I dunno, I like the MGS-theme song as much as everyone else - but the song in Snake Eater/GotP was good enough to replace it for me:

In fact, when you fought Ocelot on top of the ship in MGS4 - and they went through all the main themes - you realized how perfectly fitted the current theme is.

[BeEatNU]

I'll be there

[Interfectum]

Nah they need to bring back the old theme. Someone email Kojima and demand it.

[Dragonzord]

Only MGS I really enjoyed was 3, but this and Rising sound awesome.

Do we know if it's going to be released on PC for sure? Just because it's running on one doesn't mean it's coming out on it.

[Sn4ke_911]

Wow, this man is a legend already, he composed the score for Metal Gear Solid Philantrophy!

Oh didn't know that. Listening to it right now. Really good stuff.

Will There Be An End Sounds a bit like "The Best Is Yet To Come".

[zlatko]

Please do another Metal Gear Online with this and give the open world elements! :O

[Jigsaw]

HGW composed the amazing main theme. That's enough contribution in my book.

but this track is not even played in the damn game

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

It's Big Boss, not a fucking clone. Do these game journos know what the hell they're talking about?

[Yoshichan]

but this track is not even played in the damn game

It's played in the intro:

Yeah we cannot risk sullying the good name of MGS with fun gameplay. How could we watch cutscenes about how nanomachines and ghost arms take over people's bodies with a straight face after Snake got to that cutscene trigger by diving out of a jet?

Yeah. Lets just slingshot away when enemies are alerted. We can just jump of the top of the building and open the parachute. Oh wait better still - we can drive and ram into enemies and then jump from one vehicle to the next and shoot. Screw stealth. And all this coming from a guy complaining about stealth in splinter cell games and with a one track notion on what fun gameplay is. Yeah sure.....

Actually, the Guns of the Patriots theme and Snake Eater theme are differenet. Snake Eater's theme uses the old variation of the score in the guitar part, wheres Guns of the Patriots have a new one.

It's not the same thing, even though they do sound alike. :(

Of course they're not exactly identical; that would've been pretty lazy, haha!

[-Amon-]

What an announcement ! Open World Metal Gear for next gen machines !

Kojima delivers as always.

Can't wait.

[omonimo]

Kojima is funny. He's not afraid to produce the most embarassing, cringeworthy "stories" and dialogue out there, but he won't use a piece of music because its not original.

Thanks to God the rest of the videogames is another story...

[Izick]

Must be a typo.

Could be. I just thought it was weird he capitalized "Old" in the tweet. Just a theory.

[Live Free or Die]

Time for some MGS music!

He makes most other game stories seem downright Shakespearian.

[Touch]

I wake up and bam! Open world Metal Gear Solid! Some days are just good days.

[jimi_dini]

I loved 3 but the controls were clunky and 4...well 4 is just non existent to me at this point.

the controls were not clunky. MGS2/3 are just not shooters. Damnit

[Revven]

Open World Metal Gear for next gen machines !

Erm, it's running on current gen specs. But I guess he's also trying to have it on next gen stuff too.

[Derrick01]

I didn't say I wanted all that stuff in the game. I was just responding to claims that it would make it ridiculous when this entire series is ridiculous and cannot be taken seriously.

[Solo]

2 is a very slick controlling game. 3 has a bunch of pace-killing janky "systems".

[meta4]

Then dont play stealth games if its not your thing.

[ezekial45]

I'm very happy to see that this is going to be a sequel to Peace Walker.

This is a metal gear thread, not a Quantic Dream thread.

God damn.

[XANDER CAGE]

he took out his hat and speaks about what transpired in very vague words.

Oh good, so Kojima's still writing!

[ironcreed]

Open world stealth? Interesting, I'll keep an eye on it.

[Solo]

The fuck is "Quantic Dream"

EDIT: oh, David Cage non-games

[whalleywhat]

Then dont play stealth games if its not your thing.

Then don't play Ground Zeroes, because it clearly says you can use a jeep and helicopter to get around. No one said "This should play exactly like JC2," but you're being incredibly close-minded about what constitutes stealth in an open world.

[Endo Punk]

The only franchise I never tire of.

[meta4]

I didn't say I wanted all that stuff in the game. I was just responding to claims that it would make it ridiculous when this entire series is ridiculous and cannot be taken seriously.

Oh I agree that the series is over the top - especially the cutscenes. But it is still a systems driven game. The system still encourages stealth within its over the top storyline. I would rather people asking for stuff like manual camouflage and stamina etc from MGS3 or suggestions which enhances stealth gameplay rather than some basic JC2 over the top gameplay.

[omonimo]

He makes most other game stories seem downright Shakespearian.

Really? Like...? :/ A lot of dialogues could be too much overdramatic or pedantic, but I ever thought MGS as an excellent scripting...

[Derrick01]

I don't think stealth in a massive open world will work. What I think they'll do is limit stealth to the areas you have to be in for missions and then leave you to play around in between.

[Sn4ke_911]

This is a metal gear thread, not a Quantic Dream thread.

and not a James Bond thread.

[shagg_187]

And yet Chaos Theory was a vastly better game than 3 or 4. The cyclops goggles this character has on looks stupid as shit btw. I hope they come off asap in the game. I'll buy this if it plays well but 4 lost me.

Opinionated superiority for one game compared to the rest. Splinter Cell is dead as of now and this is the only game that looks to aim for stealth between the two.

Do agree that Chaos Theory was an awesome stealth game, but not vastly better than MGS3.

[ironcreed]

I don't think stealth in a massive open world will work. What I think they'll do is limit stealth to the areas you have to be in for missions and then leave you to play around in between.

Makes sense that way. At any rate, it certainly sounds promising. I am just hoping there will be more to the open world, with more gameplay and less cut scenes. Guess we shall see.

Who complained about using a jeep. You can use vehicles in many games. That does not mean it has to take elements of JC2. Name one gameplay mechanic from JC2 you would like to see in a stealth game. Its not about me having a close minded opinion of what constitutes stealth. Its about you wanting a completely different genre if you want it to emulate JC2.

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

That feeling when a new MGS game is announced and you feel complete apathy. Thank you, MGS4, you have freed me from the shackles of this franchise.

I was going through old pages of the thread since I just woke up.

Why are you even still in this thread 10 or so pages later if you're completely disinterested?

MGS4 haters are just something else lol.

[Hindle]

I'm thinking it won't be open world like GTA, but play more like a Dishonoured where there are multiple ways through each mission or base.

[Salaadin]

but this track is not even played in the damn game

There are hints of the theme throughout the game and it was used in pretty much every trailer and the intro to the game.

[Derrick01]

Makes sense that way. At any rate, it certainly sounds promising. I am just hoping there will be more to the open world, with more gameplay and less cut scenes. Guess we shall see.

There will have to be. The thing about good open world games is they don't leave a lot of room for bullshit that takes control away. The best open world games are packed with side content and other miscellaneous things to do and usually leave cutscenes to missions that you have to manually activate. If they have a relatively empty world that's not much good outside of story missions then this game will fail. And I do worry about it because I'm not sure Kojima knows how to do these games the right way.

[Chuck Norris]

Let's hope they called it MGS5. We all know odd numbered MGSs are incredible

[Pai Pai Master]

This is GAF in general, people post about games they hate more than anything else.

*swoon*

Seriously, the MGS themes and overall soundtracks are arguably my favourite of all soundtracks (including games, films, etc.).

Definitely hitting up MGS4 after work.

[RedNumberFive]

In honor of this news, I'm going to bust out my old copy of Karaoke Revolution Volume 3, and sing "Snake Eater".

[Yoshichan]

Remember, there's a huge install now so go ahead and do that before anything else :3

If one feels strongly about something they are more likely to comment on it...

:lol That song is on a karaoke game? Amazing.

I just got my new PS3 today (320gb) too :O I feel...I feel like this was destiny.
