What time do you think you'd get to Virgin? I'm trying to get an idea. I get out of work (in NYC) around 730 and I think I'm going to head right over. Also, they're apparently gonna have the 80gb bundle for sale that night, so I think I can knock the whole thing out in one stop.

do you know if you have to pre-order from virgin? because i'm coming from out of town and chances are i'll probably be near the front of the line and don't want to get shafted by having 100 people with pre-orders get priority over me.

You know, I really have no idea. I seriously doubt it, but I'm going to stop in on my way home from work this week and double check. I'll post when I find out. You getting the bundle or just the game?

 

[Darkpen]

OMG I AM RETARDED FOR THINKING THAT HE MIGHT BE GOING BLIND!!!!!

Have you seen those badass screenshots THIS big before? 2048 x 1152 in its original form, with no watermarks, bigger than the 1080p used by gaming websites... You can see that Solid Snake has no iris on the fourth one!

:|

also, has anyone mentioned this?:

its a screencap from the theatrical trailer where they cut to one of the beauties. I can't make out the first half of the lettering.

 

[The-Switcher]

I'm still wondering why they gave Snake the 'stache in the first place and not just a beard.

The 'stache cramps Ocelot/Liquid's style.

I saw a couple short MGS4 commercials during the evening news on TV Tokyo earlier today. Nothing special, but the ads have begun over there, at least.

How many small text does this game have scattered over anything technologically advanced?

Meh, when something is fainting away, it eventualy disappear... Of course, he's probably developing cataract OVER his iris!

Interaction Layer? Extraction layer?

I believe I saw some lettering on her torso and butt too, so uhm, could you post those screencaps?

 

[ianp622]

Refraction layer would make sense for the optical camouflage.

cool, thanks i'd really appreciate that. i'm just getting the game.

 

[Laurent]

I was watching Bonus Round on GameTrailers and because of a slow connection, the video stuck at a frame and made me notice something...

Spoiler

Both soldiers are called P. Mantis.

the text on her lower-back is illegible. Its that font size that's "just as big as the other ones, but for some stupid reason, is far more pixelated," just like the other text on the GEKKOs that isn't "Do not strike this surface"

there are several PMC factions in the game.

I suppose it's indicating they both work for the Praying Mantis PMC?

Spoiler

I thought it meant that they were controlled / taken over by Praying Mantis.

But yeah, if it's actually the name of the faction (as opose to MGO that displayed the name of the soldier), it makes sense...

 

[CommanderQueen]

I really haven't read much about the game or seen very many videos, etc. It's going to be so fresh and so clean clean for me when I get my grubby paws on the game. Very excite!

Might be real. It's different than the one used in MGS3 and the anniversary collection slightly.

Okay, I have no doubt that it's real.

I want to say it's fake, sounds like somebody just layered MGS2's theme over the Snake Eater one.

That song was pretty awesome, but unfortunately that's not the traditional (controversial?) main theme of the series. That's a remix of the section that plays at the beginning of the "MGS3 main theme". I guess this will sort or "replace" the traditional MGS main theme?

If that's the case, then it's a good choice. I like that composition, it has the same "feel" as the original main theme..

Are you serious? its already out now?

Its a pity they removed that plaigerised part since it really "made" the theme.They just keep repeating the initial part like snake eater.

But at least its still in.

The theme should really kick in the Rex vs. Ray part.

couldnt they just pay the royalties or whatever?

 

[Frog]

The most blatantly plagiarized part is out, but the majority of the HGW MGS2/3 composition is in, including the most important part that plays at the end. Thank God...I thought it had been replaced with the sound-alike that plays at the end of the MGO trailer. Happy and relieved by this news.

 

[Darkpen]

It sounds too weird without the core of it.

God dammit, did those two russian guys REALLY have to play that CD for Kojima? Does anyone have the youtube clip for that? It looks like a god damned interrogation room.

Thats what i thought when i watched it. Kojima should stop doing interviews in Russia, if he is going to be ambushed like that.

I miss my theme now.

This is Ocelot's true aim after all, this is how he planned to return glory to Mother Russia.

 

[Thrakier]

Oh noes, the most beautiful part is missing. tears in my eyes.

 

[Easy_D]

Wow at the theme. The end part with the guitar is pretty fucking epic.

But they really should license the original Russian song and have it play in the

Spoiler

final confrontation on Shadow Moses

 

[Thrakier]

For me it sounds like an rip-off of the old song. It's not as epic and majestic as it should be...

 

[Cynar]

It's a black and white artist rendition of a briefing. But yeah, I agree it's rather confusing, but the fact that he keeps his brown hair after the Shadow Moses incident, and that he had brown hair before in the original, that whole story about him being blond doesn't hold up.

you're joking right? :lol He's blond, get over it. Or I should say, was blond.

 

[ausoff2]

Its probably old news, but i had a good laugh at old snake, before i started thinking that perhaps making a distinction that it's old snake could imply a young snake.

 

[Exempted]

you're joking right? :lol He's blond, get over it. Or I should say, was blond.

But nothing has ever ever ever stated that he was blond. He's always had brown hair. Always. The part where he cuts his hair has been misquoted as "dyeing" about a thousand times even though that was never said.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

:/ @ the theme. Fuck all of you! Fuck you for forcing the change!

 

[DrBo42]

:/ @ the theme. Fuck all of you! Fuck you for forcing the change!

Yeah, without that one section it kinda falls on its face.

 

[Simo]

It's hard trying to keep up with 2 MGS4 threads but since the other one is more to do with reviews and Europe I figured this one has become the "unofficial" thread until Sunday.

As such you here you can sample the entire MGS4 Original Soundtrack on iTunes which also proves the posted YouTube clip to be real and legit:
here

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Ok. Heard the theme for about 5 times. Even listened to it while watching MGS4 trailer. It fits, I'm used to it, and its good. Will miss the original theme but this is a great substitute.

 

[Zenith]

you're joking right? :lol He's blond, get over it. Or I should say, was blond.

Big Boss wasn't blond. Snake's a clone. Liquid got all the recessive alleles and was blond, therefore Snake with the dominant set should have dark hair.

and then there's the teeny tiny fact that in every Metal Gear game and concept art, from the games on the MSX to right now, Snake has had brown hair.

blond indeed...

 

[revolverjgw]

Its probably old news, but i had a good laugh at old snake, before i started thinking that perhaps making a distinction that it's old snake could imply a young snake.

I think it's more of a cute touch than anything else, but I'd like to play as a REALLY young Snake reliving key moments from Metal Gear 1 and 2. Especially the final battle against Big Boss, and the minefield battle against Grey Fox.

 

[hirokazu]

It sounds too weird without the core of it.

So it really is because of the "plagiarism" issue... Now I know why the theme was taken out of Smash Bros. Brawl too. Bah, would've been epic having it playing.

 

[Laurent]

you're joking right? :lol He's blond, get over it. Or I should say, was blond.

WTF?! He's brown... was from the first Metal Gear game!

Big Boss wasn't blond. Snake's a clone. Liquid got all the recessive alleles and was blond, therefore Snake with the dominant set should have dark hair.

Snake as the recessive genes! Go finish Metal Gear Solid once more... :lol The hair color combined to that fact are the only thing that doesn't make sense.
