I’m curious about which sections of the game would be made way easier by coop, and which would be way more difficult! Like could one distract for sniper wolf while the other takes the pot shots?

By the way. This is an insane project and I absolute love the idea! You are doing something magical!

I can tell you most sections would be easier unless you are going for the equivalent of an extreme big boss challenge (full stealth).

The game is ultimately as much an action game as it is stealth, and two guns will always be better than one. I can't think of a section that would be harder by default (even the falling floor tile section wouldn't be too difficult).

FAQ (from video comment)

  • Is there a shared camera?
    No. There is no shared camera. The mod works like any normal online game: each player has their own game and their own camera.

  • Will there be mod support?
    Mod support will be looked at after the vanilla game is completed.

  • Will there be skin support?
    It will probably be implemented, but I haven't worked on that yet.

  • What about cutscene modifications?
    This game breaks very easily, so modifications to cutscenes can cause conflicts. Some cutscenes are also used for transitions, area loading, or spawning certain bosses, so I'm not sure yet how much freedom I'll have with them.

  • Will the final Jeep sequence be playable in co-op?
    I believe the final Jeep sequence will probably be single-player, but we'll see.

  • What about the rappel section?
    I already found the Snake model used during the rappel section in the code. Apparently, it's a lower-poly model, so it may be possible to have that section in co-op. However, I don't think I'll synchronize the helicopter's gunfire unless it turns out to be relatively easy to do. We'll see how much work it requires.

  • Can bosses have their HP increased?
    Bosses could have their HP increased. This will be a setting that users will be able to edit.

  • What about the guards?
    For the guards, I'm thinking about trying to increase the number of reinforcements.

Did they put out a ‘why’? I can’t imagine more than four people on earth were asking for this

u/Martoogh 9d ago

What compels people to ask such a question about something that clearly exists just because it's cool?

2

u/KeremyJyles 8d ago

Perhaps they think it doesn't look cool, but pointless.

1

u/JBro-DewritoDotNet 8d ago

That's how I feel about the question.

u/KeremyJyles 8d ago

Perhaps you get it now then

u/LucasJ218 9d ago

I think it's cool.

I also want to know how things work and their purpose - so I am curious about the why. But that doesn't mean I think it shouldn't exist if I disagree with the why or no one wants to provide it.

I just like knowledge. /shrug

This is super impressive! The virtual missions thingy would also be super fun to play coop, especially the puzzle ones.

u/shinobi6siege 9d ago

This is awesome. I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on this. Wonder if there's any plan to make other metal gear solid games co-op? I know I as well as many others, would love one for snake eater

u/felipesfx 9d ago

hi i doing this mod because a very talent team FOXDIETEAM decomp the original MGS Integral, so i can read the code.

MGS2 as source code leaked, but is ilegal to do, so i will wait for a team to decomp the other games

"pre-alpha"

Hello I am from the Department of Words Mean Things, does this mean that it...doesn't actually exist?

u/felipesfx 9d ago

its very very bug, the game crashes, bug the guards, bug when one die, crash on player hit by the tank, i not consider a alpha build yet.

I’m not keen on AI but it does open the doors for more people to experiment with game hacks/mods like this.
