EDGE: Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D looks better than the HD versio

[Valwin]

Coming from EDGE

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D’s visuals have gotten a lot of flack ever since Konami shared the first screenshots and footage of the game. Fans criticized its seemingly textures, poor frame rate, and overall disappointing graphics.
In the end, it seems that Kojima Productions was able to pull things together. Details have started to emerge from EDGE’s review of Snake Eater 3D, and the magazine was apparently more than impressed with the studio’s work on the title’s visuals. EDGE went as far as to say that “the HD update doesn’t look as good as this portable treatment.”
EDGE wrote in its review:
“Packed with detail, both in terms of it’s environments and mechanics, this is a game that pays back investment in spades. MGS3 is a moden classic – the tighest, smartest and most emotional journey in the series – and even the HD update doesn’t look as good as this portable treatment.”
EDGE gave Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D an 8/10. You can find more scores from the magazine’s latest issue here.

Even then, not news. It's the kind of thing you'd quote in a post (reply), not the kind of thing you'd submit as news.

It doesn't even look better than the PS2 version in my opinion.....

Perhaps the User Submitted News section should be renamed User Submitted Opinion Pieces.

I think until (and if) Digital Foundry does a face off, it's not worth posting.

That being said, I hope Digital Foundry compare the two, because jesus christ this is getting annoying.

I respect all opinions and again I'm not talking about MGS3 which was, is, and will always be a masterpiece, I am talking about this very port of the game which I personally think is the worst. For someone who has never played MGS3 before, the 3DS port isn't by any means a bad game, but for those who did, this port is the worst, again, I'd invest in the PSVita version because MGS3 would look and play much better on the much more powerful PSVita than the weaker 3DS.

Then its a point of discussion, not news. It's still just an excerpt from a review, aka opinion. I agree with Antoligy on this one, moving to General Gaming.

I wouldn't agree that the game has issues because of the hardware it's running on, the problem lies with how poorly Konami optimized it.
And to be honest, I don't think the hardware difference is as big of a jump as between PSP and DS, that's judging from what I've seen.

No. It's just a random titbit.

I really don't care which one looks better honestly. I rather have the better gameplay.

This isn't a graphically game for the 3DS but hell it's better than the PS2 version in some aspects. It's just bad compared to the HD collections.

Ok I wouldn't say better, they are about the same, its slightly better than PS2 version in some spots, worse in others due to lower resolution.

 

[T-hug]

As much as I respect Edge and buy their mag, I have to disagree on this lol

lest wait for the actual final retail release

This isn't much of a shocker as the HD collection is just a port in a higher resolution.

Yeah uh, it's definitely better than the PS2 version even based off the demo.

.Yeah uh, it's definitely better than the PS2 version even based off the demo.

In YOUR opinion. In mine i prefer the PS2's graphics overall. Each version has it's strength's but on balance the PS2's rendition of the game is more pleasing for me.

Fair enough. I suppose one area the PS2 version wins out on is the use of motion-blur to hide the low framerate in cutscenes.

But the game isn't even out yet so I can't really say.
