The game is still ugly even in 720p, but at least it'll be bearable with dual analog movement now.

I hope PW is as good as the rest of the series (1-4). LOVE those, and never had a PSP do play PW.

That's funny considering MGS4 is the only MGS title that is exclusive on a Sony system (besides Portable Ops). Back on topic I'm glad to play Peace Walker on the PS3 (two analog sticks yay)

If it wasn't for Sony, MGS would be nothing. Those spin of games, went to the nintendo and ms consoles AFTER the first one was made for the Sony system.

I'm done....to be that devoted to a company is kind of sad. Being a Sony fan is one thing, being a fanboy is something completely different.

One of those 10/10/10/9 scores again. They gave this exact score to FF13, and FF13 was universally criticized by everyone. Famitsu was zero credibility. If it's a japanese production, and it's on ps3, it'll get 39/40.

You are acting as if ff13 was bad leeway time I checked it had 80+ metacritic score.

Sounds good. I may have to pick it up. Even though I have the PSP version, I didn't get very far because the controls gave me fits. Being able to play it with two analog sticks alone is enough to tempt me into buying it again!

If you keep neglecting the best game in the franchise (and in any franchise), MGS4. Yes :) Yet another 39/40 (97.50 or 9.75 on a GS scale) for the Metal Gear franchise :D

Nope, i didnt, and thats exactly why didn't, because if MGS stayed on nintendo consoles, barely anyone would know about the game. Sony made MGS famous, just like how sony made many other iconic game franchises famous, only for them to betray sony.

agreed. im suprise that konami didnt release it for the original xbox(and the gamecube to I think). hopefully this means that if kojima is working on a new metal gear game, it would be multi plat.

Well, according to GS scores, he's right. Not all 3 combined though.

He's just saying that the MGS games almost always were released on Sony's console first before going multiplatform. I think that's enough to warrant it being called a Sony franchise.

Could this multi platform HD collection mean that the main series is going properly multi platform. Maybe one of the reasons they weren't before is because they didn't think the audience on other consoles would get what was going on.

Do you need to have a fair idea about the story to get what MGS4 is about?

i think there's a big difference between 80/100 and 39/40. An almost perfect score vs a 'might be worth checking out' score.

MGS4 is 100% fan service and ties up every loose end in the series. You MUST play at least the first three MGS games to understand it. If you really want to be in on everything though I would also play Portable Ops and Peacewalker as well. Then MGS4 becomes a glorious epic ending to an amazing series. And if you have time beat the original Metal Gear 1 and 2.

I think playing Peace Walker after MGS4 is far more effective. It really makes you go, "oooo crap!" What an amazing game and easily the best PSP game period.

Too bad you can't say that about MGS4, not trying to sound condescending or anything but MGS4 is a must play.
