@KreacherOfBloodandRank: Metal Gear has been online for quite some time now. Still haven't tried it out yet, I don't think it's a Metal Gear experience without the insane story and hour long cutscenes.

whao! Backup a second!

Theres gonna be a Metal Gear Online?

when did this happen?

Why was i not informed sooner?

either way, this sounds like a lot of fun. I have always wondered what life would be like in the military conspiracy universe of Metal Gear. Now i can find out =)

Great news, I'm glad this is happening.
I was worried when they first announced the US Beta with no mention of an EU one.

@Kinburn: Hinting at a Bata shoe tie in? Plus being for the Euro release its quite fitting.

This will probably confirm MGS Saga 2.0 and the beta key will be included in the box.

@f0cus: Most online games on PSN do have coms support. This doesn't mean MGO won't have coms, as all the previous MGO versions had the same quick message system as shown.

I suppose I'll pluck a Snake line from the vast archives of quotables:

I'm rather envious of not having a PS3. But, I'll be keeping the portable side of things going with Portable Ops.

Keep up the good work, soldiers.

On screen chat message selection?

Bizarre...

I guess with PSN not having much in the way of voice comms you have to have something?

Obviously a typo. It should read "Metal Gear Online BACTA
Coming To Europe". Because Metal Gear has healing properties.

I agree, the screen shot is underwhelming, but I'm not judging the game until I play it. The text chat on the screen does leave a bad taste in my mouth. If this game doesn't allow voice chat I will not be wasting my time on the multiplayer portion.

@kNZA: Eh? it's just a screen shot. I'm sure we can find a nicer one for you! Or maybe we should base our views on the entire game on one screenshot. Like browsing games in a store and judging them on what pretty pictures they have on the back of the box. I guess Tetris would be the worst game ever in that case...

Ex Zipit ay!

Candlejack — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:15:00 MDT

@kNZA: How can you even tell with a screenshot that small? Also, online usually isn't about graphics but more about playability and fun. Of course, I expect singleplayer graphics in the multiplayer nowadays, because I believe it can always be done.

@slayaz:

That is an understatement.

@Groodle:

You are blind, a fanboy, or both.

Stop beating off to pictures of daddy Snake for a minute and actually take a look at that screenshot...

It looks like ass.

MGS4 may be a kick ass game...I don't know...haven't played it yet...but that screen is asstastic.

Try to be honest, no matter where your allegiances might lie.

Candlejack — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:47:28 MDT

Yea Konami, don't fuck with Europe. We know Internets. You've had to block all non-Japanese IP's off your account websites for a reason.

Also, whatever they require for the beta, I'm buying/paying it. I can't resist this opportunity. I'd probably give a kidney. But in that case the game better come with a life sized figurine of Solid Snake.
