Like, how many gameplay minutes does it take to finish? I heard it took some guy five minutes to finish??? Is this real?
Is the demo of decent lenght? Like, 45 mins to finish or something?
-
You can beat it in 1 minute. But thats only if you skip all cut scenes and run through the whole thing. If you want to have fun and explore the whole thing it can take you about an hour.
-
So what do you have to do in the demo? an aim?
-
If u cut out all the bar fights-all the exploring etc you can just skip straight to the fight with Olga at the end of the demo.
But for the real experience-u must explore everything on the demo.
EG the lockers,the tranqs to the head etc!
Doing this would take at least half hour-but it is possible to do it in a minute or 2 yes.
-
It just depends. You can get through the demo in about 5 minutes, but if you mess around and do everything there is, you could play it for alot longer.
-
It all depends on what you want to do, you can finish the demo level quickly if you want, but there\'s so much more to do. I\'ve only actually finished the demo three times but I\'ve just bummed around the levels and tried out stuff for several hours since I got it - it\'s remarkable how much detail has been crafted just into this demo level/mission.
I played the first MGS1 demo that came on OPM for ages just trying out different things and it was a lot shorter than this demo.
-
I remember when I first got introduced to the World of Metal Gear, it was a cold rainy night and I decided to order some Pizza, I called Pizza hut because I knew there was a free PSX demo to go along with the pizza.
The Demo had like 5-6 games I think they were, Gran Turismo, MGS, Crash Bandicot 2..and a couple of others.
Well when I played the MGS Demo it was up to the part where you find that black guy (who\'s really Decoy Octopus). So it was a pretty long demo, i think it took me about 30-45mintues the first time.
And then I realized that MGS was already out at that time.....(Xmas 98 or 99 i forget).

Racer,
You\'re not getting accurate replies. Yes, the demo can be beaten in 2 minutes. That\'s only after you know exactly where to go. Your first time through it will take you (give or take) 30min.. Depending on how much time you spend having fun.

- what\'s in the f\'cking box?

Thats not true. It took me 3 minutes, 1st time through. A VERY short demo IMO.

That\'s because you skipped the cut-scenes, most people the first time through will watch those.
Besides, like I said, for me I just have a blast backtracking through the demo and trying out different things.
-
Having never played Metal Gear Solid before, and with watching most of the cut scenes, it took around a half hour to 45 minutes. Second time through, I explored a bit but skipped the cut scenes.. it took around 15 minutes.
I could probably beat it in about 5 at this point, if I wanted to.
-
Ethugg, unless you had a walk through AND skipped all the cut scenes, there\'s no way you could have beaten it in three minutes. Oh yeah, and you played it on easy. If you did that, I might believe you.
-
Does it give you a good idea of the graphics? Sound quality?
-
I guarantee that you will have not seen anything like this before. The grahpics are SPECTACULAR. The only thing that tops the cg is the gameplay. Damn I play this demo more than ZOE.
I have seen Black & White running on my mates PC and while it is a nice looking game, MGS2 just tops it in some way. Granted they are two totally different genres of video games, but MGS2 IMO has a higher "Holy $hit!" rating. I think it`s the lighting and character shadows that do it.
Nothing looks out of place in MGS2. There are no over the top SFX in it, just a cold, believable atmosphere that no other game that I have seen has achieved.
-
Is the rain sequence in the demo?

Yep, it\'s raining at the start of the demo on the deck of the ship. The rain effects are just incredible.
-
Racer, go read som reviews of the demo, or go look at some picks. All this stuff was discussed ad nausem a few days ago, heck it\'s been talked about for a month.
-

All of MGS2 is real-time. No CG.

Sorry, I was referring to the graphics in general. CG(computer graphics) can mean real-time or pre-rendered, it depends on the context.
-
I play the MGS2 demo more than I play ZOE. The first time through it took me about a half hour. Now, my record is 1m19s on hard. The record for America is 1m14s (I think). I have played the demo for at least 10 hours (that is really under estimating :)). I can\'t get enough of that room with the big glass window in it.
There is just so much you can do in the demo, just imagine how much fun the full version will be.

I played it on NORMAL, and had no walk through. I dont care if you believe me or not. It was short. If it took you longer, too bad for you. And I watched the opening video\'s, then skipped the rest.

You\'re right. I thought about it after I had posted but I didn\'t care to edit. :) Though some people might take that as pre-rendered cg graphics.

The answer to your question is,it is as long as you want to make it,the guards always come back,i could play the game forever.
p.s:Ethugg you are a fool,why are you always sooo moody,what is the point in your first run through of the game,skipping all the cut-scenes?
You sound more and more like dawson,from dawsons creek,always finding something wrong,never enjoying something.
-
just got the demo, and I\'m still playing it as I speak. Damn man, that game looks, sounds and plays like it is sent from heaven. The game truly lives up to its hype, and I\'m sure that the full version will be the best game ever made!

Dawson? I won\'t even pretend you aren\'t gay for watching that crap....
I\'m moody when ppl say I didn\'t do what I did. I\'m moody when ppl hold a ****ty game (ZOE) up on a pedistal. Im moody when ppl diss a system they havent played (XB). I\'m not out of line.

Actually EThugg, you are like this everytime someone starts a conversation about a PS2 game. You always find some problem with it, whether you\'ve played it before or not. You just can\'t stand that the Playstation 2 has some awesome (possibly exclusive) games coming its way. You nitpick about the graphics, the gameplay, the length, the storyline, and how the XBox will blow it away. You are, whether you think you are or not, a total XBox fanboy. And in the words of Chris Jericho:
WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP!

**** off. I never EVER said XB would blow anything away. You can\'t name a single game I\'ve unfairly critisized. I can name more than a dozen exclusive games for PS2 that have me drooling. I find problems with games that have noticable problems. If your too ****ing blind, or have real low standards, too bad for you. I\'m not a XB fanboy, and nothing you can say will make it true. You say I start this **** every time, but I simply said the demo was short, and it was. I didn\'t diss it at all.
I have no idea who Jericho is, but why dont you take your **** out of his ******* *** and **** ***. (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dijital-underground.com%2Fubb%2Fslc.gif&hash=4631d82337502825942f313f1e57cd49b0db09dc)
(Note: No actual cursing was used in the last sentence, only *\'s, take what ever you want to out of it.)

What a come bach Ethugg you called me gay,you really must have had to think hard about that reply,i think it is more like you wish i was gay(just the sort of reply you would give).
I think it is really sad that people carnt just enjoy something,and not worrie about stupid little thing.
MGS2 was sent from heaven,and i couldnt give a **** if it can be completed in under 2 mins,i just like to sit there and enjoy the game,with out finding faultys in it.
p.s my girlfriend likes Dawsons creek,so if it is on and she is watching it ,then i have to watch it.

I didn\'t nitpick the MGS2 demo, I just said it was short... I love it, and will get the game definitely. I did nitpick ZOE, cause I h8 it plain and simple.
P.S... I guess thats a ok reason... I still wouldn\'t admit that publicly.
-
****. Double post...
-
OK Ethugg look lets just wipe the slate clean and start agian,i dont want to argue with anyone on this forum ok,so what do you say?
I wont say anything about your thoughts of games,and you dont say anything about mine,but if we agree then say something,ok.
-
Ok, but Solid Snake 88 is now down their with Nplayer-2 in my book.
