LOL

who's the hawkeye of giant bomb

 

[sjack]

Holy crap, it's amazing how mad people get when you make a joke about comic books.

Dan, what if Rocky trained so hard that he became a Super Saiyan?

 

[Patryn]

Hey, as long as we can all agree that Green Lantern was fucking TERRIBLE, we're all good.

So since they are currently playing MGS 3 I was thinking: How is the 3DS version of the game? I kinda want to play it but that silly Kojima refuses to release the collection for PC so I'm screwed. It's currently 13€ on Amazon which seems pretty reasonable.

Me.

Someday somebody is going to ask "Who only sings twice a day?" and this day will redeem my name.

I think the performance was a little dodgy but it's otherwise fine? There was a demo, it's probably worth checking if that's still there.

Honestly, not a fan of the new details on the characters' faces.

I love Vinny Playing Dragonball games. I have no interest in ever playing them but I never get tired of him talking about the insane plot or how the characters are named after vegetables.

 

[shadyspace]

I think you need a CPP to use the Subsistence camera.

 

[FStop7]

UNIEL Quick Look with Jeff and Jason please! It hit PSN today over here, would be cool to see them give it a shot.

It's awkward question time again, there's no room for video games.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

MGS3 pretty much requires a CCP and it also runs like poo gas on the 3ds. If it's the only way you can play it then it's better than nothing but I'd recommend the vita version if what you're looking for is a portable version.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

That's a damning critique if I ever heard one.

I have a New 3DS, no idea if that works. Anyway, for 13€ I'll try it.

It does. The C-Stick acts as the CPP in all games that have a CPP option.

EDIT: :lol reading the MGS3D additions and I didn't know they added crouch walking. Drew was just complaining about the lack of that in the MGS Collection version they're playing.

 

[broncobuster]

Plays like Peace Walker PSP without CCP or New 3DS. Face buttons control the camera, other controls crowd the d-pad and shoulder buttons.

Pros of the 3DS version are is updated controls; left trigger aim, right shoot, crouch walking, move while free aiming. Cons are everything else. Even if it's the worst version of Metal Gear Solid 3, you can't go wrong playing Metal Gear Solid 3.

Cool.

They should try to finish MGS 3 and then do a livestream of the last episode of MGS 4 the day before MGS V launches. Though that might be a bit too promotional for some people, I dunno. I like the idea.

Yurr gunnuh love dis, trust me. Whut yur seein' now is my nohmal state.

Dis is a Supah Saiyan.

And dis... dis is whut is known as a Supah Saiyan dat has ascended past a Supah Saiyan. Ohr, you could just call dis a Supah Saiyan Two. Heh, jus' wait.

An' dis-- is to go even FUHTHER BEYON'!

 

[chaobreaker]

Is Dan at GDC?

Eh, 3DS games look better on the system than they do on just about any other screen as the low resolution of the screen hides a lot that can otherwise be seen at higher resolutions.

At least that's what i tell myself when i'm not crying about how jaggie everything looks on my n3dsXL compared to my vita & iphone.

 

[TharpDaddy]

You sit there and tell me this doesn't look like total ass:

Might just because I've never played a Metal Gear game, but that doesn't look bad to me? Looks like a 3DS game.

As somebody whose played the original, I think they fucked up Sanke's face badly. The Boss is even worse.

 

[LiK]

I read the framerate is also bad. not worth playing on 3DS at all.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I....I guess? It'll probably look fine on a 3DS though.

 

[stump sock]

I mean I'd argue that playing vanilla Snake Eater on a 17" CRT tv on PS2 is probably the worst possible version of that game but it was just fine for what it was

My main issue is the new details on his face, but sure.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

the original picture should be quoted, too

that way everyone gets to have the "well that doesn't look so b-WHOA JESUS" moment I did once I clicked the smaller image

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I....I guess? It'll probably look fine on a 3DS though.

Adding to the issue is the fact that the performance level of the 3DS game is pretty awful, operating at a baseline 20 frames per second, and often dipping below that during gameplay. Here we've got hold of one of Nintendo's special 3DS "partner" units that feature twin DVI outputs, allowing for a range of different video output options unavailable on a retail unit. This allows us to capture and analyse gameplay, and we can also confirm that nothing seems to change when switching to 2D mode. You can see a full stereoscopic version of this video over on

Hey you're onto something

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Also the Digital Foundry Drame Rate Video for the 3DS version The game runs anywhere between 14 - 20 fps

tbh that seems much more like a valid complaint than "his face looks funny"

no offense

 

[ratcliffja]

who knows, but they mentioned a few times on 8-4 Play they only worked on Origins cuz people kept thinking they did the shit VO, haha

Baten Kaitos had bad VO, but nowhere near as bad as Xenoblade. Ugh.

 

[Tucah]

MGS3 tomorrow, woooo

 

[Jimmyfenix]

yesssssss

YESSSSSSSSSS! I hope Dan does not help Drew too much this time, there was a bit too much handholding this time.

I was glad I could turn off the VO in BK. infinitely more pleasant to play.

Well, that....is a reason not to buy it.
Maybe I can find the PC version anywhere.

Have fun

Spoiler

with those emulators

there is no PC version. Your choices is Subsistence on the PS2 and the HD collection on the PS3, 360, and the Vita.

Shame really. Maybe the ps2 version emulates well on the PC but I believe it's locked to 30.

 

[stump sock]

it apparently emulates pretty well, so if you have a half-decent PC it might not be a bad way to go.

 

[Mr. F]

I read the framerate is also bad. not worth playing on 3DS at all.

I wonder how it would perform on the New 3DS, or if the framerate is an issue inherent to the game itself.

AFAIK older games do not take advantage of the better hardware on the n3DS so it would perform exactly the same as before.

 

[AngryMoth]

Gotta say I think they made a bad decision picking PAX over GDC. All this crazy VR stuff going on, and their livestreams were some of my favourite content from last year.

 

[shadyspace]

Any of you guys been playing Helldivers?

 

[Megasoum]

It's not really their decision... Even if they stayed in SF to do streams, all the devs are leaving early for PAX.

 

[Xater]

Any of you guys been playing Helldivers?

Yes, played it a lot today.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I was listening to some old podcasts around the time Vinny was leaving. It was interesting to hear him talk about how he was hoping that he and Alex would have time to do more projects, longer term projects and such. Right now all they're doing seems to be Unfinished with a few exceptions; I wonder if something is in the works.

To be honest, I think they need to get a third person at GBE, because hearing the same duo over and over is a little boring.
