Official MGS4 possible multiplat discussion thread

[QUOTE="Dualshockin"][QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]you've never gotten up to use the bathroom, answer the phone, answer the door, eat, blow your nose, etc. while playing a game? you play through mgs games all in one sitting?DireToad

[QUOTE="Dualshockin"][QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]The point in which you have to switch a disk is normally an appropriate one, they don't just make you switch the disk when your in the middle of a heated gun fight.Dreams-Visions

man you've spent the better part of the evening pissing and moaning about the horrors of swapping discs. can't you accept that if disc swapping did become necessary, Kijoma would ensure that it doesn't in any way hinder the gameplay experience? Can't you just be objective enough to realize that? Save your evening and be rational.

Meh it wouldn't bother me as much and you would definitely not see me complain once the game is in my hands, one way or the other... But I somewhat have to agree with him. Specially if this one is as short as the others... Wich it might not be even on a second play through.

But I've done this many times already in gaming and even PS fans would do well in remember the PS1 in this particular case.

If MGS does go to 360 the PS3 is doomed no matter how amazing Killzone looks

you're telling me that the ability to freeze time so you can get up and take a whiz doesn't ruin the illusion but changing a disc does?

Well if the developers put the disk switching area in a certain location then that is how they want you to experience it, so you are in fact playing the game the way they wanted you to play it.smokeydabear076

seriously his personally feeling towards swapping disc has nothing to do with game possible going multi-plat. just cause if it comes out for another console besides the ps3 and uses multiple disc why is it a bad thing when it looks like he will get the ps3 version.

[QUOTE="Spartan070"]No one had a problem switching disks in the original MGS...smokeydabear076

Why should you care how others are going to experience the game? Especially since they could care less about a minor inconvenience such as multiple disks? Since all you have been talking about is how you are going to experience the game, you should know that it will probably be on one disk for the PS3 which is the platform you intend to get the game for is it not?smokeydabear076

O god changing disks what could be worse.:lol:

Are you out of you mind mate,I dont mind changing disks ala my gamecube ownership. Dude if you get that into a game that you decide not to drink water, or its too hard to change a disk, then you got other things to worry about then going on this forum. Games are not real just to let you know; just a game mate.

O god the Disk changes:P

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"]If this becomes reality then I will be happy.Dreams-Visions

if they make it at all for the 360, that is.

So what makes X360 the "lowest common denominator"? :|

[QUOTE="Spartan070"][QUOTE="Dualshockin"] So you're saying Kojima and his team wants you to swap the disc to continue playing? Alrighty then.Dualshockin

They probbly knew from the get go that they'd have to make it multiple disks. I highly doubt they gave it the slightest concern because at the time swapping disks was sort of a prestige thing, like with FF VII. The consumer knew they were getting a large, lenghty game. The same still holds true for the most part.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. My heart... just *gasp gasp* ca-can't take it any more... ohhh when will *coughcough* the agony eeeeeend? :cry: :roll:

You know what else interrupts the game, and reminds you that you're dealing with game hardware? Turning the game off, and then starting again.

Maybe it was better in the arcades, when we didn't have saves, and had to finish our games in one sitting. Nothing to break the immersion then...

Wasnt re4 on multaple discs? I didnt see any problems there.ganon42

gamecube version was 2 disc.

ps2 was 1 disc.

Well hate to burst your bubble, but the majority of gamers don't care about this "limitation" to the extent that you do and I think that any true MGS fan would not think that this product is of lesser quality if it did have two or more disks.smokeydabear076

Keep wishing. The PS3 isn't doomed just because MGS is ported to the 360. We still get MGS4 and don't forget about our 1st and 2nd party games. Coughs GOW 3

I say the same about lack of rumble in controllers, and lack of damage in sim racers, in 2007 - simply unacceptable :)

I hope so just for the sake of entertainment LOL...

The PS2 did so well b/c it was an affordable system with a good mix of kid oriented as well as adult oriented games. NOT because of FF or MGS. While they sell really good, neither sell near enough to explain the fact that the PS2 sold 120 million units worldwide.

The PS2 did so well because it had a huge library that overshadowed the other consoles.

It will, however, still be a pretty big blow to Sony in terms of reputation and killing a lot of Sony's hype.

[QUOTE="smokeydabear076"][QUOTE="Spartan070"]No one had a problem switching disks in the original MGS...Dualshockin

Honestly Dualshokin, you keep mentioning immersion. 10 seconds out of a playthrough experience that lasts 20+ hours IN NO WAY detracts from any kind of immersion, especially with a cleverly placed "switch spot." Your entire "teh lozt immersionz!1!!1" arguement is futile, like resisting the Borg.Spartan070

The question is not IF but WHEN will MGS4 release for the 360. If Peter Moore shows off a tattoo of Kojima's face on his chest where his heart is located at MS press conference tonight, there's no more reason to watch Sony's and Nintendo's.
