Question of the Day, January 23, 2011



Rumor has it that the PS3 might be getting a high-definition remaster of the first three Metal Gear Solid games [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/107171-Rumor-High-Definition-Metal-Gear-Solid-Trilogy-Coming-to-PS3]. Which is your favorite MGS?

I've never really played any of them besides... 3, I think? The one where you fight Psycho Mantis anyway.

Sons of Liberty is a quality game. It was the game that got me interested in the stealth genre.

 

[Argtee]

I've never played a Metal Gear Solid game.

...Don't look at me like that!

 

[lachinti]

Never played any Metal Gears.
Never owned a PlayStation, but I do feel kinda guilty not playing the remake for the GameCube. Because I'd love for a lot of my "PS friends" to play at least Ocarina Of Time.

Who knows, maybe I'll play the 3DS Metal Gear.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I could never get into Metal Gear.

I tried, but after watching all those 20 minute plus cut-scenes I started to have a mild seizure and hissing 'Goddammit, game, just let me press some buttons!'

OT: Of the two I played... MGS2 was the less coma-inducing.

 

[StriderShinryu]

Solid 1. Nice characters and story added to still classic Metal Gear gameplay but without all of the craziness and silliness that came into the series starting with 2.

 

[GundamSentinel]

MGS3, most definitely. Especially the Subsistence version with the better camera. I loved the setting, characters, bosses and story. And the codec conversations were by far the best.

 

[Scott Guthrie]

MGS the original and best

Hmm definately not MGS3 then. Possibly MGS1(PSone)/Twin Snakes(Gamecube) or MGS4(PS3)

OT: My favourite has got to be the very first (discounting Metal Gear/Metal Gear 2) as it was one of the first games I ever played. I loved my PS1 so much! God knows how I ever understood that game considering I must have only been between 11 and 13... then again, I still don't really get any of them now and it's ten years later!

There's a special place in my heart for 2 & 3 as well. Soooo want to play Peace Walker but have no PSP

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

I've played MGS4 only. The gameplay was good, but there wasn't many of it.

Really, I think it it were the same game with a better story (which means a story that appeals to me more, like Call Of Duty, fuck yeah), it would've been my favorite game of all-time.

It really is special and very diverse, but it's not the messiah of the PS3 that everyone's calling it to be.

Now that role belongs to Heavy Rain. But that's a whole different topic.

I chose Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots but after thinking about it Snake Eater should have been my choice. If they did a high-definition remaster of the first three games would so buy them.

 

[Rusman]

Played the first one and loved it, not ever played any of the other's. Not sure about the story getting weird... er.

 

[technoted]

Metal Gear Solid 1, easily my favourite. Hell I'd actually put it in the top 10 greatest games ever made, it was a brilliant game and well ahead of its time!

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Metal Gear Solid 3 bar none. If they do actually re-release the first three games in HD, that would be so awesome.

 

[Dragonpit]

Never played. My friends keep recommending it to me, though.

 

[Shemming]

MGS 4...its the only one ive played so it was a very hard choice.

 

[MattAn24]

Honestly, MGS3: Snake Eater. I played the ever-loving shit out of that game. Never played MGS 1 or 2.. But I really quite enjoyed Snake Eater. The emphasis on bush survival was pretty neat.

I already had the original before Subsistence came out.. Also didn't really have online capabilities on my PS2 slim (Australia sucked for online gaming back then, until the 360 and PS3)

 

[Hosker]

Snake Eater is brilliant, well, subsistence is anyway. Alas, I've never played 4.

 

[zombie711]

never played but the 3ds game looks good. Also how was the gameboy color version.
