Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes Screens!

exclusive games are usually optimized games for one platform. This holds the advantage that it gets the most out of a given hardware. I.e. MGS2 being exclusive was built around the strengths and weaknesses of the PS2 hardware. A multiplatform game however is usually developed with various platforms in mind to make it easier to port later on.

just announced that there will be a GBA link feature too.

Wonder if it will be something ala the Tingle Tuner from Zelda ?

One of the pictures shows the M9. WTF are they bringing the M9 into it? They even said that Snakes weapons were taken from him in the original. Maybe it won\'t be in it. I hope its not. I like the neck breaking action That and its more challenging without it.

Yeah i have to agree with you on that one. I would hate to have the m9 in this game cause it just takes away from the mgs experience. Plus there are no places to hide the bodies anyway. If they make lockers just to fit the m9 in there im going to be kinda angry

It looks pathetic. Look at the textures there all blurry I hope those are place holders if not SK are total **** heads.

huh? No need to be so harsh. They are firsts and both hideo and miyamoto are working on this title. I think it might be pretty kool the way those two could revamp the game. Just wait

Mmm, somehow I like this version of Snake best. In MGS2 and 3 he\'s grown kinda bulky, but this polygon model by Silicon Knights
is best. Maybe a matter of taste.
But imo they need to darken the game a bit more. These screens look like there\'s too much light. I like the realtime shadows, the ones I can see in those screenshots though.

Hideo isn\'t even working on it.

NP: Are you working closely with Silicon Knights?

HK: No, I keep my distance, but my team is working with them.

NP: Did you handpick your team?

HK: Which, my team in Japan or Silicon Knights?

NP: Both.

HK: Of course, I handpicked my Japanese team. When we decided to make the Twin Snakes for GCN, we first looked for a developer in Japan who could create a game that met our high quality standards, but we couldn\'t find one. When I called Mr. Miyamoto for help, he said "I have a team that I want you to meet" and that\'s how Silicon Knights got involved.

Did you even read the sentance after it? I know from a sales perspective that it is not that great but to us extremely loyal ps/metal gear solid fans, (well me at least) take great pride in the fact that the ps2 has this as a ps2 exclusive. When i heard rumors about the possibility of mgs2 to go to xbox with added features i was pretty angry, (selfish but semi-reasonable for some). Now, like MGS, MGS3 is exclusive to one console and that being the heir to the throne that the first great solid was on,ps2. And you know what, whether it be selfish or not, im damn happy.

On a lighter note, i cant wait for this game and if i have offended anyone, I am truthfully sorry. Thank you, and Good Night.

So you openly admit to being a PS/PS2 fanboy?

In some way or another. In most respects no. Im just a mere fan, but when it comes to exclusives id be the same way for gamecube. If Zelda went to PS2 i wouldnt like it because its these prime single system games that make the console. Ps2 isnt the strongest but is the best in most opinions because of the games. So in all actuality im not a fanboy, i just happen to think that certain games should be unisystematic (wether thats a word or not).

:rolleyes:
do you even KNOW what the meaning of exclusive means?
say for example, halo came out on other systems. do you think xbox fans would like that? no right? would that mean THEY were fanboys? from your reply, i\'m guessing your answer would probably be no right?

Ok, maybe you\'re not a fanboy, but I still think that exclusivity is in no way a good thing. Exclusivity means fewer people get to enjoy the game. If MS hadn\'t bought Bungie and they had made Halo, but still only for Xbox, that means I miss out because I can\'t afford an Xbox.

With Zelda of course it\'s a different thing. Zelda will almost 100% never appear on other systems than Nintendo\'s, but games from companies such as Konami, Capcom, Squeenix (sounds much better than Square-Enix ), Rockstar, Activision, Free Radical have a chance and it\'s better for everyone (IMO) if the games they release are multiplatform.

yea but whats the point of second party publishers and all if they dont keep some things exclusive

ports are never a good thing anyway - like someone said when you make a game for a specific system you get better results then if it was ported to that system - thats common sense of course

anyhoo lots of exclusives are bad in the sense i agree - but the gaming world no one will get to play it all because no one has the time to do so - i say this in the sense that you find what games you like and what exclusives you look forward to and thats the console you want - sometimes you just cant get it all - but hey you can try and if you really think about it - instead of buying 4 games just get another console

although im sure i buy a lot more games then most people - im a sad sad person - i got about 45 ps2 games and 16 xbox games not to mention ps1 and older systems

currently im waiting till christmas to hit up gamecube

its nice to se the GC get some more great games, and i really like the way that they have merged aspects of MGS2 with it like the m9 & the bullet shield.
the graphics could use some work, but even without it the gameplay will more than suffice.
