Drag.
I thought after, "It's time" ...It was over...
I didn't like the real image on cartoon background. (The cockpit)
It drags...
Good graphics.
Reviews for "Metal Gear Solid TPC 1"
Im sorry.
The sound quality sucks, I'm sorry. There are too many gaps between dialogue, where NOTHING HAPPENS, and there is a general graininess over most of the voices, not just the radio voices. There are many garish outlines around the objects, and I'm not talking about the purposeful ones in the name of style. Also, I don't mean to sound racist, but maybe you should commission a few white actors to play the main parts for this one. With all the general flaws in this production, I'm afraid that this is not the answer we are looking for. Do us all a favor and either clean up your act real nicely for the sequels, or DON'T EVEN BOTHER.
DjMinge responds:
Wow check the grilling im getting lol The sound gaps is because either your comp sucks or you've got other animations goin. Dmac did an awsome job and was the only one who offered to do it. Were you looking for this as an answer anyway? Not sure anyone was...
Flash Problems
You wrote a better story than the guys who are #1 and #2, albeit unoriginal in it's design. However, the problem with your flash is mainly on style and sound. You jump from CG to flash and it does not help with the sound.
I don't like your toggle screen in the beginning. It looks convoluted, it's not simple, and difficult to discern. People don't read sideways.
Although you had a good introduction, there was no change that led to the action of the story. It was empty, as a whole bunch of rain drops just ended this movie. I'm left with nothing. Does rain want me to watch more...I doubt it.
Like the top two ranked flashes for the day, you need to critique your own work. Make sure that the story is in complete chapters and the style and sound do not clash. Your intro was very crappy and not well thought of. There's breaking within every 3 seconds as you speak. Practice, heck read off of written texts. You're not robots, and the intro does not have the intention of sounding robotic.
I think you got some work, but you have a good premise and on the right track. Go back to the drawing board and fix those kinks. I wouldn't consider today as a success. The top two had the same exact problems as well.
Hmmm...interesting
I can judge this one of two ways... as it is, or what it COULD have been. I'll give my opinion from both persepectives then...
1. The voices seemed close enough that you could tell who was who, but they seemed a bit off ( I don't know if it's to blame on the actors or the way the voices were recorded, but the voices in "Metal Gear Crisis" and "Metal Gear Solid 3: Crab Battle" seemed much closer ). It just seems funny how the parodies seem to get the voices closer to what they should be.
2. The art itself is nice, and looks good for what it is... but... and I don't want to imply this... however it seems that you purposely made everything look dark as a way of not having to do more woek, or to cover up lack of ability. However, if you honestly did it on purpose then I'll say "great work."
3. The "story" seems... well... weird ( but then again Metal Gear games have ALWAYS seemed weird until you get a chance to explore the story altogether and review it several times ). Maybe I'm letting my judgement be effected by the trailers I've seen of Metal Gear Solid: 4, but I'm honestly not sure where you intend to go with this. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until it's all done.
Overall it seemed very dull and uneventful. I realize this is just an openner but it just wasn't very entertianing other than to perhaps look at your art. Even still, I think you clearly put time into this and deserve credit for the work you've done, so congrats.
Decent
this was a decent flash, but i think you could of done alot better, nice try but i know you can do better
