Who preordered the new Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes?

[GTmaster39]

I preordered mine this morning. I should be getting it on the 10th. :D

[Mr Unoriginal]

Now I don't want to sound totally pessimistic, but why do people pay good money for remakes of games? Especially games that are not even more than one generation of consoles old.

[guyver2077]

cuz the game is awesome...bout time metal gear returns to nintendo...i wanna pre order too....where u order it from

So the reason you are buying it is because it is coming out on a nintendo system?

[Battousai1002]

The remake is a big jump in my opinion. As a fan of the original game, I feel a great obligation to play the new one.

[guyver2077]

well the truth would be cuz it a quality game coming out for cube..its just one of those games that ppl say whoa about...

[Mr Unoriginal]

Well I admit I don't know too much about this game, is there going to be a lot added to it or jsut a graphics update?

[Battousai1002]

1. graphics update
2. gameplay update - as in all the features of mgs2 can be used in this, namely the shooting in first person view
3. brand new cinematics - they already released 27 minutes of it, which was really impressive. I suspect there would be even more.

Those are what I can think of off the top of my head... They're probably the big 3, though there are more. Anyways, it's not merely a graphically improved port.

[CaseyRyback]

put 20 on a GGC. Does this count as a pre-order.

[Mr Unoriginal]

Hmm well I guess remakes are not for me. $50 to shoot in first person doesnt seem worth it. Granted the cinematics are something, but you wouldn't pay $50 to see the same movie 5 years later. Or wait, some people probably would.

[CaseyRyback]

it retails for 40. Also if people buy it, maybe GCN will get ports of other Konami games. Maybe a ZOE on the GCN or a MGS 2 or 3 port.

Personally I am buying it because I have never played the original.

[guyver2077]

well its $40......but im very impressed with the game....im not even a big metal gear fan but i have to add to my collection.....i was lookin at that 27 min video but i could not watch it all....did not want to be spoiled

[Mr Unoriginal]

Ok, I'm seriously not trying to flame but i don't understand? You don't even really like MEtal Gear, but you NEED the game because it looks cool? You also don't want it to be spoiled? Have you played the orginial? Is the story different in the remake?

[guyver2077]

well when the first one came out.....i never had a playstation....i hated sony to death..but i always knew the game was good...even though i never got into it....

[Mr Unoriginal]

So buying it on GCN will literally be your first time playing it?

[guyver2077]

you can say so i guess....like i always watch people play it on psx...but would never be wowes or nuthing...but you can tell the story very good...and the i can finallly play mgs 2 wich i have for xbox and havent even touched

[GTmaster39]

Mr Unoriginal, maybe you should look at the movies on Konami's website. Then maybe you'll "understand," why this game is so great.

[guyver2077]

i know ..lol....i love the cinomatic feel to the game...they only thing im worried about is that its coming out at a crowded time.....im getting so many games this month that i hope i dont just shelf it.....it should of come out last month or next month

[GTmaster39]

cuz the game is awesome...bout time metal gear returns to nintendo...i wanna pre order too....where u order it from

I got mine at a GameStop B&M, and just paid the full price for the game, so I dont accidently blow all my money on something stupid. Anyways. You can pre-order it at either www.ebworld.com or www.gamestop.com.

[msdmoney]

Maybe I am one of the few cube owners not really excited about this. I played the original, and even with the gameplay changes I am not sure the remake is worth buying for me. Cinematics certainly won't do it for me, I can't stand long drawn out cinematics, I just wanna play a game. Maybe I will pick this up when I see it cheap and give it a play through again, but I never preorder games anyways, not cheapass enough for me.

[sisco1986]

I ordered mine on Thursday (March 12) from Target.com. Still haven't received it yet, I hate Targets shipping they never let you choose what carrier you want it shipped with and they take there bloody time shipping it out. I should get it on the weekend. :x (crosses fingers)
