PS3 Daily said the other day that Metal Gear Solid 4 was Sony’s answer to Halo 3 and also showed us some new MGS4 gameplay videos, today we ask if Metal Gear Solid 4 will make you buy a Sony Playstation 3?

Having owned a PS3 for some time, I do not need to buy one but when the PS3 gets exclusive games and ones that are as big MGS then you got to think that this will increase sales. The amount of PS3’s sold for gamers getting MGS4 is the real question. This could be a massive increase or just minor.

If you do not own a PS3, will you buy one for MGS4?

As the game has now been released worldwide we will see the results of this new release within the next month or two. MGS4 does look pretty cool and some of the games features do look fun, these include being able to distract enemy soldiers by planting playboy magazines and the different ways Snake can use camouflage. The game is said to have a massive single player game, but with any game these days, it’s the online gameplay that is key to long-term success.

Let us know your thoughts of MGS4 and also check out some gameplay videos on PS3 Daily.

    It did make me buy a PS3, and it is amazing.

    I bought an 80GB bundle for this game. I was specifically waiting on MGS to buy one.

    Multiplayer games will still go to my 360 though, I only plan on using the PS3 for exclusives and Blu-Ray movies.

    DO NOT compare this to Halo 1, 2, or 3. Not even in the same vicinity as Halo. Killzone has the potential to be, but lets be real. MGS is kick ass game, little too reliant “Boss” battles and cut scenes, but very damn good. It’s more of a Splinter Cell game, not a FPS and doesnt try to be. Graphics are crazy good as they should be. Still only bought a PS3 for the BR player. True value of a game lies within the multiplayer experience anyways. You get a game with both, you have a winner.

    @ JBreezy

    Hey JBristle, nice to see that you’re not a fanboy like you stated in response to the other thread we were chatting on. Thought I catch you up a little since you’re obviously unaware of what you truely are. You said..

    “the definition of a fanboy is someone who can’t afford both consoles”

    Well I knew that you were wrong, but rather than just tell you that you were completely wrong I thought it would be appropriate to post the definition which can be read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanboy or as stated below.

    “Fanboy (sometimes spelled fanboi) is a term used to describe an individual who is devoted to a single subject in a fanatical manner, or to a single point of view within that subject, often to the point where it is considered an obsession. Fanboys remain loyal to their particular obsession.”

    In your case, JBristle, your obsession is your 360. You stated your “Multiplayer games will still go to my 360 though, I only plan on using the PS3 for exclusives and Blu-Ray movies”. For gaming, your 360 is your console of choice which is fine…or at least it would be if you didn’t spit fanboyism on every thread you post on. Some how you always feel the need to post something about your 360, regardless if the thread isn’t discussing the 360. You may not be fanatical about the 360, but you’re subtle Fanboyism is still just that: Fanboyism. What does that make you? That’s right, JBristle, you’re a fanboy. You already know my tag line (not a quote, JBristle), so maybe you should heed my advise (that goes to everybody else posting FANBOYISM on this thread too).

    **Stop fanboyism; h@ng yourself**
