Quote:So there was certainly progress made, but not enough progress...or more specifically, not enough power for progress. Apparently the team overestimated what the PlayStation 3 was capable of.

"I remember saying three years ago that we wanted to create something revolutionary, but in reality we couldn't really do that because of the CPU. We're using the Cell engine to its limit., actually. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the PS3 machine, it's just that we weren't really aware of what the full-spec PS3 offered - we were creating something we couldn't entirely see." -Kojima

Oh Mohd. Don't even bother. Seriously, just don't. It will ruin this moment I'm having. Oh god wow.

So there you have it. From the mouth of Sony's last good franchise developer, the PS3 isn't what Sony cracked it up to be. Sure it may have a peg or two above the 360 in terms of power, but all in all, it isn't that much of a leap, and the 360 still has a fuckton more games.

Oh, btw have fun with that 5 minute installation of GTA IV, during that time I'm going to beat up some homeless people, get smashed, and jack a Semi, all while knowing some poor PS3 guy is sitting around a loading screen.

Sincerely, you're friendly Neighborhood PS3 hater, SnakeTheFox.

Looks like they lost touch with reality while developing it :P

Anyway, I recently read something about the character customization amongst other stuff and it looks good. I think his disappointment was the graphics (which doesn't really affect me much as what I saw looked fine, I'm more into the gameplay than the graphics).

Quote:It isn't so much the gameplay itself as it is the graphics.

I think he's just being hard on himself, like the writer said. I guess kojima was expecting to make the greatest game ever, with phenomenal graphics. I'm not worried. I've enjoyed every MGS title before this one, every single one was excellent, and im sure the graphics will be excellent as well. Remember MGS3? Best graphics on the PS2. What he's said is being taken out of context, if anything. He didn't say the game isn't going to be excellent, he just said it didn't meet his expectations. Don't try to twist it. I mean seriously, it's metal gear solid. One of the most beloved franchises in video game history. Next to Zelda, Mario, Metroid, or Final Fantasy. I'm not worried. At all. We'll see when the reviews roll around.

Well if your lead designer says the game is disappointing, I take notice.

Anyhow for what it's worth, he wasn't even planing on making a MGS4 until a whole bunch of crazed fanboys started sending in death threats (DON'T DO IT MOHD, IT'S NOT WORTH IT!), and when I heard that, was when I first got worried for MGS4.

Dude, MGS4 is going to be great. Stop kidding yourself. Read the friggin article, and try to understand it. Besides, you're a PS3 hater, it seem all you do on these forums is put in your 2 cents to hate on the PS3 or anything related to it, and don't contribute anything important to the forums. Your opinion is as significant as a republican's at the DNC.

Oh yes, because you've contributed SO much to this thread other than flame-mongering.

You're ignorance has left me awestruck. Congratulations, it's been all the way back to Mohd-times since I've been awestruck by sheer ignorance. You sir, win a golden banana sticker.

As for the argument, I'm simply relying what Kojima himself has said, that MGS4 is disappointing. How can you say it's anything different? Have you played it? No. So then stop spamming me with your idiocy faggot, Gb2ElementrySchool.

Flame mongering? Awestruck? I didn't think an idiot like you could comprehend such words, with +3 syllables. Slow down with the big talk, you don't want to hurt yourself. And it's your, not you're. You see, that's a side-effect from trying to sound intelligent. Little do you know 100% of fanboys are retards.

OH SHIT.

A TYPO.

ON THE INTERNET!

AT 2:00AM IN THE MORNING (Eastern Time here, look it up)!

UNBELIEVABLE.

INCONCEIVABLE.

OH MY GOD!

HOW?!

HOW CAN SUCH A MISTAKE BE POSSIBLE IN A REALM OF EXISTANCE WHERE PERFECTION IS SO EASILY OBTAINED?

Shut the f**k up. You're a horrible troll.

Hey, you're the forum grammar nazi. Not me. And i'm not a troll. I may have not been here for long, but i do contribute to the forum. I just like to piss you off. Don't scream too loud though, you might live in the basement, but your parents are sleeping upstairs. Shhhhh.

I'm 16, OH WOW I STILL LIVE WITH MY PARENTS. Again, INCONCEIVABLE. Your logic has as many holes as the Titanic.

Also, it's 2AM in the morning. Even Grammar Nazi's (Nazi is in capitals, btw) need a break. Also, "i" and "i'm" both need capital "i"s.

Good show, mate.
