I've posted about this before, but I've totally re-done the design and added a whole lot of content. I have more to ad, too. Please give me your opinion and PM me if you're interested in a job, plz. :grin: Thank you for reading.

Aesthetically pleasing, certainly, but I'd say maybe it needs to take advantage of all the space it gets. I'm on a laptop and a fairly large resolution and there's a big empty lonely gap on the right... Just a suggestion, of course, it probably looks fine without it.

It looks very good, now. I hadn't seen much MGS3 development photos before, so I thought they were quite interesting. I wasn't aware of Max or Doc's roles in MGS2, either. I'd seen them in the MGS2 artbook, but I didn't know what they were going to do in the game.
It kind of makes me wonder if the penguin suit was ever set to appear in the game, or if it was just a funny drawing. (It would have been a pretty cool reference to Penguin Adventure if it was in the game).

Very nice site :)
It has a lot of usefull (and compiled) information, which I like a lot.
Oh, and I agree with Rick Deckard, about the layout "problems". I think you should center the whole thing so the "free space" is the same in both sides (left and right of the menu). That will look better, imo.
Good job ^^b

Some of your MGS2 data on Doc, Chinaman, Old Boy, and Solidus is lifted right from the game plan translation...

I don't mind at all if people use the information, but you should at least say where you got it from, don't you think?

I got the images from this forum, but I don't know who it was. I got it translated by a Japanese guy on my MSN, whom has also translated the Making of MGS1 for me. Btw, I need someone capable of adding subtitles to a video, if you can PM me. I credit the help I had from my friend to get the videos, I will credit the game translation scan. I may actually make a credit page, it would be easier than peppering the site in different areas.

Anyway, Osiris PM as I want to talk to you about polishing some of his translations. Some of them are a bit Engrish.

Okay, I apologize. I admit I just assumed. As for the screen captures, do you mean this thread? viewtopic.php?t=990

I was watching the prelim trailer for MGS1... Wow when was that made? Personally I would've rather had the game's graphics and interface look more like that. I wonder why the change?
