Seperate ID for MGS Online -PS3, wtf....

"Unified account and access"? Isn't that what the PSN name is for? To recap: Your PSN name doesn't mean jacksnot in MGO. You must sign up for two other IDs — one gives you access to "various Konami products and services" and the other is your "GAME ID." Didn't think it was possible to make something sillier than Wii Friend Codes, but Konami has done just that. Congrats, Konami! Somewhere Microsoft execs are smiling and nodding." writes Kotaku.com

yuck

Although it will be in its beta stage, I have a feeling Konami will keep it the same since they'll be reaping the rewards from MGS4. This is why the PSN fails for not being able to unified every game, it's up to these individual devs to support their online gaming.

Hey Konami, I know Metal Gear Online doesn't take up 50gigs of blu ray disc space, so if you want to have a real online gaming service, you know where to port it to. Jump in.

thats what you get with a none unified and controlled system like xbox live, the developer is actually encouraged to do whatever the hell they want, including using seperate id's.

Like it's a big deal to go sign up on a website. :roll:

You've got to be kidding me.

Im sure it will still use psn ids for freinds list and stuff

but it is a bit of a stange thing to do since ever online game on ps3 has been using PSN ids even other Konami games like pro evo

:lol: and cow's raged on sheep for having FC

I have a feeling it'll be in the final version. I think Konami will do this for all their online games from now on, even maybe on the 360 for games like PES. Honestly, if it's only for the beta, ok. Seriously, Sony, don't let them do this for the final version. Stupid bull **** I like my PSN the way it is, not with a Konami ID. WTF is a Konami ID anyway. They give you that + a "Game ID". Way to go Konami.Albanian_Killa

They can't on XBL. Not allowed. ;)

It's annoying.

I don't see why this matters?

PC online isn't unified, but it's the best online.

Yeah, he can jump in and put his game on 10 discs on 360. Thats the only way its going to fit.

Metal Gear Online is also a downloadable game, so a downloadable game can take up 10 discs, hmmm ok sure. :roll:

Anyway I'm just glad you can make these Konami IDs the same as your PSN IDs.

quit whining!!

Doubt it. Konami are jerks when it comes to online, then again they did create PES and that had awesome online.

I thought it was a great move from sony to let devs of there own game run there online the way they want it to. Its better then forcing them to do something, makes the devs more happy and feel free to do things the way they want to for example mods being able to that with UT3.

It has it's ups, and it's downs. Such as this.

It's just for Beta.. Also I"m just happy to be a part of it not a big deal at all.

It might be for the final game as well, hopefully the fan complaints get to them.

Anyone know the email for Konami?

lol If Konami does this they are shooting themselves in the foot. I didnt really enjoy MGS3's online multiplayer, so I dont know what to expect from this... but looks like already they're going the wrong way about it.

I love the MGS campaigns, but this is just stupid on their part. Hopefully in the final version they'll leave it to PSN tags only.

Totally agree, I mean I could give a crap if u have to sign in twice, to me if we get to play the legendary Kojimas game online in the beta before the game comes out, it is something I will never forget since this is one of the most anticipated titles for 2008, im just happy to be able to join in on the fun and see how the mgo turns out. :)

Still better than that twelve digit nonsense. At least you can say..hey my username is breadordecide. Instead of here's my ten digit code that no one can memorize. 103758493855.

lol thats wat i was thinking. I could understand people being up in arms about the DMC4 install times but are u guys seriously complaing about signing up on a website? If you are playing MGO online, you must have decent internet thus signing up on a stupid website should take more than 1 minute.

Considering some people bought a GAME to get into the Halo 3 beta.

Signing up to a website isn't too much to ask for MGO. Heck I'd sign up to ten websites to play the beta.

This is just for the beta, so stop crying. This is Sony's biggest exclusive and you think they won't have some say in the online integration? I can guarantee that MGO will use PSN once it's released in June.Jack_Bauer07

if sony were publishing it..they would have a say in how things will be done.

but they don't

I'm sure they can ask Konami to smoothen it up. Anyway, this wasn't required with PES 08 so I doubt it'll be in the final version. Hopefully.

Your posts are not funny nor informative. Please stop, you only embarassing yourself. Anways, this should not be a big deal since this is the beta. Wait till the final version to whine about something so trivial.

Anyone comparing this to wii friends codes has never had to use them.

If Kojima wanted a vile of my blood to play MGO I'd give it to him.

It's annoying.

About as annoying as changing discs?

If you're looking for something to whine about this is about as stupid as it gets, just like Cows saying how Blu-ray helps with the discomfort of changing multiple discs........that is a pretty dumb excuse to validate Blu-ray. It's equally dumb to get all worked up over having to sign up on a website to play an online game.

The question would be, why!? Why would Konami do this? I doubt they want to feel special so it must be a technical problem that won't let them use the normal PSN name.Supafly1

Maybe they want more control over what goes on......or maybe they just want to sell your information to marketing businesses lol.

Xbox Live really is that good.
