I have a feeling that someone will complain but I feel that the people who like the metal gear games should know about this. There is a demo for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker out and you can download it from here: http://psp.ign.com/articles/102/1027904p1.html but just be aware that its all in Japanese, minus some menu options so look online for a guide or just do some good ol' trial and error. I played a bit of it and for the most part its actually quite good but maybe because I don't quite know the story(which is a god send after playing through MGS4's mess of a campaign). The controls are weird at first but a HUGE improvement over Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops's shitty control scheme. The camera is moved with the face buttons and you can do over the shoulder aiming by holding the L button, or you can turn auto lock if you want although its pretty broken. The only gripe I have with the controls is the fact that going prone is so awkward, you hold down on the D-pad and you get up by releasing it. Not only is that fucking awkward but for some reason i can't move or shoot in prone, which could have been pretty damn helpful if I didn't wanna get caught or if I wanted super accuracy. I also found it strange that 1st person aiming was removed, minus the weapons with scopes but to be honest its not a huge loss. There is also 4 player co-op for some reason, but it could be very helpful in some missions(since missions like the one where you must destroy a tank boss is impossible alone) and it works for the most part, me and my friend didn't notice any lag thankfully. Anyone already play it? Opinions?

No way! A demo already? Wow thanks for this man!
EDIT: Aw, crap I can't run it! I have to wait till CFW 6.00 is released. :fogetlaugh:
-
Which might never happen, or not in the next few months.
Meh.
EDIT: Even if it does get released it'll be another while most likely before ChickHEN*CFWEnabler people like me can use it.
And I wanted GT Portable..
._.
-
I don't mind waiting to be honest. It's worth waiting for games sometimes. Besides I don't play my PSP as much as I used to.
-
Just hope somebody picks up the CFW making, because otherwise it just won't ever happen.
-
I don't get why they took out moving and shooting while prone. That's like half of what Metal Gear gameplay is. Also the camera being controlled by buttons just seems stupid. It was weird how the Gamespot preview I read earlier today made these changes sound like features.

You can't be serious?

Yeah its a really stupid "feature" too, but really I don't mind it as much as I DO mind the fact that you can't move while in prone either. I hope this isn't gunna be present in the full game, or else I would be pretty damn annoyed.

taking away two of the things that made MGS what it was good job konami give yourselves a pat on the back

You know it's because of stupid decisions like this, that sometimes I am actually glad I hacked my psp and don't pay for most of the games.

No You dont. 5.51 is the minimum official firmware that you need
Im running 5.50 GEN-B and it works.
But you have to Edit the Version.txt to make it think its higher than 5.51.
If people express interest i'll Link to a guide or something.
Who knows there might be a hacked demo out by now.
There are afew things they've cut out that seem abit weird.
Like crawling, Aiming in first person, Moving when you're holding a guard hostage.
4 person co-op seems fucking AWESOME, but i haven't gotten around to it, no wireless points around.
But considering i managed to run through the demo just shooting the fuck out of everything/one i imagine it'd be much easier with multiple people.
Its still early days though, And those features might still be in there but i dont read japanese to undo it.

you are kidding right?
Crawling and aiming in first person.
Made the series.... right.

Hey Ax_dude when you say edit the version.txt, to what version do I put in and do I have to do anything else? They took out first person aiming as well? OMG...How am I going to headshot people...

Its not taken out COMPLETELY, from what I saw the sniper rifle and rocket launcher still have first person aiming. I find many weapons to be decently accurate without first person aiming, but maybe a bit too accurate since I can kill an enemy in the head perfectly from the other side of the map with a pistol or assault rifle if I am crouching(guess it makes up for the lack of prone shooting). The only weapon that is heavily inaccurate is the Light Machine Gun, but thats a piece of shit anyway since it's the same one from Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops but instead of firing really fast, it fires REALLY slow.

Basically If you are Running 5.50 GEN-B (Not sure about Gen-A) you change anything that says [5.50 ][/5.50] to [5.51 ][/5.51]
If you know how to geto the version thing then DANDY FANTASTIC!!!.
if not then hold "R" while turning it on and you get a menu
Goto "Advanced" and "Toggle USB (flash0)"
Plug in a usb cable,
On you computer navigate to <PSP Drive letter>:\Vsh\etc\
In there should be Version.txt
You ALSO need to make sure under *pause while i turn on my psp*
Under "Configuration" you must make use "Use version.txt" is "Currently: Enabled"
and
Under "Advanced" -> "Advanced Configuration" make sure "GAME plugins" is "Currently: Disabled"
The Rocket launcher and Sniper rifle are both scoped i dont think they really count as first person.
I mean they are, but you cant really just zoom in with the pistol and such. Its Different, Just leave it out.
I had no problems getting headshots, But now it seems the dudes have Armoured helmets which makes 1 hit killing them a tad of a Bitch, Or Tranqing them because by the time one guy falls, The other guy notices, walks over, wakes him up and then Falls asleep himself. Only to be woken seconds later by the other dude.
I need to find more people with psps that can play this, i fear its multiplayer ability is slightly lost on me.
-
Oh, I see the aiming is like in Resident evil 4 and 5, it's over the shoulder aiming that's good I prefer that than First person! I couldn't play since I couldn't find the version.txt in my psp.
EDIT: Nevermind I found it! You need to go into vsh menu (press select) change USB DEVICE to Flash 0 then go into USB connection.
EDIT 2: I find the control scheme more fitting I feel in control for once not like in the Portable Ops series.

Yeah, PO had terrible controls and online multiplayer(EVERYONE uses aim bots now so its pointless) but i will admit the auto aim was much better, that feature seems a bit broken in PW.

I wish there was a Metal Gear Solid where Snake had a magic carpet he could use to fly around. Maybe if Sonic was in it, they could call it Metal Gear Sonic, or they could have a Metal Gear Solid and Sonic at the Olympics. I don't know if this is the right topic to post this in.

Cant you play the smash brothers with snake in it?
Didn't that have Sonic in it?
And if not.
WHY NOT?
Why not make like a stealth Shmup, Where snake is on a Magical Carpet flying around fighting metal gears that sonic (Who is possessed by the ghost of Liquid but not really, its just nanobots controlled by Big Boss to make him think that he is possessed by the ghost of liquid. OH did i mention big boss is also dead at this point. No? Well he is. But really thats just nanomachines pretending he's dead)
ermm, metal gears that Sonic is sending after him because he is in control of a metal gear that makes smaller metal gears that makes smaller metal gears. And he's doing it all because like the last few metal gear solids the storyline is not ment to make sense.
Sonic is keeping this massive metal gear at a nearby Olympic field. And to get the unlock codes snake has to win the gold in hurdles, javelin and pole volt. Because they designed the keycard to only react to those medals. But turns out ITS THE KEYCARD TO ACTIVATE THE END CEREMONY. And big bosses plan to ruin the oylmpics for london. because they made liquid ever so british.
In other news, Does anyone know if you can take out that tank completely by stealth?
i've been told the driver pops out and you can stun him. But im not sure when/how.
i've managed to put all the footsoldiers to sleep but cant attack the tank without raising an alert.

That's impossible, everytime you attack you raise the alert, and you have to attack. You must take out the fuel tanks, then shoot the threads of the tank and take them all out, I think then the driver will pop out but I haven't gotten that far yet so I'm not sure, I read this off a guide.

Good strategy but it doesn't work alone. I tried that and I just ran out of ammunition, i had enough rockets to take out the fuel tanks but my LMG did nothing(and I unloaded all my ammo and nothing happened) and grenades were helpful but in limited supply. If there any like missile ammo laying around anywhere on the map?

That's true the chance of you doing this alone is very hard, I have only been able to take out four of the tank's thread, I don't think taking out the fuel tanks even do anything besides damage. I have seen a video of some guy taking on the tank himself but all he did was just kill all the guards and shoot two of the tank's threads prompting the commander to pop out then finishing him off. There are also no rocket launcher ammo around... :fogetcry:

There is a way to take out of all of the Tank's threads alone. You just need to shoot all of the fuel tanks in this order : 1 3 2 4. This will make the commander pop out, giving you the opportunity to destroy him. Hope I could help!
-
How do I know which one is the 2nd fuel tank, 3rd and etc?
-
Ok a much easier (or harder) way to get he tank commander to come out.
Is to take out ALL of the soldiers.
What i did is tranq'd them all around the same time, so go from the back one to the front on one side and then the other side, QUICK as you can because it seems they can see unconscious guys through the tank.
And if one guy gets woken up you are all screwed.
Once they are all down, Run over and Futon them away. Then piss off and hide before the next 4 arrive.
You can also kill them all but that'll raise the alarm.
Once 12-16 guys (I lost track) have been taken out the tank commander pops up to man the top machinegun.

That does work! But it's quite troublesome taking out soldiers and trying not to get cannon blasted by the tank. I have taken out the tank and all the soldiers the long way ONCE! For some reason I was choking the last of the four soliders and then the tank saw me and got alerted but for some reason it started going round in circles so I just shot it till it died and KO'ed the soldiers if they woke up again. :fogetlaugh:
-
I tried that too but every time i tranq the soldiers they get like super magnification/xray vision and sound the alarms, doesn't feel too much like a "stealth" game at that moment :/
-
yeah, i haven't managed to do it Stealthfully the whole way yet.
I'll get like 8 down and then get spotted when im trying to go hide to wait for them to go back and stand near the tank. And then im spotted i'll switch to a rifle and gun them all down.
The guards notice when they've been hit by a tranq round and they kinda go on a caution. So you have to keep your distance.
ALSO if the tank barrel aims at you normally the dude will spot you and send his men to investigate. I think anyway it might've been coincidence.
