For the first game I actually prefer the US cover. The artwork + title font color in the PAL one really don't mesh.
I'm not really sure about MGS2's US cover, I think it's the same as the PAL one but I don't really like that one either, the choice of colors, the orange etc, looks ugly. I prefer the japanese cover for that.

Cool? I don't understand why it's him specifically.

Yeah, the screenshot doesn't really show that at all. It's still pretty ugly.
I think it's awesome.
Nah, I think I prefer it. I love both though because of the art.
Solid Snake in Bloodstained, can't wait.

I love MGS2 SoL PAL/NA.
Think about that figure for a moment.
Now compare the work that went into MGS4 (linear structure so minimal time spent building scenes) and the amount of work that's gone into MGSV, taking into consideration that it's open world, (asset building would have taken ages and a whole chunk of that 100M) has numerous side missions (another chunk), engine dev costs Etc.
An extra 30M for a game that will surpass MGS4 in every possible way doesn't seem like the big jump its supposed to be.
I wonder how much of that went to Kiefer...

It would still be a hell of a lot cheaper than GTAV's $265m (the 4th most expensive movie ever made).
Lol
Also, I can see why Konami is pissed at Kojima for having a budget that massive for a game.
The U.S. edition of MGS1 is really nice despite being "plain": the red lettering is reflective red metallic "leaf" printing: it adds a nice "Classy" look to the "plain" white background.
It also somewhat echoes/foreshadows the opening Konami logo screen...
I think if your first experience with MGS art is with a plain white background with a metallic red-lettered jewel case from the "pre-Internet" era, then it's rather iconic in its simplicity, if not somewhat daring and bold to sell themselves on "Just their name".
I personally love that case!

I agree, I love the PAL cover art but that's what I've grown up looking at. I can understand why people would like the US version though.
I don't like just plain text covers. We had that with the Final Fantasy games here. I remember seeing the NA FF7 and FFX cover and being very jealous. I would have preferred those over the boring ones we got:

I was wondering that too, do you guys reckon it was in the $1M Mark?
Movie? GTAV has more gameplay than most if not all games in the same genre ever made.
Hell, Kojima even said he was depressed by GTAV and said MGSV won't be as good (yeah, I don't believe him either) because the player has more control and freedom in GTAV.
Haha, probably shouldn't have revealed my namePossibly? What do you think Jenkins?
Edit - Sorry for double posting
I don't know tbh, he probably did.
I think around $900,0000-$1M.

I think it's a bit hard to tell until we know how much dialogue he has.
Nice. I like the formation there too.My Metal Gear Collection

even if you knew how much dialogue he had. do you have a frame of reference to figure out how much they paid him? i feel like you guys are just throwing out numbers

I'm not saying that at all. Seeing as it's the most expensive video game ever made, it's logical to next compare it with movies for budget. And if it were a movie it would be the 4th most expensive.
Thanks! I really like MGS2 too. I'm inclined to say that from all the default NA covers, that I like MGS2 the most too; MGS4 is not really in the conversation due to no Shinkwa art, but I almost like them equally for their own reasons. Hard to pick... Too much nostalgia.
Thanks for the comment. The formation was certainly not haphazard.
Took a bit of experimentation to fit it all on the posters without it blocking too much of Raiden or Snake while still having a sort of order and pattern that "flows" and allows for grouping of content type and a sort of cross-section of both pre and post MGS1 timelines; surprised at no comments about the posters......but in case anyone might wonder, no, I have not, and hope to never have to, work at a GameStop! :/
No offense to those who do, but I wouldn't want to turn my favorite hobby into something that I have to sell to others. Though I'm grateful for the Manager at the store who let me have the posters once they were allowed to come down!

gtav is impressive and all, but i didnt really find the gameplay something amazing, and in the end its all i cared about. the world isnt really that impressive either, american cities dont interest me that much.
Yeah, thats why I wouldn't want to work there either.
I agree. I mostly play GTA games for the crazy story, characters and humour.
Give this a read.
Celebrity voice actors can earn up to $750,000 per hour.

If Sutherland earned anywhere near that much then, wow, just wow lol.
Makes sense that
Quiet is literally quiet.
Code talker probably is a mute who only writes code.
Skullface only has a couple of lines.
Big Boss is a mute.
Sorry for the double post guys.

ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS? Half of GTAV's alleged budget?
Jesus that is insane.
Then again it could be split down the middle, development of a new engine and then the game on top of it.

Which V lacks. Story is boring, characters are flat and stupid. Trevor is funny only at the beginning. And the map is empty.
This is the Japanese cover.
This is the Japanese cover that was for the premium edition. (i've got this one)
Please note, that title is an embossed metallic silver (that looks quite nice) this pic doesn't do it justice

thanks for the info. i highly doubt sutherland made even remotely close to that. that's more than he made per episode of 24 when the show was at its peak

My version definitely has his artwork.
I thought it was a masterpiece due to it's deconstructive narrative.
So Kojima was right about the possibility of never meeting Quiet.

Is Kiefer even real?
I wasn't even aware you could change it...
I don't think you can change it on mobile.
That's what I mostly use anyway.
