haha seems like we got some braintrust going on or something :-P
man 265......that could seriously pay off some credit cards if they get a pic up im so sold on it (assuming its not a stock GC).
Think of it like this. What if someone tried to remake Citizen Kane and made it star the cast of Charlies Angels? This is what you're getting with MGS: Twin Snakes. It's as if someone tried to make a movie based off of Metal Gear Solid and just threw in as much retarded crap into every scene and then going back and taking away from other scenes that should actually have feeling behind them.
First off, why must every scene in this trailer have some part where I have to yell "THIS IS NOT THE MATRIX!"? Why must he do some ridiculous backflip all the time? Why does every bullet have to result in slow motion and trails? SINCE WHEN COULD SOLID SNAKE LEAP 30 FEET INTO THE AIR TO JUMP KICK A FUCKING METAL GEAR!?
Mzo0: he's been working out
Absolutely not. This is just absolutely ridiculous..It's almost like a mockery of MGS.
Some scenes also seem to have just lost all the emotional impact that they were intended to have. For example, when Meryl asks Snake about his name and his past. In Metal Gear Solid her acting was more believable, she really came off as concerned while he was more worried about reloading his gun than anything she was saying, overbearing music as a backround. Twin Snakes? Uhh..you get some cheesy guitar and 2 lifeless models doing nothing but moving their mouth. Great. Thanks.
Oh, the the mario bobble head...You just really have to be a blind fanboy to say that this is cool. The majority of MGS is shades of blue, grey and greens. There was an underlying theme to just about every area in MGS that played off of those colors. When you throw in ridiculous looking, brightly colored cock teases into some random scene it just completely throws you out of it to say "WTF". Yes, I understand. I will be playing Metal Gear Solid on a Gamecube. Thanks for reminding me. This is just another point in time where Nintendo feels the need to attempt to ram their cock in your mouth. Zelda in Soul Calibur, GBA connectivity for everything ever. One in the same.
The bottom line? I'm such an MGS nerd that I'll buy it regardless of everything I've just said. Along with a horrid control scheme (Does IGN still have that controller layout up? Jesus..) I don't see myself looking forward to this. Damn, and I had a lot of faith that this was going to be cool. Now I have to buy a game where Solid Snake fucking backflips onto missles and jump kicks robots.
Really now, I can think of two parts that scream Matrix in that trailer. Two.
Snake vs. Fox (right after the Ocelot fight), that's definitely the kind of thing you're talking about, and Snake vs. the Hind D, with the backflipping. Past that, there is nothing that outlandish. Everything else is just cool and stylish.
The whole Ocelot scene, where they put their weapons away to have an old-fashioned shoot-out, Snake vs. Raven, sliding around the corner, Stinger (or Nikita?) in hand... nothing else is that outlandish.
Not to mention the fact these cutscenes are being done by a guy who has consistently put out over the top action films. Just because Snake is doing backflips doesn't mean it was taken from the Matrix... there's plenty of foreign action movies that are far more over the top than that.
Also, this is a remake. They're having fun with it. You won't see Big Boss doing backflips in 3, I'm fairly sure. Just sit back and enjoy it, no need to be so up tight about it. Nobody was complaining when Snake was dodging bullets (with the stupid little Matrix trail) on the tanker in MGS2, so why are we starting now?
Edit: I take back the part about only two over the top things in the trailer. There's quite a few more, but my other arguments are unchanged. I shouldn't drink and try to concentrate on 30 minute trailers...
i just think slip needs some cheese. goddamn i have never heard so much whining before. seriousky if thats all youve been reduced to complaining about then the game has got to be good, becaus those complaints are just pathetic.
i cant believe it tho. its like complaining for the sake of complaining. its the cutscenes for christsake, the game itself is still good. oh well. i just wish ncs would get a pic of the system up.
Yeah, I hear that. If you're going to really start judging the cutscenes, and complaining about the acting, at least wait until you've got the final game. Getting bits and pieces of a scene, with dialogue cut and editted for a trailer isn't the best way to gauge voice acting/directing/etc. It's a damn trailer.
I for one can't wait to play the game with all the cool tricks from MGS2, and I'm sure Silicon Knights have included tons of cool little bonuses and tricks throughout the game... it's going to be great, even with everyone doing backflipping (which does feel like too much to me).
And yea, I'm waiting to see what the system looks like... if it's as cool as the Biohazard S.T.A.R.S. one, I'll be happy.
