My third interview with CDPR this year is now live on @rpgsite.net. We covered how they went from Cyberpunk 2077 to Witcher 3 on Switch 2, the possibility of a 60fps mode on Switch 2, whether the PS5 Pro version will get added ray tracing features, cross save challenges across generations, and more

The new Metal Gear Solid 4 release ships a lot of engines for one game. The launcher uses Unity, Metal Gear Solid 4 Database uses Unreal, Metal Gear Solid 4 uses it's own custom engine, plus an emulator that runs another engine.

Didn't have code pre-release, but here's MGS4 Master Collection Version on everything for launch day. I'm going to play it on Switch 2 handheld and then PS5 next.

I love seeing @va11halla.bsky.social’s handheld collages. It’s almost overwhelming to see Metal Gear Solid 4 running on everything here after being locked to PS3 for close to two decades. I can’t believe it’s running on Switch 1. Crazy.

I still remember the sheer joy I got from digging holes with Remote Charges and Rocket Launchers. It was also really fun to just dig a hole in Multiplayer and watch people fall in. Geo-Mod was so good. When A Game About Digging A Hole™ sold a million copies, I was not surprised.

This is probably my favorite soundtrack of all time. It’s an eerie and beautiful atmospheric album that was synthesized through the constraints of Microsoft DirectMusic. Previously it was only available on a long out of print double CD with Hitman 2: Silent Assassin’s soundtrack. Give it a listen!

Time to revisit Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. I had to replace the CMOS battery in my PS2 so the system time was correct, so I got to get some repair time in before starting a new game. This is my original copy of the game, on my original PlayStation 2 so this play through will be extra special!
