversation dropped my jaw to the floor.

[hippie_hunter]

Hey Boom, where do I find Sigint and Paramedic?

So Mexican he is awesome.

Ahhh... Now I see... You guys are still upset over us getting HALO2 before you did :p

2. You guys have a Queen. Who isn't even Australian! Kings and Queens are not the American way, which everyone should follow by the way :hyper:

You have Tom Cruise.

John Howard is a total dumbass... Probably why he fits in so well over in the States :p

[Mr Jide]

when is the uk release date for this??

The ending conversation dropped my jaw to the floor.

Damnit I still have to wait 9 months to get it! I heard the script was the best in the series history. Lucky bastard, I'm VERY jealous. :up:

So Mexican he is awesome.
Mexicans are not awesome :o

No, we let that one slide, I was just pointing out a simple fact.

You have Tom Cruise.
Touche Mentok, touche.

John Howard is a total dumbass... Probably why he fits in so well over in the States :p
Total dumbass, or total genius for realising how incredibly awesome America is :o

[cyborg ninja 14]

I just got PO today and im impressed so far. My only nitpick is that the voice acting is only used for cutscenes leaving the rest of the text feeling bland...

[Zenien]

It is on my christmas list. Go me.

[Boom]

Here's the phone call at the end of the game.

Ocelot: "Well, I'll be damned. So it was you who was feeding me information. Yes, the DCI's death should pass as suicide. They'll claim he did it because he felt responsible for the theft of Metal Gear. We can look forward to a major shake-up on the seventh floor at Langley shortly. It looks as if everything is going exactly the way you wanted it. When the DCI saw the trajectory data you supplied and found out he was the target of the nuclear strike, he brought the Philosophers' documents right to me. Yes, we should have known Gene was serious about launching those nukes...Seems our insurance policy came in handy after all. He did quite well...And now I've got the Legacy. Is that all part of your script, too? Using him and the FOX Unit like that...Only you could have pulled it off. But...You won't be using me anymore......Battle data......from the Perfect Soldier? Genes...genome...?...I see...Intriguing...I'll help you with the project. But on one condition...I want him to join us. Yes, Big Boss...So that we can become the Patriots."

I'll be damned myself. It sounds like the Patriots is an organization founded not by a group, but by a single man, with the help of Ocelot. Who could it be, I wonder. Goddamnit, MGS4 is so far away.

[Mentok]

Mexicans are not awesome :o

From Blas...


Gammy: Eat ****, **** it, and eat it again.

[Substance D]

Can someone post a detailed summary of the whole storyline?

[Electro UK]

Boom dude, presonal request, PLEASE get rid of the conversation, the temptation to look is too much knowing I have 9 months to wait before I get it.

[hippie_hunter]

I got Calling to the Night downloaded on my computer, it is so awesome!

[XwolverineX]

Wow, it's really that good? Guess I'm getting it. Yessss.

[hippie_hunter]

You don't have it yet?! GET IT...NOW!

[XwolverineX]

lol. No money. Christmas. You have it?

[hippie_hunter]

This game has two of the best Metal Gear lines ever:

#1
Snake...
Ohh...Snake...
Everything is clear now...
The futures we saw were one and the same.
Snake...
You will destroy Metal Gear...
And you will create a new Metal Gear in it's place...
Your children...
Les Enfants Terribles...
Snake...
Your son will bring the world to ruin...
Your son...will save...
...the world

#2
Elisa: I just think you'll make a great father someday.
Snake: Elisa, I'm sorry, but...I'll never be a father.

[hippie_hunter]

lol. No money. Christmas. You have it?
Yes, and the story surpasses Snake Eater. Although it really didn't fulfil it's promise of fully bridging the gap between Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear.

First of all, it heavily retconned several characters (I won't spoil who though, unlike the lines I mentioned as being so cool, the retcons will spoil the story). Making a remake of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, necessary now. I think it is very safe to assume that it will happen now, instead of saying it might happen or even never happen.

Second, there will have to be a Portable Ops 2 or some other type of interquel in order to fully bridge the gap.

The story just explains how Big Boss was capable of creating Outer Heaven, not why. It also sets up for another interquel and for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Wait so the Les Enfants Terribles cloning doesnt happen in the game?

No. Like I already said. Portable Ops completely broke its promise of bridging the gap between Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear. All it does is explain how Big Boss was capable of creating Outer Heaven, not why.

First of all, the game takes place in late 1970. The Les Enfants Terribles project happened in 1972.

Big Boss is not put into a coma from whatever battle he was in that allowed the Patriots to take the necessary DNA from Big Boss to create Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidus Snake. However, this game does confirm what was implied in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, that Big Boss was indeed sterile from his time spend on Bikini Atoll in nuclear weapons testing.

Good news though is that Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidus Snake do make an appearance in the greatest cutscene ever in Metal Gear history in my opinion.

I know what you're thinking :o

I have to agree :csad:

[Master Chief]

I got it today and was trying to play it earlier at like, 5ish, and I just could not get past how not badass that s**t looked. :huh: I'm sure it'll wear off but jeez. That stealth suit ain't helping the image either. :csad:

Just ignore the gay hands and the stealth suit and concentrate on the eye patch.

Eye patches are badass, and chicks dig eye patches :up:

[Master Chief]

Aiiightio then,I just talked with Campbell and stuff. I'm gonna go play until sunrise. And then feel like killing myself for not sleeping later on in school. :confused: Toodlers, and thanks for the linkage to the sweetass song. :up:

[Boom]

The legs are a bit weird. Other than that I think the suit is kinda cool.

[CrypticOne]

This game has two of the best Metal Gear lines ever:

#1
Snake...
Ohh...Snake...
Everything is clear now...
The futures we saw were one and the same.
Snake...
You will destroy Metal Gear...
And you will create a new Metal Gear in it's place...
Your children...
Les Enfants Terribles...
Snake...
Your son will bring the world to ruin...
Your son...will save...
...the world

#2
Elisa: I just think you'll make a great father someday.
Snake: Elisa, I'm sorry, but...I'll never be a father.

Are these for real?

[hippie_hunter]

Are these for real?

Yes

[arachnid-guy]

So Null is really.....Mr. Jaeger?

wow.

[hippie_hunter]

So Null is really.....Mr. Jaeger?

wow.

Who didn't figure that out on their own before the game was released :o

[GoldenAgeHero]

when is the OSt being released?

[Zenien]

This game is good.

One thing I might get some flack for: I think it controls on par or even better then MGS3.

[Deleted User]

This game sucks my nuts and I haven't even played it or watched any gameplay videos. I don't even own a PSP!

Muahaha! :p

[gtkilla]

Ops ops ops ops

I hate that :o

[Boom]

The recruit system is cool. It's just a real pain in the ass dragging people all the way back to the truck.

I also hate the weapons/item menu. It's horrible and I hate it.

[Zenien]

Just call the 'pickup' frequency to have them dragged back automatically. Can't remember if the ally has to be in range or not.

What's bad about the item system?

[Electro UK]

I still have to wait 9 months for this...

Why do people hate me? :(

[Shon]

How does this game compare to Metal gear Acid? That one did not appeal to me at all. Is this one more like the normal MGS games as far as gameplay?

The clips I have seen look good, but not good enough to make me drop 40 bucks on it yet.

You have to be like right in front of them in order for the frequency to work, and most of them are stationed around the truck.

What's bad about the item system?
It's just a pain in the ass with the four items only thing. I know it's more realistic and tactical, but I hate having to drop items just so I can pick something up, and then I have to restart a mission because I don't have an item that I need in my inventory.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops mostly brings the console version of Metal Gear Solid onto the Playstation Portable. There are quite a few necessary control changes due to only one analoge stick and the the lack of R2 and L2 buttons on the Playstation Portable. Also you can play as more characters than just Snake. There is no turn-based combat like in Metal Gear Ac!d. Pretty much it is just like playing Metal Gear Solid on the Playstation Portable, it's a very different game than Metal Gear Ac!d, and personally, even though I liked Metal Gear Ac!d, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is a lot better.

My only gripe with Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is that it needed more voice acting. The radio sequences and the sequences on where Campbell briefs with you on what you need to do lack voice acting of any sort.

THe third person lock on works so much better then in MGS3.

Hey thanks man, I will pick it up this weekend :)

[Thirteen Shadows]

just got this game and I must say I love it!!

I had to use the password for Gene though, Recruit 200 soldiers?! That's insane!

[Boom]

I love the replay value of this game.

[Mr. Credible]

i wish they would port this to the ps2 like they did liberty city stories... not too many people have a psp as opposed to a ps2, and i know a lot of people that'd pick this up if it were on the console.

1. Liberty City Stories was a horrible port.

2. Kojima Productions does not do ports or even multiplatform games.

3. It's impossible to port the game. It was specifically designed for the Playstation Portable. The control scheme would have to be worked out again. The recruiting funcions such as the Access Scan and the GPS would be taken out.

4. It would look dumb on the Playstation 2 because of the lack of voice acting of radio and breifing sequences and the cutscenes are drawn, not animated within the game like the other Metal Gear Solid titles.

[Zenien]

so for those of us who have it, I have the ability to go online with it...

Now's you chance to get back into my good graces by playing MGSPO MGO and making up for the roaring failure that was my MGS3 Online iniative!

[El Santo]

Zenien, do you still play MGS3 online?
Cause I'll have my slim Ps2 in about a week, after I finally move to Vancouver.

[Zenien]

I haven't played MGS3 MPO in a while, but I still have the game, we have a spare internet cable I could use to hook it up.

[Electro UK]

I couldn't play you on MGS3 Zen :(

But this is fantastic news for us brits. 5 months less of a wait and TONS of new extras. When you're so jealous, think on the fact you got to play it almost half a year before us :(

Put it on pre-order yesterday though, yay!
