PiracyX Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 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.

Jeremy Clarkson Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Nope, it will run in 1080p even with 720p checked.I can confirm that. ah good good than. i have nothing to say. i love native 1080p games (except echochrome) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/622740-metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots-discussion-thread/page/80/#findComment-589523636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hammond Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 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.

Richard Hammond Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 There are some stunning visuals later in the game and near the end. There are a few framerate drops which do get a bit annoying though.

Richard Hammond Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I suppose so, but there are some pretty severe drops through the game, The bit where Liquid removes the SOP control over the PMCs and they go mental theres a pretty BIG dip there.

j0sh097 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 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.

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.

Kushan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 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.

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.

FiB3R Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 What bugs me more than that, is how slowly you turn when aiming. Must check if there's an option to speed that up.

Kushan Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 When you "aim", snake immediately points to where the camera is pointed, so if you need to quickly turn around, just let go of the aim button, flip the camera around and then press aim again.

chicken-royal Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Finished this on Wednesday, excellent game. I got into the series the week MGS4 came out. So I played all the MGS games within three weeks. Really impressed with the series, not sure why I waited until now to play them, but I'm glad I did!
