See Raiden’s butt like by no means earlier than with this MGS2 third-person mod
On: November 6, 2022
Modder oct0xor has been engaged on a mod so as to add a third-person digicam to Steel Gear Strong 2, and now has lastly launched it in time for the twentieth anniversary of Steel Gear Strong 2: Substance, the 2002 expanded re-release.
When the Steel Gear collection went 3D with Steel Gear Strong, it initially saved an overhead digicam just like the earlier 2D video games. Although additions like first-person aiming mode modernized issues somewhat, it wasn’t till Steel Gear Strong 3’s expanded version, referred to as Subsistence, {that a} full 3D digicam was added. It is this digicam that oct0xor has modded into MGS2, which is why the mod’s referred to as The Substance Of Subsistence (S.O.S.) Mod.
“The code to have a standard third individual digicam was by no means current within the game,” oct0xor writes, “and to be able to implement it, I needed to reverse engineer and rewrite many issues within the game engine.” Apparently there are literally thousands of strains of latest code added by the mod. If you wish to know extra in regards to the difficulty of its creation, take a look at this dev diary video.
To put in the mod, download launch.zip from github and unpack it to the bin folder in your Steel Gear Strong 2 listing, then run solid_mods_loader.exe. You’ll allow and disable the third-person digicam everytime you need as you play.
Sadly, Steel Gear Strong 2 is just not at present accessible on the market on PC. Together with Steel Gear Strong 3 it was delisted by Konami late in 2021 over points relating to the licenced footage in cutscenes, which included information footage of US president John F. Kennedy and the Cuban Missile Disaster. Once in a while of the Steel Gear collection’ thirty fifth anniversary on July 13, Konami defined that it was working to get the video games relisted and mentioned, “We ask on your endurance as preparations are underway to make the quickly eliminated titles accessible once more.” Appropriately sufficient in terms of Steel Gear, they’ve saved us ready.
