"MGS2 Has Set The Future Of Gaming"

MGS2 has set what we must call the future of gaming, the game contains 'State Of The Art' gameplay with a blend of next generation graphics and out of this world sounds. When the game is released game designers will find it hard to keep up with the demands from us as the game will be such a blockbuster title that will make us as gamers want more out of gaming in the future. At the moment i only own a demo of the gam, but the demo alone has blone me away with the stylish and highly entertaining introduction that no game to date has used. When we think of a video-game we think of Mario or collecting stars to save the princess from the tower, but in fact its not, it is a world of sinister organisations that we as gamers get to fight and bring to justice! MGS2 has maxed the way we can interact with video-games, we can now shoot fire extinguishers and magazines to startle our enemies or we can hide in lockers whilst our hands rumble due to the heart beat setting off the rumble functions on the latest in gaming technology. If we take a look back at how far gaming has come in the last 10 years we won't be able to beleive that we once controlled a 2-D plain looking character whilst collecting all the stars on the screen. Gaming has changed but not any one game has changed gaming up until now. MGS2 will be the first ground-breaking title that will change the way we game in the future, we will want more and more out of gaming and our demands will have to be met or companies will not sell their merchandise. GTA3 was the first real game to bring the effects of the weather and natural day to night changes, but MGS2 has taken it a step further again, if we look up rain drops fall on our cameras or if we walk on dry surfaces our foot prints are left so that we can be trased by our enemies. Games in the future will have to match the high level of design that has gone into such games as, GTA3, MGS2, DEVIL MAY CRY, MAX PAYNE, PRO EVOLUTION SOCCER. Desgners are running out of ideas and titles are being rushed instead of time being spent on hem to make the game a worthy purchase and a good adddition to our ever growing gaming collections. Cut-Scenes have never looked so good, long gone are the little 2 minute introductions and the little cut-scenes, we now have movie sequences that help to build the story. We as gamers can control the way that we will game in the future, people know the styles of games we like and the way we like to game and the designers are finally starting to listen to what we demand to be put into a next generation game. After the release of MGS2 the future of gaming will change, it is an exciting move into the future but what might we be doing on games in another 10 years time? It is hard to imagine that we will once game as the lead player and control our actions by the way we move and think, bring on the gaming future!

Ok, I'll have a look at that one.

i did open it up as a new one called MGS2 a new gaming era, i wanted people to post in that because i paragraphed it so you can read it and post it in that, i will bring it to the top of the post list for you!

I might have read that if there were any kinds of paragraphs at all.

My eyes are too tired for the sort of thing you've done.

i have heard that the ps2 version is better but if you own the original it isn't worth it. i sold my pc version so i won't be getting the ps2 one even though i have heard that it is better!

don't get it for ps2 if u have it on pc, the ps2's versions graphics aint as good and it slows down alot, frooze twice on me aswell.

i aren't getting wound up by it i am just looking forward to it and i have a right to get enthused by such a great game, if you read the magazines reviews you will know that the game lives up to the hype.

Stop getting so wound up about MGS2 when the bloody game isnt even out over here yet and only our cousons over the pond have played it - maybe you should listen to some of the things beserker is saying alik - at least he has the benefit of playing the whole game whereas you are basing your views solely on the demo and on what you reading from reviewers who have been adding to the hype around the game since it was first announced.

Let's see what people say once it's out and once the general public start playing it.

i loved the first MGS and i am sure i will love the 2nd, gamespot and ign wouldn't rate the game so high if it was rubbish after the first mission like you say! what is wrong with it after the first mission?

everyone is saying that and it is putting me off a bit, is it because you don't play as snake or is there less enemies?

Here's the deal, games never live up to their hype and demos don't show you the whole game. The MGS2:SOL demo is accually better than the game. I know that's a weird statement but it's accually true because after you get off the tanker the game really goes down the drain.
