MGS


Well, we've just received the official Press Release of the Game!

Metal Gear Solid evolves as Konami announces an all-new action-packed single player campaign and innovative online play.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops redefines the stealth action genre for handheld gaming systems with an original storyline that follows from the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and boasts ground-breaking online play that lets gamers recruit comrades to form a unique fighting force.

The single-player campaign of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops follows the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as Naked Snake establishes FOXHOUND in an attempt to hunt down the treacherous FOX unit, which has started a bloody revolt in South America. Set in 1970, the game will be the missing link in the ongoing Metal Gear saga, as players will learn more about returning characters such as Para-Medic, Major Zero and Sigint and also witness Naked Snake's greatest tragedy – a loss that sets into motion the events of later games in the Metal Gear Solid timeline.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops delivers the series' trademark stealth-based action to PSPTM while introducing several new elements that add even more depth and variety to Naked Snake's new adventure. Using an intuitive new third-person camera that is optimised for handheld play, gamers will be able to see more of Snake's surroundings, identifying threats while also targeting the best areas for sneaking and hiding. The story of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops will be told through fully voiced cinematics featuring 3D models and original artwork by acclaimed illustrator Ashley Wood.

As players progress through the single player campaign of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, they can recruit comrades to create their own fighting unit. In addition to regular enemies and soldiers, players can also recruit unique NPCs depending on their actions in key situations, building an armed force to fit their style of play. Through the wireless capabilities of the PSP system, players can also search for volunteer soldiers via wireless access points.

Refining the gameplay of the online multiplayer mode from Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops lets players engage in online skirmishes through the PSP system's wireless infrastructure functionality. Players will be able to use their squadron from the single-player portion of the game as well as recruiting new members and trading with other players, unleashing their distinctive abilities and wreaking havoc across the game's numerous multiplayer levels.

Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops also introduces a new "White Flag" system to the game's multiplayer modes, letting players choose to surrender and live to fight again in each round or fight to the death until the next game begins. Placing emphasis on stealth gameplay, the White Flag System further evolves online play for the Metal Gear series and creates a bond between the player and their team as they work together to achieve their objectives.

It's supposed to come out this winter. It is still some time away, so I hope that it's great by the time it comes out. Download the trailer below.

hmm

But the story is??? Who plays metal gear for gameplay? It's all about the storyline. And something tells me this is not going to be cannon, and is not going to match any others in storyline.

It's MGS 3.5. It's what happens between MGS 3 and MGS 4.

Huh........

I thought this wuz between MGS 3 And metal gear 1 or 2. Not MGS 1 or 4. The first Metal Gear.

after 3

I believe this is this will take place just after MGS 3. More than likely be playing with Big Boss. So it should bridge more of his story with his son's stories starting in Metal Gear Solid 1. So between 3 and 1 because 3 is a prequel.

O_O

cant belive it... This game will really make me UPGRADE!

this is basically the story

first of all to some ppl mgs3 was a prequel to mgs 1 and ofcourse that means also to 2 and in 2 u play as "Pliskin" who looks just like Snake in 3.5 and in 4 u play as the real Snake who became Big Boss and got his eye shot in 3 but other then that the gameplay looks great and the graphics pardon my language kickss ass!! gonna pre order might have to think bout the updating though its a toughie =))) =(((

WOW

by - 2006-05-10 18:18:44
wtf?

No. 11, I can't understand anything you said. But if you watch the trailer closely, it appears you can control... The Boss? Isn't she dead?
by - 2006-05-10 18:34:52
Nevermind

It's just EVA... And colonel Rydoff? I remember killing him...

Big Boss

This game looks so amazing, and it looks almost as good as the PS2 version. This game should tell the story of how Big Boss became a bad guy, which is what I am really excited about. I am also excited to see how the controls will work, since the PSP lacks pressure sensitive controls that were heavily used on the PS2, and it also lacks the second analog stick for the camera use. It also lacks a second pair of shoulder buttons, so I am guessing that the D-pad will be used for switching weapons, commanding your troops, and other stuff. This game should rock hard, like my *****! ;)

to clear up...

SoulReaver MGS 3 is the prequal to the original Metal Gear for MSX. MGS: Portable OPS will be the linking story between those two stories and you will be playing as Naked Snake who later becomes Big Boss. In MGS4, we'll be playing as SOLID Snake and NOT Big Boss. Go watch the trailer for MGS4 already. It even states that the old man is Solid Snake. But lets talk about MGS: Portable OPS. This game...looks...FUGGIN AWESOME! For a PSP. I'm impressed. The gfx are not up to par with the PS2 but at least it's better than the PS1 but it's pretty standard for the PSPs hardware. I can't wait :).

@#19: WRONG!!!

Big boss IS in metal gear 4! i KNOW that he was *killed* in zanzibar land, but then, how many times did liquid *die*? take a look at the poster, you will see big boss with a weird body. thats nothing new, hes been like that since mg2. if you actually played that, you will remember that he had several injuries and he became part cyborg. as for this, CAN'T WAIT! and another thing, in MGS1 naomi tells you that you should eat some garlic to cure the cold, a rhinovirus, as garlic contains antibiotics. but thought that anti-biotics dont affect viruses.
