Official Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance thread

what is it with you guys being so against the idea of it being a pre-order freebie?

I'm not, but it still wouldn't benefit me (and probably most people) in the least. Unless you enjoy losing shelf space.

......there's no way in hell they're gonna release a 2 year old game at full price.

and Capcom became Nintendo when?

The fact that Nintendo let the price for really old RE ports be almost full price is why its not totally out of the question that Konami/Nintendo would release MGS2 at $39 or some absurd price.

I'm not against the freebie if you pre-order it but nontheless as Omnigear said I don't care either way as long as they don't release it as if it were a brand new game worth buying again.

I doubt we'll see MGS2 on the Cube in any form soon. I much rather have the old MSX games anyway. If they do manage to include all of that though, then the GameCube would then become the definite console for the Metal Gear series (it would have all four installments so far AND Ghost Babel on the GBP).

I wouldn't mind a full-fledge MGS2-remake just as long as they include a version of the Plant Chapter played from Pliskin's view.

i don't really think that one was up to Nintendo.

this on the other hand, is pretty much a Nintendo game in every way. the only hand Konami has in this, is Kojima's input, and Nintendo making the deal sweeter for Konami by letting them publish the game.

Maybe they'll port it and give it a better plot this time

Seriously it would be better to just port the first 2 MSX games on a single GameCube disc... even if they left them as is and just translated them I would be more interested in those then another port of MGS2.

Because there's no confirmation that it's a freebie or concrete proof it exists yet. Also unlike Zelda Oot and Resident Evil, MGS 2 was designed for current hardware and would require more work for a port, the more money a company funnels into a game, the less chance it'll be a freebie. *-neo

Lucas, you should be able to find Substance for 20 bucks, I've seen it for Xbox at different places for that price.

[Johnny Nighttrain]

i would rather get it on PS2

[NoFace]

As well you definitely should... the PS2 version is a far better product. No slowdown, optimal controls, and uhh, Snakeboarding, I suppose. Plus you can unlock things easily if you have The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Plus much cooler cover art!

[Johnny Nighttrain]

better controls, and no slowdown are what did it for me. cover art is icing on the cake.

but yeah, like i said, if it's a freebie (which im sure it will be), then awesome.
