so if i end up getting a ps3 at some time in the future, yet i haven't played MGS1-3, is the story of MGS4 worth it for me, as in.. would it be easy to follow?

sidenote: keep in mind that i actually care more about the cutscenes/story than the gameplay for this particular game.. in fact.. i'd just buy it as a movie if it was released as one so that i didn't need to waste my time with the game

 Yeah, you'll be fine, the game makes a good attempt at explaining it all, and largely succeeds. That said, I'd recommend reading up on the background a little (not much, a page of background will cover all the main facts -- check the main gaming sites, most have a retrospective), as it will give the game a little more context.

I know several MGS first-timers, and contrary to the presumptive reviews, they've had no problems with following the plot at all.


 I can recommend the retrospective on GT, it's really good and well explained. I think I would have been lost without all the most important facts in the story up till then. That being said, I really like the story in MGS4 and I didn't have trouble following it. I couldsee some people having trouble with, but I think it did well.

But yes you can save PS1 game saves on the PS3. Just make a Virtual PS1 Memory Card just like how you will make a Virtual PS2 Memory Card and you can then save the games of PS1 games on the PS3 HDD :)

On Topic: Damn to all of those that beat the game. Shit, I haven't bought the game yet. And I know I wouldn't beat the game within 3 days...lol

Thanks, I have a 40 GB model, so I didn't know the memory card thing ;)
