Data replication serves no purpose on Bluray. Load times are constant everywhere across the disc unlike DVD, and seek times are far less since data is packed more densely.



In case you're thinking of Oblivion, Bethesda denied they were doing that shortly after the FUD/rumor started.



MGS does not use FMV.



PC games are not comparable due to the heavy installation process.



Graphics aren't a good measure of how much space a game takes up. Massive amount of textures, levels, characters and audio can balloon up quite fast.



That and this game does look as good as Crysis.

then why would they delete the extra languages if they have 24 spare gigs?

will blow everything else out of the ocean. I don't care how amazing Crysis looks, how great it plays, blah blah blah. MGS games are known to deliver. Kojima really pushed the envelope with Sons of Liberty on PS2. He will do the same thing with GOP this year. Get over it.

Why does everyone want to compair games to Crysis now? The game was like a Playboy Model, beautiful to look at and nothing going on in the head. Call me when that game gets a good story.

MGS is a good series but it's overrated. Honestly, if anyone tries to compare it to any game from any other genre and say MGS pwns it, their just mindless Kojima-fanboys who need to be shot. Sure, they're great games, but they're not Godlike, or anything to kill someone over. Many people will buy the game just because it has the words "Metal Gear Solid" on it, just like with Halo.

Think about what you just said, you compared halo and Mgs. When Halo one came out everyone was amazed with the online and everything. Mgs came out silently but with a great story and gameplay. Halo 2 came out and it was the same thing, then Mgs2 which got even better and finally started getting attention. I think Mgs earned its stripes, so its not just a name. Its not overrated at all, it deserves to be halo status right now.



I don't think anything will beat crysis graphics right now but still, graphics arent everything. I heard crysis dosn't have a good story and has average gameplay while Mgs has almost everything AAA.

Although my computer could only handle it on medium-low settings, it's not that great of a game. You need to use invisibility heavily, and since it lasts less than a minute you find yourself running, taking cover and waiting for it to recharge, then running again etc.

I will agree with you that MGS 4 is as big is it is because of HD audio. The devs said this themselves. I'll also agree that Uncharted looked better. Hell Uncharted is easily the best game next to Warhawk (it's not all about graphics) on PS3 right now. I didn't even expect it to be great and I think its *****ing amazing.



MGS4 will destroy both of those games.

You need stealth a lot in crysis, but not for more than 2-3 seconds at a time, so it's not important. I finished the game and loved it, it's one of the 1st shooters I love this much. This abilities are really fun to play, always switching to best everyone in all situation, and it plays way faster that any shooters I've tryed before.



Still, I'm more into MGS4. I finished all of them while I didn't liked farcry that much... The MGS4 story is always fun, the bosses are always wierd and special, and it feels like a complete game, checked and checked again, so everything is perfect.

learn some spanish for you Someone..



i don't know if my memory fails me but your primary language is Spanish right??? anyway i know ur on my PSN buddy list and i can easily check...



i'll look up Spanish for envy.

is Spanish and it's a little difficult for me because here we never practice.. well, not everybody, my work sometimes. So I have to think it and translate it because the translator never do it right. If you go to a spanish to english translator mess all the meaning so everything I said is in my head. Thats why too many errors, the same I write is the way I will talk it so...

I was talking about for free. Since they could fit it in the game, just put it on Hard Drive. Not everyone wants Japanese voice-overs, like me. This is just an extra feature to me. I don't know why they would charge for it when it was originally planned to be in the game.

I looked atthe uncharted disc,and its actually ~21gb,so they hardly pushed it.4gb is still a bit in this day and age for games.but from what i can tell it is atm one of the biggest games in terms of filesize for the ps3.

you just popped yourself in the head this time.

now we know what happens when an xbox fan dont know how to contradict a PS3 fact.



ways to play MGS4...

1. buy a PS3

2. hope/bug konami ports MGS4 to Xbox360 on 8 DVD's or

3. hope konami at least ports MGS4 to 4 DVD's even if everything is scaled down.



fact is Microsoft wont adapt bluray to xbox 360 and heck it will be very hard for konami to port a gigantic space eating triple a game to a small capacity disc.

i know its somewhat impossible (marketing wise) but if you xbox fans are given the chance to buy an xbox 360 version of MGS4 on a single DVD disc but the remaining 40gb of data will be streamed from microsoft live server to your HDD, would you bite it?

------------------------------------------------------------

and people like the HD CGI cutscenes on games that are engaging such as MGS4.

we would gladly install MGS4 on our PS3 HDD even if it eats 90 percent of the HDD space, because we can easily reclaim that space after finishing the whole game.

i have a good dual core pc with decent overclocking, 2gb ddr2 ram and a geforce 8800gts640 and crysis still doesnt cut it for me,

a game with great graphics is NOTHING if it is BORING to play. MGS4 is tried, tested and proven to hook me from start to finish. MGS4 im sure will be worth the admission.



oh and gets your facts right next time.

there is no such thing as replicating data on discs,

its somewhat useless. the ps3 can easily use the HDD for cache of reused files.

Too far concerning the size of the game. It's going to be a 50G and it will play completely well because the hardware is capable processing data decently. The fact that it's 50g doesn't mean it will access the whole 50G disc at once. There is no way it will process all info in one load time. Just go back to basic and see MGS in PSX - two discs decent load times on both discs - You can even look at the PSP load time depending on the game. The whole game will not load at once.

Shifting gears, Please do not compare Crysis with MGS4 - Yes It has a very good gpx for what I can see but nothing else. Story line sucks ( no offense to Xblok 360 fans) But very good as an action game.



Shifting again, about Spanish, why does someone always has to flame somebody else about his/her language to get his/her point thru? Jeeze the fact that you are not getting MGS4 in Xblok doesn't mean you can attack foreign guys :)



it's gonna be so hard for MGS4 to be release as a torrent file. Probably that's the reason! LOOL - There is one thing I know Xblok fans will be at PS3 fans looking and playing the game. This game will change many things from here on for developers. They going to buy me in two months.

You re giving them a bad name.



Not sure about mgs4, but previous mgs were real time cut scenes, rather graphically detailed. Not sure why it would be CG

Well as for Crysis worst game i've played in years sure graphics were ok...But not a game i'd buy again any time soon.



AS for MGS4 looks interesting the 50gb could be extras etc, don't forget the director cuts for the 2nd and 3rd MGS...



If this doesn't have the extras in expect a Directors cut version...6 months after release

ALSO remember Metal Gear Solid: Online starter pack comes WITH THIS GAME so the directors cut might come without that.



As for it being ported it won't and thats no bad thing, the series started on PSX systems and should stay there as thats where the fanbase is, Plus I hate to say it but I highly doubt that the 360 would have the power to run MGS...or Uncharted for that matter.



Still until MGS comes out its safe to say its nothing but an expensive dvd/Bray player...

we wait and see what really takes up all the space on the blu-ray disc shatterdome.

if you took it personal then that's your problem. Now don't deviate from the topic...I guess you are the one having problems reading.
