MGS3 movie on the way News

Speaking of MGS3.

MGS3 Subsistence scored 10, 10, 9, 10 - (39/40) in Famitsu.

Sounds cool..

I'll wait for it to hit the p2p networks about 12 mins after it airs... ;)

can't wait to play MGS online, and the movie would be a great bonus. Come on Konami Europe give us a full three disc version. I also can't wait to finaly play Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 in english.

Three and a half hours?!

Each to their own, but if the plot and dialogue is anything like the games I personally would see 3 1/2 hours of it as some kind of stamina test.

Should be entertaining listening to actors try and say "laliloolilaloo" (or whatever it is) in a natural voice though.

It is the game, just with the gameplay sections replaced with new cuttscnes to make it all fitt together.
Could be good, the story and cutt scenes in MGS 3 were excelent. 3 and half hours is indeed pushing it a bitt. Perhaps they should have cutt it down a little, but since it's DVD you could always watch it in sections.

Ah this is true. I'd be busting for a whizz after 3 cola drinking hours in a cinema seat, but being able to hop in and out in the comfort of your own living room will make it a better experience.

But will it be better than Animatrix I ask?

Metal........Gear...........

"snake we need to get into that building"
"that building?"
"yes that building, we need to disable the security system"
"the seciroty system?"
"yes and then get to the secret document hidden deep within"
"secret documents?"
"..........."
"hello?"
"Shut up snake"

Ahem... http://www.newzealandstory.com/mgs/

chears for the link berklee, i'd forgotten the name of that site. But 6.53gb of space (not to mention download time), i think i'll wait and buy it.

cool. i need to know what happens after the middle ('the end' boss fight)

I still feel it's stupid of Konami to release MGS3 Susistence only on PS2. After all it didn't hurt them releasing MGS1 for the PC and MGS2 Substance for PC/XBox.

myiagros: Actually, you can select which files NOT to download, so if you only want to download MGS3, you can.

And since today: PSP version, 2.22gb for all three movies, playable with VLC.

JonFE i would agree with you if either the PC or Xbox versions had done the game justice, but they did not.

Powerful stuff. Reminds me of the tense moment with the key card in MGS. The heat-activated key card. The key card with the three functions. The three heat-activated functions. The key card. The tense moment with the key card. In MGS.

MGS3 game cut-scenes on the big silver screen?

/books ticket to Japan.

Why don't they just play the game, it's the same thing. ;)

BA DUM TISH

man this will be as exciting as watching paint dry

sounds a lot like the shenmue movie, except less boring maybe

What in gods name do you have to do to get the torrent working on the site that berklee posted?

yeah, are any of those torrents active?

The main torrent for all three movies (the big one) is definitely active, but unfortunately the tracker is unreachable. This means that it's only available by dynamic tracking. For that you need BitComet or Azureus. The secondary (PSP) torrent hasn't made contact with the tracker yet, and I don't know how to remedy the situations, once it hits the tracker succesfully, dynamic tracking can take over. The deprecated single-CD torrent links are dynamic tracking only as well, so your best bet at the moment is the main torrent.

I'm really starting to dislike BitTorrent... :)

Dynamic tracking only, huh?
I'll grab Azureus for just this download then.

Great that you did this, now the massive narrative of this game can be explored and focused upon, without having to spend the days playing through the game again. (I'm really curious to see how you edited it all together though, what "your version" of it all is.)

myiagros, since I haven't seen the originals, I really cannot tell if the PC/Xbox versions were up to the task (although I'm pretty sure that a good port to these platforms is do-able). What I do know is that I hoped to play MGS3 as well - but not to the extent of purchasing a PS2 to do so.

Who knows, if I ever buy a PS3, I might play it -along with MGS4- on that...

I'm having problems seeding the PSP version in any means other than Dynamic Tracking. The normal versions are constantly seeded by me.

Jonathan_Fakenham: (I'm really curious to see how you edited it all together though, what "your version" of it all is.)

When I set out to do MGS1, I edited it together so that a non-gamer could stand to watch it. The codec sequences were extremely boring and non-engaging within that context. So I've cut a fair bit here and there, without trying to spoil the story. Going through MGS2 I had to let go of that, and just tried to make a coherent story of it all. Pretty difficult. MGS3 simply has the best story of the three games, far less codecs, more meaningful exposition and makes for a better "movie" experience.

I've been criticised for leaving out certain exposition scenes at the beginning, during the parachute jump. I felt the briefing of the Virtuos Mission made total sense within the game context, but none within the movie. Why spend 7 minutes expanding on rescuing a scientist and repeat it in 3 sentences during the parachute jump in the next sequence?

Also, I've left out the boss-fights with The Fear, The End and The Fury. I really wanted to leave The Fury in, but I couldn't justify it after cutting The Fear, and The End. The reason I left them out is because of the role the boss-fights play in the game. The Pain is still in there, and the other boss-fights basically mimic that one. I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

I can't wait!!! So exciting! By the way, check the animation http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/226467
There's also a sequel to it. They're cool and the quality of the graphics are quite good for a flash.
