Metal Gear Survive - Open Beta starts today

download.jpeg

Remember that weird Metal Gear game that everyone decided to instantly hate because Hideo Kojima left Konami?[prebreak]1[/prebreak]
Well it's out next month, with a 15-20 hour campaign and seamless single/multiplayer action.
It also has every gamer's favourite thing; a microtransaction store!

Today you can try the open beta on PS4 and Xbox One. I'm downloading the 8GB file as we speak and will report back on the title later today.

i think i'll give a try, let's not judge so fast cauz it's made by fuckonami, remember that Kojima is not the only talented game creator in japan, there are a lot more people born before him :P

I'm not a fan of wave shooters like Left 4 Dead so the only things keeping me interested in this are finding out whatever they came up with for a story (yeah, yeah no Kojima I know) and how multiplayer Metal Gear battles will turn out. Peace Walker had that Monster Hunter vibe and I wonder if this could be similar, besides the whole protect the fortress thing.

I played an hour or two yesterday and it's like Fortnite but without any of the fun, charm or soul.
I expect it will tank at retail then maybe it'll go on psplus and we can all play it for free.

Played it last night thinking ill give konami the benefit of doubt after all they have produced fantastic games for years. Now the issues regardless of using the mgs title which they shouldnt have done for a fckin zombie game!!! the game is basically a 3rd person tower of defence type game with bad AI and also bad game play it litterally is a mobile game on a console really didnt enjoy it at all some interesting ideas with scaveging for things to craft ammo etc between rounds but it just doesnt work a shit under any other name would smell as bad this game will surely hammer the last nail in the mgs coffin!!!

i gave it a try last night, my opinion dont waste your time, its bad, it is basically a defense game , i could only stomach 20 mins and that was a struggle, maybe its me but cant see this getting more than 5 out of 10 in current state at least, i know its a beta, but its trash.

As a massive Metal Gear fan myself, I'm... not sure how to feel about this...

You mean the solid series or do you truly love the original 2 nes titles.

IGN has a great article about the beta. Konami really did gimp the beta to the point of it being pointless.

Konami continues to disappoint. Shocker.

Might as well be a playstation plus only game if you NEED online to play it anyway. Is the kind of game that would be free to play but only if you had online, and people would probably more likely to get it if is free anyway. Gonna be hard to convince people to buy it intentionally and hope there is enough players to play with. :blink:

Dead Rising and Resident Evil + The Division + Metal Gear sounds and Command and Conquer base building....Hmmm. I like all those games, but I also like coco puffs and orange juice.

I hated the idea of it because it seems stupid, I downloaded it, I tried it... and I actually really like it. Solid horde mode/survival experience, and I've been a fan since Metal Gear 1. Can recommend to all those on the fence about the title, the gameplay is solid.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
