Metal Gear Solid 4 is now fully playable, from start to finish, on the PC via custom RPCS3 build
- Thread starter Poetic Injustice
- Start date
Awesome, arguably the most unique action game there is, and Konami refuses to move it anywhere. Happy to see it's accessible on modern hardware.
Awesome, I was waiting for this to marathon through the series again. Not quite in time for Destra but I'll take it regardless.
I know RPCS3 used to have a bug in MGS4 where it was technically "playable" and completeable but it would crash randomly after running for more than 10-15 minutes, I guess this is what that fixed?

probably wouldn't bother tbh but if you have time free you can always play around and try
Probably not since Demon's Souls can't connect to the private server from the emulator yet.
Hopefully that functionality is being worked on though, it would be great
My 4790k gives me 30-40 fps most of the time, stuttering from compiling SPU cache is pretty bad though but that's not CPU specific.
So just try it.
Based on the footage I've seen, it's playable in the sense that you can do it, not in the sense you'll get console performance consistently without multiple crashes.
Give it another two months, and custom build or no, it'll probably be good.

I actually own MGS4 (unless I've lost it) but have never really played it (beyond the first couple hours) and no longer own a PS3.
I've always heard the game is a mess narratively, but is the gameplay on par with the rest of the MGS series? ie, mechanics, set pieces (infiltrating bases), etc?
Sorry, not trying to derail...

In the first few acts, yes. But it's more focused on story than stealth gameplay in the later acts.

Thanks. And what if I skip the long cutscenes..... or is a lot of the gameplay just boss fights and different types of gameplay (eg, fixed vehicle segments) in later acts?
If you skip all the cutscenes, you might have like 3 hours of gameplay. Acts 1, 2 and 4 are the ones with most game time, but it's not that much. Act 3 and 5 are really really short outside of the story stuff.
lol no, in the whole game. Maybe 4.
MGS4, outside the cutscenes, is a very short game. Well, most MGS if you skip the cutscenes can be beaten in like 2 hours or so.
3-4 hours of gameplay if I'm playing it for the first time.... I can't imagine it's that little, but I take your point.
No he is right but you could take a bit longer if you look at everything or try lots of things.
Like I said before, this gives a great hope for PS5 fully emulated games.
The bugs in this version are creepy though, the Beauty and the beast bosses look like covered in lava. :p

Maybe I'll finally finish it. My disc had a teensy tiny knick on it and it would always crash right at a point near then end when a boat was about to run over Raiden or something like that.
Oh cool. I have both a disc of this and a PS3, but I guess I'm kinda tempted to play it on my PC now. Neat.
PS3 emulation is the main reason why I want to upgrade my PC right now (can't afford it though), I still have a PS3 and MGS4, Demon's Souls, etc but playing them at 60fps at high resolutions would be awesome. Oh, Resistance 3 must look so good...
I don't like it as much as the other MGS gameplay wise, but it has some cool moments for sure. Ignore the people that are saying it only has 3 or 4h of gameplay, it's obviously much more than that for a first playthrough.
Game has more than 8h of cutscenes.
