Obviously the staff at joystiq are having a fun time time reading the reactions of the ppl who are insulted by this clip. I mean, why post a clip of a ps3 games that makes fun of the old mgs games where you have to swap disc unless they want to see some ppl on the other forum to overreact to such a jab.

Joystiq staff=1
Over zealous fanboys(in general)=0

@Doom Saber

I know! For all we know MGS4 might come out on 360 next year or the next Metal Gear could be multiplat. Kojima knows much better than to fuel console wars, but I would trust him anyday for making fun of his own past games (apparently he even makes fun of this one but I won't say how to not spoil for anyone). It's also pathetic and hilarious how most commenters here try to bash the PS3 with stupid arguments like "installs LOLZ" or "MGS4 has teh cutseenz!" Anyways, if you want to take full advantage of this gen, just buy both consoles. 360 has a lot PS3 doesn't and vice versa. My last 2 cents.

Without knowing the context of the codex I can see how you can come to the conclusion that kojima is making fun of non hd formats but that’s not at all what he means by it. Having passed the game ill explain the context of that codex here. Yes this is a spoiler if you played the other mgs games so if you don’t want me to spoil mgs 4 stop reading now.
Ok so the original Metal gear solid for the PS1 (or PSX w/e) had 2 cds and once you got to a certain point in the game you had to switch from disk 1 to disk 2. In mgs4 you revisit this exact same point but except of a message popping up telling you to switch the disk you receive the codex from Otacon. Kojima isn’t basing non hd platforms he’s poking fun at earlier games in the series. Kojima has always picked on his games via in game items or codex, Otacons codex being the perfect example. So I hope this thread dies now because I think the console war is pointless each console has its own unique great feature that the other fails to live up to Xbox Live is far far superior to PSN and the ps3 cell processor being more powerful then the 360s. Love the site keep up the good work mistakes happen but life goes on. Have a nice day everyone!

They only did as there crappy game will need all the help it can get, and if that means denigrating the better console ala 360 then they will take there jabs. When I see crapola like this it just emboldens me further that I will never buy a PS3 unless it is cheap enough to buy then disassemble and then reassemble into a desk for my 360 to sit on.
PS3/SONY = LAME OVERHYPED and PS3 should really only be referred to as a
POS3 (PIECE OF SHIT 3)

Oh come on guys, don't bust a gasket.

That segement is a reference to MGS1...where you had to switch a disk. Kojima ain't dissing the 360...epecially considering his next game is gonna be on it.

I'm a huge360 fan but this was just a cute little joke. Don't make it into a thing. I expect that crap from ps3fanboy, not x3f.

I can't believe this has been posted on ps3fanboy, joystiq, and now 360fanboy. It's like they're TRYING to get a rise out of people, when they should be smart enough to realize the humor is directed at the first Metal Gear Solid where you're prompted to swap discs. I mean really, isn't it obvious?

I'd really like to think that a developer wouldn't stoop to fanboyish comments like that. That's the job of the mindless idiot fanboys around the world.

I can't wait for this game!

Just curious, how old is Richard and Dustin? I wonder why they always refer to their readers/listeners as kids when the average of age of US gamer is around 29-33(depending on which report you read) and I'm sure that is older than both Richard and Dustin. Is it the behavior of the listeners or did they do a survey to find the age of the readers?

As said before, this was a "jab" at the previous MGS codec conversation where Octacon would tell snake to insert the next disc of the game. This is in no way a jab at the 360 or any other system for that matter. Honestly, this "news" doesn't even need to be on here because it's making everyone misinterpret the true meaning of the "inside joke."

Also, for the people arguing about the installs between chapters, that's only necessary when you opt not to do the initial eight minute install. If you choose to do the initial eight minute install, there are no installs that have to be made after that.

Just clearing things up.

switching discs is not a big deal. you have to switch ur discs to play other games anyway so not really a hassle.
if fitting a game on 1 disc is the ps3s biggest selling point then im glad i dont own one. but then again it may also be what others are saying and they could be saying that there not on the ps1 anymore so they can fit it on one disc either way who really gives a fuck lol

Yes, I am a PS3 Fanboy and i came here to watch you guys get pissed off because its funny...
First of all, This is probably not going to be in MGS4 its just a joke... Second of all, install time, give me a break. All you do is one time. pop in the disk. Let it go for about 20 minutes. Durring that 20 minutes take a nice dump, gets some food, and get pumped to play as Solid Snake. And by the way Thursday I will be playing some MGS4 and you guys can enjoy your noisy system play some "dusty of copy" of Gears of War and play your nice LENGTHY single player.

Wassup with all you insecure fanboys? They didn't attack the 360 or any other console specifically, they just gave kudos to the PS3. If you guys are upset that they complimented the PS3 then you need to grow up. If anything their comparing MGS 4 to MGS 1 because it was two disc's. "Oh Noezzzz, how dare they talk about our precious xbox"! LOL

Hey. If PS3 owners need something to validate what they spent their money on, then go ahead and brag about Blu-ray. As a 360 owner it doesn't make me feel insecure what so ever and the only people bragging at the end of the day will be a troll/fanboy. Why do fanboys argue which console is better? Because they feel insecure about what console they've sided with or jealous of the competition.

You know, i hear cutscenes take up a lot of disk space....

I am not sure if it is exactly about MGS1...It seems more like it could still be taken as a jab since Otacon said in a previous trailer that BR was the key to winning the console war.

All I am seeing from others are people with a 360 getting mad...And for a odd reason some trying to downplay it and say 'They are both great consoles', ?...huh... Sites like these are always going have their fights...Go to a forum if you want to go quell something down.

Funny none the less, I am glad I will not have to switch disks when I am playing MGS4 though.

If they have to resort to telling people about other consoles' bad points, rather than pointing out their good parts then there mustn't be many good things about the console in question.

Also, I don't remember having any multi-disk X360 games, and if everything is done in engine, there is no need for blu ray

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots AU Review

Hideo Kojima is in the wrong line of work. He shouldn't be making games – he's no more a game designer of merit than most other top tier developers around the world. His latest game, as we'll discuss, is impressively solid in every respect – but it's not a revolution, and that's just fine. However, Kojima is a visionary of the machinima trade. He renders emotive drama with digital characters and spins his tales with a truly cinematic scope in mind at all times. I'm not talking about 'cinematic' in the same way that every other developer claims that its latest effort is 'cinematic'; no, when Kojima points his virtual lens at the landscape, he does so with masterful direction on par with real-world action filmmakers.

Again, Hideo Kojima is in the wrong line of work.

In MGS there was a point about half-way through where you left an open alaskan field with heavy snow after killing one the games main bosses.
At this point on the PS1, you were prompted by a character in-game to change the disc.

In MGS4, you briefly return to this area with reasons relating to the story.
Those who have played the series through got to experience moments of nostalgia - this part here is pretty much in the same area where you had to change discs on the PS1.

All it is, is a little tongue in cheek look at the old games. It even alludes to other moments in the MGS games relating to memoryt cards etc.

Nonetheless, we apologise to you for any offence this may have caused you.

@Graham: I think Richard and Dustin refer to the readers/listeners as kids out of habit. On TV you see people like Tara Reid(bad example) use it in every day speech. It seems patronising but they probably don't mean for it to come out that way.

I'm sorry, but Metal Gear Solid 4 has been great fun. I get immersed in the cutscenes, not the gameplay. I play the game to hear more of the story.

And all the other in-game advertising that's going on makes me laugh at how shameless Sony can be. The OLED display on the Mk. II, made by Sony ($2500 for 11.2 inches!), the Ericsson phones ..., the PS3 sitting around in the plane, Blu-ray jab. Then all the Apple fandom! Otacon likes his macBook Pro and many displays that cost way too much, and Snake loves him some iPod with in-game podcasts and sheet. Sony and Apple, two of my favorite companies. I like Microsoft too ... just ... Word pisses me the fuck off sometimes >=\.
