OF THE BROTHERS GONE..
We're just crashing after that hype overload.

Thread is rebooting.
Guys. My hype is through the roof with this whole "big news on Wednesday" thing. I'm going to finish Dying Light this week and then start my Metal Gear full series playthrough. Should I do all the games over spring break, or space them out until launch (let's assume it's in June)?
I think I'll do this order;
MG1 and 2 (MSX)
MGS1 (first time ever playing the whole thing)
MGS2
MGS3
MGS PO (might skip this one, not sure yet)
MGS4
MGS PW
MGR (IT'S CANON DEAL WITH IT)
MGS GZ

Spring Break Marathon.
I wish I had a way to stream it. That'd be fun. I could at least double dip for GZ on PC and stream that and Rising, I guess.
Also, which do you all think is better for PW, PSP (I'd play it on Vita) or PS3?

Nice! I plan on doing a marathon once we get a release date. I almost hope it's not too soon, so I can get through them all and still have time for new releases lol.
Let the hype come back to life.
No...my body isn't ready yet...
I only played it on PS3 but it was pretty good.

PS3 since it has a higher frame rate.
Ah ok. I've played a bit of it on PS3 already a couple years back when I first bought the HD collection, but I wasn't sure if the experience fit the PSP better or anything. I'm always down for higher framerate.
Just remembered, Hotline Miami 2 is next week. That'll have to fit into my Metal Gear schedule somehow.

I've finished recently:
Metal gear (msx)
Metal gear 2 (msx)
Metal Gear Solid (PS1)
Metal Gear Solid 2 (PS3)
Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS3)
Just tonight started mgs4. God what a weird game. Why is johnny in this game?? Who approved this?
I tried to play portable ops but nope fuck that shit.
Will finally play peace walker after 4.
Portable Ops isn't bad, I just don't know how well it's aged since I played it. I played it 2 times in 2010, loved it, but I have a feeling that after playing what little I did of PW I can't go back.
We already know the headshot ding is back based on the MGO3 trailer.

Wish Sn4ke, LD and Cipher could be here.
Jesus... so its sounding like I missed a purge. Was wondering why LD hasn't posted in the last handful of pages. Fuck.
RIP homies *salute*
no/no
Ahhh, mkay mkay. I can't keep track of who got banned for what and how long around here anymore.

Skip MGS PO and I wouldn't count MGR as worth listing even if you play it. Only the Kojima-directed games count, IMO.
Yeah, I probably will skip MPO. Played it 2 times already anyway, and the story is simple enough to just read to refresh my memory.
As for MGR, I'll spare 6 hours to replay it. Gotta give the PC version a whirl anyways.

oh yes
That sound didn't seem synced with any of the headshots, I thought it was added to the trailer as a sound effect

Thought about coming in here to ask how I should do my own playthrough; chronological or by release. But then I was watching some of the old MGS3 trailers, which are magnificently cut, and I remembered how fucking stoked I was to be seeing a younger Ocelot, after having seen him in MGS1 & 2, and to finally be seeing the story of the dead man (Big Boss) who's presence loomed so large over MGS1.
But it is a huge undertaking to replay everything from the beginning... and I've been putting it off until I can get enough duckets to import the Japanese version of the legacy collection. I pretty much know the dialogue of every game backwards and forwards, and the lip syncing issues really bother me in the English versions.
But goddamnit do I want to just bust out the PS2 and play Snake Eater right now.

By release. Chronological can be really jarring not only from gameplay but also because of the retcons in later games.
Three different headshots at once. Not to mention none of the headshots seemed instant anyway, like there was even some sort of lag. Look at the opening of the trailer when they're running into position. Big Boss' rifle isn't synced with his body movements.
Regardless of whether that sound effect was added in or not, they wouldn't have put it in the trailer if it wasn't going to be in the game.
I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at here but MGS retcons things all the the time.
To be honest, I've never understood why anyone would want to play through the games in any order other than release order.
Yeah, the story jumps about a bit in terms of the timeline, but they were always making up the story as they went along anyway, so if you play them in timeline order, you run the risk of missing out on certain references or bits making no sense without context.
Also, the series has developed so much over the years. Every game improves on the formula of the previous installments in some way, to a point where it's probably pretty jarring to start with MGS3 and having the camo and the camera and the improved controls and getting used to that before getting to MGS1 and having to put up with a fixed camera and far less sophisticated stealth mechanics.

So Sn4ke's ban could be like BB's coma.
Like the selfie feature? They aren't sure they will implement it yet and it was shown on the trailer.

Yuck. Keep selfies out of my videogames. Absolutely disgusting.

MGS V Announcement.
Our fans, you have waited for quite some time for the release date, but you'll have to wait a little longer for the game's actual release... I'm afraid, it will release in 9 years.
