Well the video does hint at the idea the frame could be flopped.
It's been seven years since that first MGS4 trailer, this splurge has been a long time coming.

And I'm willing to believe the devs who say otherwise.
I'm not the one saying it. Those two options are the only options given what the developers have said. And I lean toward the latter. That the demo shown off was set to PS3/360 specifications.
I agree that it is really impressive. But until proven otherwise I'm willing to believe the developers who say the demo is representative of the PS3/360 versions.

If anyone is an IGN prime member, could you please download the HD version of that extended trailer then upload it somewhere? I would like to download it and put it on my Vita.
I think the PS3 can pull off the lighting. The graphics are comparable to GOW III really.
Yeah, maybe the geometry and some of the facial stuff/textures/clothing might not make it though. I do agree there.
It's like people have never played Uncharted 2/3, God/Gears of War 3 or Killzone 2/3 on consoles or something. Yes it looks fantastic, but it's not that much out of the ordinary.
The direct feed shows more than enough flaws for it to be possible on current console hardware with minimal limitations.

Not really, if anything it helps because people can kick back and treat it like the spinoff it always was.
It will stop the bitching at least.

Big Boss
was one of the founding members of the Patriots. He had a falling-out with Zero sometime during the 70s or 80s due to disagreements about the purpose and ultimate goal of the Patriots.

It's absolutely astounding how good this game looks. Haven't ever been this hyped for a game! Right up there on my list with GTA V.

From the PS blog: on PC, "comparable" to PS3:
Am I mistaken, or autoaim was active when he sniped that guy in a watchtower? GIF evidence is needed! 
Comparable = PC demo was rendered in 720p

Keep in mind though that (Metal Gear 2 spoilers)
Big Boss' face was burnt too when his face was lit on fire with a makeshift flamethrower
unburnt at the end of MGS4
I'm not saying it won't look impressive, but it is an open-world game running on 6 year old hardware with memory constraints. There is going to be a trade-off somewhere. Of course they chose to use an environment where the engine probably looks at its best. It is at night with good rain effects and dynamic lighting. I imagine that hides its shortcomings quite well.
I also think the cutscenes probably have a greater level of detail than the actual gameplay will have. It is using the same engine, but I think it probably scales once in gameplay.
We will see just how good the engine is once more gameplay is shown, and in a completely different environment without the lighting and rain effects.

This is what scares me. Look how MGS4 turned out after the first reveal. The graphics were downgraded, right?

Don't know if this has been posted, but for those of us hoping for a PC version: http://www.gamespot.com/news/kojima-hiring-for-next-metal-gear-solid-6350832
There are reasons to believe this is coming to PC.

This game also looks to continue the realistic character model dominance of the industry set by the last 2 mainline MGS games. All the soldiers, and especially Snake look insane.

Your captions fits very nicely with your gif for some reason. It's almost like poetry. :')
Looks very, very good. I'm very hyped for this.
Special Ennio Morricone music choice made me think 'Kojima is back'. It actually felt special watching that trailer, I haven't felt that in a while in gaming (and I'm not talking graphics. We have new Wow moments pretty regularly these days). Love the directing of that trailer. So many small touches.
Technically I would say Naughty Dog level (hard to say without actually having it run on the designated hardware). In game animation transitions not near TLOU but got to love the lighting effects, just lovely. Good level scale but hard to judge draw distance. Rain/night scenarios are the easiest to have be graphically impressive (see Gears 1, MGS2, RE5 etc) so it will be interesting to see daytime scenarios. The faces look more realistic than previous MGS games. Having it still run on a PC when it's only confirmed for a X360/PS3 is a bit iffy. Let's see how it runs when on actual current-gen console hardware (not that it matters much to me as I will pick up the unannounced PS4/X720 version).
Kojima Productions are now on a technical level with the best western guys. Seems like that department has been on a slight hiatus since 2004.
also: Solid Snake hell yeah!

Anything is "comparable". That doesn't necessarily mean it's the same. Unfortunately.

Why does your gifs look better than everybody's else?

That was largely due to Kojipro not knowing the final specs of the PS3 at the time IIRC, as Sony made some changes to the PS3 specs before launch. Something like that.

Yes, but that was more to do with Sony setting up unrealistic expectations of the PS3. I mean light realistically reacted to Snakes ear in a demo. Softly casting through.
I think it'll be pretty damn close. I trust KojiPro as much as any 1st-party Sony dev.
Looks great. Also glad to have definite confirmation on it being a direct follow-up to Peace Walker. This is the next Metal Gear I wanted, so I'm happy. I love me some Big Boss, and his reveal here was pretty rad.
Will be interesting to see what Kojima means about this being a "prologue" to MGS5. With his hints about wanting to return to Solid Snake, I have a feeling the next numbered game will be the MG1/MG2 "remake," but with a focus on all the stuff we've learned about Big Boss/Cipher/Zero/The Patriots throughout the series. My bets are on Ground Zeroes concluding at Outer Heaven proper.

Yeah, it's much better to do the long uninterrupted single following cam with this than what they were focusing on before with the overdone cinematics. Still, after MGS4, I'm gonna hold my excitement level to just wanting to see more nice visuals. I like how mysterious it seems, compared to the last few MGS releases' first videos, which drown you in so much minutiae and dribbling speak that it feels like someone filming every thing from a dense page turner instead of condensing and using more show and less fucking endless tell.
There was no gameplay.

It is but I doubt it's on the level of Just Cause or anything. I suspect there will be 5 or more different stages with multiple missions on each. In some ways similar to Peace Walker but less linear and without the segmented 'rooms'.

What's the point in quoting it again and again? We all already heard of it.
Many of us simply think that's bullshit. At least I surely do.

That looked great. Animation was seamless, overall lighting excellent, and man - have devs really nailed the wet texture effects this gen or what?
But I think the little details are what really made the difference here. The rim of the hat actually being moved by the raindrops was the first one I really noticed.
This is running on a PC made to console specs? Hard to believe, makes this even more impressive/spectacular.
