[MGS4] ~ PS3 hits my radar...

[MsK]

Well..
I havn't really seen the point in purchasing a PS3 sofar since they have a week online setup & in my opinion there title range is it's very poor!

Infact every game worth obtaining on ps3 is already available on the 360

I'm a big fan of the Metal Gear Solid series - I fuckin loved it on the ps
& MGS was always for me the contendor that brings the ps3 up for serious concideration.

After watching this video my mind is almost made up...

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns of Patriots : English
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/31703.html

The game looks very deep & intricate - I particulay like the mix of 1st & 3rd person play, along with what seems to be very detailed character control and a plethora of weapons & gadgets

I would be completly sold if it had online in both co-op & team deathmatch style play.

I am a MGS fan also. I also want soooo bad to have Gran Turismo 5. That looks great. Other than that FF13. But in retrospect. $500-$600 for 3 games? I will stick with my modded 360.

bought one this weekend after I saw Prologue advertised. Even though it'll only last 'bout 5 hours, it's still GT

don know why my mates love gt5 but it is still goood though but if you are into games like need for spee, juice and stuff then this game will look really slow, yes big fan of mgs too, played all of them. i am looking froward to mgs4, tekken6 and grand theft auto 4, sadly not many games coming out on ps3/

3 more days! My copy is pre-ordered

[MsK]

Well.. I finally did it - in a moment of boredom I bit the bullet & purchased a ps3 with MGS4.

I gotta say first impressions on the console itself I'm happy with it - it's my secondary console, 360 being my primary.
I think the main thing I am struggling with is the ps controller! even tho I have owned every other ps & i'm familiar with the controller it's just not as good as the 360 controller! no way near

I'm very impressed with MGS4 - it was frustrating at the beginning but i'm really getting into now.
Things I particularly like are the weapons / attachments system, the ability to switch from 3rd & 1st person & the intricate control scheme (this is what I struggled with to begin with)

It's very movie'esq & if you allow it - you really do get sucked in.
The cut scenes sometimes are long winded but the character animation/body language etc. is truly awesome - I thought GTA iV was good at this but MGS4 is just on another level.

I don't have time today because i'm watching the grandprix & then I have some work to do afterwards but I hope to capture some HD footage during next week & share with the masses

When people ask me whether to get a PS3 or 360, I always say PS3, the hardware isn't chronically flawed plus it's a better designed system with more features. That's not to say there aren't some maintainence issues with the PS3, the blu-ray tends to choke out on the 40GB model and EA games have a tendency to brick the PS3, but if you factor in the blue tooth support, USB support, free online play, ability to switch out the HD for a bigger one, media support, PSX backwards compatibility, Linux installation, and the raw potential of the Cell, it destroys a 360 imo. The only advantages the 360 has are Live and the ability to mod. The biggest flaw is obvious... the lack of must own games. That will be corrected in time.

Any way congrats MsK, hope you get on well with the PS3.
