Today, Seb updates you on Electronic Arts being sued for cutting Battlefield 1943 from the Battlefield 3 PS3 bundle, and Hideo Kojima suggesting a Metal Gear Solid 4 sequel.
@ CLOCKWORKIAN get a mind on your own, it's not too expensive, if you can be online, you can buy yourself a mind of your own... ; )
Snaaaaaake..........I need to go too !
so wait the firm is saying that people would pay £45 for BF1943 when you can get it for like £5 i think, i hate EA but i dont see an issue here, BF 1943 isnt that birlliant anyway, its quite good
@ReadySebbyGo I wanted to "thumbs up" your response to x2thac, as it made me "LoL", but I can't. :( So, I'll just "thumbs up" this response as a consolation.
It should be early and free! Early still means we are paying...EA knows how to screw...as usual. Seriously they have become the definition of scumbags in the gaming world.
...Also, couldn't care less about getting BF3 DLC a little earlier than other consoles, if it wasn't for the fact I already got 1943 with BF:BC2 I'de be pretty pissed I didn't get that, its a great game to just throw on every now and then
I'de kill for another MGS. KILL. Even as a producer Hideo will do just fine, and as the series gets more and more batsh!t crazy, I really cant wait. Still can't justify buying the whole series again in HD though, especially as it doesn't even include MGS1. Also, Snake on the toilet gag was brilliant...
I would rather play MW3.
So that's two blatent lies Sony made at E3. Battlefield 3 and Saints Row 3... Both promised exclusive stuff, neither delivered. And Kojima has been saying he'll be hands off since MGS2. He's not once managed it. MGS3 was supposed to be an entirely solo effort by the team with no Kojima, but he still stepped in to shove his influence in.
I will become more interested with the 'Metal Gear Solid' series when the series is more action oriented.
Having Battlefield 1943 with 'Battlefield 3' would be great cause it would likely boost the sales.
Metal gear is were its at iam playing the hd collection right now and going to play mgs4 again this series never gets old.come on rising and mgs5!!!!
Early BF3 DLC>>>Crap43 for Free. Seriously 1943 blows in comparison. I have 1943 and I don't even consider it good nor would I ever play it again after BC2/BF3... Your not missing anything except dated textures and dated gameplay.
@bigruss51 You said "A promise is a promise" so I assumed you played on PS3. I was implying that half the people who are butt hurt over there not being a copy of Battlefield 1943 had no idea that there was even suppose to be a Battlefield 1943 copy in the first place.
Kojima always says he'll be in the sidelines but never resists to direct Metal Gear =D
@Jannradio no, but I'm not a PS3 owner. Are you implying that this is just a swing at BF to damage their rep?
@CLOCKWORKIAN I know Kojima is probably being told by Konami to cook up something new. I felt MGS4 ended well, I don't feel there's any need to make another. Unless the story is THAT good, then I'd think it'd taint the Metal Gear Solid name and give a certain feel of disappointment among the entire series if a naff one was made. I'd be saying to myself, "Why ruin a successful run". Obviously big companies don't give a rats ass if that happens, money is money after all. Like God of War, there is a chance another is coming but I don't see what it can add apart from a mediocre multiplayer experience. Games like COD, BF3 and other major titles will simply deduct from it. It'd be one of those experiences where it's fun for a short while but gets boring rather quickly. I will admit though with Battlefield 3's joke frame rate on the PS3, my patience with that game is running thin. @ReadySebbyGo - Please fix the inbox comments thing. Half the time I click "See it and Respond here" I get a blank page. On BF3 - The other day I noticed that Gamespot said Skyrim had poor performance, yet you didn't add that to the PS3 version of BF3. BF3 is worse, as much as I hate to admit it. Skyrims performance is bug based but for the most part it's smooth and sticks to its 30fps. BF3 on the other hand, spends more time choppin' around at 15-20fps on most maps. Not bug related either. Use your media power to own them please! I want it fixed lol.
Did people really buy battlefield3 based on the promise of getting Battlefield 1943 free? Nice to know thousands of dollars will be spent litigating over hurt feeling from not being able to play an old game.
Sue Steam instead, for letting people have my credit card number
+ MGS can do no wrong in my eyes, i love all of them, especially the twin snakes
good luck with that court case........
Guess I should sue the manufacturer of my car because it doesn't wipe my backside for me whenever I get into it. I have no love for big industry...but ppl have serious entitlement issues these days. I never heard a single peep about EA offering a BF3/BF1943 bundle, so I'd venture the guess that this announcement was made long ago and was not very broadly advertised. IE: the plaintiffs in this case will have no ground to stand on. A waste of the courts time...yet again.
@ReadySebbyGo Don't listen to this idiot Seb, you are doing an awesome job mate! On BF3 being sued, I highly doubt they will succeed as EA did not hide the fact that BF1943 would'nt be shipped with the game some time before the release. Give me a gatling gun and everything will be forgotten...
MGS5?...I think the series has pretty much died out this generation because of the long wait for games of the series
i want the new map pack, but the thing i don't know is that if EA will keep this promise...
EA has damaged the game industry in many ways. A good suing sounds like exactly what they need.
EA is full of s*** they knew they weren't shipping BF1943 when the game went gold yet they were hoping we would forget the only way they could have fixed that would be to offer the dlc for free or at least for a significant discount but even then that leaves people with the LE getting nothing im GLaD they are getting sued i really need to pick up MGS4 if the fifth game is coming i really enjoyed the previous 2 games even though i never played the first one :S
EA should be Sued. Awful Company. This is a Company who was at its peak of the Gaming Industry, and sold their souls for profit by dumbing down their games to the point they're total garbage. Their Sports Games as well. MONEY and competing with Modern Warfail buried them. Fact is BF 43 is probably much BETTER than BF 3 given its solid gameplay and much better Graphics. Total ripoff.
After reading the comments, I think its awesome that everybody responds to MGS5 news, but only one or two people actually care about EA getting sued.
hmm....its just not metal gear without kojima at the wheel v_v and I understood metal gear 4 they practically covered everything I dont see what they could possibly do with the series....kojima dont ruin your legacy, im afraid your team wont be able to deliver, maybe just start up a new type of stealth action game??
Uhhh MGS5? Hey Kojima, how about you actually give us some substantial info and a release window for MGS Rising before you go off talking about MGS5, kay? Thanks.
Well let's see, I was supposed to get a free game, instead I get dlc a week earlier. ONLY a week. If they're taking away a full game, at least give us a month early dlc -.-
Uhhh, new MGS? Interested? Yes, I'm interested. More than interested! HOORAY FOR KOJIMA!!!
Metal Gear series is one of the world's favorite. Hater will thumbs down.
seb where did you get your scientists from? make 4 and am still alive and my brain hasnt melted. Gamespot where do you get your writers? ps MGS 5 awesome!!!
itchyflop This isn't just one map like the free once. This is 4 maps, 1 new game mode, 10 weapons, 3 vehicles, so this is more like Battlefield 2 Special Forces, which you also had to buy. And it's not even expensive. Did Sony get sued of the Killzone 2 CGI crap they pulled? This is no different, long time before release, things change, check the package you buy it, so you know what you get. Also, I guess 99%+ didn't even know of the 1943 that bought the game.
MGS5 please please please!!!!!!!! With Sebs idea as DLC.
lol for me johnny frooze at 1:13 so all that came out was available AAAAAAEEEEEEEE
An ENTIRE minute of Seb outtakes! More of this, please, Gamespot. :)
I can appreciate people are disappointed, but seriously - can we all stop suing each other over things so trivial?? If you're unhappy with the broken promise then don't buy the game. Or take it back. To be honest, you should just be playing Skyrim anyways, so . . . .
@ReadySebbyGo ZING.
@nyran125 nooo its free game that was brilliant on the pc, i had it. We should get it regardless ,it only adds to the experience already. EA shouldn't be allowed to do it and by fobbing us off with early release of new maps, they should be free then don't you agree??? EA will make you buy the 1942 maps now....
@x2thac Oh no you're right! Though one of the prerequisites of the role is being able to spell four-letter words.
seb u suck, I should hv your job...(hv = have) as if u ppl hv a better opinions...
unless it was FREE dLC. lol, fi id give a damn if i got it early. Free then id forgive.
so they should get sued.. hope they get owned for cheating people out of promises.
Lol, at the mgs part
bf 1943 sucks who cares
Good job Seb:) In the world today if you make a promise you then don't keep, expect to get sued!
@akhorahill... and how on earth a dumb like you is playing that epic game. theres a warning at the back of the cd case that says the game is for humans and not for amoebas.... no wonder you could not understand. :(
