Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

[LiquidEagle]

maybe the sequel to ZOE, or a remake of Snatcher

The mere mention of the possibility of either of those made me so giddy... :-D

Great interview, Kojima's brilliant like no other...

Snatcher would be great, since it never made it to Germany, and now, the controls feel soooo outdated, it is not even funny anymore (I still have my Mega CD though (the frontloader, bitches!!)).

ZoE is not my kind of story. I just don't like mech stuff. The only "mech" game I played was Mechwarrior 3, that came with my Sidewinder FF stick (for flight sims), and that was quite boring (well, US Mech game... the japanese ones are quite different).

Nice little Q & A for readers on IGN with the guy that got to play MGS4 to completion at the Konami bootcamp.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/864/864647p1.html

Keep checking back to this article cause they say they will update with more Q & A later.

[³¹¹]

OG, is that real or a mockup for the USA version?

I really hope that isn't our boxart. That looks horrible.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Ohhhh sheeiiiit that European box art is so fucking awesome. I hope we get something like it.

[dnpmakkah]

Old video but it hyped me up some more. Can't wait.

I have a son in that particular age group, the 13-15 year old age group, and he's been with me watching me create the Metal Gear series. But he has always criticized it: 'Oh, Metal Gear is such a s****y game.'

=-o>:O:realmad:
Grrr.....must...not....beat...Kojima's...boy...

Has anybody listened to the BGM in the Launch timer? (http://www.konami.jp/mgs4/en/timer.html) Man that stuff is great! :-D

I think its real and its the USA version. Although i dooubt it as the box is white, theres no reason for it to be white but who knows. It looks bery legit and i found it off amazon, not by some amazon buyer either, Amazon themselves mustve gotten the pic from Sony or something and they themselves posted it up, removing the old mock ups.

An di dunno 311, looks pretty cool to me, well at least the ps3 box, not the MGS4 box art >_>

[LiquidEagle]

I think it's the MGS4 box art he's concerned with, but I have a really hard time believing KojiPro would pick that as the US box art considering the Euro one is so frickin' badass

Good enough for me! Haha. They could put it in a brown paper bag for all I care.

Why oh why? A CG picture of Snake? You have got to be kidding me. The one thing I hoped Payton would do is get us Shinkawa art.

IGN Hands On:

What resolution does MGS4 run at, and what kind of audio does it support?

Metal Gear Solid 4 has been certified for Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, and the game appeared to run at 720p. 7.1 surround sound has not been confirmed yet, and whether the game will run at 1080p or not is still a closely guarded secret.

How are the visuals? Are there any screen tearing or frame rate drop issues? What about the animation -- did everything seem fluid?

Animation of everything, from Snake to the actions of the PMCs to the evasion of Gekkos and FROG soldiers are incredibly fluid and slick. For the most part, what we've seen ran at a stable 60 frames a second. There were only a few instances in which the framerate dipped for a second or two, but that was typically caused by large onscreen explosions coupled with screen effects (such as dirt being kicked up on the camera lens).

As for visual fidelity, the trailers that have been released for the game are just a brief indication of what the game truly looks like. The title looks much sharper than trailers or screenshots show.


Is the grey-abstract Middle Eastern area the only color scheme we can expect or will the game be more vibrant?

There is definitely a vibrant set of colors based on the environment you find yourself in. Even the Middle Eastern section has much more color than the gray abstract areas seen in images and trailers.


What difficulty have the previews been shown on? What difficulties will be in the final game?

There are four initial difficulty levels available in Metal Gear Solid 4: Liquid Easy, Naked Normal, Solid Normal and Big Boss Hard. Naked Normal was the default difficulty of the game. Preview coverage of the game that has recently hit the Internet from the MGS4 Boot Camp in Nasu were all played on the Solid Normal difficulty setting.

How big do the battles between the PMC and Militia get?

Battles between the PMC and Militia soldiers can range from a few militia men trying to take back an entrenched position to a large battlefield where both sides are calling in reinforcements, sniping enemies out in the open and tossing grenades at rival squads. Because the battlefield will change based on how accurate both sides are, players can go to the same location twice and see completely different field conditions based on how the battle's going at that moment.http://ps3.ign.com/articles/864/864647p1.html

Collectors Edition...


I was bored, I thought I'd make one myself, lol.

[Danji]

Got the PS3 and the DS3..now I just need the sound system and the TV (and play through the series at least once) and I'll be ready...

[LiquidEagle]

That IGN stuff Epix posted was good for general questions about graphics & areas, but they obviously didn't know for sure if it was 720p or 1080p, nor did they know what the sound was running at... I wish they hadn't said anything at all.

Also, with that US Boxart, where is this confirmed at? It has the M-rating but technically it hasn't been rated yet so the boxart should have RP if anything...

[Fredag]

http://pici.se/pictures/LVUuIraVv.png

I can't wait to meet him. Vamp looks evil, and gives me the chills, as bullets don't seem to kill him?
The boss fights in MGS are always amazing, I bet MGS4 will have the best ever.

:)

[LiquidEagle]

I'm pretty sure Raiden will end up taking Vamp down... That's what I think, but I'm sure Otacon wants a piece of him too! :laugh:

Where'd you get that image from?

[Fredag]

The original image was at IGN. Then I worked on it a bit in PS:CS... :)

[LiquidEagle]

Ah, gotcha. I always like looking for your little Fredag tags :-p

[yoshaw]

No offense to Vamp lovers but all I see is rainbow in that pic! Me Not Likes.

[masteratt]

Wow the box arts scream amateur photoshop, especially the US one.
Hell even I could have came up and done those.

Oh well, we know the game is 10/10 but when I got the game, I wanted to stare at the box in awe before I started playing.
Oh well.


I want to kill Vamp with a bullet to the head again, in the exact same place lol
Now that'll be awesome.

[Danji]

Oh well, we know the game is 10/10 but when I got the game, I wanted to stare at the box in awe before I started playing.

Why can't I hear anything???

Oh, click on the menu, then turn BGM On, and it cycles through various MGS4 music, the pieces aren't terribly long but they're all very very good :)

[Bsack]

Man I went into my gamestop for the beta number and the disc you're supposed to get when you preorder, but they said they didnt have any and have yet to receive anything. They have no clue when they are to be released either, so it looks like I'm SOL....

[LiquidEagle]

Was it the manager? I'd try to ask the Assistant or store manager since he/she should be reading e-mails and keeping up on shipments. That would be a shame if you didn't get one...

[³¹¹]

I'm going to call tomorrow. I had to go over to Buffalo to get mine (I live in Canada) and we won't be getting the LE on a nationwide basis.

[Passive]

:laugh: so much hate... what did I do now? I haven't met Kojima in over a year :(

[curryking1]

There is certainly something awkward about the boxart...

I do look at it and see the very 'weak photoshop skills' kind of thing from it...

Yet a bit later I'll start thinking... when I hold that in my hand it might look kind of classy maybe? Classy in an old school, traditional kind of way.

And yet a bit later even I'll reverse it and just not know what to think...

I think at the end, when I have it in my hand, and I look at the back of the case and see all the text on it and some cool screens and general hullabaloo that makes up the back of a case, flip it back over and see the front... I think it'll end up more cool looking than awkward.

But again, from just that picture of the front though I do get the 'looks weird vibe' a bit.

But again, from just that picture of the front though I do get the 'looks weird vibe' a bit.Yep. At first I wasn't that impressed but I've actually grown to like it now. I think once you have the game, play it and finish it you'll be thankful to see Snakes face on the cover. It's very fitting. I do however hope the actually disc cover is the terminator one. That one is very cool too.

Edit: You should shrink your sig or change it because often times your words get cut off. Or it could just be me.

[Passive]

Personally i dont like the Us boxart, it gives me the bad photoshop vibe. when i saw it i actually though it was a fake and someone just made it for fun.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Just got my online code for the MGO beta. Woohoo!

[Danji]

I got the disc yesterday..well, now two days ago. Haven't opened it yet because I already watched my friends. I am good friends with the manager of my local GameStop so I was lucky enough for him to sell me the DS3 as soon as they came in and have him know what is up with the Metal Gear disc.

[Bsack]

I'm mad I wasn't able to get it now. The guy at the counter said they haven't received their shipment of the beta numbers and that special addition disc...

Now that'll be awesome.*Plays violin* Better? lol... Looks fine to me. To each his own. I would've liked something more...artistic. But its not actually bad. Regardless if your average joe could've made it on photoshop or not.

[masteratt]

Well it seems to be the general feedback.

Read a few posts above yours, most people get (especially from the US one) amateur photoshop vibes from it.
Though I mentioned it first!!! :p

Anyway as I said I don't care, it's just going to be LESS....magical than it would have been if it had an awesome box art.

[Epix]

Rike?

I just think that'll be one of those petty things you wont even remember the next day lol. I doubt it'll have any barring on how much you enjoy the game what so ever (or make the experience any less magical lol).

Rike?Play on Kojimas bad english lol.

[masteratt]

I agree julps, no doubt.
But hey better to have a great artbox than a bad one right? :)

[Sephiroth_VII]

Aren't we all getting the CE anyway?

[³¹¹]

I see MGS4 as something from Kojima to the fans. He's making this one the best to go out with a bang so why not at the same time give some boxart that is 'for the fans'.

I do agree that some flashy CG bullshit will probably net a few extra sales in North America but fuck that. This thing is easily going to sell 1 million copies worldwide. Just look at RB62.

I'm getting a copy of each. Since pre-orders in Canada are ridiculous and hardly ever come out the same day I'm just going to walk into Wal-Mart and grab the regular version but reserved the LE elsewhere.

[masteratt]

They should make a spoof game where Hideo Kojima is the main character.

The object of the game should be to make things that happen in various Kojima games as awkward as possible using Kojima himself.

you just added you rike! lol

[LiquidEagle]

Why are we discussing the "US Boxart" as if it's official when no other website is using it??

[solidsnakejej]

I seriously doubt it's official too because I would expect Yoji Shinkawa to be doing his usual artwork for the cover.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

well maybe. The first US cover has consistently been not Shinkawa's art, save MGS2's initial release.

[curryking1]

Ya... I love the Shinkawa art covers...

When we first got it my brother was like 'That's a sick boxart.' I dunno how else to explain this...

MGS2's box was awesome! MGS3 NTSC's was nice too though, although it wasn't Shinkawa's work.

But also to be fair, Metal Gear Solid 1 has a sexy cover and it wasn't Shinkawa's stuff.

I hope they choose something similar to the MGS2 NTSC release though.

Here's something.... of course not real...

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u278/jeremiasbebi/Boxarts-covers/ps3_mgs4gunsofthepatriots.jpg

^Man... when people make mock up box arts... at least put some damn effort into the story material on the back... a five year old could write that crap lol.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Thing is, the write up on the back wouldn't even be that explicit or indicative of the story.

[curryking1]

You know what I meant ;)

:D

[LaLiLuLeLo]

I wasn't criticizing you at all. I was just criticizing promotional text in general on the back of games. It'd just hype a few points about the gameplay, throw in some screenshots, and maybe an excerpt describing the why of the game.

[curryking1]

Wut?!

I didn't think you were criticizing me :P

But ya that's true. It's never story stuff. Not like I could guess the MGS story from the back of the box :P

But...

Joo noes wut I meenz? Right? :)

'The why' is a good way to put it, good call.

What's this guy's name btw? I guess I could easily google it, but I thought it'd be funnier to post his gif again :D

[LaLiLuLeLo]

SKELETOR!!!!!
Duh.

[curryking1]

Lol, I haven't watched He-man in so long. It's been like 10 years since I've watched it.

Did you know they made a new one to bring it back not too long ago? Lol, I'm not sure if it survived :P

[LaLiLuLeLo]

It didn't. It was just as awful as the original if not worse.

[TimmyJ]

Liquid is even more eviler than Skeletor

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Yep. Because he doesn't think he's evil. That's more dangerous than anything.

[LiquidEagle]

Stop talking about me when I'm not in the thread, jerks.

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Don't flatter yourself! In your dreams!

[LiquidEagle]

Yeah, I just wish people talked more shit about me :'(

Anyways, Liquid may be dangerous but he's also pathetic. He let his belief about his genes dominate his life.

[Passive]

Yeah, I just wish people talked more shit about me :'(

lol i would do my general smack talk and dissing...... BUT im not going to give you that satisfaction

[LiquidEagle]

:lol: better to just shank me and get it over with?

[Passive]

^ not a chance. =D

[³¹¹]

Guys, serious question here. I've been trying to figure out an answer.

I was just watching the 15 min Gameplay demo that was done by Kojima and whatnot. And just before the Mk. II cutscene, the narrator (Aki Saito) says that at some points in the game you will have to shake the sixaxis to return OctoCamo to it's default state.

My questions is why? What would require OctoCamo being in it's default state?

[masonite]

My questions is why? What would require OctoCamo being in it's default state?

perhaps some kind of recharging?! Not sure how its supposed to function, but it wouldn't surprise me if you only get limited use. Otherwise itd be too easy.

[Xclusion]

that feature actually might've been removed but it was a quick way to switch out of camo. So say you had a floor pattern set but wanted to switch back to no camo all you would have to do is shake the controller.

[Passive]

I'm siding with Xclusion on this one. you saw him go through the menu to change the camo so you'de think to turn it off you'de have to goto said menu which would get annoying after a while so im guessing the shaking is a quick way to switch it off. and to answer "What would require OctoCamo being in it's default state" i could agree with masonite on the recharge and i could also say running around in the suit looks cool if its all...suity :P but recharge seems logical. Until you think.. hmm okay, senario:

im hiding with the camo on.
shit battery dies.
bollocks im spotted.
hey im dead.
SNAAAAAAAKEEEE!!!


point: useing camo will require skill and timing ^^ hopefully cos that would be cool. and i dont like the idea of an unlimited camo, seems imber to me.

[curryking1]

I'm seeing the camo only working properly (as in your octocamo will still resemble a texture or colour if you didn't take it off, but if you're running around you will be easily spotted) when you are staying still or barely moving.

And it also fails when you're really close to a soldier.

That's pretty much how Snake Eater worked, I'd think the same for MGS4 in terms of camouflage.

About rechargeable camo, could be. I'd like to know :P

I could also see it work like this....

1 - You get amazing camo but no solid eye when you put on the mask
2 - You take off the mask and get slightly weaker camouflage but you can use the solid eye

That's assuming the mask it still in the game. I haven't seen it in so long... it looked so cool!

I got another one!

1 - Camouflage is on when you are moving slowly/not moving and you press the camo button
2 - Once you start moving fast it comes off automatically

[cliffbo]

heyy... my work.
you just added you rike! lol

that's wacest

[Epix]

The latest PSM:

Just read all the MGS4 info in PSM. It's full of story spoilers so I won't type that up here.

But it says the game is a lot closer to MGS2 than 1 or 3 in that it is very plot and cutscene heavy (awesome) dealing with larger, overarching ideas (Patriots) rather then the more personal focus of MGS3. It is also the most serious MGS game to date.

Other than that the article spoils a LOT of the first act so be wary.

Oh, and it also says that the first hour of the game is the most intense he's ever played, filled with amazing cinematography. And some parts (ending?) blows Snake eaters ending out of the water.

[cliffbo]

The latest PSM:

you know i was on the fence about this games but now i might just pick it up

[LiquidEagle]

you know i was on the fence about this games but now i might just pick it up

:lol:

Now that we know the cinematography is good, we can all rest easy and pick this game up. The cutscenes are lit up that well!

Hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt hawt...

MGS2 introduced me to MGS, and I adored it for it's tight focus on so much dialogue and well directed cinematic events. Right now I'm thinking of that scene where you use the Direction Mic to listen in on Olga's conversation with Solidus :D

I are happys :D

You can tell the cinematography totally pwns. And even the transition from video to gameplay or back is just mad fluid.

I wish the camera jostled around a bit like in that AC-MGS spoof video where it goes from cutscene to in-game.

The camera is slowly zooming out and lightly/mildly shaking while Snake is not even moving and no explosions are going on.

It would seem an appropriate ambient effect for during gameplay as well while in a warzone even while no explosions are happening beside you (and then like the game has have large camera shakes when explosions go off near you).

Edit - Hmmm it appears I am referring to the post at the very end of page 305.

Congrats to yoshaw and Epix btw ;)

Info from Edge

The story visits more locations and embraces more styles than any MGS to date.

A 'virtual range' will be included from the main menu. Here you can test the huge amount of weapons in MGS4 as well as the various advanced CQC techniques in the game.

The game will feature various details to play around with such as highly detailed and fashionable consumer gadgets.

There will be one hell of a big bang of a final to the game. Not a whimper. This will blow you away.

Snake is a slave to injections that keep him alive.

The Gekkou (the mechs with organic legs that make mooing sounds) will work in packs to hunt you down. They can sense past your optic camo if they think something is amiss.

You can use a camera to sneak away from your mission objectives and record incidents happening on the battlefield in secret. Some can be 'unpredictable and dangerous' There is something special about the camera this time around but EDGE were not allowed to say what.

There is a "surprising degree of explorative freedom" in the game. You can choose to engage in battles if you wish, or just ignore them. Friends and enemies can be gain this way if you do choose to help one side out.


Productions values transcend modern video games: A Hollywood grade surround sound and moving track score by Harry Gregson Williams. Electrifying cut scenes and a sense of closure "more suited to Return of the King than Halo 3".

There is so much tucked away in the game that some things won't be discovered until months or even years after your first play.

Kojima says: As for future MGS I would love to produce rather than direct. But as far as Snake is concerned, this is it. It's over".

[masteratt]

He gives away the "Snake will die" spoiler in every interview.

But I guess the big surprise is HOW he dies......Unless it's the bit where he puts a gun in his mouth then really we don't have any surprises concerning Snake in MGS4 lol

[Voidler]

Well we've known he only has six months to live since 2006, he was always going to die

[jaxmkii]

Has anybody else watched the Saga Vol. 2 DVD yet? It really sets MGS4 up as the most powerful gaming experience we'll ever have :-D

where is this!? i want to play this game but im afraid i will not get the story as i never played any of the MG games. (i tryed MGS2 on ps2 but i sucked so bad)

[Voidler]

You're afraid you won't get the full story? Sorry to tell you chief, but you WON'T get the full story :) Go play the damn games already

[GTShotoKen]

After watching the MGS4 pre-order dvd...anyone who hasn't at least played MGS2 in its entirety will be either completely lost or losing out on alot of major details. The dvd just barely skimmed over the stories in each title and I'm sure MGS4 itself will only do that much to fill you in.

[masonite]

where is this!? i want to play this game but im afraid i will not get the story as i never played any of the MG games. (i tryed MGS2 on ps2 but i sucked so bad)

MILR? Is that you?

;)


Personally i think each episode survives well enough on its own. I'm sure there'll be a bit of background at the beginning of MGS4 anyway, for those who came in late...And once you get sucked into MGS4,you won't be able to even think about what happened beforehand :)

[LaLiLuLeLo]

where is this!? i want to play this game but im afraid i will not get the story as i never played any of the MG games. (i tryed MGS2 on ps2 but i sucked so bad)

seriously man..just go buy the 30 dollar collector's edition and muscle through it. If you start with the first one, which is the simplest in design, you should be okay. But everyone cuts their teeth on MGS when they're new at it. :thumbl:

NOW GO!!!!

[Passive]

Yeah you most definetly need to play through at least MGS2 to even grasp most of the issues in MGS4. I can say that with certainty because its the last game all questions will be answered and most of those came from MGS2 :P so go play, enjoy the amazing game and dont hesitate to come and ask for help if you get stuck ^^

[Xclusion]

Actually all you need to do is type Metal Gear Solid into Wikipedia... It'll catch you up. I've played and beat all the games and it was a great refresher.

but honestly why read when you can play.

hmm :P i wanna shout at you and call you a moron but i wont.

Wiki hardly even covers any of the MGS games, it does give little plot outlines and such but nowhere near enough depth to explain it all.

[Voidler]

If you go to Wikipedia or Youtube for the first three Metal Gear games instead of playing them, you don't deserve to play MGS4 as far as I'm concerned:duh:

[Passive]

^ 100% agree

[Fredag]

Don't you want Hideo Kojima to get as much money possible for MGS4?

Please tell those suckers that a wiki search is fine, as long as they buy MGS4. That will teach them a lesson and also help fund the next ZOE, lol!
:)

[Passive]

even though you make a valid point, i still think those who play MGS4 at least know what going on. a game such as MGS4 demand that respect.

[LiquidEagle]

Seriously... it's never been easier to get a hold of the MGS games in the US :-D

[Passive]

lol its rather hard here :P both EBs near me dont have a single copy of any of the MGs games XD so everyone is asking me if they can borrow mine =[ to which i say fuck off.

New Metal Gear Solid 4 Screens and European Pack Shot (http://threespeech.com/blog/?p=993)
8 Apr

http://www.threespeech.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/mgs.1.jpg

The European box art for Konami’s up and coming sneak-fest Metal Gear Solid 4 has found its way onto the internet, sporting a similar design to the covers of previous titles by featuring Old Snake in concept sketch style. New details on the game’s cut scenes have also recently been revealed. The game is said to contain cut scenes that last 30+ minutes, all of which are real time. Some cut scene are even interactive, with players being able to alter the camera angle of the scene.

If you haven’t already seen this April fools joke clip of Metal Gear Solid 4 yet then make sure you check it out. This also shows some unseen in game footage of MGS4.

We cant wait for this one.

[frosty]

are those clips from killzone 2 in that video? I haven't played 1 yet so I don't know if it came from that or not. Either way, some impressive stuff in that video.

[Raitei]

well the pack shot definately isnt new and i dont actually see any new screens either on the site.. maybe just me

[masonite]

30+ minute cutscenes.... geez, i hope you can pause it...

[Segitz]

30+ minute cutscenes.... geez, i hope you can pause it...

Yeah, I got spoiled playing PSP... just switch it off and it pauses, no matter where^^ (well, in some games, like FF:CC you can pause anywhere, even in FMVs)

[Epix]

EU am cry:

As many of us may know the Japanese Metal Gear Online Beta premier is upon us, from a tutorial that surfaced on how to go about obtaining a Konami ID as well as a MGO Beta Key code. Due to the accumulative Sign ups from different regions from this tutorial Konami has blocked any IP that does not originate from Japan. From the original source of the article users are claiming getting an "error page" that states "This product code issue page is service for Japan only." This is by all mean no error. Even if you "fake" your IP address by other means, there still the possibility Konami will block all outside IP not from Japan.http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-132566.aspx?CT=1#Comments

[LaLiLuLeLo]

Bawwwww. Well, looks like I still have one legitimate code.

[cliffbo]

No shit, is that Killzone 2 in the video!?

it says 'project Killzone' on that part of the vid, so yes, it is Killzone. don't know how old the build is though

[Epix]

it says 'project Killzone' on that part of the vid, so yes, it is Killzone. don't know how old the build is thoughBut which Killzone?

[cliffbo]

But which Killzone?

i don't think this tech was out when Killzone1 was released, so it has to be either the PSP version or Killzone 2. i'd say by the quality of the vid, it was Killzone 2, but it could have been just a tech demo to demonstrate to Guerilla :shrug:

[Bsack]

^^The bit they had from Killzone was from Killzone: Liberation the PSP game for those of you wondering...

[Segitz]

Bawwwww. Well, looks like I still have one legitimate code.

Well, I got my japanese code, but I dunno, if I will be able to play the beta...

Konami should know better, that Europe wants the Beta too^^

Yup I got the beta code :). Can't wait to play it.

Oh yeah i got the beta code too and I hope we will be able to play in a couple of different maps/game modes.

im just thinking... /off topic

that is one big ass sig you have Bsack... O.o

same, but what happened to the 5 line rule? and the no gifs rule XD?

[Segitz]

Proxies ftw! :hugegrin:

Playing Online thru a non-transparent proxy?? Especially a fast-paced shooter?? No way, Jose!!!

But nevermind, I doubt, they will lock out Europeans, that already have a code.

And, I just preordered MGS4 at Amazon... Tbh, when I thought twice about splashing down 70€ for GTA4, I didn't with MGS4... this shows, how much I want this game :D

But maybe my local stores have better offers, until then, I can cancel it anyways^^

[LiquidEagle]

same, but what happened to the 5 line rule? and the no gifs rule XD?

They saw your crappy-ass sig and figured they can't go any further downhill from there, so anything goes now :-p

I like Bsack's sig... it's interesting ;) I don't like sigs that break the 5 line rule and are obscene, but when done correctly like his I don't mind :)

Segitz, thanks for reminding me that I need to switch my preorder over to the Limited Edition still! :-D

You can bet your damn buttons that I'm buying that too-sexy-for-my-car LE edition. I was wondering whether or not to get the LE, but that sexiness has made my decision for me.

*has also found new and improved Metal Gear avatar

Edit - Those bastards are diabolical! They put the damn artistic cover on the LE to manipulate me... :(:(:(

I am too weak to not fall into this trap... :(

And yes I realized I said I would boycott this thread but I'm slowly weening.

[SleazyBig slim]

Cool, doesn't the special edition have a different one?

[Rockmond]

God...That LE cover is pure sex.

[Raitei]

i like the way the tin opens


also.. i just printed out my exam timetable


the last exam is on june 12th =]
which means i can play the game ... a lot.. as soon as i get it.

[Bsack]

Thanks for the compliments on my sig. I'll take it out if I have to and I didn't realize I was breaking rules...

solidsnakejej officially is the reason why I have to go change my pre order from just the normal package to the LE package. Damn this game!!! +rep btw!

[Kiosko]

Success. 4 more weeks of school 2 go!

[Sephiroth_VII]

Fuck, this is the best cover ever! Ya rly!

So glad I pre-ordered the LE :hugegrin:

[yoshaw]

Box-art is S!CK!!!

I'm gonna be downloading this cover once any of you kind biatches scan it for me. :evillaugh:

[Sephiroth_VII]

I already set it as my desktop wallpaper, so sexy!


...Yes, I realize I just called a drawing of two old men sexy, sue me.

[Jay Gee]

I do not grok your taste. ;)

[Sephiroth_VII]

Good one! :thumbl:

[LiquidEagle]

Oh my Kojima that's fucking amazing!!!

(That's the new phrase... "Oh my God" is sooo pre-Metal Gear)

[masteratt]

Haha, love it.

*will start using it*

[Passive]

that is some damn fine box art ^^ does anyone know if Aus gets the LE? i've had mgs4 pre-oerdered for a while now at EB, i go in there asking about the saga dvd and LE but they said they knew nothing about it and one guy even implied i was making it up so i could get free stuff. but anyway we all know EB sucks big rusty testies. i cant seem to find anything about the LE being released in aus at all. if anyone knows more about the Le release that would be really helpful.

[Sephiroth_VII]

Europe gets the LE, so I think you should too.

[LiquidEagle]

mmm.... MGS4 will never stop kicking ass :laugh:

[curryking1]

^I'm still impressed by so many things from it and it's not even out yet.

Simultaneous world wide launch is one thing off the top of my head. For some reason that just feels like a big 'I love you' to the whole world straight from Kojima Studios.

The other off the top of my head is using a character who has changed so much. I mean how often do we ever see any series with a direct sequel where the main character has significantly changed? Batman, Spiderman, James Bond, all these characters have been the same age forever.

I dunno why I'm so impressed with that aspect, but I am. I love how Kojima used his own experience of aging and is transferring the idea into this game :)

[LiquidEagle]

http://www.konami.jp/mgs4/en/timer.html

I know I already posted this, but have you guys heard the music on the timer?? Just click on Menu and turn BGM on & let it cycle through various snippets of MGS4 music... this stuff is amazing :-D

[cliffbo]

in the EDGE magazine, Kojima has admitted that the final build of MGS is not as good graphically as he wanted... although his standards are pretty high anyway

Holy crap, how did you come by to find this?

I love it. The music has a wonderfully diverse tone. Some parts seem so foreign and ethnic and other parts of the same tune will seem like the orchestral affairs and digitally inspired pieces one would expect from the Metal Gear series...

Damn! Thanks so much.

[cliffbo]

Kojima! Say it right! Chowda!!!

Kojima's way ahead of his time, I think it's as simple as that.

edit. in the mag they also mention that you get to use a popular piece of hardware, but they are not allowed to say what. could there be PSP integration?

[LiquidEagle]

It's been on the teaser site for awhile :-p

But yeah, the music is not only diverse (probably because it contains Nobuko Toda's E3 2006 trailer music & Gregson-Williams' stuff, and maybe even more Norihiko Hibino), but it's all of the highest quality -- this game will truly show why you should buy big bad sound systems :-D

The one that kinda sounds like a Bourne Ultimatum song is probably my favourite...

[³¹¹]

How many characters do you think we have not seen yet? (This doesn't include the BaTB unit).

I hope at least half a dozen. And I don't really think I'm looking for the ones that have appeared in previous MG games. Like NEW characters that nobody has seen except for those 15 reviewers.

It is at that lali! =] very glad that box art is so sexy. i mean it doesnt effect how the game is but its very nice to have something so sexy in ones room. (mustnt repeat that around gf :P)

and i love that clock music! ^^ found out about those aaaagggeesss ago though :P i really hope all those tracks remain in the game. or else im gonna have to hunt them down -.-

EDIT: in light of the new box art i've redone my sig. now im off to hunt down those tracks from the clocks

[LiquidEagle]

I was checking out the huge version of the greatest ("Kojimaly") boxart ever (I swear I wasn't doing anything else...), and I got a thinkin': Is that a REX in the top right? That looks like its rail gun above Liquid Ocelot's head.

You are indeed correct that's REX alright =D

did you not see it in the trailer?

and wow thats a high res of the cover O.O where did you find that very "Kojimaly" picture? =D


EDIT: well spotted btw O.o i was too busy just gawking at it to notice the fine stuff yet lol

[LiquidEagle]

It's on SCEA's flicker, if you click on the picture in the PS Blog post and then look at all sizes, you can see that one :)

I saw the REX in the trailer, I just thought it was interesting that it's on the cover too... I tried looking for a RAY but if there is one it's a lot harder to spot...

PAIN to come with the new Metal Gear PS3 bundle

Upon further viewing of the new Metal Gear PS3 bundle, the list of contents shows another game. The list states that the system will not only come with Metal Gear Solid 4 but also a game voucher for PAIN. Check it out for yourself in the picture.

The gunmetal grey PS3 is supposed to be really super rare or something.

However, it will not be the only Metal Gear Solid 4 hardware bundle released in North America. Sony also revealed today that it will release a "very, very Limited Edition" gunmetal grey PlayStation 3 hardware bundle (system pictured below), though further details on its availability and contents were not revealed. The post mentions a "very special surprise" coming to the PlayStation.Blog on Monday, April 14th, so stay tuned for what may be additional details on the LE bundle (or something else entirely).

http://www.1up.com/media/03/5/2/6/lg/920.JPG

I am going to get one of these bundles, but I want the collectors edition. Maybe i'll get the regular bundle and trade the sealed non LE back in to walmart or something for full price.

[Gummy]

If I wanted an extra PS3, I'd buy the bundle, but the grey one.
but since it's really rare...

[LiquidEagle]

I really want that Gunmetal Grey one...

MGS5 Preorder DVD download finished 30mins ago. In it, saw the TGS07 trailer again and noticed something.

In the TGS 2007 trailer. After the Frogs are killed, one of the members of the group(the tomahawk guy) keeps shooting the dead frog lady. Snake looks at him with disgust/concern/question in his eyes. I reckon, that tomahawk guy is gonna be the dirty fish in the pond. Mark my words now.

*Pats self for solving a key MGS4 plot before its release. Muhahahaha :evillaugh:

All those are broken.

They should all be fixed now.

Apparently this headset is official and will be available when MGS4 launches on June 12th for $59.99.

HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!

Me wants that soooo bad. I'm really glad to have held up on my Bluetooth headset purchase. I'm so getting this one!!

[Nameless]

^I already have a couple of BT headsets and I will buy that!
*I get them free for testing and evaluation from many vendors...* ;)
It would be really cool if they included it with the MGS4, PS3 & DS3 bundle. :shocked:

[³¹¹]

Damn that thing is fine. Hope it comes to market.

[Jay Gee]

They should've included that with the limited edition.

[Matt]

$60? Bit steep isn't it?

[Passive]

well :P looks like im gonna be out more money on june 12th XD

[Raitei]

NOOOOOOOOO

why the dodge ear thingy.. those things hurt

[Matt]

I haven't seen many headsets with a full ear loop thingy, so perhaps this one will be a bit more comfortable than the regular ones?

[³¹¹]

I love the 360 one. It does get a little annoying but by that time my gaming urge has already been satisfied and I turn off the console. Win-fucking-Win.

[Matt]

The 360 one is pretty decent, I never had any complaints with it.

They should've thrown one in with the PS3.

[LiquidEagle]

Wow...

[Goki]

Yoshaw u sick fuck....

The 360 one is pretty decent, I never had any complaints with it.
