Forums - Gaming - Kojima's Astronomical Expectations.

Khuutra on 27 March 2009

The worst part about Kojima is that he's so great at designing games that are so fun to play and then you don't get to play it.

Well any game can be improved.

1. It would be nice for the lighting to have more of an effect on gameplay, similiar to Splinter Cell, just more advanced.

2. The enemy AI in MGS is still kinda pitiful. Guards still walk in patterns you can illustrate on paper. They cluster the same way when they find you. It doesn't feel natural. Overall there hasn't been a large AI improvement since the first game.

3. Enemies disappear after a while as you shoot more and more in an area. More hardware power could have meant the bodies stacking up and not vanishing.

These are just ideas I've conjured up in mere minutes, so I can only imagine the lofty things Kojima has thought up over the 20 plus years he's been making these games. He was probably promised the moon by Sony and felt like the hardware did not deliver like they said it would. Remember being told the PS2 would be able to produce Toy Story-like graphics? I'm still waiting for the PS3 to do it.

 

It was microsoft who claimed that the xbox would be able to do that.

"One of the basic premises of the Xbox is to put the power in the hands of the artist," Blackley said, which is why Xbox developers "are achieving a level of visual detail you really get in 'Toy Story.'"

It seems like it was both.

 "The new microprocessor will allow users to handle nearly 50 times more 3-D image data compared with Sega Enterprises Ltd.'s (7964) Dreamcast game console. It will also let users produce game characters comparable in image quality to Walt Disney's Toy Story.

I didn't know Microsoft said it also. Nice to know they were just as diluted.

@soul-Yeah I'm not trying to convert anyone, just venting a bit on my feelings regarding the game. I still hope for an MGS that puts the focus back in stealth, but I'm sure I'll be somewhat relieved when the new Splinter Cell comes out with it's nifty new innovations, whatever they may be.

 

 

lol thats kinda funny actually XD...

 

Oh yeah i really liked mgs4. And i'm glad that what was gameplay was gameplay and what wasn't wasnt. The game was a epic experience and i wouldn't have it any other way :p

he had a little jab against with splinter cell along the way during the keynote.

"without metal gear, there would be no stealth genre. there would be no splinter cell"

I thought MGS4 was a pretty big let down and only finished about half. I enjoyed the game but thought the cut scenes were to frequent and I lost interest quickly. Luckily I only rented it so it wasn't that big of a deal. I still have high hopes for the next game, maybe they will have fewer cut scenes next time.

@staude, true on your point about "toy story graphics" on the original xbox. but it was lucas who said the ps2 was able to do the "star wars" movie on them, which was so far from the truth that now its so funny.
