I guess I can continue holding out on buying it until the Game of the Year Edition hits, since the regular version is still full price.

Really? It's been about £20 here in most shops for months now.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well I'm definitely glad I waited on getting the game, despite being pretty interested in it. Still don't know if I'm willing to pay full price for the GotY edition (because I'm cheap like that), but at least there's a way better chance of the physical game going on sale than there is of the DLC doing so.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I still see it for full price everywhere too.

Sadly, I already got the game, so if I want the new DLC I will end up spending something like $110 on the game. Fuck.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I guess it must not be as popular over here or something. Us Europeans do only play football games after all.

I've seen it on sale a couple of times (for around $40 or so), but never low enough to prompt me to buy it (which is usually about $20 or so for most games I'm interested in).

One thing I'm wondering though is if they're going to release another Collector's Edition along with the GotY version. I kinda doubt it, though I'd certainly buy it since I usually try to get them when they're available. But if it comes down to getting the CE or getting the GotY, there's no question I'm gonna choose the better value on in-game content over some knick knacks I don't actually need.

Well, it is called "Duke Nukem' Forever..."

Also, just wanted to mention a possible new Dreamcast homebrew game (that's not some junk puzzler or scrolling shooter). It's called Hypertension and it's a port/remake/homage of "Blood" by Monolith Software: New Dreamcast FPS “Hypertension” on its way - Sega Nerds Supposedly there are a lot of other FPS homebrew out there; I'm going to have to do some hunting...

Eagle-eyed forum member Amblix caught something neat while watching G4's exclusive preview of the upcoming Dark Corners DLC/All Fronts collection. At exactly 2:49 in the following video, the camera pans by a row of TV's, the one on the right showing someone playing Horde. It catches him right at the start of a new wave, with the achievement progression bar popping up in the lower right, notifying the gain of experience from the previous wave.

So while this isn't exaclty confirmation, it does appear the next title update (that will add in code for the Dark Corners DLC) will give the ability to earn experience while playing Horde mode. The only thing we need to know now, is how terrible the conversion will be. Currently the worst mode to play is Annex at a mere 26% - I can only image Horde will be lower than this, even on Insane. Time will tell if this rumor is even true, and if so, if it will speed up the long haul to level 100.

I can only pray that should this become a reality, it could work in Private sessions and not just in Public sessions. I'd rather turn my eye in a clear moment and see intelligent teammates shooting down Grinders and Boomers than having to turn my head and see 3 guys get taken down in 2-second spans.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So it looks like Kojima's new game is another Big Boss prequel.

That's some imposing art of Big Boss right there. I'm excited~ Wonder if it's going to be MGS5.

Also of note is that "P" and "R" now flash up on the screen along with "E", "3" and "5". E3, MGS5, PR...? Or maybe the 5 is an S, and it means PS3?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

SuperSonic · May 26, 2009, 09:08 PM

There's a lowercase e in there as well, but people have rumored that to be an @ symbol. In which case the message could read:

5 E3 @ PR

Along with the picture of Big Boss flashing from time to time. It's all speculation for now on whether it's MGS5 or a different Metal Gear, but something is definitely happening at E3.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dagobert · May 26, 2009, 09:12 PM

This needs to be translated like right now!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

5 PR(EQUEL) @ E3?

Maybe two parallel prequels in one game, one for Raiden (a lot of things happened to him after the events of MGS2 but before MGS4 that were mentioned only in passing) and one for Big Boss leading up to the events of the first Metal Gear (not Solid) game. That would finally cover the whole storyline... until they decide to make another game with The Boss during World War 2.

Why don't they just cut the bullshit and just make this a movie, with 7 minute load times in between scenes of course.

Kojima I am getting sick and tired of playing this game with you. You have IPs other than Metal Gear. Where is my next-gen Zone of the Enders?

In other, less Kojima-fellatio news, Raiden 4 has been announced for North American release. This is great news if you're one of the five people in NA that care about shmups on consoles. I hope you'll buy it twenty times so we'll get more of these stateside.

Nova's not wrong. Considering how much gameplay they remove with each progressive iteration here, I'm actually quite confused as to what they could remove from MGS4 while going forward. It's like performing organ removal surgery on a skeleton at this point. In the end, they'll just pull the spine out and it won't even resemble a game anymore. Just a mass of broken garbage on the floor.

It'll just turn into Xenosaga.

That makes me one of five apparently. Thanks for the heads up... although I'll probably only get one copy.

It'll be an on-rails, Virtua Cop style shooter, only to get the best stealth rating you have to not shoot anyone.

For those among us who enjoy fast-paced First Person Shooters, Steam is having a "Free To Play" weekend once again (Much like what they did with Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 recently) and this time it is for Unreal Tournament 3 Black.

The game can be 'pre-loaded' right now, and will be officially available to try out today at 10AM (Your time zone may vary). The game is Single and Multiplayer, features Co-op, and has Steam Achievements. In addition, it also includes the 'Titan Pack', which has lots more vehicles, weapons, characters and deployable items.
