So I guess the player didn't push O in that case.
God, I want this game. It looks fantastic.
You're right about all Metal Gear games having a certain hue to them. I think that MGS4 with all of it's different areas will likely have different hues for different locations.

MGS games are heavily story driven games. MGS4 is a direct sequel to MGS2 and that game had more than a dozen twists and open endings. The main TAGline is "All the mysteries from the MGS games will be revealed in MGS4" so you can guess how important the story is going to be. If you don't want to play the games you can always either A) Youtube videos or B) read up on the story. Also the flashback feature will be quite limited in my opinion, it will only "recap", you're bound to miss a lot of important story related stuff.

That actual video yes but that cutscene was shown long ago when sites got to play the demo at E3/TGS where ever it was. One of the sites took video of all the cutscenes, that was one of them, with sound.
k79 said:I always assumed that those were more for people who already played previous mgs games, you know, to refreshen their memories.
For people who never played previous games those flashbacks would be too much of a WTF moment.
At least that's how i see it. I could be wrong
That is true, if I remember currectly, Ryan Payton said something similar in one of his podcasts. Also you'll need to keep the X button pressed in order to see the flashback, this could get tiring after a while.

This is Next Gen...
The PS3 is such a beast. Initially I wasn't too impressed with MGS4 graphically, but as more time passes I'm coming to really appreciate how well done it all appears to be.

I can't say I get into movie characters enough to get emotional about them,but I think I'll shed a tear as I watch Snake age
and kill himself
I nearly cracked watching the little youtube clip of Meryl's reaction to Snake's aging.

I wonder if that was purposely FFWD, because it was way to fast for anyone to grab and wouldn't be helpful for a newbie to the series.
I think everyone should have played or at least watch the full story versions of these games (available on youtube - look for this author called alexfung23) before they go on to MGS4.
...and HOLY SHIT at the Colonel/snake pic.

Yes, clearly Meryl died in MGS1, depsite being alive in MGS4. Clearly.
protip: Snake escaping with Meryl does not condemn Otacton to death, as Shadow Moses was ultimately NOT bombed. AND, there's a short exchange between Snake and Otacon in the Tanker chapter that hints that Meryl is very much alive.

old roy and snake pic look awesome
anyway, when I first see old snake, I have my worry how marketable this game going to be. I know the fans will buy it no matter what, but I'm not sure if gamers outside the fan base will want to play as an old guy.
we usually got bad ass young character as the hero, or some war hardened vet but even that they're still around 30-40 years old tops. old snake looks like he can be your grandfather and although we all know how bad ass snake is from his other games. old snake is not exactly the ideal choice to attract new comer imo.
seeing the hype and buzz around the game though, it seems a lot of people still got interested into the game. I remember when I heard some random guy see mgs4 gameplay demo being player on loop at a gamestore, he's very interested with the game and asking the store staff what game it is etc

That explains where Snake's AK-102 came from.
...But just what the christwagons is up with those sneakers?

The series has stood the test of time quite well. I just recently played through all of them (MGS2 and 3 for the first time). MGS might look a little archaic with its PS1-era visuals, but it was well-designed and controls well. The story is still excellent (for a video game, anyways). MGS2 and 3, being PS2 games, hold up just fine, and are both amazing games. You might want to call around for the Essential collection, if I heard right, supplies were limited.
