I still can't believe this is real, you know Kojgod likes to fuck with us

What do you mean real? It's just an April Fools gag, Although it's bound to be an unlockable.

Unfortunately, there might be a reason: 1080p.

COD4 wasn't even 720p.

COD4 was 600p yeah, and I'd much rather have 600p and 60fps with no slow down them have them bopping around 30 in 1080p.
 
Did anyone notice the cicada ambience before the Gekko's attack? Holy crap, that psychological effect stuff really works. :lol

I agree. I'm just saying that there's been a lot of talk about MGS4 being 1080p, and it wouldn't be surprising to see it at 30fps if they have truly decided to make the game at that resolution.

Obviously, that would suck some major ass.

Yes, I mentioned that in one of my posts, it's utterly amazing 0_o

I agree, COD4's maps are very similar to what we've seen of MGS4's levels.

There is no reason MGS4 couldn't be a buttery smooth 60 just like MGS2 was.

I believe MGS4 uses a more complex shadow model, but they are fairly similar.

Problem was, CoD4 suffered from a decent about of slowdown. MGS4 seems to use motion blur and, as such, probably runs at 30 fps. However, 30 fps with motion blur would be preferred to 60 fps with CoD4-like slowdown. I'd rather they avoid 1080p, but I do hope they use full 720p as the 600p look of CoD4 on consoles was not all that appealing.

Weren't you the guy claiming AC would be the first next gen title and the biggest game of last year? Not trying to call you out or anything; just think it's funny you went from that to this. :lol

AC is awesome but it sure as hell isn't "extremely smooth" :lol

The game is full of tearing and graphical glitches. And the framerate is a mess.

<derail>
Have you tried running it with only 720p checked off in your display settings? Unchecking 1080p/1080i for Uncharted took care of the tearing for me, so maybe it'll work in AC.

No need for them if Konami and Ubisoft make an agreement. I don't think that Ubisoft would be so disgusted to have Metal Gear Solid advertise their game with an unlockable costume :D
Actually if they made this video there's already some form of agreement/courtesy between them.

Totally badass amazing!!

I seriously hope there are an unlockable series of costumes like that in the game.

There is no slowdown on the PS3 version of COD4, none at all, and you can't even make it buckle, I've tried actually. Even at the messiest areas with the cheat on that makes people turn into tires there is no slow down.

There is no reason MGS4 can't be 60fps rock solid. But yeah I think they'll make it 30. Which it would seem some people would actually prefer.

Even on the areas where the 360 version does have slow downs?
 
Absolutely the best April Fool's non-fool thing I've ever seen. I'm definitely putting down money for the special edition this weekend.

I can't really say much about the 360 version, I don't know how much slow down it had but my flat mate has it and I only saw a patch of slow down in the war pig level, but it's not there on the PS3 version no.
 
Yes..I riked it a lot Kojima.

Definitely a cool way to show off some new footage. I figured it would be cutscenes from both games edited together for April Fools. I was fooled.

I need me some MGS4.
 
I guess some have noticed this by now, but the video doesn't seem to show all of the scenes of that part of the game.

For example, notice how Snake ditches his AK at the beginning of the video and goes unarmed for a little while? Well, later on he has a new AK, except that we never see him picking it up. Also, the cut-scene at the end with the Gekko shooting Snake just before he's shown with the Octocamo is the same one we saw at the E3 06 trailer, except that here we don't see the Gekko holding the militiaman's corpse.

Yea, I'll confirm this. I've never... ever had slowdown on COD4. Best shooter of last year, what an amazing game.

Have anyone concluded what this actually is? Are they trading characters between the two games?

I'm gonna say one of the camos in MGS4 is this Altair disguise, just as a nod to another current-gen title containing stealth.

I don't think it's purely an April Fool's thing.

Forget "compete" with, this blows the pants off any other battlefield I've seen created. When the gecko pops out from the building after snake runs down the alleyway it's like OMFG

MGS4 will run at 120fps at 600p.

Whoa, that's good news, that is if your third eye has seen it coming:lol

But to comment on the 1080p thing, a TGS preview said MGO was running at 720p but MGS4 "was doing it's thing in full 1080p" or something like that, but I think they're wrong, I can't see them running differently, it's the same engine.

Maybe it's like Raiden's mask in MGS3, where Naked Snake wears it during the infiltration scene if you choose the "I like MGS2!" option at the beginning of the game. It would be weird if MGS4 asked us if we liked Assassin's, though :lol
 
In the actual game you start dressed as a militia to help you sneak in, this is just the start but instead of militia he's dressed as Altair for a April Fools gag.

I don't get why anyone things it's anything more then that.
