Our new online multiplayer mode, FOX HUNT, launches Fall 2025!Experience exciting hide-and-seek style gameplay based around central elements of camouflage and survival.

Awful, I remember when a game was released complete

MGO3 was delayed about a month after Phantom Pains launch, so, classic konami only hitting half-way.

 

[The_hunter]

Looks fun, I like these pack-in multiplayer modes in games. Like the 7th gen era.

 

[clarky]

Hopefully lots of skins and battle passses up for purchase along with this mode. Down for some mil-sim themed boxes to hide in

 

[Peroroncino]

I see this as a bonus, so no issue for me.

 

[Anthony Soprano]

My prediction for this is there will be no anti-cheat and people will be firing up CheatEngine on day 1 and setting speed to 2.0 and running around just like the Resident Evil multiplayer games as of recent.

If a game's gimmick is not being spotted and PC cheaters will be able to enable ESP to see exactly where someone is, what's the point? I doubt Konami support is going to cater to cheat reports, too.

 

[Shane89]

I somehow agree with that. This allow more people to enjoy the single player masterpiece experience

And even AA games like Homefront were expected to have multiple MP modes on launch, and they did.

Cross play off baby. I pity the "master" race.

S. East, GG, Brown Town, KillHouse A let's go.

To be fair, you had to buy the updated version of MGS3 called "Subsistence" to access the multiplayer MGO1, and 3rd person camera.

Ah, thank you!! Homefront...

I was trying to think of one of those easily-forgotten PS2/PS3-era games which tacked on extra modes trying to sell a "complete package" at full price to compete with the good and popular games of the genre even through sheer feature-stuffing and marketing fluff, and I was having trouble thinking of a game memorable yet forgotten enough to prove the point that development effort was wasted on features for bulletpoints to the back of the box rather than having efforts concentrated on either all-good MP or good SP. I was thinking like, Area 51? No, nobody alive can talk about that game's modes being good or not. Dark Void? No, that MP mode got canceled. Spec Ops: The Line? Yeah maybe, but that was late in that "Who's this f***ing other stuff supposed to be for?" era. But then there it is: Homefront, perfect example!

So anyways, they don't make games like it's the 2010s anymore because things changed. Sometimes for the the better; sometimes not.

We'll see how Fox Hunt turns out, but I don't see how rushing it a few moths for the boxed release would have made it a better product than releasing it when it's ready?

 

[Sub_Level]

 

[Connificent]

Could be fun I guess

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

But lets ask 80€ for a basicly unfinished package. NICE one Konami

 

[Variahunter]

S. East, GG, Brown Town, KillHouse A let's go.

Damn, it was the best MGO for me. MGO 2 didn't quite hit the same chords.

 

[Variahunter]

I mean do you consider the original, without the third person camera, without all the bonuses (MG1 and 2 notably, MGS theater) and without the online multiplayer to be an unfinished package ?

Because all of these modes came with Subsistence, so the full package was 120$…

There are so many cheaters on pc thats impossible to fight them in any capacity.

 

[ComputerBlue]

It doesn't even launch with the game???

Fuck that then I'm cancelling my pre-order, gonna wait till it's a complete edition.

Also they had a golden opportunity to bring back MGO, and they fucking blew it.

 

[Nvzman]

Awful, I remember when a game was released complete

MGS3 and MGSV both had multiplayer releases after launch, the collective amnesia is astonishing.

It's just a small mode too, who the fuck honestly cares.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

These kind of side multiplayer modes need to be real bangers to have more than 40 players on the servers within two weeks.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Awful, I remember when a game was released complete

Meh, online modes are a waste of disc space

 

[Liopleurodon]

It will just be a nice little bonus for fans to play together, not something meant to set the world on fire.

 

[IFireflyl]

 

[EverydayBeast]

MGO2 was a thing in high school, the stealth mode they're talking about is essentially sneaking mission, with the little rubber ducky or frog



One of the weirdest shooters ever

 

[adamsapple]

This game will not support cross-play between platforms.

Kind of an ass-backwards move in 2025 where a game like this would thrive on the max amount of people playing together.

At least I can play this without cheaters.
They probably won't have anti-cheat on this.

This getting delayed is a good sign. It was never originally a selling point so it's purely an add on but the fact they're taking it's launch seriously bodes well.

PS5 master race rejoice. Can't wait to play ps5 only lobbies.

 

[corgiix3]

I still feel like this MP is a complete unknown. But as a Splinter cell and MGS stealth multiplayer die hard im mad curious.

 

[R6Rider]

Splinter cell

Fucking hell the memories of Spies vs Mercs just hit me hard.

It was so damn good.

This is how Rockstar did it with GTA5 and probably what they'll do with GTA 6.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

No MGO no buy. That would have been the only reason to get this "remaster". This shit is gonna be pure slop coming from that studio that did Oblivion remaster.

People have to find something to be outraged at these days.
