TGS07: Metal Gear Solid 4 to include Online Starter Pack

by Andrew Yoon on Sep 19th 2007 3:52AM

Metal Gear Solid 4 will include a small taste of the Metal Gear Online experience through an included "Starter Pack" mode, Hideo Kojima revealed at the Konami press conference today in Tokyo. A new trailer highlighted the game's sharp graphics, which nearly match the visual fidelity of its single-player counterpart. In addition, fun gameplay bits, such as the ability to roll down enemies in a barrel were shown. The trailer ended with a soldier launching himself helplessly into the air by using a massive cannon device (a Halo nod, perhaps?).

Both Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Online will be playable at TGS. Stay tuned for more.

Multiplayer looks "almost as good" as single player?

I thought we were done with games that had worse graphics on multiplayer? That's so N64! Does Gears have worse graphics on multiplayer? Or Halo 3? No!

Who ever heard of splitting a game's multiplayer and single player? I guess you have to double dip when there are only 4.6 million PS3 owners in the entire world...

PS3 owners are paying out the ass for an experience that doesn't even come close to any of its competitors.

or maybe because they games are two different things? perhaps 2 different teams? perhaps people interseted in mgs4 dont give a shit about the online part? (like mgs3 and PO) and by the way, my comp, when i built it last year came to ~$900, now it would cost between 600-700. i run Bioshock,Oblivion,FEAR , and others on high. soooo, if youre dumb enough to believe you need to spend $2000 for 360 quality graphics, well youre dumb.
