Kotaku on MGS4: Less sneaking, more shooting

http://kotaku.com/gaming/first/metal-gear-solid-4-first-impressions-301716.php

So, apparently it seems MGS4 will be more action-oriented than other games in the series. As a MGS fan who's played (and loved) all the previous games in the series, I think this will be an interesting change, quite possibly for the better.

Does this make you more keen for the game? Think Hideo's ruining the essence of MGS? Still believe it will just be all cutscenes, no gameplay? What's everyone's thoughts on this?

(Dunno how to link, sorry.)

Let's face it. MGS is a series of crazy (sometimes awesome sometimes boring as heck) cutscenes held together by a string of awful gameplay sequences. I actually just run through most of the levels until I get to a boss sequence. If someone gets in my way I shoot them. I will end up playing through this game at some point but I don't really care how the gameplay pans out.

So now can MGS4 be called a shooter??:shock:

And by the way this game will be awesome!!!!:D
