Metal Gear Solid 4 new video (SPOILERS)

As a non MGS player (I did finish MGS 1 twice, but haven't played any of the others for more then 30minutes) I have to say that was a shit video. Did not make me want to play MGS4 at all.

I know it's not a trailer, but still.

If you don't like Metal Gear and haven't finished 2 or 3 or cared enough about them to finish them, I don't see how this would make you want to play MGS4.

Yeah the stuff IN the trailer doesn't need to be tagged, but when people go off on an epic tangent about something else entirely without marking it, that's when it gets ugly.



I don't think you're quite getting the bigger picture here, though. No one is overreacting here. Talking about
Big Boss' possible inclusion in the game
in a thread not about that, at all, in any way, is not only off-topic, but it's material that some people simply do not want to know about. Whether or not it's an earth-shattering spoiler to you or to anyone else is not the point here.

It's just like when Kojima includes people in a trailer or certain scenes in a trailer and makes you think one thing but it's something way different. It won't make sense until you play the game. Now I can see if it showed him
or her(LOL)
talking to snake or meryl or somebody then that would give away alot. That actually spoils something. The guy
or girl (LOL)
has been in just about all the mgs's.

No he didn't :| Kojima has NEVER said
Big Boss
is in the game. Have some courtesy and realise just because you don't consider it a spoiler, when EVERYONE else in the thread is spoiler-tagging this information, maybe other people do.

He said all (main) characters from the previous games would appear in some form in MGS4.

Well one could easily assume he meant all the characters that are
still alive

In any case, this thread didn't end up being a triumph.

One could easily assume that, that is a flashback now couldnt they?
 
I'm just simply pointing out that you don't seem to give a shit if other people don't agree with you that it's a spoiler. There's no arguing that it is, indeed, a spoiler, and it needs to be tagged. If you don't think it is, more power to you, but parading around as if you're the spokesperson of what constitutes a spoiler and what doesn't isn't a way to go.

It's just inconsiderate.

If it was soooo important that people did not want to ruin the game then why would they even enter this thread? There's nothing in the thread title that says anything about a specific spoiler. It says SPOILERS, which would mean that if they entered the thread then it's on them whether they find out something about the game that they didnt want to know. If they didnt' want to know anything then don't enter the thread. It could of been something as "BIG" (as gaffers seem to make it) as that picture or as small as snake having a dream with him at Shadow Moses again. It's not my fault.

Sweet!

OH, HOLY FUCKING SHIT! SHADOW MOSES?!

LOOK AT HIS FACE! NOT OLD!

Please do not kill me for the above messages.

EDIT: Download the Rapidshare video! It has more footage than the YouTube one! SNAKE WAS DREAMING?!

That's also why this post was able to get by before anybody probably even got to see the trailer. You enter spoiler threads at your own risk. Same as when you play online games and get cursed out to hell and back...companies don't get in trouble because they let you know that..."gameplay experience may differ when online".

No, he said all the favourite characters who weren't dead would return. He specifically said, those who aren't dead. Most logical people assumed that excluded
Big Boss
, who is long dead

Sorry if we can't tell what's being discussed even before entering the thread. The spoiler tags were for the video anyway, not this line of discussion. The fact that you're being so obtuse about it is what's worst of all. You're actually ARGUING what we should consider a spoiler? How hard would it have been, instead of being such an asshole to everyone, to just say sorry and spoiler tag your original post?

It'll get a 10 or whatever is the highest score the magazine has.

It's obvious that it'll get 10/10 from a PS3 magazine, but I just want to see the GAF drama unfold before I go into self-imposed exile from GAF until I've completed MGS4.
 
Comment on the major "spoiler":

This seems like a big mindfuck to everyone, but it seems simple to me if
Grey Fox can come back to life and kill a bunch of motherfuckers in a ninja outfit in MGS1
then I think it's certainly plausable to think that
Big Boss could make a return. Whether or not it's him, I hope Solidus is dead.
