On the back of the PAL release it says HD 720p NOT 1080p. Even though it does scaled to 1080p it wasn't listed on the back of the PAL release at all.

Also i doubt the game is even running at native 720p anyway.

If you like 1080p then youll love this game, it is stunning, apart from the odd set of jaggies and low resolution textures its not the best looking game ever but some sections make your jaw drop in awe.

I have a quick question about the game. I'm considering buying it (maybe tomorrow) and i'd like to know if it has offline multiplayer (split screen) and if so how does it work? Is it co-op or just versus? How many players is it? If it is only versus are bots supported (i.e. two human players vs two computers)? Also, is MGO free?

TBH I'm probably going to buy it either way but I would really like to know this beforehand.

no offline multiplayer, just online...hence the name metal gear online. ;) and yes, MGO is free.

Thank you very much for answering my question. I knew MGO was online but I wanted to know if the game came with an extra offline multiplayer option. I'm pretty sure that is what you were referring to though so thanks again for answering my question.

Show me a game with no framerate drops? Every game I've played (and it alot) all have them along the way, somewhere.

Depends what you mean by framerate drops. No game runs at a consistent FPS from beginning to end, that's just impossible really. But since most games run at around 30fps, even a small drop is noticeable to most people.

The problem arises when the game drops quite a bit. Imagine a game that's running at 30FPS dropping to say 27FPS. That might not sound like much, but in reality it's a 10% drop and very noticeable

The thing about MGS4 is that, to me, it seems to run just shy of 30FPS most of the time, but every now and then the Frame Rate goes UP, which is just as distracting for me. Konami should have locked the frame rate closer to the average they expected to get.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

In cut-scenes especially, the FPS would just shoot up and everything would be so much smoother, then it would drop back down - It was quite annoying.

But that's minor stuff, of course.

Argh I really want to play through this again, but I need to wait for the trophy patch :(

At least drop us a line Konami, FFS. Tell us if it's coming or not please! If not, I don't care just want to play again.

If I had just bought MGS4 though, stuff trophies, I'd be playing :p

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
