If you can, try to screencap a sideway shot of snake running. Might be blurry via the game dvr but it's better than nothing. Also make sure to output at 720p and not 1080p to avoid the upscaler, and set rgb to limited.

hey gaf check out my iDroid rig
LOL. Looks like a quarterback's play card, except obviously it's a phone.
Yeah that makes sense. I haven't really used the NVG much at all honestly. I'm just used to most collectibles in games having an obnoxious glow or shimmer lol.

Agreed, the camera work in concealed spaces would definitely benefit from some tweaking. I like your idea of zooming out, rather than in in places like the camp. Crawling around below things is also odd. The camera effectively goes into a 1st person mode, without actually being first person.

Has anyone attempted to go through the entire ground zeroes mission ghosting the entire thing? No knockouts or tranq guards. Going to try it tonight. Only prob I can see is the base going into an alert when a group of guards finds that Paz is missing during their patrol route.
On my first runthrough, I accidently found Paz (had already gotten Chico).
I was trying to escape from guards, came across steps going underground, turned a corner, and boom, there she is.
I had futz'd around before this, but it still was only 40-50 minutes. I had already taken out most of the AA guns, so I just called the chopper to pick up right near the airpad. I liked that you could shoot from the Helicopter, as it made it's way out of the map.

You're gonna have to move fast once you have Paz.

IIRC, isn't it the alert where they'll go back to patrolling normally? Just wait it out if that's the case.

I was taking my time exploring the camp, tried not to be detected, and I have to say I found the game pretty challenging especially
towards the end where you have to carry Paz to helicopter
p.s. I also turned off Reflex mode (still haven't tried it!)

It's that way from a looooot of time in Metal Gear. I cant' think of a better implementation for a TPS when you're in really tight places.
That really bums me out, too. Normally I love ghosting or doing no kills in MGS, but they have made taking guys out lethally a lot more fun with these new controls.

Also, do you want the first run DLC? I think if you combine everything it's worth it.

This is a lie. There's the sidearm that has a silencer and flashlight that looks like a Scorpion from MGS3. You see the mook next to Skullface equip it right in the camera's face in the intro cutscene.
Well, finished off all the side missions today, except Deja Vu, which I haven't yet unlocked. The 4th mission was cool, except for the
. I didn't have enough ammunition, and Kaz kept telling me to find a
, which I don't think exists. I had to run around like an idiot looking for C4 and grenades. Got a D. Ugh.
Also, anyone else getting some weird load time when bringing up their iDroid? It like hangs for a second before loading the UI part of it. Really annoying, because it's real time.

But it's not a pistol, it's a sub-machine gun.
Machine pistol.
Pretty sure you can find a recoil-less rifle in one of the locked ammo huts, alternatively, you can track it's patrol route and stick a single C4 to it's backside instead.
But it's not a pistol, it's a sub-machine gun.
Sure, but it can be fired single shot too, so it does have the same feel as a pistol.

It's inside one of the trucks that are stationed.

Yeah the game does that sometimes where you'll need to take out a vehicle but they don't let you know beforehand so if you're playing stealth you might just have a pistol.
I just put a ton of C4 on the road and waited for it to drive past.
That's not it.
It exists. I interrogated a dude who gave it's location on the map, but I never went for it.

And you can just get that rawket lawnchair that has enough ammo to take out 3 AA placements AND that tank, provided you have some grenades just in case.
Well, I just ended up C4-ing the thing to death. Which worked. It just sucked because I got seen a few times and it really killed my ranking.

yeah there is motion blur in game while running
also. whats the point of the games ability to take a screenshot and send it to your smart device, if the quality of the image is circa 1990?

It's what you findBut it's not a pistol, it's a sub-machine gun.
underneath the truck in the Déjà Vu mission
Speaking of the exclusive missions, Déjà Vu has new arrangements of MGS1 tunes, does Jamais Vu have Snatcher or Rising music?

Is there any way to knife a guy after you've knocked him out?
I'll tranq a guy silently from far away but then I decide that I want him dead. I no longer have a silencer on my gun so I don't want to fire. I approach him and all I can do is pick him up.
How do I kill him silently? Can I equip just the knife?

I don't think so. Gotta kick him awake, grab him and knife him that way. If I don't want to go through all that, and I'm close enough to a cliff ledge, I just toss them over. I wish there was a armory where an extra suppressor is available. There are locations where your same rifle with suppressor is on the map, though.
CloudyTuba
Member
I guess that is my biggest complaint then. I shouldn't have to fiddle around with him like that, waking him up just to kill him. It's very limiting.
How do you toss them over a ledge? Every time I try I just set him down nicely near the ledge, even if I'm standing right up against it facing the sea. Is there another "throw" button?
ShinoguTakeruKoeru
Member
Maybe do the CQC throw while holding them? Jab the analog stick in that direction then press the attack trigger again?
CloudyTuba
Member
Cool, thanks. I think the knife thing still needs to be fixed but for now I will be tossing them off cliffs.
ShinoguTakeruKoeru

I think the thing is that they didn't want to have an equipment slot only get occupied by the knife for the entire game. Only having it in the CQC option keeps it concise in some weird way, and having death be something you must consciously employ (with the only alternative being non-lethal by means of CQC, tranq or choking them out) fits with how the series has always had the two philosophies side by side.
Speaking of CQC, I LOVE mashing R2 to do a furious combo takedown. It always looks cool, but still not quite cutscene-caliber (like in MGS4 where Old Snake busts out the spinkicks).

Knife doesn't need to take up an equip slot, it could just be another animation. For example, how about [crouch over unconscious enemy + R2] to trigger a throat slit animation? Maybe, maybe not, but something like that.
I did like how there was a real effort made in MGS4 to make it cinematic. My favorite little detail was how smoothly the cutscene camera transitioned into the gameplay camera. Most games will get the camera close and then there will be a little jerk as the field of view changes, or as the camera backs up. In MGS4 the camera moved so smoothly that sometimes I didn't even realize that I was supposed to be playing yet. It really brought down the wall that normally separates cutscene and gameplay and made it feel so congruent.

I was wondering the same thing.
You just hit R2 (weapon fire on shooter mode). Even if you are standing still he throws them. You can knock them out from sleep state if you throw them on the ground or against a wall. Accidentally threw a prisoner when i was wanting to set him down gently for evac one time. He didn't complain tho, so I'm like "cool".

I found a gamestop that has a used copy. Should I buy?
That is something that will not be correct until every object in a game can handle surface collisions.
He was introduced in Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake. He was a returning character in MGS.
I accidentally threw a POW and at an enemy soldier and the POW died. I'm not sure if it was the throw or he caught some stray bullets.

I'd just like if it shifted to a true first person view in those situations, where you see you hands, and the gun, etc.

I think this new format really excels at both stealth and action. I particularly like how you can raise hell and then evade. The AI relative to firearm noise is also much improved. Its great that you can actually use un-silenced weapons fairly effectively without raising alarm so long as you are are smart about it.
