I have played both MGS games, but that's a fair point. It's just that when I saw Snake changing his camo suits it looked really silly. But it is just a game afterall, it's not supposed to be too realistic. Still, I won't be buying it as I can't stand the stealth genre anymore. :)

I can't wait, big fan of both turn based RPG's and Stealth games, can't wait for this, have the PS2 on pre-order so hopefully it will see daylight state side before the year is out.

Yea I understand what you mean, but I don't spend anywhere near the same amount of time with games as I used to. So I prefer those 'pick-up-and-play' titles over slow paced stealth games. I'd prefer a good racer, a shoot-em-up or a sports sim now.

By using camouflage, hiding in trees and bushes and crawling very very slowly through the grass. I watched a demo of MGS3 and it looked just as boring as the last games, and the transition between camo suits looked stupid, his new suits just appeared out of no-where. So as a guard approached, it went to a menu system and the new camo suit appeared. If that was real life Snake would have had to sit up and get changed while the guard was approaching, it just looks like a poor game from my point of view.

I'm the exact opposite i love stealth games as they require you to think whereas blast 'em ups just require you to open the door and blast everything in sight....and repeat until you get to the end.
It's why i prefer turn based RPG's over live action RPG's because all those games are in my opinion is you running around hammering X everytime you see something. Least with turn based and especially Strategy RPG's you have to think about how to defeat an enemy and pick him apart by exploiting his weakness or organise your party so they can all run down and attack him all at once and destroy him.

The reason I reckon it'll be crap is purely because I've hated the other Metal Gear games. I can't stand games where you have to be stealthy, they're so boring.
Few, but because it's always crap, not because no-one's tried before.
