OH MY GOD! how did i miss that screenshot :|
Roy Campbell is too badass for his age :P

Snake's forehead is weird though. Has more aging lines than Roy, so i guess technically Snake is much older than Roy Campbell physically :(

 

[VonGak!]

Well, there goes that purchase then :/

Go play Haze.

 

[Busty]

Every time I see this game it just keeps on looking better.

I haven't played a MGS game since the first one.

But owing to the way this game is going and looking, I don't really see how I have a choice in the matter.

Wow, nice screenshot 0_0

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I would also like a digicam made by Hal Emmerich.

 

[djkimothy]

Let's hope they manage to do a solid 60fps framerate for at least the majority of the game.

I'd rather they lock it at 30 than a shaky 60.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

30min cutscenes are awesome.

I heard we can pause them this time though right? That is the only thing that the cutscenes needed.

It'd be awesome if the story was worth the time spent telling it, and I doubt Kojima has suddenly transformed into a great cinematic director, so meh. But if they can be safely skipped then I guess it's alright.

There's picture of Olga on the wall in the room Sunny is in.

What does it say about Escape from New York?

 

[KZObsessed]

The visuals look AMAZING now, and even tho I dunno if I want to sit through a 30 minute cutscene, it's nice to know they didn't hold back.

My hype for MGS4 is sky-rocketing right now.

the longer the cutscenes the better for me. So far the cutscenes have all been awesome so I want MOAR!

Kojima is a mangod, remember? ;D

There is no vid yet. Only pictures. Hope you can see the pictures. They look good.

Kojima liked the hero of the movie because it wasn't the typical hero from hollywood but more of a dark one, he says it's from there he got his inspiration for snake, a man who isn't just taking orders but acting on his own sometimes

 

[karasu]

tanks!

 

[k79]

Oh Snake ... you brute! :lol

MGS4 will be the most epic game in years

Spoiler

until GOWIII

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Coop? Or would that be to much win for this game!

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Okay, my French is not great but in the interview Kojima says that the actual ending of the series is different that what he had envisioned at first. He changed it because of all the feedback of the team working in the game and stuff, but he actually preferred the original one.

Noooooo doesn't listen to them Kojima. Impose will from above! Director's cut! My god don't ... do what I think they will force you to do.

Is it just me or is the stance Snake seems to be with regards to his knife hand seem abit awkward?

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

I've never played a Metal Gear game, but I'm interested in this. Does this game function as a stand alone game or will I have to have prior knowledge to understand what is going on? It looks like it is self-contained, but it occasionally references other games. Am I wrong?

 

[Wolves Evolve]

I...... just lost a lot of money.

Very wrong. You could of course play it without playing the other games, but the reason the re released all 3 MGS games is because the story is very important to MGS4.

Apparently the game has optional flashbacks that should allow new players to enter into MGS4 with no problems.

 

[Sage00]

What's that about Drebin's discounts? Is there time progression during MGS4?

If a cutscene refers to earlier installments, you can push on a button to trigger a little cutscene which recaps that event. So I dont think you will be entirely lost, but playing the previous installments is still the best way imo.

If you do not play the other games, you will be very very lost.

Is it weird that I'm replaying through the first three games right now but I'll likely still enable all the optional flashbacks just to see how they're presented?

Damn, it's in Spanish...

I wish...

You make Sony proud. And me.

I just played them all. It's worth it.

 

[StuBurns]

It's not an enable type thing, you just hit the X button when it pops up and it'll include the flashback.

But I don't think it's odd, I've played MGS2 probably 12 times and I'll still want to see all the flashbacks.

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

So even the fanbase doesn't know? Because I'm getting very conflicting opinions here. Some people are saying that there's no way I'll be able to follow the game and other people are saying that I should be fine, but I'd be better off by playing or reading up on the first three games. Which is it? :lol

I would hope the latter, because it's kind of stupid to pigeonhole yourself. It's wise to try to open yourself up to the broadest audience out there. I don't have the time to play the games, unfortunately. For one, I'm taking 15 hours of college classes and I work.

So they are recreating the old cut scenes for the game for flashbacks?

It's CQC stance, man.

The flashbacks will give you an idea of what's happening, but if you have the ability to play the previous games then you should because that'll give you a much better grasp on the storyline than some quick flashbacks will. The game isn't coming out for another 2 months so you've got plenty of time.

 

[Leidenfrost]

Could just be showing a quick video of the relevant information.

Then again, I had a theory about why the disc footprint would be around 50GB.

Spoiler

Videos of relevant MGS1,2,3 cutscenes rerendered at 1080p

This game keeps getting more and more awesome with every post.

(Kojima needs to thank gaf for all the awesomeness)

Well its not that you NEED to play them, I think the game can stand on its own (with the flashbacks). But its the smart thing to at least read up on the story thus far, there are enough plot analyses and stuff like that. You can also watch recap videos on Youtube. But you dont really get the MGS experience from them, the the thing why this series is so loved despite its numerous flaws.

 

[bastionwords]

What if crazy jumping bitches in the pictures were Olga clones?

 

[k79]

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

 

[FirewalkR]

That's the event where a certain GAFer played the game to completion and said it's "The Game of the Century™" :-D

Wat?

 

[StuBurns]

Wat?

Is this just a one day event? If the game can be beat in the 4 hours those people got in a day then I am scared.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's three days, 12 hours wouldn't surprise me for a first play through.
