Metal Gear Solid 3: Xbox only?

Konami will import the jaggies, just for you. It'll be like the filter in Silent Hill 2, which was the digital equivilent of smearing mud on your screen. Konami is thoughtful enough to include it for those who live in mud-free areas like Alaska and the moon.

You know, I used to agree with that sentiment. Then I rented Dead to Rights. And I must say, while the rest of the controller is wonderful, the shoulder triggers are fucking terrible. They're way too small. The top joints of my finger pretty much hit the corner of the trigger. Most of the time I don't notice this, but in a game that is as shoulder trigger intensive as DTR, it became incredibly painful. I had to go back to the old, gigantic model controller after half an hour.

Personally I think Splinter Cell will kick MGS3's arse. Just a hunch. I was a fan of mgs1 but no.2 just didn't have enough gameplay for me.
I felt like the cinemas got in the way of the actual game too much.
But splinter cell looks like it is a true stealth action game, not just a story with bits of gameplay in between.

Has anyone here played a pc game called commandos? I felt as though mgs1 ripped a few things from that game. (the awareness cones, the hiding of bodies, the levels of alertness of the guards etc) Commandos has much better gameplay of course, (and the levels and tactics were more open-ended) but mgs has the solid presentation and story to draw you right into it. (It felt like you were watching and participating in a movie) If Konami can somehow balance the elements of proper gameplay and strong characters and story, without comprmising one over the other, then it should be great. I'm sure it's possible for them to pack both into the single game.

Personally as a multiplatform owner, I would love to see this on the box. It would be interesting to see what they could pull off with it.
It took what? about 4 years to make the ps2 game? And the game to me felt kind of short. The time they save making an xbox game can be spent on more development of the actual game (adding more overall things to it) and not struggling with the hardware so much and missing the deadlines.

Anyone who complains about the Xbox controller has never seen the S in a demo kiosk.

WHy would you think that Splinter Cell will be MUCH better than MGS3??? Have you seen and played both games to make such a judgement? There are almost no info on what WILL BE in MGS3? Who knows what changes will be introduced, especially since the game will be out AFTER SC, and might use some of the new feature introduced by SC.

And again, SC might end up being a sucky game as well. MGS2 looked great too, until we actually got to gameplay part. So lets just wait and see.

Burgundy, its all about personal taste in controllers. I personally still prefer PS2 pad to Xbox one(regular or S), and feel more comfortable with that. If you feel that Xbox pad is better for you, good

Just a hunch.

lay off the red cordial a bit. One question mark is enough. :P

Look, if the game is great (which I hope) then cool, but I wasn't all that impressed by no.2 is all I'm saying. It's better to be a bit pessimistic than to get all excited and hyped for nothing (like what always happens with big name franchises that turn out average.)
