I'm guessing @prisonermonkeys is too busy playing GZ to post in this thread.
I had my doubts on the longevity of this game, but it seriously keeps sucking me in. I always want to try something different, something new. Sometimes I purposely get caught just to see how long I can last and do the CQC.

No, he was fast asleep on the other side of the world when you posted. And he has to wait another week for the game to be released.I'm guessing @prisonermonkeys is too busy playing GZ to post in this thread.

I get that it's a speed run and nobody will really play the game like that but for it to be that short without any glitches as seen in many speedruns is quite alarming. Not sure you could even do the tanker mission in 2 that quickly.

I stand corrected. But still, that was given away as a free (technically) demo, and then as part of the full game. It seems likely to me that the plan was to do the same with this but for whatever reason, possibly Konami wanting a game of some sort this fiscal year, had GZ released as a standalone game.
Plus the AI are meant to be better in this one. I've obviously not watched the video so as not to see spoilers but I find it a bit worrying they can be navigated past so easily and quickly.

Honestly, I don't mind that Hayter is gone. There's been quite a few times when his delivery hasn't been great - I've noticed he has a bad habit of phrasing questions as statements.

Don't get me wrong; I appreciate what he did for the role. His voice is well suited to the character. But I think it was a mistake to cast him as Naked Snake. Sure, he was Solid's father, but he was also Liquid and Solidus' father, and the three clones had different voices.

I think it got to a point where a series must move on, I agree with Naked Snake, he should not have been David Hayter in peace walker. (Maybe not Snake Eater, I think it worked quite well there)

Maybe GZ and TPP is the right time for change. Kojima has said that he wanted to bring another dimension to the character. Where the script used to read "Kaz, are you alright?", now the script reads "Kaz?", and I don't think Hayter could pull off the rest of it.

I find it ironic that as the game releases world wide, I skipped to 'The Best is Yet to Come' from the MGS soundtrack.
But yes, I agree with @prisonermonkeys. Naked Snake was supposed to transition from youth to old age in GZ to TPP. Having an actor that reflects that is a very smart move.

Oh, what? Since when is the UK not included in 'European' release dates?! Oh well.

I know, I'm referring to:
I just got a text message from my retailer that it is available today ... hope for you the PSN store opens up for it ...
nevermind....you are already playing probably
Because I thought the US got it on the 18th, Europe (including the UK) on the 21st and Australia/NZ came later (it was delayed, right?). I didn't know mainland Europe got it today, kind of annoying since I have a day off today but will be occupied from tomorrow until next Wednesday or so, but I knew the dates and what I was buying when I preordered it a week ago so I can't (and I'm not) complain(ing).

Anyone who has the game on PS3, how's the frame rate on 1080p and 702p, similar to MGS 4 ? Any visible differences ? Does it output DTS 5.1 or just Dolby Digital 5.1 like MGS 4 ? Any mandatory install ?

Judging by the silence, GZ is either really good or not worth talking about. I'm still 23 minutes away from Friday but I'd put money on Sony not unlocking GZ at actual midnight... I'll still try, though.

It's really good,the only gripe I have about it is that it's pretty short, took me 72 minutes first try,yes there's side missions but the story it's self is short.Other than that the gameplay is great,item select is a little different but easy,you can actually make him run now and he's pretty fast for an old guy hahaha,you can mark people now like the spliter cell game which makes it easier to track people but with something like that they decided to remove the on screen radar.CQC is much faster and in general the gameplay is very fluid you can strategically take people out with the map and mark feature with ease.
Another great feature is when you're detected by a guard it goes into slo motion for about 5 secs allowing you to shoot the person before he calls for the alarm,all in all games great but it's gonna take me awhile to get used to his new voice, it's a little off putting for me for some reason,but regardless if David was a good voice actor or not it's just odd not hearing him,he'll always be the true Snake to me.

It doesn't upscale and the frame rate is not so good in cutscenes, but neither bothered me when I was playing. I have no idea about the audio.
I tried it for half an hour last night, the first thing I did was disable reflex mode. The second thing I did was get in a huge firefight but I survived it quite easily. I'm pretty sure a similar fight in a previous Metal Gear without any rations would've killed me, but that was just normal mode.
The surveillance thing works well, I think, though I do kind of wish the markers would disappear after a while. Right now it seems like they remain regardless of how long it's been since you last saw the guy you marked or how far he's traveled.
As for this 'ten minutes' thing, I don't think it's a big deal. The first two enemies I saw were having a conversation, naturally being a Metal Gear game I assumed they'd be dropping some sort of hint so I listened in. I didn't find any others - people don't tend to idly chat while engaged in a bloody firefight with some old guy who's killing your friends - but as with many games, if you want to ignore most of it then of course you'll finish it in a fraction of the time.
Also I'm a big fan of how you can interact with guards now.

, DTS 5.1 is used right now. Sound is great. I just did Rambo style firefight and died after they sent reinforcements
