I think the leaked trailer (which is the baddest, lemme say), is part of a bigger trailer that may be shown at E3. I certainly hope so, cuz that jank looks hot! It doesn't show much stealth, so I'm almost certainly right. [/u]

Wow, the game seems really ambitious. Can Konami pull this off? Can they really top Son's of Liberty in plot and graphics?

I'm really in disbelief that we'll be able to play this soon.

Matt

I watched the full 12 minute E3 trailer (many, many times I might add), and visited the website. There isn't any plot given away at all, but I think Hideo Kojima is trying to trick everyone again. The 1960s? That's dumb. Besides, the dates it goes thru are the dates Kojima, Shinkawa, Williams, and..the concept designer (I forget his name) were all born in the 1960s. THEN in the trailer it's like, "only the snake is the true hero." I dunno, we'll see a year from now, eh? :oops:

Omega, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just because they don't agree with what you think, it doesn't mean that they are wrong. I'm sure that there are loads of people who disagree with some of your views.....

Wouldn't it be a lot better if, say, you gave reasons why you think it's good, and solidus, you could give reasons why you think it's over-rated.

Another thing; if you're going to discuss Killzone, do it in the Killzone thread from now on.

To even things out and keep an open mind, I'll point out that, for RPGs, the X-Box has Marrowind and Baldur's Gate. (As well as a few Action games with RPG elements in them, like Deus Ex and Shenmue.) And Fable is supposed to be highly anticipated.
The GameCube's slightly better off, especially since GC owners have key titles like Zelda and the upcoming Final Fantasy. Plus, they got Skies of Arcadia, which was cancelled for the PS2, and the Phantasy Star series.
Nevertheless, reverting back to my bias self, neither of the two consoles have a really broad selection of RPGs to choose from. The PS2 has Final Fantasy, Breath of Fire, Arc the Lad, the new Dragon Warrior, (Yes, in America, we have the Warrior series, not Quest.) Kingdom Hearts, the Dark Cloud series, Suikoden, XenoSaga, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and, a personal favorite I had to add in, the Grandia series.
It's obvious Microsoft wanted the X-Box to have a nice selection of Action titles instead of RPGs, but Nintendo, of course, is trying to be more well-rounded.

By the way, sorry for going off-topic so much. I can't wait for MGS3!

I wish people would stop saying "MGS3 is going to rock and be the best game ever!" and "the next GTA is going to kill the compution"

For pitty sake, none of these games are any where near completion. Allthough I beleve they will be good games, compaines DO make blunders and there are the chances of BRAND NEW games beating the shit out of all of them.

I wonder what other locations will be in the game. So far I've seen a reasonably large jungle and some caves. Surely there must be some kind of enemy base hidden away in the jungle (maybe the water scene was the opening of the base).

At Konami's pre-E3 press conference in Los Angeles this afternoon, we caught a lengthy new movie of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the next in the company's wildly popular stealth action series. The movie was quite a bit longer than the trailer that leaked onto the Internet last week, and after series creator Hideo Kojima finished a brief Q&A session following the movie, we have a clearer understanding of what kind of game Snake Eater is going to be.

The bulk of the movie focused on scenes of Snake sneaking around and fighting in the jungle. No indoor scenes were shown, and Kojima confirmed later that the game does emphasize outdoor combat, although you'll also enter buildings occasionally. We saw a lot of Solid Snake offing enemy soldiers in the jungle--from slashing throats to busting caps, Snake was a veritable killing machine in the demo. The game seemed substantially bloodier than Metal Gear Solid 2 as well. Snake showed off a few interesting moves, like hanging from a tree branch by one arm while firing his silenced pistol at enemy soldiers with the other. It seems like the sneaking and stealth that is the series' trademark will be adapted to a 3D jungle environment.

The trailer showed no dialogue or cinematic sequences whatsoever, instead focusing entirely on gameplay and combat scenes. The presentation did go out of its way to emphasize that Snake is the only hero in the game, so any Raiden fans out there can give up hope of seeing the blonde one's return. When prompted to expound on the game's story afterward, Kojima was mum and said only that more would be revealed next year. Further, when GameSpot's Giancarlo Varanini asked Kojima where on the timeline this new Metal Gear game falls, Kojima would answer only that we should use our imagination. This, coupled with briefly glimpsed phrases during the trailer such as "Back to the origin!" and "1960s" has led to speculation that Snake Eater may in fact be a prequel to the series. Indeed, Solid Snake's age has been called into question, as some members of the GameSpot staff believe he is far too young to appear in a game set in the 1960s. Of course, this depends on the game being set in the 1960s, which itself is a fairly large assumption to make. If we've learned anything from MGS2, it's that we should expect the unexpected from Kojima. Only time will tell if we've made an accurate assessment of the situation.

Further clues to the game's story were revealed in some of the trailer's transitions, which featured a reference to a clash of ideologies and multiple instances of the hammer and sickle, well known as a symbol of the Soviet Union. Couple this with the map seen in the game's teaser image that revealed a portion of Russia, and one wonders: Could Metal Gear Solid 3 involve some sort of Cold War-era political intrigue? Again, this is just speculation, and more information will surely be revealed later on.

Kojima let a few more details slip before he exited the stage. For one, MGS3 will indeed let you hunt and eat animals, as you may have gathered from the previous footage. Further, Snake will develop likes and dislikes over the course of the game, and having him eat his favorite foods will yield extra benefits. In fact, much of the gameplay revolves around surviving in the wild, and the hunting will be just one component of this. Kojima also said that MGS3 does not use the MGS2 engine, but rather an entirely new one. This is primarily because the previous engine was designed for sneaking around on flat surfaces and pressing up against flat walls with right angles--of course, natural terrain is much more random and varied, and the new engine will facilitate its re-creation in the game. In an offhand and very surprising admission, Kojima said the other reason for the new technology is that Konami is planning on creating Metal Gear Online, and the dev team wanted a more generalized engine for use with that upcoming game. Whether or not this comment actually holds water will remain to be seen, but it's quite interesting nonetheless.

one of the reasons the game has these superb-looking grafix is that kojima used XSI 3.5 in developing the game/grafix engine. XSI 3.5 is used in games like HL2 and onimusha 3...

What amuses me about that photo was the comany gave it to them in peaces and they had to put it togeather.

The tank makes sense though. This would have to be the first (first model we have seen, there may have been more before this) model of metal gear. So it being less developed make complete sense.

Well, I have no idea what XSI 3.5 is. (Which makes me proud, in a way. It makes me feel less dorky, which is already hard to do since I'm posting on a video game message board.) So, I searched for XSI 3.5 articles and found this. (http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=nvda&script=410&layout=9&item _id=422283) Basically, XSI 3.5 is like (Or is, I wouldn't know.) middleware, allowing the developer to edit and render images in real-time. Using this technology, developers can program and render graphics in much less time for various platforms, which, of course, leads to faster production and more chances to add "polish" to other components.

I mean if you put a picture of the new metal gear that would be a different story but instead you just made yourself look stuiped. ... Dork.

first of all you put a picture of snake which was totaly off subject. We were all talking about the new metal gear that was going to be in MGS3. the picture looks good but next time try to keep on subject. I mean if you put a picture of the new metal gear that would be a different story but instead you just made yourself look stupid. :P ... Dork. :twisted:

1stly, r u sure u were consious when u wrote this????!!!!!
2ndly, apparently u donno anythin about MGS games, snake IS the heart of MGS, man i showed the pic of the games main character, what do u want me to post? master chief's pic? or sam fisher's? and this thread is talkin about MGS3 game including everything in it (in case u don know, my GOD).. an i suggest u stop argueing to prove ur point, just get over it an let's enjoy the pic, man.

Enough of that crap, stop filling up posts about non-MGS3 subject matter.

That pic rules! I can't wait for this game. I have a really good feeling that this one is gonna deliver because of all the fan objections to MGS2 and Raiden who deserves to be banned from any game ever made in the future. I have another thought that Kojima took al the objections personally and decided to make up for all that crap in MGS2. I 've also heard the game will span from the jungles to up in the snowy mountains. It wounld be such a dramtic change of survival tactics and would absolutly rule!

Those pics are very cool. The hormet comparisson makes sense by the look of it. And the quicksand I idea is crazy. What would you do if you got cought by it? Start beating the X button like a madman? If you were getting chased, that would be a screwed situation, espesially if there were dogs on your ass. No time to shoot cause your ass is sinking. Bad stuiff.

I also wonder what the bosses are gonna be like in this one. MGS has always had among the coolest bosses and boss fighjts and I expect that this will ne diffrent. What about a boss battle in the open jungle? If a boss was super camoflaged and you counldn't see his or her, then they shoot/stab from the shadows. The possibilities are endless!

The very original Metal Gear on the NES started in the jungle. In fact, half of it took place outside in the jungle. Metal Gear Solid is actually the divergence from the original. Snake moved in and then out of the enemy base. Like Snake Eater. But hey, one would only know this if one played the original game back in the ancient days of video game yore.

That reminds me, do you think there will be Codec sequences in MGS3? I mean, didn't Snake use a radio in the NES Metal Gear games? After all, no trailer has shown a Codec sequence yet, and it would be an interesting reference to the original games, as well. Think about it.

Here's some new info about the camoflogue systen in MGS3, and 30 new pics.

Q: You mentioned that Snake loses stamina when in stalking mode, I wondered if you could talk more about the stamina system.

A: That's something we'd like to reveal at E3. Basically, when you walk around in the mountains and you have to climb, you lose stamina, and you have to regain stamina by feeding yourself. One thing you can do in the game is take off the shirt -- wear no camo pattern -- and if you walk around like that you're more likely to lose body temperature and lose stamina.

Q: Is there a consideration for when you're seen, the camouflage index versus the distance from the enemy?

A: Although it is 100%, the enemies do have vision, so if they're really close to you, they'll notice something is wrong, it doesn't look like a tree or something, so then they'll come closer and then they'll spot you.

Q: Are there different types of enemies, human or otherwise? Will there be a difference in how they perceive camouflage indexes?

A: The number only applies to human enemies. There are no camo indexes shown on the screen for animals, but if you want to capture a bird, it's better to be at a higher camo index, blending into the background, so that the bird doesn't see you.

Q: Can you talk about any plans for a pre-release demo for MGS3, and if there are, when we might see it?

A: I really don't know, but there probably will be a time for us to do that.

Q: The hiding part of it extends to Snake, but is there also consideration for hiding bodies, can you use camouflage on bodies? Does your weapon noise factor in?

A: For bodies, you can hide them in the grass, hide them in holes or tree trunks, and you can also carry them to streams or rivers. As for cutting down on the noise, not necessarily weapons, but we want you to make use of the stalking, to walk around slowly and not make any noise. We'll be able to show you more of that at E3.

One thing about the camo uniforms, if you get shot or wounded, there'll be bloodstains, and then your camo pattern will have red stuff on it, and your camo index will go down.

Q: In the movies we saw before this, Snake makes use of his camo to hide, but will there also be enemies in the game that make better use of their own camouflage?

A: Not the typical enemies, but the bosses in the game will be using a lot of different techniques. Again, if I speak more of this, I'll get killed a third time...

Q: In the Twin Snakes, the cutscenes were more stylized. Are you taking that approach with Metal Gear 3?

A: The Twin Snakes demos were done by Ryuhei Kitamura, but for the Snake Eater polygon demos, I'll be working on them myself, so they'll be very Kojima-esque.

Q: On the official website, it mentions there are mountains and streams but also deserts. If there are deserts, what can we expect from them. Also, what kind of animals can you eat and how will that affect your health?

A: It's more like rocky places with no grass -- gameplay-wise, we can't talk about that. We might be showing some scenes from that kind of environment at E3.

There'll be scenes in the game where there'll be fire in the background, or you can light fire in certain spots, so if you wear the fire pattern there, you'll blend in. Snow pattern, of course, there'll be some snowy areas in the game -- that's why we threw that in there. Basically, camouflage is the key part of the stealth gameplay, but it's a passive thing, too. If you want to be a macho, hard-boiled guy like "I'm not going to wear anything," then you don't have to wear any camo. You can just walk around with no t-shirt, and play it your way.

This news couldn't have gotten here at a better time, in my opinion - I don't check sites like IGN and GameSpot that often, so, when I notice a slow news week, it must be bad. With most of the high-profile stuff coming out after April, we're looking at a ton of instances that won't feature much more then screen shot updates. So, when previews like this come out, it's something big. From the looks of things, MGS3 will be much more intense this time around. I hope that Konami makes good use of the gameplay engine this time around. (Cut-scenes are all well and good, but give me some gameplay too!) In addition, I'm hoping for a harder difficulty - if there's a hard mode available at the start, I'm definitely going for it. MGS3 definitely looks like a promising title, and the whole "Big Boss, not Snake" thing is definitely apparent in these new previews. Plus, I'm looking forward to the new intro, which is may, according to GameSpot, feature some interactivity. (How you do that with a DVD movie is beyond me, but we'll have to wait and see.) The no radar [in some areas] thing will definitely put a new spin on everything - its things like that that make you appreciate the system.

Ever since the heartwarming day when we first clapped eyes on footage of Solid Snake attempting to pass himself off as a crocodile at last year's ECTS, we've been convinced that eccentric stealth-obsessed weirdo Hideo Kojima has another effortlessly bonkers but eminently brilliant Metal Gear title for us.

Up 'til now there have been more questions than answers; with the sixties backdrop it makes no sense that we're even playing as "Solid Snake", even if the visual evidence suggests it's our grizzled chum from the previous MGS titles. Konami is still understandably, if annoyingly reticent about most of the game elements, but at least we've finally been privy to some detailed info about the camouflage system.

As you should be able to see in the screenshots accompanying this piece, the Camouflage Index is a vital element of the game. The index indicates how visible you are to the enemy at any given time, and is generated through a number of factors; these are your face paint, your costume and also your posture.

Get the right combination and it's possible to give yourself a 100 percent visibility factor, essentially rendering you invisible to the guards, which means unwitting soldiers can walk within a few inches of you and never even know it. The idiots.

Different postures include lying, crouching, standing, stalking and running, all of which will contribute to a different factor, though you don't have to be Stephen Hawking to work out that if you're moving, you'll be more visible to those fiendish enemy soldiers than if you're lying down. Indeed, running will actually give you a minus five percent rating, as the sound you make as you run will alert the guards.

A spokesperson for Konami ran through various different postures, face paints and costumes; obviously if your face paint and camouflage match your surroundings you'll likely be tougher to locate than if you've opted for a fuschia pink ensemble with a canary yellow bandana to set off the outfit.

Forgetting the camouflage system for a moment, the presentation offered a suitably dramatic soundtrack along with devastatingly handsome exterior shots; tall grass swaying, terrain undulating, and a marked sense of freedom that we hope Konami will manage to retain in the finished game.

The game also promises a bigger playing area, with more room to explore and a less linear approach to gameplay. According to Kojima, "When you start off the game you will have a radar, but throughout the course of playing you'll basically switch between the radar and the stealth index".

Some costumes will be available for download through an online connection, though that's the only online element of the game currently planned. Fans will also be able to submit their own camouflage designs, the very best of which will appear in the game. And oh yeah, one other thing; we want to play this. Properly. Now.

The heart-gladdening news is that MGS: Snake Eater will be playable at E3; we can't promise we won't spend the entire three days of the expo perched obsessively on the MGS stand...

I hope you can have really stupid Camouflage Indexes that really stand out, like a Spiderman suit (http://www.top-greetings.com/G.py?P=/art/503/). Hahaha, I'm sorry. Anyway, from the sound of things, it will be much more difficult to handle guards when you're spotted. In addition, the jungle probably won't have many places to hide, which will definitely put more emphasis on sneaking. (MGS2 was too simple. Just leave the room after shooting a guy and you're all set.) Even though there will be hollow logs and whatnot, I bet the guards will have enough sense to follow you and watch you duck into these spots while in pursuit. By the way, I wonder if the environments will be open like GTA or SSX 3. I mean, think about it - if most of the game takes place in the jungle, where will the loading transitions be? Think about it.

Hahaha, I hope Konami doesn't pull that on us again, but chances are, they won't. In the original trailer, we see Snake-Like-Guy fall from his plane and begin the mission. Therefore, unless we have a scenario with baby Raiden or Snake-Like-Guy as he sneaks around his own plane, I don't think we'll have to worry about another mini-scenario before the 'real' game starts.

I'm surprised they didn't at least show off a few of Liquid's Recessive Genes just to make the Big Boss connection easier. Either way, we can't complain - we're still playing with a Snake-like character. (Chances are, Big Boss was made using Snake's MGS2 model, but I could be wrong - Especially if they used a new graphics engine.) I don't even have to ask if David Hayter's making a comeback. (As long as Cam Clarke (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0164682/) doesn't make an appearance, I'll be happy. :lol:)

yeah it's been rumored that the jist of the plot has been leaked (characters etc...)

http://boards.ign.com/Metal_Gear_Solid/b5200/55212692/?12

Credit goes to Beefor on IGN forums.

Basically, he found a site for actors to find sides for parts in movies, TV shows, and video games. When you subscribe, you can get info on a part and how to audition for it.

The site shows a list of characters you can audition for in MGS3.

He says the names match the ones in the "leaked document". I have no idea what document he's talking about, but apparently Scott Dolph has contacted IGN about leaking that document! (see here: http://boards.ign.com/Metal_Gear_So...00/55212692/?12)


Below are the character names. Don't worry, they don't reveal too much, except that appearance of one character from MGS1 and 2 is now certain.

Will you fight them all in base type areas? I mean, if you meet a boss in the jungle you could simply turn and run a mile...............

i dont think the whole game will only be JUNGLE, like i mean it is BUT i bet there will be like some MILITARY Camps along the way or like maybe lil villages? and maybe thats where u will fight BOSES?

BTW someone help me out with the GSCube Q in the EVERYTHING ELSE thread =x thx =)

I want to know who will be the women of MGS3:SE? All the Metal Gear Solid games have some woman in it. In MGS1 there was Sniper Wolf, and a few others. IN Sons of Liberty there was Fortune, Emma Emmerich, Olga Gurlukavich, and Rose. MGS3 has to have at least one woman, even if she's a bad girl.

This is like asking who the bad guys will be.....................

I'm intrested to know how Big Boss will talk to other people though. If theres no codec then it would have to be radio, but I'm sure radio wasn't that advance in the cold war........

here is how i think metal gear 3 is going to be. you probably start as Big Boss and make your way through. then something probably happens and then the game goes back to present time were it left off as snake follows ray. liquid leads snake to the place were big boss left off and you play with snake from there on. then some crazy stuff happens and it turns out that big boss is not dead and he is part of the patriots or some crazy crap like that. all i can say expect anything to happen because kojima's imagination is never ending. :) :shock: lol

I too think that something unexpected will happen in Snake Eater, but the question is what? There were a few minor surprises in MGS1, like when we found out the Colonel had gone bad, and Meryl was his neice or something, Meryl dying was a surprise, as was the fact that Liquid was acting like that one guy on Snake's codec. Plus the fact that Liquid was Snake's brother!

Then in Sons of Liberty, we find out that the President was working with Revolver Ocelot, Emma is what's his name's brother, Olga didn't die and was the mysterious ninja and helping Snake/Pliskin, the Partiots was probably the biggest surprise, Fortune COULD get hit by a bullet, Liquid was still alive...you get the picture.

So expect Snake Eater to be full of little surprises, it's what defines the series. I can almost gurantee you that this isn't just a prequel, people have been waiting for almost 3 years to find out what happens after S.O.L., and Olha's baby, and who Otacon was talking about after the credits. I think what they may do is have a long cutscene like after MGS3 and show what happened after Sons of Liberty. Long endings with music is another thing I like about the Metal Gear Solid series.

A few questions though, is it just me or did Solidus say something to Raiden just before he fell? I saved the game just before the ending so I could see it all over again, I can swear his lips are moving but they don't tell you what he's saying. Didn't Solidus know Big Boss or something also? Plus, was Fortune black or white? Because in the manual, they have a picure of a white woman, but in the game she's black and even talks with like an island girl type of accent.

my guess would be a convolouted double narrative in the past and the pressent. . . that crosses over with time travel antics (that was hinted at in SOL) with big boss and snake (effectivly a big boss clone) fighting or teaming up or both. . . and them snake going back in time. .. b'cause big boss dies and he effectivly becomes big boss himself. . . one of those weired time loop things like Reece in Terminator. and so we discover . . after we cut to a future scene that he is fact his own arch enemy. and there was some weird split in time lines (or something like i saw in Back to the Future 2) (big gasp of suprise). . big Jungian metaphore for our own evil potential or something ?!!!??

actually if aint this plot . . . i can garentee it will be just as weird and stupid. . . i dont care. . the plot is strait out of a Jon Carpenter B-movie. . . the dafter the better.

If big boss dies and snake replaces him as big boss in the past then snake will die in this game when little snake kills big boss. Sort of a crappy end to the seris.

phil
04-24-2004, 02:38 AM
yea. . . sorry if i sounded a little disrespectful to the title. . . i just feel that the SOL did get a little (VERY) flakey. no less weird or far-fetched than the first. . . but problem was was that is was so splintered . . . that you pratically forgot who you were fighting and for what point. there was a sort of intresting comment about the nature of video games. . . in that pirandelo moment "Jack. . . dont you think you played too much" .

sure . . you go to a libraray for a story. . . but Video game is the new true blue medium for narative, for the story. i play video games because its the only popular culture that dosent treat people like a moron. comics have desended into retarded sex fantasy. . .popular movies are getting worse and worse.. i dont expect a game to be a pynchon novel but hey.... there were moments in SOL were i feel that the naritive structure was colapsing. . . and rather than tidy it . . . or make the story economical and sleek. . (like the first) Kojima sucumed to saying 'oh but the story is ment to not make sense. . and by nature BE inconsistent'.. in the first game. . . each cut scene felt like i was moving towards something. . . in SOL each cut scene felt like i was being handed another piece of tangled roap.

i just hope that he is not affraid to ask for some help in this department in the next game.

Do you think it will contribute (the patriots being dead for 100 years) to the third title, or was it just used in order to throw us off the already messed up storyline in sons of liberty?

Matt
04-25-2004, 12:06 AM
Probably the latter. MGS3 only goes back about 40 odd years (MGS1 and 2 are set slightly in the future aren't they?). They'll have to mention it somewhere in the story, otherwise a lot of people are going to be left baffled.

The first MGS had a better balance of story and action. They had a few long cinemas but in MGS2 almost every cinema was very long plus they're was a lot of them. When I was watching the Matrix reloaded it brought back memorys of MGS2's storyline. Especially the parts with the archcitech. Hopefully Kojima has learned from his mistakes with MGS3. I can't wait to play it.

Omega Blue
04-26-2004, 01:49 PM
well i think he is learning from his mistakes, i mean people dis-liked MGS2 not to the piont where it wasn't fun, but they made sure he knew what he did wrong. plus alot of people asked for the jungle setting, well he gave it to us, alot of people wanted a knife, and he gave it to us. and people wanted an ever better looking game. and as you can see he doesn't seem to be letting us down in that area. im pretty sure hes reading and listening to the Ps2 community.

Kojima already said the X-Box version of MGS2 was running and lower FPS, and dipped everynow and then. mostly because the X-Box can handle the Ps2's superious particle effects. guess why Killzone has such nice looking smoke, fire, and explosion effects. i doubt Killzone could run on the X-Box without re-doing the partical engine. i think they do this with Nam 67'

Well X-Box and PC are lucky to be getting Shellshock after the recent deal with Sony for Guerrilla to develop games only for Sony from now. But the Shellshock Engine itself I believe is supposed to be a slightly toned down version of the Killzone Engine. Killzone being Guerrilla's prida and joy :)

'Cause last time I checked... I thought the XBox had the more advanced GPU... :shock:

It must have if Kojima was commenting on it. He's more likely to know about it than us anyway.

There were slowdowns with Mgs2 for the Ps2. When you play the Snake level, at the end you need to sneak past the 2 rooms full of army men (or something like that). When you kicked the guys from the back they would all fall like domino blocks. That's when u have huge slowdown. But that never bothere me. I never played the X-box version but i heard it had worse loading times.

Like you, I only noticed slowdown on the Tanker with the rooms full of marines. The rest of the game slightly makes up for that small problem :)

i dont remeber the slow spots because i havnt played it in awhile and i cant again because i sold it...sadly. i sold it so i could get MGS3 i just sold it a little soon....but i did it with some inside info because the resale value of MGS was about to go down to just a dollar so i sold it just before it did

It's hardly something that you would see and think, "My God that's really slow!"

More like, "Ooh, tiny bit of slowdown there, never mind".

In the Online Game line-up at the end it featured a clip of Mgs3. What does this mean? Will Mgs3 have online play?

Matt

In an article I posted a while back on here it mentioned online play. I'll see if I can find it again.

Edit: Here we go, posted this back in January:

Kojima also said that MGS3 does not use the MGS2 engine, but rather an entirely new one. This is primarily because the previous engine was designed for sneaking around on flat surfaces and pressing up against flat walls with right angles--of course, natural terrain is much more random and varied, and the new engine will facilitate its re-creation in the game. In an offhand and very surprising admission, Kojima said the other reason for the new technology is that Konami is planning on creating Metal Gear Online, and the dev team wanted a more generalized engine for use with that upcoming game. Whether or not this comment actually holds water will remain to be seen, but it's quite interesting nonetheless.

Perhaps MGS: Online is what they are including in MGS3. Unless of course it's already a seperate game.

Perhaps something similar to Pandora Tomorrow where you play a guard trying to find Sam Fisher?

They said it was going to be a seperate game, i guess. You sure? 'Cause from what I've heard. MGS3: Online isn't gonna be one of those online games where you go around and shoot other playeres, but rather, you can download patches, camo suites, and other goodies... Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've heard.

Konami was in turmoil today following the shock theft of a Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater demo disk from its booth at E3 2004. This unfortunate incident, which has raised immediate concerns over potential piracy of the triple-A product, came on the back of a hugely successful showcase of the title in front of the world's press.

The theft took place late Thursday afternoon, as the second day of the show was wrapping up. Metal Gear Solid 3 is playable for the very first time at E3 2004 and has attracted huge queues of eager gamers since the Los Angeles show opened on Wednesday.

The game was running on PlayStation 2 hardware at the show, each console housed in a protective plastic casing and monitored by personnel for security purposes. But in spite of these precautions, the perpetrators, according to one eye-witness speaking exclusively to CVG, were able to make off with the code with relative ease.

"I saw two young men, around 19-20 years old suddenly pop open the plastic casing around the demo PS2," the eye-witness told us. "Within seconds they had wrenched the disk from the console and were running for the exit!"

Our eye-witness immediately informed staff on the Konami booth what had happened, but by this time the criminals had apparently made their escape.

This theft is undoubtedly a blow to Konami, and it is likely chief developer Hideo Kojima will be less than impressed that the first ever playable code was so easily swiped on its first public demonstration. It is currently unknown what steps the Japanese company will take, if any, to investigate how this theft took place and how to deal with the code theft; a company representative was unavailable at the time of writing.

On a more positive note, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater was easily one of the games of E3 2004, its playable debut - and astonishing new trailer - met with waves of enthusiasm from attendees; you can read our own in-depth hands-on impressions of the title by clicking here.

And all Metal Gear fans should make sure they check back next week when we'll be bringing you a massive exclusive interview with Hideo Kojima himself, where he talks on why we won't be seeing a more traditional Metal Gear Solid title on PSP, why the Japanese games industry is in crisis, and we exclusively reveal whether or not Kojima-san is a snake eater himself!
