They seem to have an unhealthy obsession with crotch shots...

The graphics are great. I just hope it dosent go too first person-ish.

Yo Keiichi, you didn't miss all the MGS2 stuff on Gamespot did you? They had like a week long thing, mad new movies and shots. The movies aren't in crappy quicktime either. :)

Looks nice, but what is that m9 he is firing (the clip with the Silenced pistol that he re-cocks on every shot)?
Is that a Berreta M9? And if so can you get tranq darts for em?
(I know MGS isn't realistic, just wanted to know).

[ShakKen]

It's not a Beretta, that's for sure.

Oh wait, that IS a Beretta. Some sort of obscure locked slide version. Don't ask we where to find 9mm tranks tho.

I found out what it is:
Its a coverted M9 (in MGS 2 world) that has been designed to fire tranq darts. Stated in the intro to the demo. Someone at work managed to get hold of it, so I'm gonna give it a play later.

Ta for the info though..

Perhaps I'll post here after I've had a play on it.

What's the non-tranquilizer firing weapon that he shoots everyone in the... uh... ass with? A SOCOM?

If you read the bottom right of the screen, it says USP.

The demo rocks, the only problem is, the game won't be released for a year... Oh well..

[CoffeyCan]

can someone fill me in: Will this be a simul PC PS2 game or will we wait for 2 years like the first one?

Thanks

-Snakebite-: It's only about 5 or 6 months away from release, not a year.

CoffeyCan: Nope. It's PS2-only. From the looks of it, a port to another system won't even be possible. Most of the game engine is custom built for the PS2 hardware.

Yeah, but you know what game developers are like (not that I work for one or anything :)).

[Cap'n Beeb]

Actually, I heard that Metal Gear X will be MGS2 on the (take a guess) X-Box... hopefully thats true :crossfingers:

I want to do my part to make the world a better place, but murder is illegal.

[Ballistophobia]

Keiichi, I just read again that MSGx will be MGS2 for the xbox.

[OICW]

Ballistophobia, MGS X has NOT been confirmed in any way. Konami have said that they are only working on MGS2 for PS2 for now.

Damnit, Zone of Enders won't come out here in Australia for a few months! I want that MGS2 demo NOW!!!!!!!!!

"BEEEER!"

[Keiichi]

Don't make me start quoting reputable gaming sites again. Konami and Hideo Kojima have stated numerous times that Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is going to be PS2-exclusive and that no plans have been made for MGSX whatsoever. If it's not official word from Konami or Kojima, it's nothing but rumors. Metal Gear Solid 2 is the PS2's "killer app". I doubt Sony will give it up without a fight. Besides, as was mentioned previously, MGS2 is practically custom built to run specifically on the PS2 hardware. To port it to another system, they'd basically have to rewrite the entire game engine.
