Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action VIII - We Are Diamond Dogs!

if you're an MGS fan and you're waiting on the PC version lock yourself in a bunker and don't fucking leave until you can guarantee your trip upstairs to your computer will be safe enough to avoid spoilers

You'll probably need to use Goldwave to open the resulting WAV files, some kind of header info is missing from them...

It will be a good time to stab your backlog before Phantom Pain does come out.

A bit of a predicament for me, thinking about spoilers since i've ended up becoming a mod for a small Metal Gear community. (Well, more for the online side of things, anyway.)

Being a mod during the time you should be going dark must [i]suck[/i].

I live in a shithole so we're going to wait for a few days before we'd get our hands on it.

god damn it, I almost managed with Heavy Rain that time but got spoiled about the killer

Report a post which is full a spoilers so they need to read the spoilers in order to find why it got reported :v:

PS: don't do that, it will get you banned

[LoneWolf_Recon]

[QUOTE=Shugo;47339083]That's what almost everyone I showed it to said. I tweaked the colors a bit and I think I really like it.

I really dig the color schemes across them, red to blue to green.

[WhyNott]

mgs 4 should've been pink

"fuck you rusty, it was worth it"

Well, I think MGS4 should be yellow, but not sure about MGS1 being red. In MGS5 it seems like red might have a strong influence.

[Darth-Veger]

If you just google images with as search term "metal gear solid 2" you will see a lot of blue, do that for 3 you see green, do that for 4 and you get mostly grey/black

[QUOTE=Marden;47347996]Well, I think MGS4 should be yellow, but not sure about MGS1 being red. In MGS5 it seems like red might have a strong influence.[/QUOTE]

They're based on the Japanese 20th Anniversary reprints, where they made MGS1's color scheme red.

The Essential Collection's boxart was partially based on these, but they used different, brown art for MGS3 and added some gray gradients to the white backgrounds, which I don't personally care for. (And they also ripped out the second discs for MGS2 and 3, because $$$. The Essential discs are actually exact reprints of Substance and Subsistence too, so MGS3's title screen still says "disc 1" even though it's missing disc 2...)

MGS1 Integral and Twin Snakes PAL/JP also had red boxart themes.

It fits with the theme of Snake being an old fart, though.
I like it.

[Dick Slamfist]

I'd argue 4 is a very yellow game, Snake's hud is yellow, the opening act and most prominent act is in Afghanistan, the game ends on very strong yellow and orange

Peace Walker should be yellow

[TVC15]

What color would Rising be?

[Yogkog]

Nasty blue

[Pax]

Gunmetal Grey

[Xron]

[QUOTE=tempunary;47349802]Peace Walker should be yellow[/QUOTE]

I always felt peace walker would be orange

[Taggart]

4 would probably be best as a light grey or black, Rising would be electric blue

[Dick Slamfist]

4 should be orange
Peace Walker is a bright yellow, I'd say
Ground Zeroes should be grey
TPP is red

MGS4's special editon was in fact orange

[BananaMed]

My personal opinion is:

MGS1 - gray-blue
MGS2 - teal
MGS3 - green
MGS4 - drab/brown
PW - yellow
GZ - no idea
TPP - red

[Darth-Veger]

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;47349893]What color would Rising be?[/QUOTE]

Orange?

[PaperBurrito]

[QUOTE=darth-veger;47350634]Orange?[/QUOTE]

Blue all the way. Or red.

[Shugo]

I didn't really plan on colorizing any of the covers beyond MGS1. The Shinkawa art for the games after MGS3 don't really seem to follow a color theme aside from Peace Walker, which is mostly yellow-orange.

If anyone is interested in printing the final versions for themselves, I could always do alternate options. As of now this is just a personal project to make my collection look pretty.

[Shugo]

Alright, I've mocked up my two candidates for The Twin Snakes.

The art on the right was actually the cover art for the PAL/JP versions (except black on red instead of red on white), so I'm leaning toward that one. If I go with the left one, I'm going to change my chosen PS1 version to something else. I think the art on the left is actually "for" TTS, but I can't actually find out where it's from.

Oops, I thought that would automerge.

[tempunary]

It doesn't end.

Purple.

[QUOTE=Shugo;47338609]Continuing [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1446196&p=47332071&highlight=#post47332071"]my cover project[/URL], I've moved on to MGS1. This is all the MGS1 art I could find that was high enough resolution to be printable, but I can't quite decide which one I want to go with.

[thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27431030/site materials/mgscovers/MGS1-PS1-fullalt-preview.png[/thumb]

Ideally I would use the art from the 20th Anniversary/Essential cover, but I couldn't find a clean, complete version. Style 1 on the far left is actually what is used on the jewel case for the 20th Aniv version (with the Essential art being on the outer box), but here in this super-tall format it leaves a ton of empty white space. I'm kind of leaning toward style 3, but what do you think?[/QUOTE]
this is what I did
