... I take the lives of a few to protect the lives of many. I commit acts of war to preserve the greater peace. I take no joy in killing, but make no mistake; I'll do what needs to be done. Because it's my job. It's my duty. My name is Sam Fisher, and I am a Splinter Cell.
That's cool but it's hard to get excited for "another" stealth game when this one is going to out-MaxPayne3 Max Payne 3 with it's cut scenes. Also reasons it's hard to be excited for this stealth game: Hitman Absolution, Dishonoured...
I only played the first few hours of each of them but it was all linear so didn't like it.Originally Posted by ado
Where MGS 1 and the tanker in 2 (I hated the raiden part) felt like you were at a location, they were like squares u could do anything in. From what I played of 3 and 4 it was like a corridor and you never felt like you were at a location, just felt very gamey.
No offense men but it sounds like you never heard of MGS games,even in first 3d MGS game,there are cutscenes everywhere,i mean you get used to them,its that kind of game,which rapes you with cheesy radio calls/dialogs lol,but screw that,gameplay is quite good :x

The MGS games really don't play like anything else. Not 'they don't play like every other stealth game', but seriously, there is nothing else that even comes close to replicating the feel of the franchise.
Yes, they're very videogamey. They frequently break the fourth wall. They often give you very simple goals like 'get from point A to point B', but a thousand different ways to do it, most of them silly and inefficient, but my god, it's fun.
There's nothing quite like trapping wild snakes in MGS3, and then throwing them at guards to freak them out.
What gameplay? Pressing Start at the menu doesn't count, you know.

Enough with this meme, already! It was tired five years ago. Maybe ten. There's a reason why MGS FAQs are among the most ridiculously huge ever produced. The amount of hidden stuff and optional content in there is beyond compare.
It might be old, but it never gets boring... unlike watching MGS cutscenes... sorry, playing MGS games. And the FAQs are that long because they have to explain the convoluted, beyond parody storyline, and pieces of fan service that are thrown in.

Most FAQs don't even say anything about then but you're poking at it so never mind.
My biggest grip with this announcement is that majority of pc gamers are not familiar with story and characters from MGS games,maybe they could prepare a few min long video which briefly explains the story from previous games for us,pc gamers.

Look up the MGS timeline. Covers everything.
It's not hard to go to the MGS wiki page and spend a few minutes reading, or look up a few videos on youtube that go through the story. I actually recommend "All Your History are Belong to Us: MGS" and the GameTrailers retrospective on the franchise. Both recap the creation of the series and go through all the major plot points.

Well its either not hard to make few minutes long video,describing previous events in MGS franchise,or at least few pages of text,with explanation of MGS plot.

But there's the official Timeline. Just go and read it, man.

They're lazy? There's an interactive time line on their website :s

Look who's talking :/
I'm still sticking with my first statement,imagine you are new to the series,and to find out the plot,your only way is to read the whole thing on internet..Instead Kojima could make short brief video..yadadada,you know what i'm saying :v
Lets focus to the game now,what kind of improvements are you expecting,or are you wishing ;D

:P
I think it could just be like Peace Walker but for major systems and improvements. If anyone's played that game, it's sort of open-world like Hideo was going on about. Setting wise, I'm thinking somewhere in south Africa.
I just hope it plays like Splinter Cell.. :p
