[Toots]

What an OT, bravo !

 

[roosnam1980]

 

[R6Rider]

Very nice OT.

 

[phant0m]

Well done Judge Magister

Anybody know if preload is available yet?

 

[Sticks]

 

[Chuck Berry]

Holy shit at that OT man

Yeah, uh, I think I'm going to have to get this on Thursday instead of Gears...

Also never have played it. And I got a weeks vacation starting on the 28th...

 

[Gonzito]

Wow awesome OT! Cant wait to play it, gonna be my first playthrough

I was obsessed with this game in 2004. You are going to love it for sure

 

[DKehoe]

Fantastic OT, Judge Magister . Great work!

 

[NeonGhost]

Hungry for more frames

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Is there any reviews for the PC performance?

 

[Killer8]

Thread of the year for the game of the year.

 

[ssringo]

Great OT. Like holy shit big props for the effort.

...but this part had me giggling like the idiot I am.

[clarky]

Nice work on the OT Judge Magister

 

[saintjules]

Very nice OT. Almost made me want to get this day 1.

 

[clarky]

Very nice OT. Almost made me want to get this day 1.

Holding off on this one personally, played it loads of times already and I suspect the PC performance will be like one of D-Dogs turds.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm holding out for a patch. Otherwise will pick it up when it's cheaper.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

I'm still on the fence with this one. I was thinking it was an obvious choice on PC but it seems like it has some issues and a 60 fps cap.

I might go with PS5 if the PC version is indeed fundamentally broken.

Then again, I could also just go back and play the PS3 HD version.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Fellow snakes, the time is almost here.

 

[Uncle Moe]

Raising the bar on what an OT should be. Superb work, Judge Magister

 

[delirium trigger]

I know there are some framerate issues but it looks really good.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

An OT worthy of the GOAT, can't fucking wait to be back in this world, it's been too long!

"The world's first HALO jump"

"A true Patriot"

"You're pretty good!"

"The dead are not silent"

So many god-tier moments, Kojima in his bag, physical copy arrives Thursday, let's fucking go!

 

[GymWolf]

That ot title sound like a porn movie title located inside a zoo or somethin...

Noice.

Sexy and biblically accurate title? what is there not to love?

 

[Anthony Soprano]

What's this savage minigame originally from? I don't remember it in the original or Subsistence versions.

On PS2 it has to be triggered in Groznyj Grad. It's a playable nightmare sequence made by Shuyo Murata.

 

[yogaflame]

Snake! Snake! Snake!!!

MGS3 is back.

 

[Judge Magister]

Great OT. Like holy shit big props for the effort.

...but this part had me giggling like the idiot I am.

Thanks for the compliment.
I wrote "spoiler warning" because i don't want to get blamed by someone for spoiling the minigames or even the trophies icons.

 

[The_hunter]

What mode is everyone playing? Legacy or modern controls?

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Is there any reviews for the PC performance?

I played Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater on PC, and unfortunately, the port is quite flaky. That's something we often see with Japanese titles, but I was hoping for more. The game starts strangely, with a long shader compilation behind a black screen. After a few minutes, I thought the game had crashed. How much effort would it have been to just show a loading bar here? The game also crashed to a black screen after completing the Guy Savage minigame, where I suspect it should have returned to the menu.


Furthermore, the game forces you to use FSR (or TSR), and you can only choose between 30 or 60 fps. Yet, I still experienced frame drops. Ultrawide support is completely absent. Even at 1440p, I couldn't get a stable 60 fps with FSR in quality mode (performance helped somewhat, but still resulted in dips). It was even worse on my TV in 4K, although it looked stunning. So I hope the console versions are better optimized.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Review – Brave remake, brakke port

Prachtige beelden, maar minder bite.

hopefully it will be cleaned up eventually

Edit: Quoting below with gameplay to avoid being lost in the thread.

Doesn't look terrible.

 

[Judge Magister]

What mode is everyone playing? Legacy or modern controls?

I think everyone is using modern because it feels a little more like V.
Also legacy camera, i got to be honest here, since Subsistence i never played the game with top down camera again.
Modern controls have a bullet drop effect though and make distant accuracy a little more difficult.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

In 4 days I will be on vacation, I will buy it next Friday or Saturday.

No, I get it. Was just funny seeing old history about the world post WW2 being the first thing under the spoiler warning.

 

[DeVeAn]

I can't find any performance details on the XSX version. Also, doesn't seem to be a play anywhere title bummer.

Does anyone know when the launch dates and times are for the 48hr early access period?

In most cases as soon it's 26th it's live. NZ went live 12AM o'clock at least on Xbox.
On Steam you can check how many hours left anyway.

phant0m i think on both consoles and Steam by now

 

[Zacfoldor]

Best Metal Gear. I'm gonna clear the jungle of snakes. Soon.
