MGS4 Hands-On!!

Ravenas · Apr 3, 2008

Nice previews here my friends from IGN AND Gamepro:

http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps3/games/previews/173848.shtml

You thought Gears of War looked amazing? Think again. Metal Gear Solid 4 will blow you away with its ultra-detailed characters and intricate environments, painting some of the most gorgeous graphics seen this side of Crysis. In motion, the graphics look so realistic that your eyes begin to register the visuals as a movie rather than a game. From what we saw, MGS4 puts its 50GB Blu-ray disc to outstanding use."

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/863/863825p1.html?RSSwhen2007-12-11_183000&RSSid=840683

this is the system seller that we've all known Metal Gear Solid 4 was going to be.

This preview has only scratched the surface; we haven't even described some of the bosses, radical and innovative game mechanics, or other features that make this title a fitting conclusion to one of the best franchises in gaming.

Visually, Metal Gear Solid 4 is even more striking on the console than it has been in released trailers. We always had a sense that what Kojima was showing us was incredible footage, but the detail within the game itself is simply breathtaking

Game of the Year material?

A 360 could run it, however the game would have to be on multiple DVD's. Microsoft should just do what the rest of the world is doing and start supporting blue-ray.

*The game looks absolutely stunning! Man, I love streaming HD!!!

alexp999 · Apr 3, 2008

Is this one of the first blu-ray games then?

Ravenas · Apr 3, 2008

Every ps3 game is on Bly ray.

This is the beauty of Bly ray, enourmous space capacity.

Hideo asked Sony to make him a quad layer Bly ray disc for Mgs4 because the game is so large.

The game is around 100gb from what I've read.

I'm waiting for the new Joint Operations called Operation Gambit hopefully by the end of the year

No loading the game to hard drive for most people ehh?

Ravenas · Apr 4, 2008

I wouldn't say that, about half of the ps3 games load to your HDD.

The problem is when you got lazt developers who port DVD 9 games to blu-ray.

Think of it like this, if DVD9 games are like finding a needle in a hay stack(the needle being data), then blu ray games are like finding a needle in a 3x larger hay stack.

Now you can see why lazy developers who just port games straight from xbox to ps3 are horrid and cause bad load times.

You mean 9 layer dvds correct? I have heard the file system is complex and lowers read times.
