Bleem!cast for MGS

Hooka · Post by **Hooka** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 2:49 am

Hello,
I was wondering, did the Jap version of the Bleem!cast for MGS ever get released? I was planning on buying MGS Integral and noticed something in the Bleem!cast forum that said there was going to be a seperate Jap version. When I asked Play-asia they said there was only the one version of the Bleem! disc, so is the ability to play integral on DC lost?

Thanks

The Integral bleem! for Dreamcast disc was never released. The only Bleem! for Dreamcast discs that were released were for Gran Turismo 2, Metal Gear Solid (w/o support for Integral and/or the VR missions), and Tekken 3. All other discs that were in development never were released after bleem! closed.

Rand: "There was a last-minute issue with MGS for the Japanese versions, and instead of holding up everyone on the planet any longer, we've decided to go ahead and master MGS for US/Canada/Europe seperately from the Japanese versions. There are a total of 13 versions (five for Japan, three for US/Canada, and five for Europe) -- and a change at this point would require retesting ALL versions completely if we held up the build. The net effect is pretty minimal to the vast majority of people on the planet: Japanese versions of MGS, including Integral, will NOT be compatible with the b!DC MGS pak for US/Canada/Europe -- although the disc WILL run on Japanese machines for people who imported any of the foreign versions. Similarly, the Japanese b!DC MGS pak will NOT be compatible with US/Canada/Europe, although it WILL run on any DC to support people who have purchased the Japanese import version. For obvious reasons, we will NOT be releasing a combined MGS that works with ALL worldwide versions -- after all, how many versions of MGS do *YOU* have? This isn't our first choice (or second... or third...), but it seems to us to be the fairest way of handling an unexpected issue for the greatest number of people out there -- A minority of people outside of Japan have the Japanese-specific version, and the majority of our market isn't in Japan."

For the records, only the Bleem MGS disk for US/Canada/Europe was ever released.

Crap, well now I don't have to order a different Bleem!cast, because it doesn't exist

I was interested as to how MGS with fps mode would look on a vga monitor

Thanks for your help!

you can still use the bleem disc, you would just have to get a US/Canada/Europe Version of MGS and then it would work just fine, besides you can find copies very cheap.

Integral had a FPS mode?

Was this present in Special Missions?

Integral had both game and VR.

It allows first person mode when you complete the main game once.

Does VR Missions allow you to play in first-person once you complete it?
