It would have probably been easier to fix the aspect ratio than to fix every little thing that rears its ugly head in the sides.

Good point. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I thought there was an option to remove the black bar on the bottom of the screen? Y'know, just so you see the text. Dunno, maybe I'm thinking of another MGS game. Haven't played MGS, 2 and 3 in a while.

No, you only had the option to disable subtitles.

OH! Yeah, that's what It was. The black bar is unnecessary tbh. Especially if you want a true HD experience; but you have a damn black bar on the bottom quarter of the screen.

I hope they fix the little things on the final release. As stated earlier, Kojima is pretty much perfectionist. I have faith in him. And Bluepoint.

God damn I'm conflicted about his game... for one I'm not sure if it's worth it. I already have the essential collection but it's not HD and no Peace Walker. With the rumors of online play I would want it for PS3 (don't have one) also for the whole "transfarring thing" I guess what I'm saying is should I get a PS3 just for this game? (well others too but initially this) I mean I guess the responsible thing would be save up for car insurance and a car and a license... I AM IN DESPAIR THIS WORLD THAT RUNS ON MONEY HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR!

Plus online play is still just a rumor.

I don't really think that the Chosen Format is an issue so unless the screen tears during The Boss fight with The Boss I don't see the need for pitch forks RISING anytime soon...

Yeah tell me about it. Catherine came out, next up is HD collection, Assassins Creed: Revelations, and then SKYRIM OH MY GOWD SKYRIM. I really need to work more if I can keep up with my video game addiction...

Worst year for me was 2004. I still remember it vividly.

MGS3
Painkiller
Hitman: Contracts
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines
NFSU2
Far Cry
Rise of Nations
KOTOR2
Tony Hawk's Underground 2
Half Life 2
Thief Deadly Shadows
Chronicles of Riddick
Fable
Silent Hill 4
SW Battlefront
Ace Combat 5
San Andreas
Warrior Within


So many important games. In one fucking year. I had to pirate half of that shit.

Agreed, but to the topic of cutscenes, why can't they just..remove those boarders. Perhaps it's some type of limitation or something that might break the games. Who knows?

What you just said made me think of something that demolishes Eyestone's PR talking point: if extending the sides was done to "show more of the action" then why don't they just extend the top and bottom thus, replacing the letterboxing with "more of the action"?

The reality is that it was probably a more time consuming task to have the real-time cutscenes rendered in it's original 16:8ish aspect ratio. Of course, saying something like that and expecting fans to drop $40+ on re-releases sounds unfriendly. So lying is a better idea.

We're even quoting the same sentence.


Btw: Try to get MGS2Substance,3Subsistance and Peacewalker for less than 39€/$ and add HD, upscaled textures, bonus content, 5.1 sound, transfarring, and stuff. I find it more than worthy picking up. I'm really looking foreward to this.

And I brought it up before you did, so I guess it canceled us out.

That looks like an ass-shot of a dead Arsenal Tengu. We know how much Hideo loves ass-shots. Are we sure the weird stuff on the screen are really not supposed to be there?

Yes, because it wasn't in the PS2 version. If anyone still has Document of MGS2, I bet you'll find plenty of areas where this is going to be a problem. If I could find mine I'd be checking it out.
