Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

InsaneZane · 02-24-2006, 04:01 PM

Yay!
I'm a big MGS fan! I can't wait for this!
This game IS the reason I am getting a PS3!

Storyline-wise, I think I heard something about Snake losing control of his clone dna and he starts to decompose or somethin' because hes getting old, but the biggest clue to the story is the subtitle "GotP". Patriots, an old government organization or something.
I think the only confirmed characters are Snake and Otacon.
but I heard rumors about some returning characters including, Ocelot, Vamp, and Meryl.

Oh well, I'm not exactly the info-seeker, but I'm sure theres a lot more that is known.
but, anyway, lets hear what everyone thinks.

redsai4lex · 02-24-2006, 04:08 PM

Ocelot, Meryl, & Vamp are definatly confirmed...

unfortunately so is Raiden & Olga's child...

also, a character who is rumored to be the revived "Big Boss"
is also confirmed....

maybe this will be the MGS sequel everyones been waiting for...

I can't take the cut-scenes in MGS. Imagine what they're going to do with all the room on a Blu Ray disc...It'll probably take them 6 months just to records the voiceovers.

Jo269976 · 02-25-2006, 01:32 PM

Probably Rent it but there needs to be less cut-scenes it takes more time to watch them than play the damn thing!

*Raven* · 02-25-2006, 01:41 PM

I cant wait for this game! I just about watch that trailer every week, its so good, the best looking game on the new gen systems.

Unlike most americans I like Raiden, and Kojima said that those that didnt like him will come to love him in the new game.

The new metal gears sound like there going to be extremly hard to take down.

Cant wait.

*Dr. Doom* · 02-25-2006, 04:54 PM

I've always thought one of MGS' strong point was how cinematic it is. So I certainly don't mind the cutscenes.

*R-iZZy* · 02-26-2006, 11:10 PM

^ Same here. They actually contribute well, to the story, and it separates this game from the rest, because the details are so in-depth, you would think the developers put their life into this game.

I actually liked Raiden. I can't figure out why people didn't. The only thing I didn't like about the guy was that he actually had a love. But come on, you can't deny that the MGS2 game was pretty f*ckin' boss, even if Raiden WAS the main character. The way they brought Solid Snake... errr... "Iroqois Pliskin" into the story was genius. And the whole "glitch" idea, that sh*t was SO confusing.

dont get me started,
i can go on forever about how dissapointed i was in MGS2,
but its ok, maybe Snake and Meryl will remember old times in MGS4
by talking about all the kinky nights they shared after "Twin Snakes"...

er...yeah thats kind of wrong....

Back on topic here, with word that big boss might be in the game, I'm thinking its more along the lines of how they did it in MGS where they just mention him but you never see him, I'm wondering how they'll close up those loose end and like always I wonder what new questions will come up?

~~Turtledude2k3~~ · 03-11-2006, 11:33 PM

I understand how some poeple don't want long cutscnes but how Kojima did it was really good. Unline xeonsaga long movies metal gear solid series had a good way tos how it and it was really good.

I love em all and it's hard to say no to any of them.

I cant' wait for the new one..

*Ecto Jedi* · 05-14-2006, 08:52 PM

I've been a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid franchise ever since I was pleasantly surprised with the first installment oh so long ago. The cutscenes are an integral part of why I enjoy the games: the franchise is much more than just a series of gameplay challenges, they're immersive experiences...In that regard, I tend to look at these games more as a combination of a movie and a game, and a perfect one at that.

And MGS 4? There is little doubt it will be the PlayStation 3's killer app, along with other noteworthy titles like Warhawk and some first-person shooter I can't remember the name of.

*Dr. Doom* · 05-14-2006, 10:14 PM

Doesn't really make it seem very noteworthy then, does it?

*Raven* · 05-14-2006, 10:28 PM

So now that the offical trailer is out we have some new questions that have come up, first whoes grave is that? Raidens, Big Boss or what? And why is Raiden in a cyborg Ninja looking suit?

I was reading about vamp a while back and caught somthing interesting, every time he came back to life water was involed....I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

Does any one else think snake will kill him self at the end, personally I think so just because Kojima dosent want to make any more MGS games.

Even if that does happen we can awlays have games that are non canon.

My guess is Gray Fox's or Olga's grave.

The first time he's killed it has nothing to do with water, he gets shot in the head in the room where you "fight" Fortune, no water to be seen.

In the trailer (I've only seen the short version once), is it a baby Raiden's holding? Cause if it's set 6 years after Big Shell then won't the kid be like 7 or 8 years old?

**Barkworm** · 05-15-2006, 03:38 AM

I didn't see a baby in the trailer but he was holding one in one of the artwork pictures.

I'm not 100% sure, thats what the site said. Guess I'll have to pop in the game and watch it again to make sure, but if I can remember a tear does happen to hit him.
