Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence JPN boxart

miyuru said:
I don't believe that'll be the final boxart anywhere...

It doesn't look finished, especially with the logo and art blending like that.

It's basically finished, it looks like the LE is slightly different with it not being as green. But the overall design is the same.

So do we know if the Jpn one will use the english dub like MGS1/2 re-releases?

The Japanese trailers for MGS3S use Japanese voices so I think it'll be Japanese voices for Japan and English everywhere else.

I wish there was a better image of this where you could see the cover for the second box and the overall package.

AS an aside, SSX, your avater is yellow frogged.

I don't think the logo blends in very well, but the actual art itself looks fantastic. Are you trying to say that people enjoy Shinkawa's art simply because he is Japanese? I'd say you're the one with the problem, if you really feel that way...
Hang on, the art is fantastic, I am in no way saying it's bad. The box design, the graphic design, could've been done by anyone, is my point. It's like someone took a fantastic bit of art, copy-pasted a logo in about 30 seconds, and declared it finished.
 
All the articles about the game say its coming out next year, but all the listed release dates say november in the states. Which is it?

Well I agree with that. I believe you mistook the praise in this thread, then. People were praising the artwork, not the actual layout.

Here's a slightly closer version of it

Kind of looks like an explosion but I can't really tell.

Yah I noticed that about my avatar, can't replace it right now though. :/
 
i don't really mind missing on the 3rd disc, as 3 and a half hours of cinema's doesn't sound like something i'd ever watch, but it'd still be cool to have. As long as we still get the 2nd disc (thats the one with the ports of MG1 and 2, right?), i have no problem dropping $50 for this (along with the new and improved camera, and online play, of course) since i never bought or played through MGS3.

Oh, sorry, I just finished a Uni course on design so it tends to come first in my head. Appologies for any confusion people.

We're definetly getting the 2nd disc. It'll be the first time MG2 has ever seen an official English translation. Only downside is there's no way we'll get the original art where everyone was clearly drawn to just like some celebrity. So no Sean Connery Big Boss.

Hah, they're called SPOILER tags for a reason! Well, it's not so bad. The story still fucking rocks.

Now this is a special edition I would pay even more than full price than those so called "Limited/Special Editions" games we've been getting lately. Talk about fully loaded!!

Seriously. MGS3 is one of my favorite games of all time... this is like pure, sweet heaven. :D
 
everyone should email-bomb konami and ask for the collector's edition. they've neglected us too long, it's about time they give us an actual MGS collector's edition package. i'm sure there's quite a few people that would pay an extra $20 for whatever japan is getting

I agree with this statement!!
 
We won't get it because Kojima doesn't like us anymore for not buying enough copies of MGS3. Notice that for the first time a MGS was unveiled at TGS and not E3. :P Europe will probably get it.

is that confirmed somewhere? I remember one of the online Resident Evils featuring a black character that looked just like Ving Rhames and there was no stink made.

i'd be sad if they edited that

They re released the original games on Mobile forms with redone art, i'm guessing that'll be what we get also. Here's the new art

I thought it was unveiled at E3, or are you just saying the first MGS4 engined video?

Yeah. The MGS4 teaser was nice, but it wasn't as powerful as MGS2's unveiling. That was done here in the states, but this time, because the Japanese were more INTERESTED IN A GAME ABOUT AMERICAN PATRIOTISM MORE THAN AMERICANS WERE. >;(

kojima even joked about not releasing subsistance in the US, I blame G4 and the GTA clones for this
 
A third disc will also be bundled in first print editions of the game, which contains all the of the game's cutscenes edited into a movie-like format.

It doesn't say that it's only JPN...

Good point Bob, it's still listed as being released on November 14 on many sites. Are we sure it coming out next year?
 
I too have been waiting to hear a release announcement. I don't understand why there hasn't been one, unless it is going to be next year. Theyve said 12.22.05 is the Japanese date, so if it's coming here this year then why haven't they said so? At this point, I expect it not to come here first and maybe not even soon after.

I'd really appreciate them saying though, SOMEthing at least. I'm just getting into ps2 online after finding a network adapter for super cheap so I'd like to know if I should just pick up Subsistence or if maybe I should try BF Modern Combat or Socom 3 first.

Because those box pictures are shown on the English site as well as the Japanese one I fully expect the game to come out here, and for the third disc to be included in the 1st edition as well since it is shown. That doesn't mean they couldn't take it all back, but I'm going to take it as a good sign. I will definately pickup whatever special edition with all discs and headphones they release. MGS3 hits wicked rocks.

Anyone have ANY idea when a date might be announced for this? What the hell?

That's honestly an interesting point, but IMO it's more because American gamers became jaded and critical of the series due to MGS2 seemingly elevating pretentious bloviating over gameplay (not that this hasn't been said a hundred times already). I was/am still a fan, but obviously it eliminated a lot of the mainstream buzz, at least for US gamers. If Subsistence is seen as a reward to fans I can understand what you're saying, but if it's an incentive for people who may have been fans/may potentially become fans but were skeptical, certainly there should be a lot of those folks in America, especailly since it's generally accepted that MGS3 "redeemed" the series...
