Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes

[Johnny Nighttrain]

From IGNs Mailbag:

Is Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes Really delayed till 2004? I read on the boards that it is.

Matt responds: Supposedly, it's not. Last week in this interview Silicon Knights' president Denis Dyack said that the title is still scheduled to hit this "winter." Afterward, rumors persisted that Twin Snakes would be delayed until next year. So I chatted again with Denis yesterday and he said once more that, no, the winter date is, er, solid.

well, that's cool.

If it doesnt make it out this year thats just fucking gay. My Cube won

If it doesnt make it out this year thats just fucking gay. My Cube wont be played at all this fall/winter then. Star Wars, thats it. Fuck Mario Kart.


Hmmm, he said Winter huh? Winter doesnt start until Dec 20th or so. And ends aroud the end of March right? Shit, if this gets delayed..... GRRRR!

Some new screenshots from the official website (including one for NoFace's pleasure, a rough and manly close-up of Liquid Snake).










There's more, but I don't like reruns. Also, expect a new trailer on the 26th.

so the game doesn't look ugly, but god damn it does Silicon Knights have no fuckin style.

i mean, jesus christ!


what the fuck is that?

i swear man, any japanese team over at Nintendo could've made a nicer looking game.

[NoFace]

That looks awesome.

It would have been nice if Liquid wore a shirt for his first good MGS:TS pic, but this is cool too.

Seriously though... wow. Thanks for the pics!

Lucas, I think you're being extremely picky.

[NoFace]

Umm Lucas, you do know that they're twins right? So, wouldn't it make sense for Liquid to look just like Solid but with blonde hair? I think they did a fine job... you don't get too much creative liberty with an established character like that anyway, y'know?

Actually, he sorta looks like somewhere between Solid Snake and Solidus Snake. He's like the missing link between them.

crap, i mean, style goes a damn long way with me. a game can look ugly as shit, but if it has nice style, then all is well. this game on the other hand does look nice, but has shitty style. that's one thing i just never liked about Silicon Knights. they definitely lack style. i mean, the games can be high poly, have all the effects going on, but with no style, it just doesn't all come together.

Umm Lucas, you do know that they're twins right?

oh really? thanks for spoiling it! i had no fuckin idea.


guys, c'mon now. im talking about style here. style is very important to me. style is what makes something that has nothing going on like Rez look beyond beautiful. style seperates the good developers out there from the bad. shit, at first glimpse you can tell who's making a game if they have good enough style.

this game is just lacking style big time. really, i think the only thing that saves this game as far as aesthetics go, is that it wasn't possible for them to fuckin around with the games look, or characters. all they were able to do with it was give it a nasty Silicon Knights look to it.

so in conclusion, i don't care how impressive this game is technically, if there's no style to back it up, then they've failed as a developer in the big leagues.

er, of course im talking as far as the games look goes. im sure gameplay and all will be top notch. im just not a fan of the way Silicon Knights games look, and the more and more pictures that get released, the more it looks like one (obviously i realize what im saying, so don't bother giving me shit for it).

i wanted a solid remake (no pun intended), but like i said, the more i see of it, the more that nasty Silicon Knights look stands out. Psycho Mantis looks retarded now too.

I don't know. Maybe Ryuhei Kitamura's direction will make up for Silicon Knights' unstylish models. Have a bit more faith.
