The insanely pretty and ambitious Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops is finally coming out soon. December 5th, to be exact. Gamespot seems to have a near-complete version in their hands, and they have a very detailed video preview, featuring tons of new never-before-seen footage of the game in motion.

They seem to have nothing but praise for this fully loaded sequel. From the graphics, to the gameplay, to the storyline and presentation-- it appears that Konami has taken no shortcuts for this game. I could say more, but I'd rather let the video do the talking.

From Jeanne D'Arc-topic

This WILL be my next game to buy if it gets a us release.

No, this WILL be the next game to buy.

[NovaKane]

Yeah, this will be a must buy game for the PSP.

What firmware will this game be?

[ssnake]

I don't know, and I don't care.
This game is worth upgrading that's all.

[Hiei311]

Oooooooooooooohhhhh yeah this will make me up date from 2.8 2 w/e i want to get the game "writes it down along side ps3" yeaaaaaaa! xmas is gonna rock with ps3 and wii and now metal gear for psp FINALY!

[ssnake]

I'm already with the 3.0 firmware, it'll be a pleasur to update to 3.01 to play MPO if needed...

yeah it rocks, i'll own this game december 5 it's certain

I don't think this game will require anything higher than 2.81 firmware if it is being released on December 5th. And for that reason, there is a good chance it will work on a 1.50 PSP with DevHook. My main concern is the game having issues similar to Thrillville, Yu-Gi-Oh, & Star Trek Tactical Assault. But even with those games there are ways to fix it to work with DevHook.

Even if it would require an update, I'll never update.

But I have 3 very important words to say about this game:

I WANT THIS!

I wouldn't be too sure about that... Remember GTA:VCS? How that required 2.81 two weeks after the update was released? (IIRC)

Wouldn't surprise me if MGS:PO required 3.0.

As much as I want this game, I am not updating; not unless I get a new PSP (the PO PSPs look damn cool).

yea F9z only some one that would be wiling to give up homebrew for a wile would do some thing like this or some one that has two or more psp

You make a good point. But what the past few days have shown us is that SONY has rushed in releasing 3.00 which means they probably did not have 3.00 firmware files ready to go for game developers to implement in the development of games.

SO like I said, my bet is on MGS: PO requiring 2.81 but possibly having a built in 2.82 or 3.00 udpate. But again, like with newer games, there may be a higher firmware update included but the game will play on 2.71.

I'm hoping that my theory is correct. We will see in a couple weeks.
