The first gameplay footage of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots running as part of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 has appeared online following a recent livestream from a Japanese YouTuber.

Clips from the broadcast quickly began circulating online, giving fans an early look at the long-awaited modern release of the 2008 stealth-action title. It appears that the in-game iPod feature is still included in this version of the game, despite questions surrounding licensed content and legacy features in older Metal Gear releases.

- "Back to main menu" option has been added to the settings like they did for MGS2/3 in Vol. 1
- Save loading screen has been redone in a style like the the menus/ui the game has
- Loading screen now shows a "loading circle" instead of the "now loading" text
- Hideblog url has been removed from the cardboardbox in one of the beginning cutscenes since that website doesn't exist anymore
- iPod is back and included
- L1 and R1 for aiming and shooting are replaced with L2 and R2 which makes sense since that replaces the context sensitivity buttons on PS3 with the adaptive triggers on PS5. Also controller buttob mapping should be included like in MC Vol. 1
- They seem to have recorded new voice lines for mentioning the now changed controller buttons

Run at smooth 60fps, loading times are fast and it has higher resolution

Game of the Generation for sure. Single handedly put the PS3 back on the race and carried it forward (with a bit of help from Uncharted 2 haha)

The start is the hardest part, then the game introduces the robot and sniper rifles.

That intro theme music...........

Insane take.

 

[Soltype]

Insane take.

Definitely insane, game was so disappointing.To be fair 2/3 are hard acts to follow.

Was my first MGS game and the only one I finished. Made me buy a PS3.

 

[Bry0]

Genuinely surprised and happy the iPod is still in.

Yep thats the brown piss filter I remember.
Day 1.

This release is so exciting! I never thought that I would have the chance to play this game again, especially not on modern hardware. Its a game that brings back memories of a time in my life where I was living the dream basically with the kids and the wife and a good job. It reminds me of coming home to my remodeling project after working a ten hour shift and knowing that fucking game was just in the next room begging for attention while I stared at the unfinished drywall and missing trim and lack of flooring... The last time I played this game my kids were just little shits and now they are all adults living on there own and two of them have started families. I can't wait to finally sit in my chair, turn this game on, and see what other memories I can jog free from that era. I can't wait.

Too many cutscenes and barely any gameplay. This will always be my main issue with this game. It doesnt help either that many of these cutscenes are extreme fanservice and at times rather cringe

I still loved this game when I was younger and had a lot of fun with it but as an adult my favorite will always be MGS5 because of how great the gameplay is

What type of controls will Snake use when controlling MK II?

And how will he replace the Otacon lines with the PS3 Blu-ray?

Game of the Generation for sure. Single handedly put the PS3 back on the race and carried it forward (with a bit of help from Uncharted 2 haha)

The fifth sun was catastrophic. There were some cringe inducing scenes on the other chapters but for the time it was pretty cool and played fantastic. The final one was nothing like that. All cringe and played like a downgrade from ***** ***** that you've just played in the previous chapter. Should have ended the game there. And the ending. My god. And yes, many people bought a PS3 for it but what saved Sony was a combination of exclusives that they no longer do, not a single one. That and the fact that Microsoft decided to sacrifice the hardcore audience in pursuit of the elusive casual. That worked wonders in USA, but not everywhere else.

Will Otacon still mention this is on blu-ray and doesn't need to swap disks?

Why not? Is a nod to the classic first one!

 

[Fabieter]

Why not? Is a nod to the classic first one!

I meam it doesn't make any sense to have that line on the pc version.

 

[Radical_3d]

I meam it doesn't make any sense to have that line on the pc version.

1998 MGS is mainly a PlayStation game that made its name on that platform. Get out of here with your digital only nonsense.

MGSV/GZ>MGS4>MGS1>MGS2>MGS3>MGSPW

You got off to a great start with the first two picks then lost it altogether. For shame.

If the iPod is still there, then hopefully the integral podcast is too.

For those who don't know, it's an audio commentary featuring some of the developers. There is one episode for each level and they guide you around the map and show points of interest that you may not have noticed and talk about the development of the game.

What is it with this guy's battle jacket?
