Cliffy B. and Gears of War. I can't help but wonder what kind of shooting mechanic MGS4 would have used if Gears of War was never introduced back in 06...So I say quit hating on GeoW and be thankful for one great game helping out another.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
the 3rd person shooting mechanic was used before gears (GRAW 360) for example and it was done well too. Also games like RE4 had the over the shoulder camera and excellent aiming mechanics(aside from the fact that you couldnt move while aiming which sucked)mmirza23
lol ... Re4 anyone?humber_matus
Yeah, but IIRC you couldn't move while shooting in RE4 and you could in GRAW.....so that's why everyone attributes it to GRAW
Ok this went south very quickly, and I like how some are bring up games that came out before GeoW, yet completely ignore the fact that past MGS games didn't brother using the over the shoulder view til AFTER GeoW was released.W1NGMAN-wrong again, MGS 3 subsistence used a camera like that one and was released before Gears

Re4 came out after MGS3. How could the older versions of mgs use the over the shoulder look if RE4 wasn't even out.
and lol at you thinking GeoWhad anything innovative about it, it was an excelent game but it was in no way innovating anything, just like uncharted.

No it didn't, Subsistence used a movable camera but not an over the shoulder view that you can move and shoot with.

RE4 used it, GeoW improved upon it and POPULARIZED it...I would like to see the direct quote of me saying GeoW innovated anything.

ok, so what exactly make you think that mgs4 copied Geow and not Re4 or Graw? And how did re4 not popularize it, the game sold very well.

What about GRAW.....you think GRAW had nothing to do with RE4?
I'm sorry, bt you're attributing "innovation" by Gears in fallacy.
RE4 --> GRAW --> Gears
*it's not like Re4 and GRAW didnt' sell millions of copies or anything, so you saying it was "popularzied by Gears" is actualy wrong, maybe that's the way it appeared to you, but it became popular prior to that.

I don't know, just figured they got the inspiration from GeoW just like how Naughty Dog came out and said thats where they got the idea to use their shooting mechanic.
Has that Ryan guy come out and say were exactly he got the inspiration to use the over the shoulder view for MGS4?

Naughty Dog came out and said they used the over the shoulder view because of GeoW, why didn't they say RE4? or GRAW? There are just certain games some devs get inspiration from and GeoW has been one of those games.
As for MGS4, I'm not quite sure where their inspiration came from, just assumed it was from GeoW.

no, he didnt.
WOW this has got to be the biggest damage control thread I have seen. So now we owe MGS4's awesomeness to gears huh? :roll: You must have pumped your head son.
