LOL I really just wanted to discuss the Peace Walker trailer but I think we should have a consolidated thread or something. Anyway-- I'll start the discussion off. Everyone's seen the trailer, right? ...What the hell is up with Huey? PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME THAT'S A WHEELCHAIR. SAY IT AIN'T SO.

METAL GEAR?
Sorry, I had to.....
Yes that looks like a wheelchair Otacon Huey is in when he falls.
Anyway, the trailer looks awesome. I can't wait to be running around trying to get soldiers from wifi hotspots again. Ah.....good times~
On a side note....I think you;re the first female MGS fan I've ever met =O

www.gametrailers.com/video/tgs-09-metal-gear/56487Also, Huey's VA is Otacon's and he's sort of the right age to be Otacon's dad;;; But as my friend said lol how would he have almost killed Emma if he's in a wheelchair Why can't you outrun the guy in the wheelchair And why couldn't they stop the guy in the wheelchair from jumping into the pool.... So I THEORIZED THAT HE HAD SOUPED UP HIS WHEELCHAIR AND IT HAD A ROCKET LAUNCHER OR SOME SHIT. YEAH... Also, HAHA one of my friends who got me into MGS in the first place is female. ): We're so misrepresented!

B) Actually It would be pretty easy for him to just....roll into the pool.... Some guy on House did that in Season 3. But rockets work too................... C) Well I thought there weren't any girls on the internet....NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE!!!!!!!!

Well I just finished the (first) Peace Walker demo. A few points:
1)The demo features 3 missions. The first includes a tutorial and then a simple go from point A to point B without dying. The second is similar, but you have to neutralize (kill/stun/tranq) the enemies int the final area. The third is a quazi-boss fight against a tank. A very strong and stupid tank that kills you >_>
You also get to choose what equipment set you want to use. There's naked (or half-naked if you will XD) which is a more killing-based stealth set. Jungle, which is a killing/tranq stealth hybrid. Sneaking which is a tranq based stealth set (w/ the soliton radar!!!). And Battle which is an armored direct assault approach.
It appears that there's more focus on play however you like than with MPO.
2) The controls have been updated. You can now choose the control scheme from MPO (which I liked, but apparently most people hated) or a new over-the-shoulder scheme based off of MGS4's controls. The controls take a bit of getting used to(you can lay down, but not crawl, CQC is iffy, but it feels nice.
3) There's a Co-op mode called CO OPs (as in operation, like Portable Ops...it's a pun, lol). Basocally it lets you play with at least one other on the missions. This would supposedly help in missions like the stupid tank mission. I haven't played it yet, but I'm planning pn bringing my old phat PSP on thursday so maybe someone would want to try it out.
4)Unlike MPO's shitty tiny maps where you just walked around a box-ed in area for a while, PW has a more MGS3 feel to the map. It's a sequence of small areas seperated a by a loading screen.
My second biggest gripe about the demo are these loading times. Playing off the memory stick, loading was a pain in the ass, so I can't imagine how bad they'll be off of a disc. These were especially anoying between small areas where you don't spend much time anyway.
5) My absolute BIGGEsT problem with the demo - and ultimately the game - is that you don't pause. Ever. The start button brings up a real-time menu that you can navigate while everything continues in the background. This is really stupid when your hiding and want to change and option, or look at the map just to hear that the enemy decided to come around a corner and find you.
Not having a pause option in a game is always stupid. Not aving a pause option in a portable game should be punishiable by death. If I'm playing and want to take a sip of water I have to put my PSP to sleep then start it up again. Then I have to hope that I didn't die in the 2-3 second delay in the game. Also, if you're on the train, you better not be in a fight/sneaking up on someone when your stop comes up, or you're dead. WTF Kojima?
All in all, the demo makes me think PW is going to be leaps and bounds above MPO. The plot also appears to be more important that the sorta-lame-for-MGS plot in MPO. Also, it appears that the recruiting soldiers element of MPO is gone. I kinda liked it, but on the other hand, no lame truck....
Can't wait for the second demo that should be out tonight.

PSP? I don't have one, and aren't getting one, so I won't be playing this anyway, but tbh, I've never been sold on the MGS series as a whole. The only reason I played 4 was because a guy who's opinion I respect told me this one was absolutely worth the 80 hours of cutscenes, and he was right, I loved it.
Shit gets really weird if you know history, or have a sense of world consciousness.
that being said, I'm not one to judge. I don't play the action games much if they're not competitive.
edit: this post has nothing to do with the trailer (clarification), where all I'll say is: I've always found it exceedingly odd that south american nationals are speaking japanese, no matter how outsourced they might be

You only played 4? How the hell did you understand anything? lol Anyway, the MGS series has always been my favorite series. I've always said plot is the most important element in a game. If the ratio of gameplay to cutscenes is tiny, so be it. As long as it makes me think and go: "WTF? " It's time well invested. MGS>MGS2>MGS4>MGS3>MPOAlso, I believe in MGS3 everyone was 'technically' speaking Russian. I could be wrong.

Oh yeah, I played through MGS1, but I consider that to be an entirely different game, as it was the groundbreaker into the genre, and still an early ps1 creation. Early ps1 creations all have a special place in my heart, like the first rpgs and action games. CrashBan, Medieval, Grandia, FF, that stuff all has a special place, like MGS1.
It was a top down kind of affair, anyway. And that part where the psychic guy fucks up your controller? I mean that was cool enough to warrant an entire place on a greatest ps1 games list.
I usually play a game for a very equal balance of gameplay and story, and to be fair, MGS has usually had a pretty normal gameplay system (4 was cool, with snake being old and gimpy) (also not regarding how MGS1 basically created the idea of a working "stealth" genre), but has had a huge amount of ingenuity in game quirks and plot. I mean, clones of clones and losers turned badasses actually MAKE SENSE and FEEL RIGHT.
Still, the japanese speaking really throws me off.

Umm....MGS1 is pretty much the same as the rest. IMO the best but not much different from 2 and 3 in terms of style and gameplay (they've been top down until MGS3:S).
