There are a few videos of the same area, just not demo-ifed.

One of the differences I saw was that the enemy was able to parry your parry while you parried his parry.

 

[rvy]

Parryception.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Bayonetta is actually the game that conditioned me to NEVER put the controller down during cutscenes. Broke me out of those MGS4 habits.

You never know when a new enemy is gonna show up and attack you out of one. Be on guard AT ALL TIMES lol

Kamiya loves doing this.
I still have memories of this guy

and every other enemy from that game

 

[deim0s]

LOL that gif, hypnotized me!

Yep, they are the only comparative videos that I know.

I really hope that the frame rate will be more stable in the final release.

If you're still basing your purchase with the demo, are these good enough?

Doesn't the PS3 version have exclusive content? I didn't see it mentioned in the OP.

VR Mission DLC stuff coming later, yeah.

TOO MUCH HYPE.

 

[Robot Pants]

Have not been wishing a release day was here already for a game in such a long time. One more week!!!

 

[Supermanisdead]

Anyone here in Canada who pre-ordered from EB Games/Gamestop? I didn't know about the bonuses and they didn't tell me, and there's nothing on my receipt about it, so am I even getting them?

 

[Akainu]

If you're like me and will play it partly out of being a MG game, I hope you get some enjoyment out of it. Otherwise, I hope you're not playing it just to tally up what you already know you don't like about it.

Of course not. I'll just mindlessly play through it like most action games.

 

[Riposte]

The OP seems to be missing pre-order DLC stuff... which is making me do my own investigating.

 

[direct_quote]

The only thing this game is missing is a playable female character.
Please, make it happen. Make that a reality, Platinum.

If it's anything like Rachel, no........

FAQ, man. FAQ.

 

[bigboss370]

Raiden fights again after vowing to never fight again. Raiden fights to ensure that Sunny never sees combat like he did as a child, then has her helping him out.

The whole MGS story arc was already damaged by MGS4, but Revengeance pushes it towards the depths of complete and utter idiocy... At least from what we know so far. Doubt it'll change, though.

yeah not asking about rising, i'm wondering what mgs4 actually did to ruin canon.

 

[Riposte]

FAQ, man. FAQ.

Did you add that? Don't remember that being there.

Gamestop seems to be the only real choice... so w/e.

 

[Akainu]

I hate that parry gif. It shouldn't be automatic like that. I hope you can disable it somehow but I doubt it.

 

[Salaadin]

Cant wait for this game and for my lamp.
This will be my first Platinum Games game.

 

[Retro_]

I'm pretty sure Raiden has nothing to do with why Sunny is wherever she is when they meet

 

[Akainu]

yeah not asking about rising, i'm wondering what mgs4 actually did to ruin canon.

Only thing I can think of is all the nanomachines. Vamp was a bit of a sore spot. Though I remember it only enhancing his power he already had?

 

[That's What She Said]

yeah not asking about rising, i'm wondering what mgs4 actually did to ruin canon.

All it did was tie up all of the loose ends kojima left in previous Metal Gears. Some of the explanations in my opinion were messy. The real travesty with MGS4 isn't the story or gameplay, but the chapter 5 minute installs. Killed the replay value for me.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I added it pretty late last night (about an hour after the thread was posted), so it's understandable if it was missed.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

truly awesome OP!

which version looks better/lead in this case?

 

[Serra]

HYPE!

That's fixed now.

 

[That's What She Said]

That's fixed now.

Your kidding right?

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Snake survived

But I personally like my main characters who constantly get shitted on to have a happy ending.


great OP by the way!

 

[Endo Punk]

I hate that parry gif. It shouldn't be automatic like that. I hope you can disable it somehow but I doubt it.

I don't believe its automatic. You have to time it just right otherwise Raiden just blocks, that gif shows what happens if you do perfect timed parrying against that foe who parrys back. I'm sure you can evade just before he attacks as well, like you can in the demo.

 

[Guess Who]

Your kidding right?

There's a full-game install option now. Only took them four years.

 

[kewlmyc]

truly awesome OT!

which version looks better/lead in this case?

Considering the PS3 has exclusive missions and the 360 version isn't being released in Japan, so I'd go with the PS3 version.

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Get hype. The controls in the OP aren't the ones I will be using. Type C is default and on PS3 at least, Type B is better.

 

[That's What She Said]

That's great. How big is the install?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

truly awesome OP!

First of all; thank you.

Secondly; this is a common enough question that I've added it to the FAQ, right at the bottom.

 

[CaVaYeRo]

Thanks both!

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Kamiya loves doing this.
I still have memories of this guy

and every other enemy from that game

Fuck this guy. Made me cry a lot

 

[NIN90]

So wasn't the Sunny thing considered a spoiler? She was that returning character from the Famitsu reveal, right? That news with the big thread with a clear spoiler warning in the title, which I avoided?

Well thanks for that I guess.

What is better about B?

ehhh

I think it's fair game if it's been shown by in the promotion material

Nothing to stop people from making avatars of her

 

[Diablo Rosso]

What is better about B?

Zandatsu is on left stick instead of right, Sprint is R2 and lock on is R1. Blade Mode is L2 as well I think.

 

[Retro_]

Zandatsu is on left stick instead of right, Sprint is R2 and lock on is R1.

ah. Not for me then

I tried that and the transition from free movement to blade mode felt even more unnatural.

I do kind of wish I could put blade mode and lock on on the triggers though

With sprint and AR mode on the bumpers

 

[Carbonox]

Fuck this guy. Made me cry a lot

Yeah fighting multiple on Dante Must Die was always a terrifying prospect. :lol

 

[Prinny]

Nice OT! Good job Scrafty

 

[Akainu]

That attack after the perfect parry is automatic. Sure there are ways to get out of it but it shouldn't happen in the first place is what I'm saying.

 

[call_kotaku]

First part of the prologue got posted on youtube. Mostly just a cutscene and the

Spoiler

Metal Gear Ray

fight.

[Shadow2222]

That's great. How big is the install?

It is around 9 GB. Works great, loads like any normal game now.

They also added trophies BTW (but you have to start a new game).

 

[Endo Punk]

oh so you don't like the fact the cyborg parrys back? haha deal with it. I'm ready for a goddamn challange. Demo was far too easy.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Nanomachines have been in the Solid series since the very beginning.

What do you think FoxDie is?

And why are we complaining about the parry system when you have options? Of course the enemy might attack right after, or parry your attack right after. Use the many tools to get out of it.

 

[Akainu]

oh so you don't like the fact the cyborg parrys back? haha deal with it. I'm ready for a goddamn challange. Demo was far too easy.

I'm talking about Raiden.

 

[TheSpoiler]

I'm talking about Raiden.

Wut? You have to do the parry AGAIN, it doesn't do it for you (unless you are playing Easy).

 

[geebee]

The wait for this game is tough! I loved the demo.. I haven't played a demo that many times since probably the PS1 era.

 

[Retro_]

That attack after the perfect parry is automatic. Sure there are ways to get out of it but it shouldn't happen in the first place is what I'm saying.

What you're saying makes no sense though. The whole point of going for a "perfect parry" is that you want that counter attack. So I don't get the problem you have with the attack coming out automatically. If you don't want it to come out you can just block regularly. There'd be no point at all to a perfect parry if the follow up attack was a command. It'd be a completely different type of system

This is what happens when you just block that enemy

He gets staggered after blocking the 4 hits regularly. Instead if being put into an execution state
