[PS3] Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat? PROTIP: THIS IS THE MGS4 THREAD

Was it just me, or did the graphics seem a little...different than the trailers from last year? Don't get me wrong, they are still fucking amazing. Hell, they don't even really seem worse, just different. I don't know, it's almost like they had a more 'artistic' quality to them...

Or it could just be that the video I watched wasn't of the highest quality...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was confused about the whole 'Metal Gear spewing blood' thing in that scene with Raiden. Have Metal Gears always been like that? Don't tell me they're some type of cyborg now...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Kojima put up the entire ShowMaybe mag up for free on his website.

Check it.

It's probably easier to grab Pietaks version though. Thanks for everything you've done, Pietak. You're awesome.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

FUCK YES.

That barrel was pretty funny, but a little cheesy at the same time. I'm sure it would be fun, but I guess I don't really know how I feel about it quite yet...

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hell, I can't tell if he looks more pissed off or stoned. Still, a pretty bad ass figure. Too bad I would never drop more than $15-$20 on something like this. And I don't see it getting that low. Evar.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hmm...I'm reading everywhere that the head of Konami just announced in his speech that MGS4 is indeed going to remain exclusive to the PS3, and it will be released early next year.

I can't wait to see this new god damn trailer.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, I just saw that as well. I'm literally downloading about 13 different things write now from E3. My download queue even got too full, so I have to wait on some things .

FELIPE NO

Raiden vs. Vamp = awesome. Nuff' said.

Most amazing jew boots

Ugh. I can't figure out how to sign up for the beta .

Do you need a Konami ID in addition to your PSN ID or something?

Most amazing jew boots

Wow. I have never had an urge to get any sort of action figure what so ever, but that Big Boss one sure is tempting.

If only they sold them at Target in the toy isle for like $7.99...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That movie was shit hot sexy. But somebody please tell me that the little 'shimmy' move didn't replace the old military crawl sneaking move.

Part of me wants to buy the game right when it comes out, but part of me also wants to wait for the re-release of MGS4: Subsiteancestance :/.

How ya doing, buddy?

Kojima to show new MGS 4 trailer and playable demo in Leipzig

Quote:

Konami Europe has announced that Hideo Kojima will visit this year's Leipzig Games Convention, and will show an all-new Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots trailer and a playable demo of the video game during the game's presentation. The presentation will be held in Hall 4, Stand 11 in the Leipzig Games Convention venue (the event will run from August 22 to 26).

This will be the first time for Konami Digital Entertainment to show a playable demo of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots in Europe. Kojima will also reveal some gameplay secrets and explain important details related to the video game, in addition to making important announcements regarding future Metal Gear Solid projects (does this mean there's still life after the Solid franchise?) as well as Kojima Productions.

Aside from showing a completely new trailer and playable version of the video game, Hideo Kojima promises to bring along a very special guest, whose identity is kept secret for the meantime. Hmm...

Ok. I'm confused. Is this another gameplay demonstration, or will this be an actual playable demo? The whole "in Europe" part of that sentance is throwing me off. If it is an actual demo that people can play, then I would imagine that a PSN demo couldn't be too far off :/. And who the hell is this special guest?

And he better fucking announce ZOE3.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I remember hearing somewhere that MGO was going to possibly have a monthly fee. I know this is probably total bullshit, but please, somebody say it ain't so.

I would be all over that if it had a big ol' "!". Classic.

So I assume that if you have a Japanese account, you will be able to sign up for this open beta, right?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, I just hope that the multiplayer servers last longer than Metal Gear 3's did. What was that - a little less than a year?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

So I don't get it. Are we suppose to be able to register for the MGO beta today...?

I went on the teaser site and didn't see any kind of registration form or anything . Has it not relaunched yet?

FELIPE NO

Hmm. I thought that the MGS4 preorder just guranteed your acceptance into the beta, but wasn't necessarily the only way to get in. I was hoping that this 'registration' would kind of work like the Warhawk beta - where you fill out a form and pray you get in. Who knows, though.

EDIT:
Hey, maybe I should read your source before replying like a fucktard.

Q: Will consumers who don’t pre-order have any chance to join the beta?
A: If additional promotional partners are secured, there is a possibility of making beta access available, but nothing is confirmed at this time.

So while there is still a chance of gaining access to the beta if you don't preorder, nothing is confirmed/guranteed. Question answered.

Looks like I'm preordering, even though I really don't want to. You know they are going to re-release this game like they have done WITH EVERY SINGLE OTHER MGS GAME.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh wow. When the MGS4 PS3 was announced in that 'Steel' color, I always assumed it would look like the old silver design when the PS3 was initially unveiled -

Spoiler:

Guess I was way off.

Also, how does that controller charger work? Do you just flip the controller upside down and plug it in? That might look a little...goofy :/.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, now that I look at it, it's really not that bad. I'm kind of a 'pod' whore with all my gadets, and get one whenever there's one available for a device I own. I was just trying to imagine 4 of these things above my TV and didnt really like the idea, but if I'm only using one it wouldn't be so bad.

Still, I guess it looks better than a controller laying flat with a usb cord going everywhere.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That was fucking epic. I'm a little unsure on what to think about the Gekko's AI, though.

I mean, when Snake initially ran away from the first Gekko, another one jumps over a building right in front of Snake's face and attempts to block his path. Running under the newly created debris, Snake attempts to escape from this new Gekko, only to see it give chase by jumping over the pile of rubble snake crawled under. Shit like that gives me a boner. Awesome.

But then right after all of this, Snake runs a little, the Gekko looks at him, and starts to casually walk away while shooting with very bad aim, never to be seen again.

I dunno. I just hope that they, you know, really put up a fight in the final game instead of just walk around and occasionally charge you. Still, if anything that video was just another indicator that the game is a definite must by for any PS3 owner. I wonder how many systems will sell when this shits released...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

MGS5 confirmed. I hope he eventually reveals how he originally meant for the game to end well after the games release.

Ouch...does he have something against Nintendo or something, or just companies who purposefully create rehashed low budget games?

Most amazing jew boots

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the ending cutscene to MGS2 was roughly ~40 mins or so, wasn't it? Since I can only assume that Kojima was a fan of Assassins Creed (using the Altier costume in the latest gameplay video and all), maybe sometimes they will take the approach they did and let the user walk around freely while the dialogue ensues.

I understand that a lot of Metal Gear's cutscenes revolve around heavy scripted choreography, but it may be an interesting/refreshing change every now and then for the less involved scenes. Still, I doubt something like that will happen :/...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Is it still possible to preorder this game and get that slip that will allow me into the online beta? I've never preordered a game in my life, so I know very little about the whole process...

Is there a certain store I have to go to, such as Gamestop, or something?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Sweet. I'm gonna go preorder my copy later today at Gamestop (I read they have an exclusive artbook for everybody who preorders the game through their stores?).

They just released the box art for the limited edition version of the game via the Playstation Blog -



Pictures of the limited edition hardware bundle are yet to be released, but are supposedly coming in the next entry of the Playstation Blog for MGS4...

FELIPE NO

If anything, you can easily find a torrent of Saga Vol. 1 like I did :/.

Yeah, if you're a collector than this is a little worthless, but you'll still be able to see it this way. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the first DVD merely a collection of all the cutscenes, with some gameplay footage thrown in there for transitions that required it? It's been so long since I've watched it...

How ya doing, buddy?

I hope this hasn't been posted before, but wow -



Some people are saying it's fake, some not. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess...

EDIT:
WTF 12 lbs???

Jam it back in, in the dark.
