We have a demo. We are getting new information. It sounds like the game is going to be much better than Metal Gear Solid 2. Yet, at the same time, I'm just not too interested in MGS3. Much of it has to do with the impending release of Halo 2, Half Life 2, and yes, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (SINGLE PLAYER). But as I was playing the demo, as cool as the cinematics are, I feel the game is a bit lacking in the gameplay department. Not so much that it plays bad, but I have to say I do not like the over the head angled viewpoint the game gives you. Especially with no map. It makes it extremely hard and extremely frustrating to see enemies in front of you or to the sides. I love the first person shooting, that part is great. I almost wish the game deployed an over the shoulder 3rd person viewpoint. That would alleviate many problems with not being able to see your surroundings. I'll get the game, eventually though, because it is Metal Gear Solid and I loved the first two.

No, I barely ever even think about it. I haven't seen any of the vids since E3 2003 and I haven't been following any of the previews or spoilers. There's just been too much out for me to care. It's not like I'm not going to get it though. I'll be there on day 1 and it'll probably be a GOTY contender for me...I'm just not really anticipating it. Same with GTA and KOTOR 2.

Iawtp. I am hyped for it. Sure you pay $49 for the game but it'll be extremely entertaining and knowing Kojima; he'll stuff it full of surprises and bonuses things to go back into the game for.
The HYPE TRAIN IS HERE AND NOW!

No, MGS2 was a let down but MGS1 was great. The MGS3 E32002 or 2003 trailer was awesome though.
I will buy the game the day it comes out but I am just not hyped about it.
My most hyped title is Ace Combat V because Ace Combat IV roxx

I will buy it if the reviews say the story is a bit less retarded than 2 (the Otacon stepmother thing and the lengthy conversations with Rose that I snored through while trying to save were the two things that bothered me the most, but there were a few other annoyances. I liked the story more than the haters, but less than the superfans). I will seriously buy this based on story impressions, as I know it will play well.

i'll probably still buy it, but to be honest the demo sort of soured me on the game a little. Its not the leap i was expecting gameplay-wise, and feels like more of the same. Hopefully in the final game, they will have toned down the Codec shit and the plot won't be as shitty as MGS2.

I guess you know that you can move the camera around using the right stick. That helps when you want to look around.
Uh, you think so? As in the same thing as a Japanese special edition? I doubt it.

No, but I sure as shit know people who are. I'm not buying it this year. Twin Snakes killed my desire to play this series for awhile.

Not really.
Liked Solid 2 (PS2) - but the confusing (to say the least) storyline really ruined it for me in the end.
Played MGS on GC about 2 months ago, and I was shocked how bad the gameplay was - has not aged well at all.
I'm probably going to pass on 3 - while the trailers are awesome - it really gets me psyched for another go - there are just too many other games I want more, and I fear MGS3 is going to burn me like 2 did.
Remember how everyone was going crazy over the MGS2 trailer... then we played the game and a lot were let down... thats my prediction for 3.

MGS3 seems to be in the same boat as Metriod Prime 2 regarding hype. The hardcore Metal Gear and Sony fans are pretty excited, but pretty much all the casual gamers are going crazy about GTA:SA and multi-system gamers are going banana's over Halo 2. Owning all 3 systems, I'm most anticipating MP2 and GTA:SA, but I'll probably pick up MGS3 eventually.
