For next-gen consoles and PC? I'm hyped either way, even if it would be the 3-4th time I've bought these games.

My GAF account just got validated but I didn't make it in time in order to be on the mosaic :(

At least I'm in for the discussion of upcoming TGS news and the Solid Snake Reveal, right?

Wondering why Snake still wears a MSF patch while Kaz and the soldier in the background wear a DD patch...

It's a US military tradition to wear your former unit's patch on your right shoulder and your current on left. That's why he wore a FOX logo in GZ and PW.

Personally, for something like this I'd prefer it if they didn't, like they did(n't) with the Cobra Unit.

Well they explained some of it. Like the reason The Pain was able to control bees was that he had a queen bee with him or something.


Anyway, it's nice to be back Metal Gear Gaf. I'm back from a few months hiatus. That Quiet trailer is crazy, never thought her power would be to freaking disintegrate. At it looks like Kojima is going all in on the boob physics too lol.

I guess they took a hint from Mega-Sized-Shoulders-Meryl in MGS4 because Quiet looks so darn skinny.

I think Olga was a good middle ground. She still actually looks like a soldier instead of a model but doesn't go overboard with the aesthetics.

And yeah I don't mind if this is supernatural. I would prefer that to introducing nanomachines in the 1980s....active camoflauge in 1964 was already pushing it! But I guess it does follow the technological curve of a bipedal robot in the 70s...

You know, this may sound nitpicky, but as far as we've come with mo-cap tech, i've always found hands to be particularly unnatural. I looked up a couple of behind the scenes mo-cap sessions pictures...

....and it appears that they do indeed mark the hands, but not the fingers. Is it a cost thing? latency issue? complexity with capping the digits? Faces have come a long way, but hands? not yet. wonder when we'll get to that point. I ain't complaining or anything. At least we don't have action figure hands anymore:

I imagine fingers are always hard to do no matter what kinda game you're doing.

FPS games might have it a bit easier since they just need to create one super detailed pair of arms, hands, and fingers and then articulate that pair to each weapon model.

Sorry man but i don't see the problem here.

What's wrong with their hands or fingers?

Never played any MGS game before I stumbled GAF during E3 2013. The hype surrounding TPP got me interested in the series and so far I've played MGS1 and GZ and I had a blast with both! (couldn't find HD or legacy collection in my town ;_; ) Psycho Mantis fight was awesome o_O and I've played GZ for over 40 hours. Should I bother with 4? I'm aware of the trainwreck story and all but it's GAF's GOTY (twice!)

P.S thank you for introducing this series to me

#teamA btw :p

So I think it's safe to say that the chocolate has nothing to to with the Metal Gear Collection 2014, no?

Just judging from what I saw from the stream today.

I can't put my finger on it specifically ( no pun intended) but......I don't know. when you see it in motion, an arm movement perhaps, there's just this way the hand moves, even if it's captured, that feels.....off to me. there's a tactile nature of the hand that just doesn't translate to me through 3d characters (especially mgs). Oh, and while we're on the subject, I've also wondered why every character in this universe has trouble locking their knees. I'm not talking about the contextualization of what predicament these people find themselves in either. It's understandable to keep your footing when out on the battle field, or when your in the jungle being careful not to trip on a branch so you don't fall and dislocate your penis but....just....this:

and, I don't know, this:

http://gamewiki.net/wiki/images/6/62/Metal_Gear_Solid_4-_Guns_of_the_Patriots.octocamo.jpg

maybe this?

http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/-iunPo2nAFo/hqdefault.jpg

but definitely this:

http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/de...b4a37c1fb733c1cd9653f184d9e.jpg?itok=Lm-BHhp2

look, cool doods, this all may seem trivial, but when your ocd, its......kinda jarring. Like the motherbase demonstration they showed us recently:

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/..._F4B8c0QZejSDRAtFHiXeO9XqrZA0XW2P8UGodsHG_-oA

as far as other assets that take precedence over contextual animation, even an idle standing one, that i completely understand. but when a character is in a perpetual state of caution mode when he's in the comfort of his own home, it stresses me. Wait, you know what, there is someone to blame here. Rockstar games. Dammnit, that euphoria engine has ruined me. Also, sorry if im not posting my reference pics properly gentleman. When you've been trying to get on gaf for a few years the excitement gets the better of you. Plus Im at work.
