Aghh - Now theres a GBC game that I've always wanted to pick up , but never did for some reason. How does it play ? Like the original Metal Gear?How about a time frame ? Is it set after MGS or before the whole Shadow Moses incident?Quote:

Campbell comes to get Snake, you meet Mei Ling (for the first time... again) and the rest of Snake's backup (other than Mei Ling they're all different people). There's too many plot holes and inconsistencies for this to fit nicely into the Metal Gear timeline. That said, the story is still quite enjoyable and filled with interesting characters and good dialogue. Gameplay is, as you might expect, just like the original (but it's broken up into missions, which you can replay for score and what not). The missions, by the way, do form one big compound... it's not a bunch of levels that have no connection, I think they just broke it into digestable chunks for people to perfect their play style.
It's a very good game, definitely worth tracking down.

Unfortunately, that how I feel about this game as well. From all what I seen of it, it still doesnt seem to have all that many new things. Sure, the inclusion of first person aiming and other things that MGS2 introduced, and better graphics are neat, but it will still the same game. You will still have to fight THE SAME bosses that you fough 4 years ago, same storyline(but with new cool cut scenes, that add wow factor, but not much else :(). Thats why I am more excited about Snake Eater, since it IS a NEW concept with new story.Quote:

In terms of gameplay, Ghost Babel is much closer to Metal Gear 2 (the MSX sequel) than any other game. Although, for most parts, Metal Gear Solid was just a 3D version of MG2 with things from MG1.
I still need to get Ghost Babel. I kinda shrugged it off when it was released, since I didnt have a GB, but with GBA, its my chance to try its goodness.
I will try to track me a copy, once I get a job :p
New Interview from 1UP.

No VR Missions huh? Slight bummer.
oh and...
I knew it wasn't the MGS2 engine...Quote:
1UP: Did you build your own engine for this game?
Dyack: Well, yes. God, what kind of engine is it? It's a hybrid engine of MGS, MGS2, Eternal Darkness, parts of new stuff we haven't announced yet. So yeah, it's a new engine, pretty much. Technically, as an example, we have a unified pipeline -- it lights the background and characters at the same time, dynamically. We've got bump-mapping, shine-mapping, all that stuff, the realistic shadows. Technologically, it's pretty advanced.
Good interview though, thanks for the linkage.
"We think that the games industry is going to be the dominant form of entertainment in this century -- people are already playing more videogames than watching TV, as an example. I think we do outdo the box office receipts of the movie industry, too, just not DVD and home video."
That all true?
