[MattPeters]

Article -

If you are thinking of purchasing MGS4, you really ought to play it in a movie theater.

If only it were easy to do that.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Time to bail the fuck out of GAF.

Non-spoiler:

MGS4 has great graphics, gameplay and music," says Tanaka. "Everything." He's talking about the power of the PS3. How they want to make more great games. Now he's talking about the special Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 console.
The game will go on sale as scheduled and there will be big advertising campaigns and tie-ups.

 

[CharminUltra]

HHHHHHYYYYYYPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[TONX]

Playing MGS4 on a movie screen must look effing amazing.

Kojima:

Kojima has taken the stage, saying that the game is finished. "It was a difficult game to make," he says. "It took a long time to finish." Since the game was the last in the series, the staff had to deal with that challenge. The PS3 hardware and HD game also presented challenges. Also the worldwide release.

"I thought about giving up," says Kojima. "But I had to finish it for the fans."

"Now, there is a casual boom," he says.

He's talking about taking risks, how it's important to take risks. How risks are important for the future of gaming.

"I'm not thinking of a Renaissance," he says, "but I'd like a return to gaming." Kojima has left the stage.

Kaz Hirai has taken the stage, congratulating Konami and Kojima on finishing the game.

Hirai says he ended up playing the game for 2 hours and he didn't even know that much time had passed. "It's one of those games that you can get wrapped up in," says Hirai.

 

[Metroidvania]

"but I'd like a return to gaming." Kojima has left the stage.

I'm reading the article over at Kotaku, there aren't any spoilers.

 

[Kagari]

I'm reading the article over at Kotaku, there aren't any spoilers.

They were describing the opening, I'd say that's a spoiler.

 

[brandonh83]

Yeah this isn't spoilerific... so far.

 

[KGKK]

Good night everybody.

 

[distantmantra]

They were describing the opening, I'd say that's a spoiler.

I guess. It was extremely vague, though.

 

[Metroidvania]

The dude blogging is sloooow.

I wonder if he's gotta keep that bright-screen macbook hidden to not get tossed out.

 

[Turk]

The dude blogging is sloooow.

 

[distantmantra]

"Konami and Sony are taking this worldwide," says Hirai. "We are backing up MGS4's advertising."

 

[bodyofanamerican]

The dude blogging is sloooow.

The shining brilliance of Kojima isn't conducive for being able to see your keyboard.

 

[Rapping Granny]

Is there going to be any videos?

 

[Kagari]

Looks like Sony is fronting the MGS4 advertising bill.

"Konami and Sony are taking this worldwide," says Hirai. "We are backing up MGS4's advertising."

Hirai mentions the special Metal Gear PLAYSTATION 3.

XD beaten

Kojima is playing the game now for 40 minutes... damn.

 

[Vaxadrin]

Having someone else play Metal Gear on a theatre screen is how I wish I experienced the other 3 games.

 

[DCharlie]

If only it were easy to do that.

sofa + projector + screen + 7.1

it's possible, doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg either.

though my eye sight has gone down the shitter after 5 years of it.

 

[DCharlie]

At the end, Kojima better go "Did you rike it?" with a "!" sound effect right after. That would be awesome.
