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.

Since when are reviewer's opinions news?

since there a controversy over the demo of some people saying it looks good and other saying it does not seem how edge review the final retail game
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.

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.

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.

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.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
