That new video looks pretty damn swell.

The other one shows the Stun Knife in action I presume? Snake lays the guy down and there's a slight "ffzzzt" sound and the guy's all "uggghhh".

Some people are just a little too sensitive around here. The worst thing about PS3 threads aren't the inevitable trolls; they are in every thread no matter what the topic is. It's the 3 pages of bitter defensiveness that follows that annoys me.

What causes the 3 pages of bitter defensiveness? :lol

FUCK 1080p. Seriously, there is no reason for it.

Lock everything down at 30fps/720p and I'll be perfectly fine.

well, we shall see what kind of neat weapons MGS4 will have.

World-wide sales: MGS2 (7 million) > MGS3 (3.6 million) ... MGS4 (???)
To be honest I don't care how much it sells, because all I know is that I get to play it. Even if MGS4 sells only ten copies, and this is the last game in the series, I will look back upon my years with MG and smile knowing that this is one of the last series that said "fuck you" to market research and took it upon themselves to make a game the way they wanted.

Although the weapon customization sounds awesome, the thing i'm wishing for in MGS4 is better CQC, more badass CQC, hopefully...
 
It should be really interesting to see how the straight stealth gameplay mixes with all of the weapons that can be used.

As much fun as they are to use I always get the most out of MG games by y'know..actually trying to be stealthy. Granted I suck at it(I've never gotten any of the good rankings in MGS1-3) but damn if it isn't entertaining.

Is it possible to even have a shotgun attachment to a gun in present day, or is this just a future vision that makes sense in the MGS world?

I've never seen a rifle/shotgun hybrid before.

Edit your pics, you have the same one repeated like 5X.

They are different pics, it's just the guns that look similiar.

And I bet my ass the 1080p mode in MGS4 will be upscaled.

i dont get it - it will be 30fps/720p for you (unless you have 1080p TV)....

Oh praise the Lord the old ration system is back in.
(Yes I'm doing a hell of a job of keeping up with this game).

I just saw that, wtf. I thought they moved on. :(

Yeah, and overall the game will have made sacrifices for that option of 1080p.

Ditch it. It's completely unnecessary.

Has any game actually reached a native res of 1080p, anyway? (except for a couple of sports games)

CQC is much more advanced to the point that now depending on the weapon you're holding you perform different movies.

wha?

30fps is not acceptable.

60fps or bust.
I'm a framerate whore as well, but to say that 30fps is not acceptable makes you sound like an ignorant person who doesn't know what he's talking about. I think that a SOLID 30fps locked is acceptable whether it'll be @ 720P or 1080P(upscaled). Sure, it would be ideal to have 60fps, but once again a solid locked 30fps is definitely acceptable as well.

Considering what we've seen of the gameplay I really don't think gamers are interested in hiding behind sandbags for five to ten minutes after every little firefight. For the gamers that prefer stealth the ranking system and high amounts of damage for every hit will sway them away from constant ration use.

I'm hoping that there's two different ranking systems, one for stealth and for kicking ass. It's kind of annoying having all these sweet weapons and then having the game say "well sure you can blow everyone up but we'll just tell you you suck at the end."

I especially like the way that soldier hands Snake an item.
"Here you want this?"

I hope those wall and crate textures are temp, they're a bit shoddy looking.

Really nice death anims and ragdolls.

So when's the damn demo :/

Doesn't the knife get in the way when you are using a machine gun?

My brain only started to notice the knife in that pic, while he's holding a machine gun. Doesn't make sense.

Exactly. Metal Gear Solid 3 was 30 frames, and it was fine.

Anyway, this looks super hot. I'll be sure to get a PlayStation 3, before this comes out.

Nothing gets in the way of Snake.

Nothing.
 
Nice weapon images.

Good to see they're going for a larger variety. It'd be awesome if they used a weapon-mod system similar to Crysis, too.

I think it will, actually. I remember seeing a menu system for weapon customization that looked equally extensive.

That was awhile ago.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Ragdoll physics looks awesome!

Game of the forever confirmed!
Don't you just love how, when he head-shots that guy, he just flies back? I mean, a lot of games have done that before. But it's the first time a Metal Gear Solid game has done it.

I like it. A lot. :D
