I never played Spyro as a kid but I've been playing through the original game recently and it's clear how he became so beloved. Great to see a new entry amidst this year's mad flood of remake announcements.

Did anyone play the Reignited Trilogy? Was it considered a good remake? I know some die hard Crash fans had issues with the N. Sane Trilogy.]]>

Are Nintendo cooked? Seems baffling that a single console generation after Breath of the Wild rethought what a Zelda game could be they're scurrying back to the N64 era with their "new" entry.]]>

I'd actually sort of forgotten that a sequel to Three Houses was being made. Probably the Switch 2 title I'm most excited for right now as I absolutely loved that game. Don't really like the V Tuber-esque moving character portraits in this trailer though I won't lie. But four characters to choose from seems like a substantial upgrade from one character with three (and a bit) different paths.]]>

I am relaunching and bringing it back this year and would like to ask the community for support as I am a one man army rebuilding it. I am looking for the following help below as I am writing and preparing for recording and producing. Our original team is on to bigger and better things in life and I am stoked for that.
  • Voice Acting I am looking for all skill levels but mic quality is important (As I am taking it all more serious than we did in 2006)
  • In-Game Acting on current MGO games that SaveMGO and others have literally saved and made better. (Utilize your in game character as if you're a real actor, I direct you on how to control that character and 'act' in game.
  • Graphic Designer I can do a lot of graphic related stuff but I have limits in both time, skill and experience in a variety of areas and looking for someone that can compliment the other side.
  • Writing This one I am very very anal on and may not actually offer this role but putting it out there in case there's a rare gem of a writer out there that fits my vision.

What is highly important is this is not a paid gig for either of us. I do not expect CpmStudios to get huge or make money. This is for fun, for the community and this is for me. Should it get big I'll ensure it's worth everyone's while. You can save this post/screenshot it for your records as I honor my words. I will also be promoting this forum in our credits and descriptions. I have it set up as a link in our bio as well. I am making a mini-series that leads into a sequel to Camp Panda Ops as well and in order to speed up production, I need some help. 

I look forward to collaborating with fellow MGS fans both new and veterans like me!

The racers we see so far include: Sebulba, Ben Quadinaros, Teemto Pagalese, Dud Bolt, Gasgano and Clegg Holdfast. Waiting (and praying) for my man Aldar Beedo, but Teemto is a 10/10 anyway.

Obviously upcoming too we have Fate of the Old Republic, Eclipse, Jedi 3 and Star Wars Zero Company, which also received a new trailer recently.

Hello, this topic is for the various tournaments around MGF! Here I'll explain how I'm planning on running them and welcome any suggestions for future tournaments, entrants, or changes to the format.

So, the first tournament was a 64 entrant battle of our favorite series specifically. It had to have at least two games in it for it to be included. After this tournament, some changes were made. I tried to be diverse in the gnres included, but sports games did so poorly I think I'm going to remove the FIFAs and Maddens and such. Also, single games were requested, so I scoured the internet and my own gaming history to find popular enough ones to include. Only problem is I kept going, adding both individual games and other series I'd forgotten or omitted and found myself at ~150 entries.  Confused

So here's my thought: 

I took the top 80 of these entries and put them in a "premiere league" of sorts. They'll be included in every tournament, but if they never get any votes, they'll be downgraded to the secondary tier. The way a full tournament will now work is their will be one additional round from the initial 64 entry one from the first tournament for a 128 randmoized brawl. These will be called Grand Tournaments and will be yearly so we don't overdo them. They'll include all 80 premier titles and 48 random secondary titles to spice things up. Maybe you'll discover a new game or series to try from these! Each time we have a touramant winner, that series/game will be retired from future grand tournaments so it doesn't get stale and one of the better performers from the secondary tier will replace it in the Premiere tier.

I'll also be doing probably 2-3 mini-tournaments every year in addition to the main Grand ones. These can have previous winners in them as they're more casual and probably themed. Leaving MGS out of a best stealth game mini tournament would be silly right?

Lastly: here's a list of previous tournaments, the winners, runners up, and what games and series are in which tier. 

Retired Winners:

Unlike the full one from earlier, these mini tournaments will be smaller in scope and won't take as long. Indeed, this one only has eight entries compared to the sixty-four from last time! Still the same rules will apply. Each round will be a week long, ending at 11:59 pm on Saturday. I may do a few of these per year and save the larger one for March specifically. I figured it was time for another as we head into these hotter months.

To kick off my first mini-tournament, I figured we'd take a closer look at the winner from the first tournament: Metal Gear Solid. It's what we're named after and barely beat out Resident Evil to take the crown. So, this tournament will be between the various games in the MGS series to determine our winner. Let's address a few questions or concerns you may have:
  • Ground Zeroes is included in with MGSV: The Phantom Pain if a $20 demo is your favorite.
  • MG1 and MG2: Solid Snake do have fans, but I don't think the 2D titles are anyone's favorite over the 8 in here.
  • Ghost Babel, Snake's Revenge, and the Ac!d series weren't included due to being a bit more obscure and non-canon.
  • Portable Ops was canon at one point and was more accessible than the ones listed above, so it's on.
  • Same with MGR.
  • Yes, I probably could have just taken a note of each member's favorite from their profile, but this is more fun. 
  • Like last time, I randomized each entry and where they go in the bracket.

So without further ado: here's your only bracket! Just need the one this time.

Also, since I'm planning on hosting some of these every so often, I'm going to make a topic in Org Chat explaining how future full and mini tournaments will be conducted, along with records of each. Enjoy!  Smile]]>

My theory is that perhaps the medics transformation and recovery took exactly that long, but big boss had already recovered and planned that once it was the right time he would somehow signal to cypher where the hospital was, but in a way that seemed like they had found it themselves, and plan an escape route for the both of them. He had to stay in order to ensure the medic escaped. Still seems like it raises more questions but interested to see what everyone else thinks.]]>
