Solid Snake's character design is fantastic here.

Oh God, these weird ass fake commercials. The Hayter one is hilarious. Who is the lady interviewing him?

Hayter looks so funny. "Let your dreams drive you."

I legitimately hope you keep commenting on MGS4 throughout the thread as you play. I just replayed Act 1 pretty recently, so I'm curious to see your thoughts on it.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

The Love Theme is really beautiful and melancholic. The game still looks beautiful. A dusty, ruined Middle Eastern village.

War has changed.

Hayter's narration here is nice. I wish it was a bit more poetic, feels expository AND THERES THE FIRST NANOMACHINE DROP.

Here. We. Go.

Wow, the game still looks really good.

OR you two can switch over to the community thread which is where the cool kids hang out.

I think I've played mgs4 at least once every year since release. I always skipped the cut scenes though.

 

[base shagohod]

Has anybody noticed how strange the box animation is? Has it always just straight dropped on him like that? Can't remember lol

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Wow. Three seconds of gameplay, 75 second cutscene.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Oh these fucking cow sounding Gackos. I hated these things. These things defy physics

Poor Middle East red shirts.

Snake ditching the cloak with his CIG is badass.

 

[Gun Animal]

Same, but I don't skip the cutscenes. Also, same for every other game since MGS1. Basically I play every game in the series once a year.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

mgs4 is the black album (supposed to be the big comeback, but it fell way short)

Bruh wut

The Black Album is widely considered to be a top 3 Jay-Z album, if not a modern classic. Don't stain it with MGS4 comparisons.

And Rising's story was a million, trillion times more entertaining than MGS4. Anyone criticizing it for being nonsense while propping up MGS4 has no leg to stand on.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

These geckos are like those shitty big robots from RoboCop.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I have spent less than thirty seconds... Playing?

Certainly sets the mood. The octocamo is so cool. Given the length of these scenes... I have a lot of time to type.

I forgot how fetishistic Snake is towards his guns.

Flashback to three days earlier. This is Big Boss's grave?

Hey kids, it's Uncle Hal! Seeing Snake this old makes me sad.

 

[Nightengale]

I wonder how active or massive mother base assaults will be. I can see defending them, if you're at MB, being more active, but what about sending a force to another person's base?

Obviously I don't know, but I imagine it's more like the MB app where you just send whatever force you can create and then you get a mission report about losses, GMP gain, etc. I don't imagine you'll actively take part in the missions? But who knows. (maybe someone knows)

I hope you're able to do it like Peace Walker, where you can play as one of your soldiers.

And that soldier has higher stats than BB, because grinding.

It just kind of appears on him in the older games. Still hammerspace but I really like how animated it is in TPP.

 

[Lucent]

But they go MOOOOOO!!!!

Also, should play the game with headphones if you can. The first boss battle was so amazing that way. Scared the crap out of me. lol

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

"A year at best, right?"

Man, that ain't fair. FOXDIE is outta MGS2? I wish I had a recap for some of this stuff. Not an indulgent cut scene, but a quick recap.

UN SANCTIONED KILL ORDER, FUCK YOU UP THE BUTT, LIQUID.

I just realized that this game IS PRESENT DAY.

Lol, the chicken is named Solidus. Sunny is adorable.

ACT ONE: LIQUID SUN

And a codec.

Christ, its been 25 minutes.

There is a MGS4 companion app thing on PS3 you can download. It's basically a database that can help you learn about the past events and also unlocks new info as you play through the game. Pretty sure it looks up your save whenever you access it.

Ah. God, it's been a while.

 

[FloweryMarston]

my top 3 at e3 all have horses as a way of transport

witcher 3, mgs v and zelda.


coincidence? I don't think so.

 

[robotrock]

That makes me want to listen to Burial for some reason.

Burial should totally sample Metal Gear again somehow

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

The radar ring around Snake is a great UI complement to traditional radar. It's not obtrusive and is very useful.

Christ, I don't remember how to CQC these dicks.

...what version of MGS4 are you playing?

Spoiler

I'm sorry

Haha, its definitely interesting.

But this is the best part of any game ever.

Just wait until the end of act 3; it's over an hour of cutscenes, installing, and loading before you control Snake again. :/

David Hayter Simulation?

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Ohhhh okay.

FUCK THESE LONG ASS INSTALLS.

Though this first one is two minutes.

Um, with the new patch that patches in trophies it should also allow you to do one single install that allows you to bypass all that per chapter install nonsense and play all the way through like a normal MGS game.

"A canteen..."

The way he says that and then hesitates to grab it is so damn funny for some reason.

 

[Celestial Mortal]

Imagine at the end of tpp,

Spoiler

Young snake infiltrates mother Base and takes down big boss...

Also is it too much to ask for a spin off featuring Liquid Snake?

 

[ezekial45]

Imagine at the end of tpp,

If they're really going about turning Big Boss into a villain for this game, then that would be absolutely incredible way to close out the game.

I would watch an entire walkthrough of this.

Yours looks WAY better than what I was doing xD
Thanks a lot man!!!

That's my plan!

 

[jsnepo]

I hope motherbase has interiors. I know the trailers showed some but I want to be able to explore the insides.

 

[wanders]

I just hope they really flesh out the attacking friends basses ideas like receiving messages on your smartphone that your base is being attacked. Replacing destroyed artillary or soldiers would create a cycle of searching for the best equipment and soldiers or leveling up your current set up.

Adding that multiplayer aspect into motherbase would make me want to replay missions more than Peace Walker did.

 

[Jindrax]

In Kojima Station they already stated that even before they cast Kiefer, they had already made a conscious decision to perform a "show, don't tell!" approach to the story, which is why there isn't nearly as much dialogue (during cutscenes).

Of course it's also been confirmed that Kiefer plays 3 characters. BB, The Medic, and Ishmael (probably Decoy Octopus if I'm guessing right).

What the... Sutherland plays three different people? His snake sounds exactly like Bauer... So we're basically going to have three dudes in the game who sound exactly the same?

 

[Tookay]

Well the medic was a throwaway character (though there have been plenty of stupid theories about him) whose voice they just pitched down and showed in a single cutscene.

And Ishmael's likely just a hallucination.

 

[TopGun]

I swear, I get more impressed by the visuals every time I see this game. Considering these are from a YouTube video that has compression and framerate limits, it's still visually impressive.

 

[Solaire of Astora]

Imagine at the end of tpp,

You are aware that that would require a hefty retcon, right?

People gonna crucify me for this but i find MGSV's visuals to be the best I've seen for an open world game on consoles, yes better than Infamous *runs*
