...and made some screen caps. It actually looks pretty good for being a PS3 title, but watching the video I ran into some odd things. You can watch it here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22702.html (takes a while to load, again 56k gtfo)

oshi look out. EDIT: wtf @ that building's sign?? There's some cows and "XXX" oh my.


Is this supposed to be silly or is it just the goofs who made it :confused2:

[Cortexian]

It's just you.

And the fact that it's a PS3 game.

[Warsaw]

That's the first game I've ever seen with an AK-102 in it...

Looks alright, but I'm still a bigger fan of Splinter Cell than Metal Gear Solid.

[bitterbanana]

The humor is a brand of Hideo Kojima's games, afterall, it is just a game.

[leorimolo]

I freaking loled at that game....

[Dole]

Why is his spandex suit stuffed into his asscrack?

[Mr Buckshot]

I loved the MGS series although I don't actually own any Playstations (well I do have a PSX emulator). Subsistence was a game I frequently played at my neighbor's.

I've been holding out for a PS3 until more good games come out (so far, most of the good titles are also available on X360 and I have a 360). If MGS4 is a hit, I'm buying my own PS3 instead of walking next door to play :P.

The camo thing doesn't look that effective though. Anyway I was hoping that I could shake the Sixaxis to make a grabbed enemy drop his items (you can do that in MGS2 substance).

Konami appears to be working on better controls - the controls of MGS3 were my biggest criticism. You can even play the whole game in FPS view if you like - awesome! I would probably do it Splinter Cell style though.

Anyone who's still unsure about whether do buy a PS3 should check this game out at the store when it finally releases.

[Warsaw]

I'm not unsure about a Playstation 3. I am positive I don't want to drop half of a grand on one :downs:.

[ExAm]

Why is his spandex suit stuffed into his asscrack?I was wondering that while watching it. I hope to god they change that, I honestly do.

[Emmzee]

The biggest screw-up that this game made was being released on the PS3.

[alby]

The 360 just couldn't handle it. jk. but the ps3 does have a better graphics card then the 360 so it might be prettier.

[ExAm]

It has a better everything, but probably more fragile hardware. The real problem with the PS3 is its other, non-performance related design features, which I can't name off the top of my head, but know I hate. :awesome:

You mean like the fact that they touted Blu-Ray for months only to have quite a-many of their games be downloadable as well?

MGS4 looks like a big steaming pile of awesome, though. If I had a PS3, I'd get it. My favorite part from the one trailer was when the mech/Metal Gear/Something climbed the stairway by stabbing the wall with its now-harpoon-shaped feet.

[Mr Buckshot]

I won't say whether the PS3 is better than the X360 or whether the X360 is better, but both are awesome machines that deserve the next-gen title. They can churn out 720p and 1080p graphics with 60 fps.

However, I prefer the PS3's Blu-ray drive, free access to the Playstation Network (Resistance has proved that free online does not have to be laggy), and the fact that you can save data to common external media, i.e. USB keys, SD cards, Memory Sticks. The X360 is noticeably lacking when you need to pay for LIVE access and when you cannot save data to USB keys, SD cards, etc. Yes, I know the hard drive is there but sometimes you want to bring your saves to a friend's console.

back on topic: I will definitely buy a PS3 just for MGS4. Releasing on the PS3 is not a mistake - Metal Gear has been a key title for every Playstation released, and it will definitely boost sales of the console.

[Dr Nick]

Now I wanna PS3...
Just for MGS though!

[klange]

When I saw the different things in the video, I was like "wtf?"
Semi-porn magazines?
Puking?
Barrels that appear out of no where?
Grabbing some statue's dong?
They must have been on crack when thinking of ideas for the game.

[Xetsuei]

Lol, no.

[LlamaMaster]

Hummmm, it seems as the creators were a bit frisky. Ass hugging pants, holding of male genitalia, and assuming the position on other men. Very classy game.

Those are what really got me...

[ExAm]

Lol, yes, xet. The PS3's hardware is significantly better than the 360's.

[LlamaMaster]

Lol, yes, xet. The PS3's hardware is significantly better than the 360's.
Last I heard their almost the same. :eyesroll:

[alby]

The ps3 has better hardware its just the software that is bringing it down. Once they put out a good update i think they will sell more consoles.

Have you ever played any MGS games!? Its a Japaneses game, don't expect everything to be all up tight and serious like most american games.

[Mr Buckshot]

The ps3 has better hardware

not quite true, go check out the PS3's specs. The processor is better but the video card uses a G70 Core, the same one that powered the Nvidia Geforce 7800 line of video cards. It's a good graphics card, but there's no denying that the X360's graphics card is a little better. Still the PS3's card is powerful enough to deserve the next gen title.

LOL bacon, MGS is Japanese, of course they like to play around a bit. I like the part where Snake uses a PS3 controller to control his drone.

I still remember playing Subsistence next door...it had a few deliberate "silly aspects" like caging animals to eat them and so on.

Still the PS3's card is powerful enough to deserve the next gen title.Don't forget that the cell is also able to assist in rendering and shader/lighting processing - not quite something that is being taken advantage of yet in ps3 games but will when games start using real time global illumination and volumetric shaders. IBM keeps boasting about how the cell is supposed to be able to do all the rendering all on its own, but its going to be quite some time before game engines are developed to use the cell processor for rendering when its so much easier at this time just to get everything rendering on RSX.

[Ki11a_FTW]

PS3 shuldent coast that much, its not even better then the 360.:iiam:

[Warsaw]

SONY trying to cash in on the fan-boys.

[jahrain]

If I could buy just that cell processor for a PC, i'd pay $600 for it. Hell, an 8 core 3ghz? The core 2 extreme costs more than that.
