Metal Gear Solid 4: Cheats and codes on Sony PS3 already

Metal Gear Solid 4 has not been out that long, and already there is a huge list of cheats. Some of you might hate the idea of cheats and will want to complete the game under their own merit. Well some of you might not be all that great at games like this, so these MGS4 cheats will be very welcome.

However; to be able to use these cheats you need to enter different passwords to unlock the cheats, but to do this you need to complete the game in single player. Once you have completed this mode this will then unlock the Password option in the Extra’s menu. Then all you need to do is enter one of the passwords from the huge list at Cheat Code Central.

Metal gear Solid 4 is set in a battle scarred future, war is more of a business now which is carried out by mercenaries and machines. The visuals in the game are totally stunning and set new boundaries in gameplay. The new control system has been refined, this helps for some of the coolest gameplay ever, you as the player will have to guide an older Snake through this war torn world to help bring the game to a conclusion, and sadly the conclusion to the end of the Metal Gear Solid series.

MGS4 also offers full support for the new rumble DualShock 3 controller, as well as superb 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. What helps to make the game more complete is the addition of online gaming, this comprises of five stages which have been created using Guns of the Patriots technology. Up to 16 players are able to join in a game at any one time.

Xbox 360 Motion Sensitive Controls Like Sony PS3: Is this needed?

The Sony PS3 has had motion sensitive controls from day one and while they are not as good as the Nintendo Wii’s, it’s still something extra. The question would be how much motion sensitive controls is really needed on games consoles like the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, to be honest I never use the tilt feature on my PS3 and would of liked the rumble from day one instead of motion sensitive controls.

One 360 gamer has taken it upon himself to make a MOD for the Xbox 360 which gives his control motion sensitive controls and tilt gameplay, the video below shows how it works but again is this really needed. The short answer is simple; modders do something like this just to prove it can be done not for this innovation to be sold in retail stores.

The video creator said, “The mod uses a two-axis accelerometer that measures the left/right and up/down tilt, which is determined by measuring the force of gravity on the axis. The only part of the left analog stick that works after the modification is the button”. The six axis feature on the PS3 has not helped it in sales as far as I know, so this feature is not needed on the 360 in my opinion, but its still a job well done to the guy who done the mod.

In Summary: It works, the wires are a little exposed but he achieved his goal of giving the 360 a tilt controller.

Hands-on Video: Sony PS3’s Dualshock 3 vs SIXAXIS

This is the new DualShock 3 Sony PS3 controller that will replace the SIXAXIS that had tilt but no vibration, which upset many gamers. Sony said vibration was last-gen but gamers have got their way and its back with DualShock 3.

The video below shows you a detailed look at the differences between the DualShock 3 and SIXAXIS; the rumble is sadly using the same old vibration technology and not anything next-gen.

Watch the video below and let us know what you think, also should Sony have gave us next-gen rumble technology?
