I'm going to have to take a rain check on the getting this game though. (Too many other games)

Will try to keep tabs on the the thread though for impressions and what not.

You can get the game for £16.93 at The Hut if you use the 10BANK voucher code. (EDIT: as said on page 1..)

No Collector's edition or Accessory set for Europe?! Son of a-

Any higher res pics of the AshxShinkawa art? So pumped for this!

Haven't been following PW, but...MGS5? Has anything official been said about that being a proper alternative title?

It was called MGS5 during development, there was even an alternate logo with 5 in it.

Will this game give us any sign on how did Big Boss become the evil character he was in MG1?

I'm very interested in the game. And OP was so well done, it read like a PR :lol .

Wow, this is an amazing Official Thread. Great job, you may have sold me a game. And I haven't even charged my PSP in probably 7 months at least. But now I have to.

Oh fuck. I forgot this was coming out so soon.

Guess it'll be bought day one.

That's understandable because the PSP has a bad library of games...

OK, so what's the word on this game running on CFW PSPs?

I have a PSP3000 with CFW that I would like to use for this, but I fear that it will not run. I don't want to eliminate CFW from that PSP either.

If it will run straight from the UMD, I'll be all over it.

I guess you could consider it a retcon but with MGS3 you learn two things...

1) We're told throughout the whole game that Boss is evil, and then after she dies we learn shes a hero despite going down in history as one of the biggest villains (which was stated by Eva in the epilogue)

2) Big Boss is bad ass and honorable (at the time at least)

I think the story of MGS3 was trying to say that Big Boss went down like the Boss. He was a hero but went down in history as a villain. Thats my interpretation anyway.

And they really continued on that path with the MGS4 ending and now with Peace Walker.

You have to remember that Zero (who became Big Boss' enemy) created a clone of Big Boss which of course would have freaked him out and is why Big Boss initially wanted to kill Snake. Also, in the MGS Database it states that Big Boss was a snatcher during the events of MG2 which means that he wasn't really himself and it explains why weird shit happened (like child soldiers). If Big Boss was truly evil at any point, it was during the events of MG2 (at least in the post MGS4 universe).

Does he have to be evil? It's just that he had a different vision than the patriots that's all.

no special treats for me...getting the psn version

You get the special treat of having faster loading times, more battery life, no UMD cranking sound, and you're going to be able to use it on the PSP2. That sounds like a treat to me.

It should be up Tuesday. Probably even before the PSN update because it's such a big release. Hopefully at midnight.

I was hoping concrete news of the PSP2 would have leaked out by now so I wouldn't have to make a tough decision on when/what to buy in terms of PSP-3000, PSP Go and UMD MGSPW or PSN MGSPW

If money's not an problem, get the Go + PW download. Not only will you be getting the best PSP, but you will probably be able to play that copy of PW on the PSP2. Otherwise I would suggest getting a 3000 + the download. If you buy the UMD, you will not be able to play it on the PSP2.

Is Portable Ops on PSN? If not, then I won't be able to play that if I get a Go.

I still haven't finished Portable Ops because of the bloody controls.

1- Is it better for me to finish that and then play this?
2- Is the controls better than Portable Ops?

thanks in advance.

1. For story reasons, yeah. But if you really can;t get through it, just watch the cut scenes on Youtube.

2. Yes, insanely better. There's a demo on PSN. Go try it.

Great OP as always :) I hope zavvi is nice enough to send this to me fast! Gonna have to check out this RemoteJoy thing for once even though I don't have a slim. Is it possible to turn off the PSP screen and still use the buttons for controls to save battery life?

Edit: Oh wait, duckroll, you bought the PSN version right? How big is it? :S
