Right, as everyone's hyped up for Ground Zeroes I thought it'd be the right time to get started before interest starts to wear off.

Aiming to start within the next couple of days so suggestions on the start date/time and the pacing of play are encouraged. I'll update the thread when we've got a concensus on starting :)


Where to buy:
PlayStation Store (£7.99)


When:
Tues 4th Sept - Sun 23rd Sept (May change depending on objections)


Players:
NickSCFC
Anung
kommissarboris
Mogster
Bamboo
Joer
Mafro
zXe
Tragic Magic
Wedgie
Ad7
Holpil
Pred
Hound
Venom
bear
CitizenErased


Insertion Method:
We'll launch a one-man SDV. After the SDV gets as close as it can, dispose of it. From there on you'll have to swim.

l'd love to play the original again but my memory of it is the most immersive experience that in my mind redefined videogames and will never be bettered. lt's my all-timer.

There it shall stay.

I don't actually own the original game. I thought I had it on PSN but it seems not.

Fished out the PS1 original earlier this evening. Ready to go.

On a side note, was pleasantly surprised just now to see I could update trophies for MGS4. Knew it was happening but completely forgot!

Awesome. 8-)

I'm game if my PS1 copy works on my PS3. Never played it past the first area before though.

What the hell is wrong with you? At least you have a chance to redeem yourself.

B-but MGS1 takes maybe 6/7 hours to complete, and that's a conservative estimate. Anyway, in.

As I've recently started this but haven't got to far I will say I am IN!

Do we update the thread whenever we make some progress?

No one's really said how long they think this should last for, but I'd suggest just pacing yourself over the next fortnight, take things in and use other people's progress to indicate which stage you should be at.

For tonight I'd just just suggest playing up to the bit where you rescue Baker and fight Ocelot. I'd make a list of checkpoints but with first time players onboard I don't want to give away any spoilers.
