"metal gear solid 2 is it going too far?"

i like most of you out there wil be buying mgs2 but what i wanna know is have the developers of this game gone too far and added just too much detail hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

March 4th 2002

does anyone know the actual release date for mgs2 in britain?

Well, if I walked past a cooler full of ice in real life and took a look, I'd expect to see the larger icecubes melt more slowly than the smaller ones.

In games, especially where environment is all important for setting the scene, realism is a priority.

And if I'm spending £40 on a game, I want my icecubes to melt properly.

the waisting time part was a good point but surely y do u need melting ice cubes?

You could look at this two ways.

Either you could say they've wasted a lot of development time on icecubes that maybe could have been better directed into the gameplay

or

You could say that MGS2 is setting standards in physical law depiction on a console that other developers are going to have to meet in the future.

When MGS first came out on the PSX, most developers took a quick look and said: "Know what guys? We're gonna need a bigger console here..."

yeah like making the ice melt in the ships lounge and that the larger clumps of ice melt slower than the smaller clumps

metal gear solid x is just mgs2 but for the x-box

What exactly is Metal Gear Solid X on the xbox?

erm.... too far?!?!?!?

Propably
but MGS the original just blew every other PS1 game out of the water for it's detail and realistic enviroments and MGS2 seems to have fixed nearly all of the faults seen in the first game and it looks damn good.


I JUST HOPE YOU CAN SKIP THE FLIPPING CODEC TALKS.
