Good reviews but it needs patches to fix performance.

 

[Bojji]

Is opencritic stupid?

They have to use Ai or DEI people that are clinically retarded.

86 metascore is much, much higher than I expected, now I'm excited, seriously.

The game itself is deep and elegant even by today's standards, so if they've recreated it successfully then it's a 90. Unfortunately the UE5 fears have come to pass, no stuttering though from the sound of it which is a plus.

 

[Draugoth]

Does this game have scores like in MGS V? Or can I kill everyone with no repercussions?

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

This review is absolutely stupid and nonsensical. Some people should not write reviews or even have the privilege to reviewing games

Some of these people think they're Hunter S. Thompson and T.S. Eliot illegitimate love child and that their genius is simply stuck in the gaming ghetto for now.

They're just waffling goofballs. They can write all they want though, I think it's funny.

3AM embargo time.

wtf man

But happy at how it's reviewing so far.

 

[Kacho]

Glad it turned out well and remained faithful to the original. Not day 1 but soon.

 

[Topher]

The worst part is that its been a couple of hours since the review was uploaded and they still haven't changed it. Its so stupid

That's what they get for including reviews in Spanish

Go right ahead, see what happens.

[Boo Who?]

So when can UE5 go away? No word on PC performance yet?

I can wholeheartedly advise to just play the game how you want to and worry about that stuff in a subsequent playthrough.

I mean, they're reviewers, some of them always have been and nothing has changed. Just depends on who you want to flock to.

Yup, it's why I never understood review praise. People talk mess about reviewers, but then they still crave their numbers, lol. If anything looking at the total summed percentage is enough to go, "Oh, okay it's apparently pretty good" or "it's shit". Finding out for yourself is the best method, especially if it's something you're genuinely interested in IMO.

 

[R3TRO]

Glad I missed it the first time around so it'll be a new experience for me.

 

[Zacfoldor]

 

[kindaGoth]

My two biggest curiosities:

1. Have they added any exciting new game plus unlockables? Extra high difficulties or new gameplay modifiers

2. How has the ai been altered to counteract the new camera and controls.

If anyone sees anything please lmk

Yup, going to wait for patches on PC before jumping in.

 

[RAIDEN1]

An absolutely pointless remaster when clearly it was the original game from 1998 that needed it the most..

[Boo Who?]

This game went from must buy to hard pass for me. Oh well, plenty of other stuff to play.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Remaking arguably the most beloved MGS without Kojima and having it be a great game that people accepted was going to be nearly an impossible task. Looks like it doesn't land beautifully for everyone but that it is earnestly a great game that people will accept. Really happy for Konami that they were able to accomplish this.

 

[Metnut]

Glad it reviewed well. Def want to play this but I'm still in the middle of DS2, so not gonna back to back Kojima. Will play this maybe end of the year or early 2026.

capped to 60FPS on PC ....

You get ranked at the end of each playthrough (which is generally 2-5 hours long on subsequent playthroughs when skipping cutscenes) and get a higher rank depending on kills, alerts, healing items used, and time taken. Some ranks have special requirements like requiring you to eat every animal & plant in the game.

I would recommend playing the game at least twice. Once for the story, and then another time for one of the special ranks such as Kerotan, Markhor, or Foxhound.

 

[EN250]

Yeah, it's just a glorified Remaster, as expected. Gonna buy it anyway.

Why you wanted something different from a remake/remaster of MGS3 in particular? Game was great back in the day, now it has great graphics, doesn't need to change anything, well, except some of the stupid kerotan locations...

 

[Rush2112]

IGN gave it 8/10. Its bad.

A good Remake can stand on it's own alongside the original - see RE1+2+3+4 Remakes. Upgrading the graphics is nice and all but I think it's a waste, especially because a Remaster of the Original was released on the current gen not long ago. What the point of that Remaster now with the release of the Remake?

 

[VolticArchangel]

60 fps cap removal & widescreen fix should be available via mods or ini file edits soon.

Nothing big to worry there.

 

[funking giblet]

I'm really concerned this hasn't been called out as the slop it is. It has some great assets, but they stick out like a sore thumb. None of the systems are updated enough to really incorporate them properly, so it's like an AI upscaling job. The animations in cutscenes, especially facial animations, are atrocious. It really is just playing the game from 2004 with "better" graphics, proving that you would all just take any old game imported into UE5 and give it 10s. Shameful.

They've been saying that from Day 1. And it does look a lot better, don't know how you can say otherwise.

I said "otherwise" in my post. Throwing a good model and pairing it with the skeleton of a 2004 game is not better. The eyes don't fucking move!

What do you think the Solid in the title means? A Solid 60fps, but no more.
