Anamorphic scaling is less noticeable. We have notably better vertical acuity than horizontal.
It doesn't match the best of the 720p offerings on the system, but it's much better than 720p with no AA.

Was there a huge marketing campaign for this? I remember seeing 1 commercial, if that even. I wouldn't be surprised if this cost half of what Halo did (for example) due to the difference in marketing costs.
Well this has reminded me how bad I am at MGS4. I keep getting spotted and/or killed. Mostly spotted. And killing allies with grenades. Snake is getting old...
But the one thing I never really understood is how best to use CQC. The running slam is good for a lot of situation, but things like doing body checks and interrogating enemies? I have no idea on how to do that. So how do you do it?

Massive marketing, commercials, those cinema commercials before films, posters all over the place. Sony were co-marketing though. It sold very well too.
I was just wondering about the production costs specifically though.

My statue for Laughing Octopus showed up after using non-lethal in the first part; which makes me think that using lethal attacks in that part won't net you the statue.

Oh interesting, didn't realize it had that much media.
I don't think we were ever given a number though but I'd like to know too.

Missed one of the ipod tunes in act 1. Oh well. There's gonna be a bunch of playthroughs where I'll pick it up. Onto Act 2.
EU got it before NA !
Ah, so that's how you do the body check. You have to start from a hold up, or at least do the throw enemy to the ground, then aim at them there move.
I guess the interrogation from MGS3 is out.

I'm probably still stuck in "BBE" mode where I'm trying to speed through shit, so I'm also probably mistaken. Good to be corrected though!
They are missing the flashlight one. Not really a CQC action, but still part of the close quarter combat tactics.
Here is a video playlist of guides I did back in the days for local gamerepublic website (CQC stuff is at the bottom).

(spoilers, of course)
Unless they changed it for this patch I am 100% certain that previously you could get the statues using lethal weapons on the Beasts and non-lethal on the Beauty forms.

Wait, is this some kinda of troll thread?
They seriously patched in TROPHIES after 4 years?

No, it was always non-lethal on the Beasts, as well. There would be no way to get the statues for three of them otherwise.
The only thing beating a Beauty by non-lethal means gets you is their FaceCamo.

No. The only time that they even commented on a budget is when someone put a 60m figure out there. Ken Imaizumi, one of the producers of the game, said that it would've been multiplatform if it had that budget. That's all we really know about it.
Hehe yeah, she creeps me the fuck out, those FROG units don't make it any easier with their accurate sniping.
Yes, and we love it.

I don't think it's been released yet. Probably why there's no stock.
They did say there would be a re-release in the US with the patch on disc but there's no date.
So I'm not the only one who did that the first time?? I'm betting you guys also got worried when she rammed into the tank. But hey, it is what it is. Mosin-Nagant all day under there.

It should be said I never even thought of that. That's awesome.

Installed this the other day. Made me smile so much when Snake quipped 'kept you waiting, huh?' when the full installation finished. Gonna start my replay next week.

Yeah I did it on accident one day and went to youtube to see if I was the first... sadly I wasn't.
Totally agreed. This was something we discussed. We wanted to do the shoot in Japan, but flying in and lodging foreign actors for months on end would have costed too much.
I believe the reason behind that was because the Japanese voice actor of Ocelot (Koji Totani) passed away a few years prior to MGS4
Now you mention it, I do remember that.I believe the reason behind that was because the Japanese voice actor of Ocelot (Koji Totani) passed away a few years prior to MGS4
I like how the B&Bs have a male and female voice, it would have been less goofy in 2 if Liquid/Ocelot had both VAs speak lines when directly addressing Snake, or whatever it was 2 claimed to have been the source of his appearance.
Given this mini revival of MGS4 with the trophies and the 25th anniversary, do you have any non-NDA'd anecdotes from the development you could exclusively share with us fine gaffers on this special occasion?
Fun to see the wellspring of MGS4 love in this thread. I remember checking GAF a few months after launch and being surprised at the outpouring of hate. Sure, the game's got problems, but I think it's a sum of its parts, and some of the parts are undeniably incredible.
Haha, yeah, lots of stories. One thing I recall was all the PS3 vs. 360 controversy at the time. (If you recall, it was much worse than it is now. I clearly remember having my family threatened by a fan when he became convinced that we were prepping a 360 version.) We had fun with it all though and put in a few easter eggs to stoke that fire, but I'm not sure anybody noticed...
As you all can see, Act III had the most problems. Credits goes to Shinta Nojiri for coming in at the very last minute and greatly improving it. He practically lived at the office for the final 60 days.
Overall, I remember being really worried about the game upon ship because of the cutscene-to-gameplay time ratio. I wanted the entire game to be like Act I & II, but I think the desire for a lot of special case fan-service stuff won out. I'm still really proud of the game and the controls, actually (they were drastically improved over what was originally intended to ship). Still don't have the urge to play it again though. Maybe on its 10 year anniversary?

God damn it, it's like pouring salt in my wounds.
OT but I never knew you posted here.
Thanks for the insights. A Night time ActI/II styled Act III would have fantastic .
Where's my Snatcher PSN port?!
Weird question, does anyone notice little squares on the screen during cutscenes? (not present for me during regular gameplay, and I tried two HDMI cables to be sure)
It looks like aritfacting (albeit they're larger than those though) that you would see during compressed cutscenes, but that's not something possible in this game, so i'm trying to figure out what it is.
