One of the belles of last night's Nintendo press ball was the 3DS version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. According to Andriasang, Konami revealed that the "revival" of the PS2 stealth-action classic is set to arrive in Japan next Spring, assumedly a couple short months after the handheld's February 2011 release.
If the short clip from the game shown during the event's 3DS software montage didn't satisfy your need for three-dimensional jungle crawling, you can check out the entire video demo we got to see at E3 over on the game's official site. Of course, it'll be missing an entire dimension when you watch it -- man, this whole "releasing 2D trailers for the 3DS" thing is going to get confusing, quick, isn't it?
@NaeemTHM I disagree. Look at the ps2>3ds comparison. There are more vertices on the cliffs in the 3DS, much like there is more detail on the bridge. I'd argue that the major difference there is due to lower resolution on the 3ds. and any reduction in texture quality is made up with more detailed terrain/character modeling.
i still can't believe how exited people get to play a PS2 game that they probably already played before, but then bash a PS3 firmware that lets them play the same old PS2 games in 3D like this version. boggles the mind.
I hope it looks better than the PSP, since it's more powerful. And the PSP game is a bad comparison, since MGS3 on the PS2 is graphically superior to peace walker.
I'm so surprised to see such a great lineup for the 3DS already. This is catching my attention much more than the DS ever did.
Both RE games, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear, Street Fighter, DOA, just to name a few that interest me.
Looks like nintendo really wants to have more mature titles, rather than the DS and Wii where most titles are sorta aimed for everyone. With mature games few and far between (I dont mean M rated however)
Fine by me one of the reason I love my PSP so much.
I am eagerly anticipating the 3DS launch. I feel like between the PSP, DS, and iPhone, I am all set for portable gaming unless the device does something new. Much like how I am not begging for 3D on my TV, I'm also not begging for it on my portable game device, but if it impresses....well, i'm a sucker when I'm impressed.
I don't understand what Nintendo is thinking. Making a machine powerful enough that there will be console ports just like PSP (we're already seeing it with Resident Evil and MGS) but keeping the same control limitations which were the downfall of 99% of PSP console ports. These limited control options just aren't good enough for operating a game designed for a real console. Peace Walker built its control scheme around those limitations and that worked out pretty well, but most games won't.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater introduces new depth and thrilling gameplay. It's a new level of gaming, with all the detailed levels, thrilling gameplay and stunning plot twists players crave. Set in the 1960s, you become a legendary soldier sent to uncover the secret behind Metal Gear, a top-secret superweapon with nuclear capability. You are all alone in hostile territory -- but you will complete this mission, to secure the continued existence of human life.
