Squall Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I've heard a lot about this game, inccluding that it comes out in 2004. It's supposed to take place in the jungle, concenterate more on gameplay than cutscenes (like the last two),will be playable on the internet, and is supposed to relate to "back to the origin. Anybody else hear about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniglefager Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 yeah, I heard a little about it, and watched a trailer of it. It's supposed to take place during the Cold War I belive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semjaza Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Yeah. It's in the 60s. I can't say I care much, but I'm far more interested in this than MGS2. I read the other day that you can strap grenades to animals and send them towards the enemies heh. Don't know how true that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squall Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 heh, I would download it, but I don't have four hours. Anyway, I too am A metal gear solid vetran, and in Kojima's style isn't anything edible but rations and isn't in a forest. In this game, suspect the unsuspected.

The (Sic) Shape Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I for one really want to get this game. But I would rather find out what happened to Liquid/Ocelot, Snake, Vamp, and Raiden after the events of MGS2. But Im still excited about this. You all do realize that the chances of the character in MGS3 isnt the Snake we all know and love are very high. Many people believe that its Big Boss, Snake's father who he was cloned from. The major hint is the fact that the character in the trailer has only one eye Who else believes this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Well, I did hear that he was missing an eye so probably. You have a good point about the cast. I really hope they don't trail off into cold war events and leave Sons O. L. at a cliffhanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may reveal something to tease or lead someone down a certain mindset, but he does not [b]say[/b] something and it turns out to be false. Kojima has confirmed that [spoiler]2/3rd of the game takes place in the forest and 1/3rd in the main "base," and you will have to hunt to survive.[/spoiler] As for the main character being Big Boss, well, a lot of information has been revealed to make it seem like BB, but, it has neither been denied nor confirmed by Kojima. Oh, and MGS3 is a direct sequel to MGS2, but not in the traditional sense of "sequel." Kojima means it as the "next" game in the MGS series, not the third in a trilogy to pick up where the last one left off. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guess? Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 this game looks great. I saw the trailer and thought wow, you get to run around in the jungle killing terrorists and eating wildlife. I just wish I still had a ps2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pex Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Theres also a report that a different kind of metal gear one that changes into two different things, a tank and I cant remember the other one, but I recall seeing it an a PSM issue, does anyone else have more info on this?

Gohan Egret Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Actually, from the E3 2003 packet for both MGS3 and MGS:TTS, there was a cutout from the package that allowed for you to construct [spoiler]Metal Gear REX, a new Metal Gear, and some spare parts for another "vehicle" or whatnot, as well as making one large tank/vehicle that looks like a nuclear missile launcher. An early version of Metal Gear, perhaps?[/spoiler] As for the newest of new, there is a new trailer out as of yesterday. It is from the ECTS show in Britain, I believe. But, most downloads are in crappy quality and your best bet it to wait for Konami to direct link it. But, if you *have* to have it, try this one...worked for me...sound sucks, though (background noise > trailer sound) and visual goes down at about 2:30 into it...

DragonClaw2 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 i heard it has to do with the cold war but i dont know about the online thing. I havent heard about that yet but i could be wrong there could be a online playable game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Wow, Egret, I'm impressed. You're on top of this game. :D It's a shame we don't have more members like you. =/ But right, to the topic, MGS3 looks all right to me. Granted, I've never played MGS2 [Was waiting for Substance, and now I can't find it. -_-], but I've been a fan of the MG fame since as far back as I can remember. How can anyone forget the final battle on Snake's Revenge? Sure, not all the stuff in the mix, but it was still fun. Or my favorite moment in MGS, the first battle with Vulcan? That pure display of limber power? Who thought Snakes could jump over ten feet backwards and like six feet in the air? The scene where Meryl gets shot? Wolf's death? The explination of Snake's past through Liquid? The fact that if you look around during that cutscene Liquid says something along the lines of "They're not there; I took your weapons."? I doubt that short of adding flying pink rats the size of panda bears and random, disfigured Pokemon and Jar-Jar Binks, there will never be a way to completely ruin a MG game. Heh, enough nostalgia, eh? If there was MGS3 Online, it would be a bit hard with the game's semi stand-and-rotate control scheme, and it's limited camera [aside from hounding on FP mode], it would be like playing SOCOM with GTA2's angle, almost. Either way, I'm thrilled to see this game will be out as soon as November after next. Now, if only I could find Substance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 Try best buy. they have it for 15-20$. There is also supposed to be a stalking or following mode and an energy gauge that decreases faster when you use it. I heard something about the build thing, but I never put any thought into it. If it is Big boss who you play as, I think it's gonna be really weird knowing that you'll kill the hero later on. (or earlier on, depending how you look at it.)

Gohan Egret Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 MGS3: SE is a prequel sequel - now, what that means is it will display the contents of the past, yet "advance" the series, i.e. it may lead into MGS4. Hopefully, that will pick up where MGS2 left off - [spoiler]The Patriots mystery, Ocelot, Olga's Child, Raiden's future, etc.[/spoiler] As for MGS: Online, well, not much has been mentioned other than that Kojima said it was ready to go but wanted to "spice" it up. It will more than likely be a FPS, but, I have a suspicion third-person will be included but with a more limited view screen (to keep stealth intact...sort of...) And, yes, the OB needs some more MGS fans! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest King_Cloud690 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I cannot wait till it comes out! I really just cannot wait till it is playable online which is the reason I want it so bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 [url]http://jpn01.konami.co.jp/movie/mgs3/mgs3_tgs2k3_e.wmv[/url] New trailer. For some reason it's labeled as a Twin Snakes trailer in WMP, who knows why. It's about 22 MBs and 5 minutes long. Not as washed out as the Twin Snakes trailer, and sounds great. Trailer is odd. The game looks awesome, but the song at the end kind of threw me off. Like 60s James Bond themes lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohan Egret Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Heh, I know why - because the game takes place in the [spoiler]1960's, thus the James Bond-like song.[/spoiler] That is actually the ECTS trailer as a direct feed. There was much speculation that there would be a special "extended" version for TGS, but that is not true. I was expecting a line of dialogue or something. *Sighs* Onto E3 2004. It is going to be a LOONG 9 months...:( As for the trailer itself, I was impressed. The environments are just so vast. "Snake" looks frickin' awesome. Everything looks really textured, and detail is not spared (the blades of grass, man, the blades of grass!). November 2004 is so far away... *Sobs in a corner* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Yeah. I know when it takes place, but the song is still rather goofy and out of place in my opinion. This is the sort of song they play when Bond drinks a Martini lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig8429 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I've heard alot of the game, but I can't say I heard it being online. Also they are saying your not snake your big boss who is identical to snake..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Mr. Kojima, it is ready to ship today, but he wants to make it "unique" in the online world. As for the main character's identity...all clues point to [spoiler]Big Boss[/spoiler], but you never know. Mr. Kojima is infamous in changing things up and ushering your mind to think a certain way... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
