[Megathread] Metal Gear Survive (Release date 2,20,2018)

[Jtbrig7390]

Funny enough this looks like it actually could be fun, sadly its Konami so ill be waiting for a used copy.

Can't wait to see the bucketload of MT's in it....

(Above video was just released)

So it's just Metal Gear 5 with a new coat of paint...

EDIT: Meh, that teleportation guns and base shit just.... nah

[Super Kami Dende]

Was that Big Shell in the first 20-ish seconds?

Would be cool if it was since it was a decontamination plant and this is all Zombie stuff.

Set in the same universe as 5 but different story/core gameplay.

Didn't realise MGS5 had Base Building and Zombie Horde fighting aspects

Yes it was, There older trailers so as much.

I also assume the guy in the casket was Snake.

[Eleccybubb]

Yeah.... Not touching this.

Not even getting it used.

The only good thing about MGSV was it's gameplay.

It's mission structure and story was ass, and no I don't care about the Kojima apologists who claim it wasn't finished he had a half decade to make the game and couldn't get it done.

So, good to see the gameplay being preserved in a future project. This could end up being the surprise hit of 2018. Story will be stupid and nonsensical but that's not why people will play it. Reviewers will tear it to shreds but as proven time and time again that doesn't matter much for MP focused games. I could see it selling extremely well and being a popular stream game. At any rate the MGSV gameplay base is a hell of a lot better then what fortnite and PUBG are working with, and the fox engine runs like a dream so 60 fps on everything.

It actually looks like it could be a good horde style game. I love horde style game play but the only game (IMO) that has done it right was Gears 3 and 4 with killing floor 2 coming in 3rd.

I do wonder how much of it will be horde style gameplay and how much will be "Go out into the world and collect stuff".

Surprised it isn't full price and I also wonder how shitty the MT's will be.

How do we go from espionage and conspiracy shit to… this?

Yea let's just blindly act like MGS hasn't already had Vampires, weird animal were chicks and resurrections of dead people

I can take this game more serious then I can anyone trying to act like MGS was serious.

MGS wasn't full on serious. It had it's fair share of supernatural elements. But it's main focus was stealth/espionage.

Psycho Mantis, Beauty and the Beast, The Sorrow and god knows what else.

I'm personally not buying into this for two reasons. Survival games aren't big on my list and to be honest I just don't get that Metal Gear vibe from it. Maybe others do and if they want to then go for it.

[Jtbrig7390]

Can a mod fix the title and put 2018 tyvm.

[dope_danny]

In the last video they called it 'the pve co-op equivalent to the pvp of MGO' and so much salt would have been saved if they said this a goddamn year ago. For a MGSV spin off its a lot more interesting than ground zeroes was in terms of what you are paying for. Could still be complete trash but i played over a 100 hours in MGSV and it sure as shit wasnt for the story.

[Jtbrig7390]

That’s not really about taking the game seriously, it’s about pretending the game was realistic, it wasn’t, never said otherwise, but let’s not try to convince each other here that from what it was into a multiverse zombie horde survival game isn’t a little too fucking much…

Next game Solid Snake will be running a unicorn farm, using real life cash to speed up the crops and shit, because why the fuck not, they already had vampires anyway!

You do realize MGSV had a giant fire whale, Also the series has had this.



and this.



There is nothing that isn't a possibility in this series.

[Jtbrig7390]

Read it, the post you just quoted, just read it please, I know you love posting your YouTube videos around, but please, do read it if you are going to quote it. Just in case I’ll go over it again, yes, yes I do fully realize that Metal Gear Solid is full of fantasy/super-natural crazy ass shit, I never said or tried to imply that it was a realistic video game… but despite all that crazy ass shit in it, it was always about espionage and politics, wasn’t it? I think that was something that even Kojima himself agreed upon, that a zombie horde survival game was a little to far away from the tree, either way, to me, personally, it kind of feels like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance all over again, it doesn’t feel like Metal Gear at all and it’s not what most people expect or even want from the franchise.

Long Story Short, the problem to me is more on the genre and theme of the game than the fictional elements used in it.

And I am saying both you and Kojima himself (while I respect is work) are wrong about ANYTHING being a little to far away from the tree.

You can't put a fire whale in your game and then say X is too far. Also from what that trailer showed we may still get both espionage and politics.

Depends how deep the story is and it has stealth.

[Jtbrig7390]

… and I’m saying that it doesn’t really matter for shit what YOU believe that others are wrong about or not. …

And it really doesn't matter what you believe ether. Welcome to the world of opinions and yours is no greater then someone else's even more so when it comes to this series and you ignoring all the other fucked up shit in it.

but where exactly do you draw the line

With this series? There is no line because its never had one. It has always had really fucked up stuff in it and that will never change.

Just admit already you are shitting on this game because its just Konami making it. If it had Kojima's name on it you would be praising it and buying it day 1. If you want to shit on Konami by all means go for it and ill be right there behind you.

But lets call a spade a spade already, We know why your having this stance and it isn't because of Zombies. This also isn't the first time the series has stepped out of the box, remember Metal Gear Acid?

Kojima was the Producer for that.

Edit: Also its not even a numbered series its a side game..

[ddengster]

Definitely a product made by a whole bunch of focus groups. Crafting, base building, etc. I do wonder if it'll find it's edge.
That being said, I think the masses will ignore the blowup on Kojima upon seeing the screenshots - gamers have already proven that they can't boycott games properly.

[ddengster]

Yet I’m not the one pretending to have the right to claim who’s opinion is “right” or “wrong”, including the one from the creator of the bloody thing based on my own Also, I’ve been talking about that “fucked up shit” that I’m supposedly ignoring for a while now in the posts you keep quoting…. The hell you on about?



You clearly don’t, it’s nothing as fancy as “the butthurt fan” kind of crap you are trying to pull out here, because honestly, I don’t touch a MGS game since PlayStation 2 when I basically stopped using consoles, therefore I recommend you trying something like “Then why you even care?!” instead, because at least that makes sense.

Either way, you ain’t completely wrong when you say that I’m not shitting on it because of the zombies, I mean, I’ve said that myself in the thread already, it’s not JUST the zombies, no, I’m shitting on this game for the same reason I shitted on Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, that just like Acid, also kind of had Kojima’s name thrown in there, personally, it doesn’t feel like a “MGS” game, at least to me, and not just because I believe that interdimensional zombies is a little to stretched from the crazy ass shit they already had, but because as you put it, it’s stepping out of the box, it’s not what me and apparently tons of other players expected from the franchise.

Humm, I don’t think they did too bad with Star Wars though.

I think the recent Star Wars thing was more of lootboxes - the impact is different when you're talking gambling-like elements. The press will jump on it, parents will jump on it, not just gamers.

[Mister Cheese]

I mean, it looks okay. But you have to realize most of the work for this game was probably already done. This game also has crafting and shit in it. No doubt there will be microtransactions. That's already a turn off. I'm not getting this shit on principle. Just because of what Konami has done.

Didn't realise MGS5 had Base Building and Zombie Horde fighting aspects

You do realize that this is the easiest kind of game to make? Zombie AI is not hard to program either. Why do you think there are so many zombie survival asset flips on Steam? This game also is gonna be using maps from Metal Gear Solid 5.

Your point being? Using a Map for something isn't just the same game. Hurp durr.
