MGO2 will be back and able to be played on unhacked consoles

Interesting.

The wonders of technology!

I monitoring these threads, but MGO2 is already part of my muscle memory

Got to a link to all this so I don't have to keep looking for these threads?

>>13168
Ain't it grand?

>>13169
I never got to play when I was younger, but man, I played a lot of MGO3. Talking to so many MGO2 vets in the early days made me really eager to play it. The fact that it's going to be playable on unhacked consoles is a godsend. Best Timeline.

>>13170
Yeah, I'll look at the forum and find the topic specifically for it. Has a lot of great and exact information as well as various proofs of concept. It'll take a second though. Posting this to bump.

Here's the official strawpoll for it.

Almost 700 people for North America and a little over 600 for Europe are the outliers.

Sad.

>>13175
MGO3 has class shit

>>13175
It's like MGO3 but not garbage.

>>13175
Better maps, greater customization, more heroes, subjectively speaking better customization.

1300 people are saying they want to play MGO2 in NA and Europe alone, on PS3 alone.

"Why play Splinter Cell 1 if Splinter Cell 2 exists?"

"Why play Majora's Mask if there's OoT?"

>>13178
btw the distinction between "better" and "greater" is that MGO2 is objectively more detailed but some people may prefer MGO3's limited options for their stylized appearances. I like MGO3's stuff, but I like MGO2's impressive variety and depth more personally.

>>13183
MGO1 was a headshot and box-crouching meme machine. From what I know, MGO2 was the best of them all, not the least of the reasons being custom gamemodes.

The only way is the streaming service which is not only utter dogshit but also you wouldn't be able to spoof the content update to allow you to play MGO2. Sorry. Good news is that I'm fairly certain the Greatest Hits version is identical to the original release and is like $3 at GS.

>>13186
Sorry, I misread your post. I didn't know it was removed. That sucks. It was probably due to the DS4 having issues playing MGS4 because the DS4 and DS3 work differently, causing pressure sensitive shit to be fucked up and if you go diagonally you can't run resulting in a lot of stopping and going.

>>13206
Gotcha. I'm trying to contact Playstation live chat support to get more information direct from the source but the fuckers apparently don't like talking to people.

Thanks for the tip.

One thing is that every single instance of this speaks of having a fucked HDD at the time of restore. If we restore from USB, will it wipe the HDD? Or is it that after wiping the HDD to repair it, the restore did not include a bunch of stuff it should've?

I can't find anyone saying that it WIPES the HDD to do so, only that upon restoring they were disappointed by what was recovered.

See above. There's significantly more than that at any given time right now, the amount that'll be playing soon is astronomical in comparison.

I'm sure. On youtube footage of current play, they're present sometimes. With the influx of players, there'll be people wanting to try things out. One thing for example is that it's likely gear will either start off 100% unlocked or require minor grinding.

>>13223
Some people think that it's unfair since they have powers that set them apart. I disagree with this sentiment. I feel instead that the heroes make the game much more interesting. Fighting alongside a competent hero must be exciting in MGO2. Certainly was in MGO3, although I preferred to play as my OCs DO NOT STEAL.

In MGO3, at least, playing as a hero felt like it ruined my strategy. If we could give up the hero slot it'd be fine. I responded to this by learning how to use the heroes, but still, it can ruin an established dynamic especially in a team.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E81XDXc1WGI

This is obviously GR:W, but the point stands. If we were approaching this objective and suddenly my character transformed into another one with different weapons, abilities, and nuances, it would destroy any semblance of planning from before and require an entirely different mindset and playstyle. In this, we knew what we had, who we were, and what we needed to do and we did it. <50 seconds from breach to clear, 3 stories, no casualties, 30 rounds total spent on my end.

Hop in on it when the new version comes out, that way you're playing with people 5 years out of practice and newbies like me. It won't be any different from playing any shootan. If you're that nervous, try playing some MGS4. I've got a TON of hours in MGO3 and know for a fact that I'm damned good at it. K:D when not fucking around was usually about 5:2 with average kills 10+. I used to get hate mail.

I tried playing MGS4 on Hard like I used to and got destroyed by AI, hahaha.

You'll do fine.

>>13233
>>13234
I played since the beta in 2008 up till a few months before it got shut and I was still awful and would get my shit pushed in all the time. Game is still fun though. The lobby games aren't really anything to worry about, it's the survival mode where the clans will be together and will rape you in 5 seconds. And that won't even be up when the game first comes back online.

To add on, the vague nature of the aiming reticle results in approximation rather than exact aiming.
https://youtu.be/O_ecj3bGdmo
Shooting someone's big toe while they're behind cover seems basically impossible. You see a lot more real life type shit going on, attaining hits by volume and firing one or two shots only when going for accuracy instead of short bursts like in MGO3. IRL, taking your gun off semi is a fucking stupid thing to do most of the time for many reasons. The clanrape occurs because of tactics and map familiarity, although I see a lot of people crouching and spinning in circles.

man what the fuck is there to play until this comes out? I want something like mgs4 but I've played the campaign enough that I'm burnt out on it. Same for all the other ones except portable ops. What other games are like mgs? multiplayer/coop is a huge plus.

I know it's a fresh start for everyone, but are they going to fix how fucking long it takes to unlock stuff?

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is basically Peace Walker 2 where a Combat Unit fireteam is deployed to assist the FSLN in their mission. Katari 26 is literally FSLN for all intents and purposes complete with anti-cocaine sentiment and such lingo as "compa."

It's pretty fun, but there's a few things they could've done better. When is there not?

>>13241
It'll either be 100% unlocked at the start or easily achievable by a casual grind with custom shit able to be won in tournaments.

I'm surprised noone has atleast attempted to make a facsimile of MGO2 on PC. What's stopping anyone?

>>13244
MGO3 and fear of Konami I'd imagine.

>>13243
I'm hoping it's 100% unlocked, because I don't want to grind again.

>>13246
Me too. I just want to play dress up out the gate and then have fun. Grinding is the worst shit in the world and is a ridiculous method used to manipulate people into attributing value to something that doesn't actually exist by making it tedious or difficult to acquire.

This is evident in the prestige red berets always hold for no reason other than high cost which is associate with a long grind. You may say that "it's a badge of honor," but I'd counter this with "fuck that, let your actions speak for themselves instead of peacocking."

>>13245

Well MGO3 is different enough that it doesn't fill the same gaps that MGO2's demise left. And you don't need to worry about konami if you're not stealing their IP/characters etc. it only needs to be functionally similar. I'm pretty sure they don't have exclusive rights to the basics of cqc

>>13248
Fans of MGO2 would be wanting to play MGO2. If you have a ripoff of it, just look at what happened to TF2 and Overwatch clones. They got DESTROYED. Plus, any company that makes a game like that is gonna want to make their own IP that they retain and profit from. That means executive meddling.

It's a lot of trouble to return to the status quo with none of the MGS attachment and a need to create entirely new mechanics, controls, etc to set itself sufficiently apart.

I'm doing a bad job at explaining, but surely you know what I mean.

>>13249

I think you're just thinking of it the wrong way. I don't expect a 'real' developer to drop tons of time and cash into it, but rather just some nerds that got tired of not being able to play MGO2 without so much work. The overwatch analogy doesn't really hold since those games had to compete with what they cloned, whereas since MGO2 isn't (wasn't) a thing, there's no competition. I just figured there'd be some dinky open fan-made project at some point.

>>13180

>>13182
>playing MGS on PC

I hope this is an april's fools joke

>>13250
The people with the passion to do that put that passion to work in preserving it instead of approximating it. Making it on PC would require the creation of a game from the ground up and a diverse skillset. These kinds of skills could be applied either at this high passion low pay task or at the request of some other studio for competitive pay and you're still in the same field as your passion. My guess is that it's mostly an issue of the passionate people never gathering under a banner and that passion being gratified elsewhere.

If you like that idea so much, and this is going to sound sarcastic but I mean it genuinely, you should consider doing it yourself. A lot of great shit has come about by someone wanting something to be a certain way and getting fed up with waiting for someone else to figure that shit out. Hell, that's basically what Kojima himself did.

"If I asked what people wanted, they would've said a faster horse."
-Kojima, 2014.

>>13252
>thinking any game if properly done wouldn't be better on PC
MGO2 could have been brought back a lot earlier if MGS4 had been on PC. I would think kb+m gameplay would be an improvement too so you don't have to fuck around with the analog sticks.

>>13254
I agree completely. DS3 controllers aren't exactly the best. Kb+m would be more comfy and precise. At the same time, I appreciate the movement control controllers give, the degrees with which we may move thanks to them, and the fact that everyone's aiming is approximate rather than precise resulting in more realistic gameplay instead of twitch shooting shit like in CS:S.

>>13255
PC gameplay and kb+m always leads to metafaggotry much more quickly than consoles, but eventually metafaggotry rules all.

>modding gets PSN ban
Hey dickhead, you dont need psn+ for pa3 online so just make a new account

>>13257
I don't know how they could turn this into a legal thing. The only thing I can think of is claiming monetary damage due to lost revenue because "they were totally gonna do that" or they amend ToS so that using altered gamedata will get you banned from PSN by Sony, but could Konami swing that from Sony? They don't seem to be on great terms, and with Kojimbles over in Sony's camp now I'd like to think that they would back his passionate fans over the corporate zombies.

They can C&D whatever they want, but he doesn't have to listen.

I've been rapidly approaching the point of attempting it myself or with friends, we'll see how that goes.

>>13260
Why, oh enlightened one, king of normies?

It's an above average game that does everything pretty well. Some issues I have include the fact that Ubisoft OBVIOUSLY ripped shit out at the last second to resell as high price DLC in a scumbag move of a level not seen since the thing with Street Fighter and that there are a few blatantly lazy design choices such as the firearms handling animations being amateurish instead of operator-ey and dialog lines that repeat.

>>13261
Do let your memes be dreams. You can do it lil nigga. Just make sure you stay true to your vision. Don't get so caught up in something that you lose sight of your surroundings and the opportunities before you. You stand to learn from the games you liked, what they did right and what they did wrong, and have a lot of examples of studios with great artistic integrity (Witcher 3) and those with none (ME:Andromeda)

>>13258
CFW gets console ban, not account ban (if you're dumb enough to even get banned). This method also doesn't modify your PS3 at all as far as I know, so it's not like Sony can detect it, anyway.
