While Metal Gear Solid 3 is a prequel and would actually be playable by beginners easily it also references a TON of characters and things MGS1 and 2 introduced.
I'm fighting my way through the MGS games right now and they are quite enjoyable.
MGS1 is on PSN if you want the original playstation version.
MGS3 also has some of the best controls for a MGS game and going back to MGS1 and 2 after finishing the third might be problematic for some which is a shame because both 1 and 2 are very nice games.
There's also a better looking version of MGS1 called Twin Snakes that got released for the gamecube. Some bitch about acrobatics in cinematics but those people are silly.
I would actually get the HD collection instead. Looks better, offers many games, costs less and controls better even if you do have a 2nd circle pad for the 3DS.
Also, the game SHOULD work with one circle pad only. You cant run while aiming and the original version of MGS3 had locked cameras, something that was fixed with a rerelease of the game.
On another note: Guild Wars 2 is going into beta test quite soon and will most likely release this june, Tera is launching in may, Phantasy Star Online 2 is going into alpha in one day and Mists of Pandaria should come soon too.
Thats quite something for MMOs after the blunder that SWTOR was.
I actually got to play Tera by getting past japanese captcha, getting a japanese proxy and changing my whole PC into a japanese machine because the japanese people dont want baka gaijins like me in their game.
TOO BAD!
Tera might have the best classes ever seen in a MMO:

Thing about me is that I play my handhelds more than my consoles. I can pretty much guarantee that if I bought the HD Collection instead I would likely not play it for ages (especially since I have numerous 360 and PS3 games on the back burner). Buying this will basically be my introduction to the series, and if I like it then I'll go back and play others. I'm not really fussed about playing them from the beginning and any references that I miss I can look into later.

Well then you should be set. I could imagine that the game would also take some mystery out of the Big Boss, the character that you play as in MGS3 that everybody talks about NONSTOP in the games that come after it. But it should be fine.
MORE NEWS:
Might not interest many but I'm way past the point where I care.
Megaman and Pacman confirmed for StreetfighterXTekken.
Both are exclusive for the PS3 and the Vita and the Vita also gets one japanese cat. Cole from Prototype is also in and so are massive amounts of characters from Streetfighter and Tekken.
Xbox gets the smaller roster of characters AGAIN. Same happened with Mortal Kombat and it makes me wonder why. Megaman and Pacman arent really Sony material.
Here is the Megaman reveal trailer:
http://www.siliconera.com/2012/01/26/me ... -and-vita/
Its not really the Megaman most people expected. Its the horrible US-Boxart Megaman from the 80s.
The game looks fine as hell and its something that I cant wait to get. I already played a beta at gamescon and it was pretty cool.

Um... Okay Capcom. Pacman looks like typical 3D Pacman, and you choose that incarnation of Mega Man to include in the game?
I'd love to know who the marketing genius behind that decision was. It's not nostalgic. It's not "so bad, it's good". It's just plain bad.
Posted on: Fri Jan 27, 2012 2:38 pm
Yoshinori Ono the Streetfighter big guy secretly called Inafune the maker of Megaman a year ago which was about the time Inafune left Capcom and together they worked out this type of Megaman.
Pretty cool that he did that because Capcom actually burned all the bridges when its about Inafune.
I love this design. Looks way better than the original Boxart Megaman.
They already wanted to put him into the cancelled Megaman Universe
So talk about that character isnt new.
I think that he looks and behaves in a hilarious way. His Super combo also looks like the typical Megaman run and gun approach.
We already had Megaman in a fighting game before. It was Marvel Vs Capcom and because capcom couldnt think of a good moveset they made up some very stupid stuff and added his soccer ball move from Megaman 8 which just ended up being a very horrible and unused character.
Pacmans Mokujin suit is also amazing.
I really dont think that its a bad thing and the fans need to learn something about humor.

See, I'm barely a Mega Man fan and even I find that design downright hideous (in a CD-i Link sorta way). I'm sorry, but I do. It just screams "troll!", which in itself is rather funny... but that's as far as it goes. XD
Posted on: Fri Jan 27, 2012 3:30 pm
It is hideous. That's the joke. That's what the -actual- box art Megaman looked like. I think his appearence in this game is just a way of making good on the joke they promised us in Universe before it got shit-canned.
The -real- sad thing is that this is probably the only thing we'll get for Megaman's anniversary this year. Probably even worse that making such a joke out of Megaman in this way is likely a deliberate play on Capcom's part to diminish the franchise purely out of spite. The company is just plain losing it.
That said, I do find this version to be a hilarious addition and is enough to make me pick PS3 over Xbox. That and Cole from inFamous (Not Prototype :p).

Everybody knows that inFamous and Prototype are the same games.
Also there was some actual talk about Megamans 25th anniversary.
I think that there will actually come something.
"The year 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of two iconic franchises, Mega Man and Street Fighter and like any anniversary Capcom is planning to properly mark the occasion. Capcom’s Christian Svensson confirmed as much over on Capcom Unity."
Should be more than just a silly character.
All in all people predicted Megaman disappearing from the scene soon enough with Inafune leaving Capcom. I'm not so sure about that.
Zero is in MVC3 (a character that REALLY fits into fighting games), Megaman now in SFxT, I think we'll see more of the blue bomber.
I would be ok with a MM and MMX collections for PSN for the anniversary as those games were never released over here.
In retrospect I would have loved if they treated Phoenix Wright like that in UMVC. The fanboy tears would be glorious.
But the Megaman fanboy tears will have to be enough for now.
Here an anecdote from a fighting game channel I visit.
<Fumanshu> I love it
<skip> me too
<skip> it's perfect
<skip> all you ever heard from the mega man fankids since mm legends 3 got cancelled
<skip> BAWWW CAPCOM SUX
<skip> WORST COMPANY IN THE INDUSTRY
<skip> IM NEVER BUYING CAPCOM GAMES AGAIN
<skip> WHERE IS MEGA MAN
<skip> WE WANT MEGA MAN
<skip> well guess what fucks
<skip> you got mega man

Trolling is trolling. Some people will get a kick out of it, some won't. Trolling your own fanbase? Hilarious, but not really the smartest business tactic when they're already pissed off at you.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not fussed by this either way, just sharing my two cents. (Although this design is so damn awful that I'd outright avoid using the charrie if I bought the game xD)

If you watch the video, the character actually looks like he'd be one of the most interesting to play as. Maybe not one of the most powerful (though knowing Capcom, their joke characters can really go either way), but certainly different enough to be a lot more interesting than half the Tekken characters anyway.
Maybe Capcom will throw in a skin (or DLC character) for a more traditional Mega Man, but then, the freaky '3D World' Pac-Man is just as disturbing and 'wrong' to me as the Box Art Mega Man is, so I think they're pretty much equally suited bastardisations of what they're meant to represent.
The cats are the weirdest thing really. Since when did Sony have official cat mascots?
Posted on: Sun Jan 29, 2012 4:10 pm
Sonys cat mascots are Japan only afaik and often get cameos in games nobody cares about like Everybodys Golf.
And the 3D Pacman is basically the official Pacman since PSX days.
ANYWAYS!
WiiU news!
First of all Nintendo considers changing the name of the WiiU while also trying to avoid problems that came up with the 3DS launch. They most likely mean the fact that many people thought that the 3DS was just a DS with the 3D option that turned many customers away.
So They might drop the Wii prefix.
Personally I would like the "Nintendo U" or Super Nintendo 2, but thats just me.
MORE WIIU NEWS OH GOD THIS IS SO EXCITING!
http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/3987 ... ealed_.php
Looks like the WiiU will come with its own little barcode scanner type of thing that will enable physical DLC. This is kind of good news because I fear digital only DLC but then again I generally fear DLC because I experienced way too much abusage of that system.
You could basically buy a Pokeman figurine, scan it and get the Peekachew onto you game. Just as an example.
Opinion?
And when will the topic be renamed to "Alex Katie and Fuman talk about vidja general"?

NFC isn't a barcode scanner. It's basically radio wave data transmission. In effect, another technology along the lines of Bluetooth, WiFi, etc - except that NFC is designed to be 'always on', can transmit automatically so long as you're within its short range and can be produced on something as small and thin as a Sim or Credit card.
The point of the controller featuring it is supposedly for compatibility with NFC credit card transactions (and phones with Google Wallet/Paypal too, I guess). Which is awesome and amazingly forward thinking for the company that launched their last console without HD because it was still a developing technology with no clear market.
The fact it basically allows Nintendo to create their own version of Skylanders is gravy on top that I honestly can't see them NOT taking advantage of - especially for Pokemon.
As for the Wii U name, I'd been anticipating such a move since the 3DS began to falter and we learned the major reasons why. The 3DS name was a fairly poor choice, but even poorer was Nintendo's marketing that didn't make it at all clear that it wasn't just a new version of the DS ala the DSi. Considering a lot of people walked away from last E3 with the misunderstanding that the Wii U was just a new controller for the existing Wii Console, it's not surprising that Nintendo feels a rebranding is necessary.
I wouldn't really be surprised to see them moving away from the existing name AND existing design, really. The Wii U console demonstrated last year is far too similar to the Wii, and will only breed confusion. They don't have to go overboard on redesigning it (although if you wanna make it JUST like the Gamecube, I'd be happy!), but a unique look would definitely be a good idea. Tweaking the tablet controller for a slightly new look wouldn't be a terrible idea either, but so long as it's comfortable to hold and play with, I'm frosty either way. I think a whole new name is the best way to go - rather than invoking either the Wii or U parts of it. Variations on either can't really lead anywhere good.
Overall, I think this year's E3 is going to be a slightly humble one for Nintendo to begin with. They know they made a rather large balls up with the 3DS and the Wii U's original reveal, and they've got some big lessons to learn from all that as well as the Wii's own flaws. There's going to have to be a bit of backtracking and damage control for sure - especially if Nintendo wants to use it as the best opportunity to turn their stock woes around.
That said, I can see a strong showing otherwise for them. Nintendo's promised that the Wii U (or whatever) launch will correct the mistakes they made with the 3DS's. They specifically referred to having a strong software library available on day one (which I, personally, would take as meaning at least one Mario and one Pokemon game available for launch) and hopefully will be sensible on pricing too. With all that to come, I can't really imagine that there won't be a strong software showing from Nintendo this year. If they do it right, they're in a good position to have one of their best E3s for a very long time.

Ace Attorney 5 announced. No indication of whether or not it, or the Prof Layton crossover, will ever make it outside of Japan. Or whether Cacpom will deem us worthy to play the second Edgeworth game at some point in the far flung future, for that matter either.
It's great to see that the Ace Attorney series is making big waves, with new games and a movie forthcoming. It's just a bit heartbreaking that there's a huge possibility that none of it will ever leave the All Glorious Nippon for fear of us dirty gaijins defiling it.

This is why I'm actually so glad I paid out the extra cash for Playstation Plus when I got my PS3:
I've already enjoyed a cheaper set of Jurassic Park games, the entire Back to the Future series for free, Tomb Raider Underworld for free and a fair few discounts (even cheaper Final Fantasy sale games!).
In just the two months I've had the PS3, I've gotten more out of my much cheaper Playstation Plus subscription than my Xbox Live Gold subscription ever did for me. I have to say that I was initially sceptical of Sony's move with PS Plus - a desperate scramble to monetise a service that MS had already made a fortune from - but so far I've found it to be great value for money.
I wish Microsoft and Nintendo would adopt a similar reward system for people tied into giving them regular payments. Microsoft's attempt to value Gold based solely on being able to listen to whiny 13 year old Yanks curse at you through a shit-quality microphone just really doesn't hold water in comparison.
From 1st February:
The Simpsons Arcade - 100 per cent off (you save £7.99/€9.99)
Final Fantasy V (PSone Classic) - 100 per cent off (you save £7.99/€9.99)
Hungry Giraffe (minis) - 100 per cent off (you save £2.49/€2.99)
Farm Frenzy (minis) - 100 per cent off (you save £2.49/€2.99)
Sonic Adventure - 50 per cent off (you save £3.15/€4.00)
Sonic Adventure DX Upgrade - 100 per cent off (you save £3.19/€3.99)
Rayman: Origins - 50 per cent off until 08/02/12 (you save £24.00/€30.00)
Second chance offer:
Sega Megadrive Classics: Sonic the Hedgehog - 100 per cent off; Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - 100 per cent off; Golden Axe - 100 per cent off; Streets of Rage 2 - 100 per cent off; Altered Beast - 100 per cent off; Comix Zone - 100 per cent off (you save £24.00/€30.00)
Jellybeans Dynamic Theme - 100 per cent off (you save £1.59/€1.99)
Skulls Dynamic Theme - 100 per cent off (you save £1.59/€1.99)
Rayman: Origins Globox Toe-Grab Avatar - 100 per cent off (you save £1.20/€1.50)
Rayman: Origins Darktoon Avatar - 100 per cent off (you save £1.20/€1.50)
Rayman: Origins Baby Dragon Avatar - 100 per cent off (you save £1.20/€1.50)
Still to come later this month:
Far Cry 2 - 100 per cent off from 14th to 22nd February (you save £15.99/€19.99)
Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment - 75 per cent off (you save £7.50/€9.75)
House of the Dead 3 (Move) - 30 per cent off for two weeks (you save £1.45/€1.79)
Splinter Cell, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - 50 per cent off for one week (you save £12.00/€15.00)

Huh. That's a pretty nice list of deals. I do admit that I enjoyed my free Playstation Plus subscription while I had it, but since I'm already paying for XBL I didn't want to shovel out cash for PS+ as well. I wonder what North America's discounter/freebie line-up looks like..
Btw - I looked into the Final Fantasy PSN offer. Just as I'd suspected it was Europe PSN only. I'm crossing my fingers that we'll receive a similar deal at some point because it'd be nice getting FF7, 8, and 9 for $5 instead of $10.

Even if the offered games were worse than what we got it would still be miles ahead of xbox live which adds nothing at all.
Personally I'm not using PSN+ because I just dont buy DD content and the few things I actually buy off PSN never really get a discount.
The rental aspect doesnt interest me too much and the money would go to waste.
But its a cool option. Getting things for money is something that works I heard somewhere.
I'm also in dire need of a job.
Also, not sure if I've linked it here before, but Ego Raptor made a new series called Sequelitis which is in my opinion superior to the Awesome series in any kind of way.
He compares games to their sequels and goes into game design.
Its very interesting.
