Haha i like Kojimas style Playing the short section of MGS1 in MGS1 graphics, i was like WTF?. The Rex/Ray Fight was EPIC.

Yeah I loved that part :woot:

You're making good progress through the game!

Cant stop playing this game, i play it in 4-5 hour stints then have a break for an hour or so, there arent many games that get me so engrossed, there arent many games that make me really care about the characters either, there were quite a few moments when i was gutted. Not looking forward to the ending :(

Epic game, dont think there will be many games that can touch MGS4 now, fairly happy with the ending. Got a little bit fedup with some of the cutscenes they dragged on far too long but for the most part im well impressed.

Also while on the South American Trail following Naomi did anyone come across this?

I took a picture of it with the ingame camera, im guessing its the core of Kojimas team, cant realy make out the signatures.

I know what you're on about, I'd have taken a pic if I remembered to pick up the camera lol

OMG at the ending! :o I was convinced that Snake was going to die at the end.. if your reading this Kojima, Snake's got at least one more game left in him yet! haha :laugh:

From what I interpreted the ending as Snake is supposed to die due to his accelerated aging, and he is spending his final days with Otacon and Sunny. Therefore it's safe to assume there won't be any more future games starring Solid Snake.

They've said it was the last game about Snake anyway. They could potentially do a game about Raiden getting Big Boss and Sunny.

I've seen a Youtube vid of someone going to that handprint area, but I've never been there myself.

Oh.. i meant how Snake was told that the Foxdie virus in his body that is mutating and about to cause a pandemic is being countered by Foxalive, and he has more time left

I did remember that rite did'nt i? :wacko:

Anyways.. has anybody unlocked any of the high emblems or special items yet? Am working on getting the figurines myself

I went through it on easy and got The solar gun (get all the figurines), stealth and bandana in one go, the hardest parts were the on-rails bits (on the APC and motorbike), other than that it's pretty easy.

I can only but wish you the best of luck, its not something I'll be trying till I have had my fun with the game, then when I do try, I won't feel so bad when i get angry at it, lol.

I don't think I'm going to continue lol, I cant pass the Frogs :crazy:

I played it at 1080p to be honest you wont realy notice the difference unless you have a massive TV, theres a large portion of low resolution textures through the whole game so a lower resolution might mask them a bit.

What do you think?? Jesus H Christ.

It's a valid question, the game doesn't natively render at 1080p so it may look better or worse, it just depends on how it's scaled.

As an answer to the question: it'll look about as good on either, you're not missing anything.

It's not a valid question though is it. Is it just me that can see what is happening here? Must be.

ho massive of a tv are we talking about. mine is 42 inch. probably mid ranged.

ah shoot hold on... my copy chooses to run at 720p though. but in the back it says 1080p is supported...

i will see to it... probably i will have to manually choose 1080 in the settings and uncheck 720p like in cod4.

Nope, it will run in 1080p even with 720p checked.

I can confirm that.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
