"I'll Keep Coming." | Death Stranding, A Kojima Productions Thread

My biggest issue is the emphasis on boss battles. They're not very fun, to be honest.

but frank jaeger though

Ha, maybre today I'll finally have time to play a decent amount of MGS3.

Digital Foundry PS4 & Xbone hands-on tech analyst.

There's screenshots in the article, so if you want to be 100% dark, don't read.


Summary:
-Rock solid 60fps gameplay on both PS4 and Xbone.
-PS4 is cursed with double-buffer V-sync (kojima why?), causing rare drops and locking to 30fps during cutscenes.
-Xbone handles cutscenes slightly better because it doesn't have double-buffer V-sync, and drops to about 50fps during cutscenes, which again, is rare.
-PS4 has better image clarity because of 1080p (which is a given).

FOX engine putting in work, yo'.

30fps during cutscenes.

Meanwhile glorious PC gets the best, but gets online base delayed for a while

Have to say, Peace Walker is much better on HD than PSP. I'm actually having fun.

Most tense parts so far are the boss fights and sneaking to put the enemies to sleep and haul em back to base. Same with the bosses in the vehicles.

MGS3 question, slightly spoiler-y:

How slow am I if I just realized that the Colonel's plaything is EVA when I got to the Fortress?

A little slow, but not entirely. I think I got it right around when Volgin is punching the wall outside and The End is introduced. It's been years though so I can't remember.

The worst part is having to do EVERY boss in order to complete extra ops. There's like 30

slow as fuuuuuuck

you realize this game is for, uh, mature adults who catch on to these things...?

(not a real) spoiler

just kidding

is that why you've been staying up lately? playing this game?
i think that might explain it, maybe

If you're gonna play Zelda games, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess are must plays. For 3D anyway.

I was planning on playing them in this order:

Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Wind Waker
Twilight Princess
Skyward Sword (maybe)

I've heard that the last two are probably the worst but that they're still good. Wind Waker reminds me the most of old-school platformers and the original Jak and Daxter, so that's the one I'm looking forward to the most.

In Peace Walker...?

I was talking about the boss battles in PW, not the MG series as a whole.

Ha, maybe today I'll finally have time to play a decent amount of MGS3.

Do it. If you finish it soon I reckon you can beat PW in time for TPP.

So, are all cutscenes limited to 30FPS, or is that rare, too?

he had the word rare underlined in that sentence

30fps is bae anyway

i wish i could marry 30fps

Yeah but the way he wrote it seemed like only the drops were rare, and that the cutscenes were always locked to 30FPS.

Not when the rest of the game is running at 60FPS. It would be too jarring to switch.

Double-buffer v-sync means that it'll lock to 30fps from 60fps if it drops a frame, which isn't very common in TPP. Besides the drops, everything is 60fps.

Double-buffer V-sync is anything that goes into 60fps. So if it drops to 59, it'll lock to 30fps. If it drops from 30 to 29, it'll lock to 20 and so on.

60fps over 30fps any day

Can anyone get on Peace Walker? I need to get trophies or carrying out a trade and playing vs ops with all the rules.

Do you think there's any chance that'll be fixed post-launch?

That's a fucking stupid idea, wtf...

Not at the expense of resolution in single-player, story-driven games.

With the whole Konami/KojiPro shit, I dunno. I'd hope that they patch in triple-buffer post launch.

What does triple-buffer do?

So I just spoiled the twist for myself by reading MGS V threads on /v/. Unfortunate, but I doubt it will ruin my experience since I knew the story of the other MGS games before I played them.

Why would you even go there at all?
