New Metal Gear Solid 4 scans

Snake's hair looks bad from certain angles and I still don't like the traditional MGS desaturation/color bias/filtering, but this game makes it a little too colorless, at least from these scans. And why is Snake gonna shoot that guy in tha ass?

Otherwise, looks as good as always...perhaps, a bit better in certain ways since these are apparently gameplay shots.

Actually, I think he's tasing that guy... :D

Awesome game though, looks beautiful!

Edit: And wtf at the guy shouting el downgradeo :lol .. These are scans of screenshots. I bet you that the direct shots look more detailed than these right now.

this needs its own thread. the octocamo shots where snake's hiding against the ground and the cave wall look a lot cooler than the one with the patterned wall -- IM SORRY 4 DOUBTING U TEAM KOJIMA

edit: sigh. snake and the environments and the gekkou and the enemy soldiers all look like they did in the e3 trailer. though i suppose we'll now have 15 pages of disingenuous argument on the subject.

still looks good, nothing like the videos we have seen so far.

:lol :lol People are going to be pulling this shit all weekend just because they didn't want to accept Kojima could pull it off.

If you look closely, it is shocking the soldier. I hope we dont need to find some battery for it.

downgrade?

wtf are you people smoking? It looks no different than it did when it was first shown this time last year, and at E3, and GC.

Pull what off?

That Kojima coudl make the gameplay look like the cutscenes. If he'd never said that these were gameplay screens before no one would be popping up claiming downgrade.

To be fair, if there was a downgrade it will be: "people are going to be pulling this shit all weekend just because they don't want to accept Kojima could not to pull it off"

I don't see any downgrade in this small scans though.
 
This game is just pure magic, PS3 got so much strenght in it's pocket that instead of playing Saint's Row I sit on boards like GAF just to get more news :lol .

It's pure magic, MGS4, FFXIII, NG: S, DMC4, VF5, White Knight, MotorStorm, Resistance, and probably REAL TK6 trailer soon, I think that I should jump into freezer for 6 months.

Kojima am God. :D


Yeah, looks sweet, but its a bit dumb to start saying "all is forgiven" Sony are STILL charging $600 for their 'superconsole' and no matter how sweet MGS4 looks, its still extortion.

Other than MGS4 anyway, PS3 has ****-all to offer.

Methinks i'll wait for the inevitable xbox360 version..

no, i'm pretty sure people just shout "downgrade" at everything and hope it sticks.

i don't expect gameplay to look exactly like cutsceenes... even if boot are realtime
just like for every MGS so far

I think it looks better now, filters helped alot of the earlier screens though. These appear to be free of those tints and other filters. Looks insanely good though. I still hate the new suit though, WTF Kojima?

Oh God what?
MGS4 looks gorgeous - yes we all agree, but it does not mean forgiveness for Sony, nor does it give them a pass to continue to shit all over the industry.
There is a lot more work to be done with PS3, its price, its marketing and its launch titles - before we can all be screaming about forgiveness.

Rant over - yeah i'll probably be banned for this.

Well, they always have...though, there seems to be some subtle changes to the visuals, overall, since the E3 video. Because I know that scans tend to make some things look better and some things worse than they are, I'm willing to believe it's practically the same. But, from these shots, it looks, to me, like the overall detail on the characters is lessened. That may be because of the washed out condition of the scans or because the environments have different lighting. Something looks very different.
 
quick question from someone who knows little to nothing about TGS.

Is MGS4 likely to be 'playable' at this event? Can we look forward to some hands on gameplay video?

I think you lack context. I posted those scans on the Japanese Mag thread, and I was making a joke about forgiveness because yesterday I refused to translate anything more for anyone after TTP insulted DoAX2 when I posted the scans. It's just an in-joke. It has NOTHING TO DO WITH SONY. :p

Hard to compare small scans to the HD movie. It does look like the blur filter is not used for the gameplay part though. Which I am glad. Everything looks more clear and crisp.

Octocam am awesome.

Saw what you want about the prospects for the actual game, but seriously...it is DRAB.
I agree. I know it's a stylistic choice...but it's a bit overdone, as usual in the MGS games.

Like I said, it's a bit too colorless for my tastes.
