#104213 Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Officially Shown Off

Was it just me or did anyone else notice the ripples on that guard's poncho? I hate that there is little information on this game at the moment but hopefully we'll be seeing this on the Wii U. I'm sure it can handle this kind of realism. Did anyone else notice the transition between him crouch-walking and the crawl? FRIGGIN FLAWLESS @_@.
I also don't doubt this being on the Wii U. Kojima takes a liking to Nintendo and their innovative ideas. I already see possibilities in using the Wii U gamepad with Ground Zeroes. I mean imagine using the Wii U game pad to make Big Boss control some kind of remote machine (similar to the mark II or a nikita missile) and directing its route via gamepad. That would be beast. Mind you, this was just a stray thought from a fan of the series. Imagine what a developer can come up with. I CANT WAIT!! ><!!

lol wow, that picture IS pretty funny. I actually am waiting til Naruto AND Bleach both end to read them. The only exception I've made to reading unfinished manga is "Berserk". It is absolutely an amazing story. A bit lengthy as well, about 36 volumes in Japan, 35 here in America and somewhere around 350 chapters or so. I suggest anyone who likes great character development, story plot, romance and violence to read this manga. The anime is a good introduction the manga, so I suggest watching that as well (although it's a bit low budget xD).

No they will be fine what there challenge is attracting hardcore gamers.
I agree with you. Nintendo has never had a problem attracting the casual gamers. On the contrary, the core gamers market has been suffering due to lack of 3rd party support. Sure the 3DS is booming with excellent 3rd party support now, but this wasn't always the case with the Wii. The Wii U, having the capabilities that it has, I think has a better chance at grasping the core gamers market and succeeding where it's predecessor failed. It will be interesting how this all plays out but lets look at what we know about the Wii U and its launch titles so far:
Nintendo Land - A very casual gamer friendly variety of games. Nothing that can be taken too seriously.
New Super Mario Bros. U - Another casual gamer staple. Mario is a timeless plumber.
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition - Bad ass game just got better. This is a great title to attract core gamers.
Ninja Gaiden 3 - Another great slice and dice ninja speedy game made for mature audiences.
There are ofcourse many more titles but this is just a brief example of how launch date software can affect the first impressions of a console. This can usually determine who will be attracted to the new console. The Wii U ofcourse carries it's own great specs that also simply make life easier for the average person. I personally feel this is the big break Nintendo needs to get back their core gamers.

Welcome Dustin!
You made a good choice when you decided on a Wii U over the other consoles. My roots also lie within the old days of the NES. And you teach!That's awesome. I look forward to see you around!

3 Things.
1. Capcom is targeting the C.O.D. big budget, action packed game demographic with Resident Evil. They have said this themselves.
Proof: http://www.joystiq.c...ns-playing-res/ (I can post more of these things coming from Capcom executives if you want me to.)
2. You must not have looked up much gameplay, because Chris's entire campaign is based around having huge action scenes. Even Leon's campaign looks to be action packed at that is supposed to be the horror themed ones. Look up Resident Evil 6 helicopter scene, and then look up C.O.D. Modern Warfare 3 helicopter scene. See any similarities?
3. I hope you are kidding about the whole they have only released 1 action game in the series. There have been multiple titles in the series that are like that. For example Operation Raccoon City, Mercenaries 3D, and Dead aim just to name some.
To me Resident Evil is dead for those reasons. I think that the action games that they have released are well made games, but they don't deserve to wear the Resident Evil name.
Sad...but true. Revelations was a little more horrorESK than your recent RE though. I'm still hyped for RE 6 but idk. Something happened to RE when Chris came back chock full of steroids in 5. Played too much COD i guess xD.
Anyway, Its all about 0,1,2, 3 and Code Veronica. 4 was not bad either. Capcom is trying to be bold. >:[

$350 (U.S.) sounds about right. I really hope they can hit the $299.99 price mark tho. I know that would make ME feel better.
That Wii U game pad looks somewhat expensive. Not to mention the high tech specs of the console itself. I want to believe that it will be $299.99, Max $349.99

I second that. Metroid on the cryengine 3 would be godlike. More than likely though, it'll probably be either a shooter with some amazing looking maps or a hack n slash like DMC, utilizing that engine. I'd love to see some 1st party love that we didn't get on the Wii like F-Zero utilize the cryengine. F-Zero GX was quite the pretty game for a Gamecube title.

I find Nintendo Land an AWESOME idea for software support that comes with the console. It will more than likely have DLC in the future. Nintendo seems to be catching on with the times these days. Also I see no problem with the list of games we have for starters. We get 16 minigames. I'm quite satisfied with that.

Hideo Kojima officially announced that Avi Arad will be producing a Metal Gear Solid movie. I'm not sure if a thread was made about this before. How do you guys feel about this movie adaptation? Do you think they'll make this movie full cgi or live action? A nickle for your thoughts...(cuz a penny is worth squat xD)

this would be awesome if its legit. No source?
Ok, IGN seems to have speculation about the same thing. They're guessing that one of the bundles might include an extra game pad and that's why there's a hike in price. Also the release date November 11th is one week earlier than our previous speculated date November 18th. I honestly cannot wait for this system to be released.

I don't have great advice in making friends, because all my friends found me. If you voice your opinions and stand by them, sure you can be ridiculed but better yet you might even get respected. I read someone said to lay low and observe and that's great advice, just don't be creepy about it. 9 out of 10 times, if you have something to contribute to a discussion, you usually end up benefiting from the experience. See what other kids are into and jump in. Many kids in this situation end up developing friendships that withstand the test of time. Good luck...If you need anything, the forum here has your back friend .

Wii U Hardware
I wish things were that simple, but even so...they hardly matter either way. Nintendo obviously has a genius market strategy that has gotten them this far. They have outlived many other hardware/software developers and its due to the power of their console, their marketing pitches and the audiences they attract. The Wii U is bringing on more 3rd party support to better incorporate the mature audiences.
Some people define those mature audiences as the hardcore gamers. Others believe a core gamer is someone who has submerged themselves in the gaming world for many years and have literally watched the companies grow alongside their childhood. So that begs the question, what really is a core gamer? Can it be both?
I personally have no care for any labels. All I know is that I love Nintendo. Always have, always will and I support their product line and software. Call it what you will =]
