You can see a little in-game joke here about Blu-Ray, some people see this as a joke aimed straight at the 360, others see it as a mention to MGS1 and its discs, note though that MGS2 and 3, both on single discs didnt have such a thing...

Ye that s rly funny. And it seems more like a reference to mgs1 and ps1 then 360 because otacon says "what an age we live in", pointing out that the systems have evolved since mgs1. 360 and ps3 are in the same "age"... so yeah.

True, though it could also be argued that the PS3 is the only console to use a new form of storage were as the Wii and 360 are still using last gens (read: 'age') DVD's...

OMFG!! guys i just got back from my store and got MGS4!! im freaking playing it as im typing this!

Prove VVV , anyone wants the other copy? :P

Why did you buy 2 copies for? by the time the post could get to anyone it will be the 12th...gekidami

it's MGS4! and i have a habit of buying two copies of the same game if i love it so much, i just don't feel very secure about having one copy, and yeah i know not a lot of people are gonna see my post but i was curious how anyone would respond to that, btw the game kicks ass im on Act 1 so far... it's the one that kojima showed in that one long demo, and the graphic haven't changed from MGO.

Aw man, I already have a ps3.. I guess it's the normal version then.socomsniper226

it IS the normal version , the CE won't drop till the 12th.

king-micky207

how is it? i cant believe im going to ask this, but does it live up to the hype king-mickey? how good are the physics and graphics?

MGS4 is going to put every other platform game from every other system to shame. I personally love Gears of War. but i dont think GOW 2 will be able to contend with MGS4. The graphics, the gameplay, and expecially the story just maked this game set apart from all others. i cant wait to watch the 90 minute cut seen.k1llercha0s

did you just compare MGS4 to Gears 2? your level and # of posts is kinda suspicious.

:shock: LOL Lucky Guy !

so far absolutely amazing, it's defiantly the best MGS game in the series and is by far the most fun game out all them, i always felt that the MGS series was boring when it comes to gameplay but this game amazingly manges to keep you having fun and blown away by the story, the flash backs are great because they help you remember/know who the hell are these guys and yeah, they only get activated if you press O (i have a Japanese console so it should be X for US consoles) which is a good thing cause most of the people who are going to play this game have probably finished all MGS games and it would be annoying to constantly be reminded of the story/characters, and about the hype question I'm gonna be honest , the game doesn't live up to the hype, nothing does really there is no game out there that live up to it's hype no matter what but MGS4 is no disappointment in any way, it's easily the best game i have played, the only thing I'm disappointed in is the graphic, they aren't any better than MGO which will annoy some people who expected it to look 10x better than it , though i noticed that the characters/enemies models have high textures and are rather impressive and there is no framerate drops what so ever , the physics are fantastic and are pretty much just like in MGO so when you play this game you won't notice a lot of deference's between MGO and MGS4 ,other than the stuff i mentioned MGS4 can go ahead and get that 10/10 cause it deserves it :) GOTY!!

yep,the game has been leaked out!!!!

and not only the opening movie;)

I have got it three hours ago for a little bit more of it`s price , I have got it for about 79 $ but the worst part is that I played for two hours and now I have got to stop playing

beacause of the stupid ,damn four final exams I have left which one of them is tomorrow !!!!

damn it!

BUT BY THE WAY THE GAME IS SO GREAT

no spoilers ofcourse:D

I cant wait to watch the 90 minute cutscene either, but I better be able to pause the cutscene. I dont think I could sit straight for an hour and a half... Does anyone know if we can pause them?

I hate Wikipedia :shock:

No one go searching for The Patriots! I just completed MGS2, and being confused to who The Patriots are, and especially the conversation between Otacon and Snake after the end credits, I decided to try and find out what it all meant. Silly me, I read down too far. Ah well, it's not a huge spoiler, just something I'd of rather found out through the game.

Guess I"m not that lucky after all.

Quick question: Does anyone know to what extent "Simultaneous Worldwide Release" means? I'm vacationing here in Brazil for the month of June and I'm really hoping the game will drop by an import store, or something of the sort.Bonch89

it means everywhere in the world (which ever stores ordered it) on june 12

what's with MGS4 releasing on a thursday??....why do alot of big releases come out on different days than most games....Nintendo releases their first party games on a sunday...MGS4 on a thursday...perplexes mejohnnyv2003

I remember that Metal Gear Solid was released on 6/12/1998, so to celebrate 10 years of the Metal Gear Solid series, its being released on 6/12/2008.

who wants to see new gameplay videos ?!?!?!?!?!

this should be able to hold you of for 2 more days.

BEWARE!!! the guy playing SUCKS!!! on all 3 videos. use your imagination and pretend your playing. only not as suckishly.

what's with MGS4 releasing on a thursday??....why do alot of big releases come out on different days than most games....Nintendo releases their first party games on a sunday...MGS4 on a thursday...perplexes mejohnnyv2003

the original was released on june 12, and most games are released on a friday (at least in the uk) as far as i know and it might be bad luck to release it on friday 13th, who knows..

Instead of playing through the entire MGS3 game, do you think I'll be ok if I just watch The Existence Disc you get with Subsistence, and just watch it instead?

I just don't know if I have time to complete MGS3 before 4 is released.

Did they add in effects for the Dual Shock or not? Because if not I wont bother buying one right now.Skull-Fire

they did as far as kojima says

he promised if the DS3 was there by its release he would defenetly put it in there and it was in the MGO Beta

Thank you. I googled for any info on how it will effect the gameplay but no such luck. I'll probably just have to wait until I read reviews about it because if it isnt a big deal, Id rather save my money for the moment.

Question for those of you who have it. Is it running in 1080p? and does it look like it actually is 1080p and not upscaled from 720p or 640p like many other games?

as a developer kojima would be one of the most brutally honest people out there

he openly stated he wasnt pleased with mgs4 final state.

i beleive if a man will publicly say hes not happy with the end product of his game.

he'll put something he assured us on ds3 announcement in the game
