LOL... i am way too busy to do an OT. I couldn't even help Prince do this one. I got some other requests still pending tbh... i can help if i can... but i don't think i can take on the OT :( sorry guys.
Understandable, your an artist right?
I don't recall this.
Oh, it's ok, it doesn't matter, everyone forgets everything I say!!!!
It was in regards to the spoiler I said was fucking amazing :)
I shine all the time. :)
Yep, you really do.

Something I've been meaning to ask everyone for a while, where's JayEH gone?

Indeed. i am an artist.

Jay lives in Tele chat lately. Jay is one of the good guys. Dunno why he has not posted on GAF.

Someone ping Jay and find a reason, please?

If not i'll ask him later.

He basically decided to disappear at some point during OT3
Seriously? I liked that guy.

Tom we've spoken a bit before so can I ask you a question? Is my posting style angry? I mean there's been times I've been pissed off and gone on with myself, but lately I've been hearing that my posting style is angry.

Oh and I got called a
Mutated Sn4ke_911 before, that made me lol.

I can't say I've noticed you being angry. Everything alright?
 
Its ok, We're all MGS fans here, It wasn't until I saw it in context of it being a spoiler that it made me think, you were right! :)


me? whos Tora? Should I delete the comment? I don't want to step on anyones toes round here!

Yeah I liked JayEH he was one of the only ones who'd respond to my posts when I first joined apart from you, Vally, Tom and a couple more.

Anyway, yeah I see what the art guys do in Uni so I completely understand the reasons behind not doing the OT. Personally I'm definitely not an artist, I'll have to try and dig up my sculpture I did as a part of an assignment in 3D modelling. Fuck it was hideous. I do enjoy art even though I'm shit at creating it.

I can't say I've noticed you being angry. Everything alright?

Yeah I'm perfectly fine,
just a couple of people talking in the spoiler thread regarding the spoilers and the legitimacy of them last night sparked some debates and when some guys didn't agree with me calling some of it fake (which it clearly is) he said I was posting angry lol. Then today when I was trying to get my point across as to why I didn't have a problem with the way quiet is dressed I got called what I tagged above lmao.

I'm at uni doing graphics for games.......3D I am pretty good at. I'm pretty good at putting together a playable level on Unreal 4.......but drawing I am the worst at! I almost failed my first year because of it haha.

Tora works for Konami. If he sees it he will probably take it down from YouTube

Uh.. interesting its Konami PR! I wish kojima join us in the tormented wait we are in! :p

Not that it's my or anyone's business here but how've things been for you since we're so close to release? You feeling pretty cathartic?

Just trying to take it one day at a time. Frankly.. seeing people already playing it.. and getting copies has made me a little crazy.... i can't wait already.

See, 3D modelling with CAD I'm pretty competent with but drawing and 3D modelling by hand... Well let's just say the shit I make would melt your eyeballs.

He is, he's always got something new to say and discuss.
University, I've been doing games design for 2 years. Before that I was doing IT and Business Alevels.

I love it when people can be passionate about what they work with. I still figuring out whether or not to do games or transfer over to Computer Science and broaden my horizons?

Edit: Like for me, I used to be passionate about games, everything about games I lived and breathed, it was what I always loved, they inspired me to go to uni but lately I've not been "well" if you get what I mean and I find myself not liking things I usually would.
It's strange, I can't understand or explain how I feel. I'm just scared I'll never get better and start being passionate about the things I loved.

So Shy couldn't resist on that 50 pound copy...
LOL, nah, my friend brought around his copy, and he let me play it for a few hours.

Which brings me to my question, Tora my good sir, will the PC copy of TPP have action-type-B controls (like GZ did) because unfortunately the PS4 version does not, which threw me for a loop.

thanks for your time.

That's what is giving me doubts about my future. I love using maya and been creative within a university environment..........but I'm sometimes not sure if I could cope with some parts of the industry. I'm going to give it a go because I have always wanted to do it and I feel very passionate about games and the creation of games.
Hopefully everything works out for me in the end.
Seeing games like TPP makes me depressed ;)

Cathartic is pretty much the word. This project has been around basically since I started working in this division, so it's kinda interesting to think it's coming out so soon! It's definitely the best thing I've worked on while at the company, and as a long time MGS fan I'm super excited to see what is most definitely the best MGS yet finally see that glorious release date.

I do not know of his stream, but again I would be busy playing MGSVTPP myself so ehhh not watching! BUT BUT I will GLADLY invade your base Tora!

Bring it on! >:D

tora, while you're here:

what's the situation in regards to the steam unlock for TPP. is it midnight new zealand time for all territories like robert peeler says, or do we go by the countdown on the steam store page?

thanks

Haha funny you mention the moving part.
#FUNFACT I was offered a job as a QA Tester at Rockstar in June of last year which I subsequently turned down due to me wanting to finish Uni and the pay was shit. As well as the fact that if I was laid off I'd be stuck in Edinburgh with no money and no job lol.

The reason I'm thinking of switching my course from games design to Computer Science is the Games industry is volatile when it comes to moving around, getting laid off etc.
If I stuck with my BSc Hons Games design it'd limit me to a couple of lines of work and all within the games industry. Whereas if I went with Computer Science I could do games design/programming work and if I was laid off I could then go and easily get a job as a coder for a web company etc.

Digital guys have let me know that the countdown on the Steam Store page is kinda the final say on when your copy will unlock. That being said, make sure to pre-purchase and you will get it as soon as it is released. These may not be the same time.

I think you made the right choice regarding Rockstar. From what I've been told QA testing is not a good way to get into the industry.

But what time is that? Midnight EST/PST? Or half way through the day on Tuesday? Or is it Midnight NZ time?

It's really frustrating to still get vague answers this close to launch.
 
That reminds me, I don't know whether your allowed to give your PSN out or if you even want to give it me but if do I'll gladly take up the challenge of trying to successfully invade your MB.

We're going to be hopefully organizing some dev/community stuff in the future where you'll be able to take us on. If that doesn't happen, I'll just throw my PSN out there.

Its not an easy industry. Thats for sure. But its one that is very alive, and the people in it make it wonderful. I learn every day, and i am excited to be working on big profile games now.

You do what you have to do. Whatever is best for what kind of lifestyle you want.

I moved from Mexico to San Diego, then LA, then Green Bay, Wisconsin. Then Upstate New York, now all the way back to Portland OR.

Crazy. haha

Some experiences were amazing.. some i hated them by the end. But i guess any job has that.

See, I think it could be a good way for someone without Alevels or a degree but I've heard it can be a very long,misery slow process progressing from QA upwards.

I agree on what you said about QA @ R* I don't know if I'm allowed to discuss what the pay was but it was pretty crap for the work required of you. I mean it was t bad but when you factor in Tax and costs of living compared to what I pay now it wouldn't have been worth my time.

so, if we pre-purchase it's possible it'll unlock at midnight new zealand time like robert says?

this is so confusing.

I'm finding this little conversation really interesting haha.
Moving away is almost a necessity for me if I do want to enter the industry. The closest developer to me is Team 17 - the guys that made worms.

Definitely wouldn't recommend just throwing it out there Tora, maybe quote tag it or something if you ever do give it out in the future? You will be inundated with requests if you just throw it out there.

In regards to the Dev/Community stuff, it would be amazing if we could have a sort of tournament. OuterGaf vs Konami!

Wow that's definitely some moving, like I said, I'd be prepared to move 100% every time but the pay has to be right first. I wouldn't want to put myself in a position where I'd be stuck if you catch my drift.

I'm glad you've found it good, it definitely has its ups and downs from what I know but I suppose you only get one life and those ups and downs are what makes life special and worth living.

It's certainly possible but not ideal.
Yeah that's what I was saying, it can be done but I've heard of stories of people working 9 years before they even get offered a new position. Fuck that.

basically, it is a mystery even to konami

Also, guys four days,
three if you are on PC.

That wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that global unlock time right now is set at 1pm EST / 10AM PST worldwide on the 1st. Which means for some territories, it won't be unlocking until the 2nd.

Hence why folks are wound up, because of the comments made by Robert Peeler about it unlocking in NZ at midnight NZ time, making it available for everyone who's pre-ordered.

Anyway I need sleep now. Talk to you guys tomorrow
