Another Trailer for Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

Posted Aug 27, 2006 at 05:50PM by Gino D. Listed in: Previews, Videos, Games, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Tags: Konami, NPC

All you Metal Gear junkies must be rearing to get your hands on the upcoming MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. BUT. With all the hype and groove that surrounds MGS4, some of us might have already clouded your night-vision goggles and have forgotten about what's being served as a side-dish: Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops.

Now, the above trailer might seem a bit familiar, but there are new screens and clips shown here and there that you might want to see. You might even find a few pleasant surprises.

MGS: Portable Ops is set to be released soon (fourth quarter of this year) for the PSP, and is said to be the "missing link" in the MGS storyline. Plot aside, this game is bringing something new to the MGS franchise - WiFi gameplay and the "white flag" mode. The first one allows players to recruit a squadron of rare non-player characters (NPCs), and meet certain characters based on the IP address of the wireless hot spot they are connecting to. The "white flag" mode allows players to surrender and live to fight another day as there are no extra lives here. (Well, there are no "extra lives" in the real world anyways...)

So be sure to catch it when the game finally gets released. Meanwhile, enjoy the video.

ocelot is kool and all but im really really looking forward to playing as Gray Fox even more :) and if they cant emulate the fw that mgspo plays on then ill just buy another psp

by M1911A1_Ocelot - 2006-08-27

» i like them both, but...

it would be so cool if we could actually see a fair fight between ocelot and gray fox. instead of ocelot losing an arm and thats it.

by that ain't grey fox (Unregistered) - 2006-08-27

game setting is in the 1970's, he'd be a lil baby then. probably a mentor... etc.

by SoulReaver - 2006-08-27

» yes..

» blah

I hope this runs on a firmware supported by devhook, as I'm really planning to buy it, but don't wanna lose my emulators :(

» Cutscenes

Man, I am not liking that comic book theme those cutscenes are sporting. I liked it when it looked more like a movie.
