Wasn't there an article last week stating that Kojima would only be signing purchased copies of MGS4?
no, it was more like the people working there wouldn't let people let them sign anything but the covers.

Holy fuck

i was spoiled MGS4 during a DOTA game (wc3 mod)
jeez
i thought that might happen. I figure its probably worst in ladder games where opponents might try to get you to leave the game for a free win.

hence i'm playing 1v1s and i'm mute ready.

Another thing some may not have noticed in the lower quality trailer:

At 01:49, (Not really a spoiler imo, but it might be for those who want to be surprised. It's about the Gekkos and other enemies)
you can see that a Gekko is carrying four of those black balls with hands on them on it's back.

Truly deserves to shoot laserbeams from his eyes
When I pick up my copy I am going to run in and out of that store as fast as I can to avoid potential humans that might be host to spoilers.

I've done well so far in avoiding the major spoilers that are apparently spreading like wildfire. Luckily, I ordered my copy online, so I should be good in the situation of anyone spoiling it for me at the time of purchase as well. Unless, of course, the UPS guy is in on it too. Trust no one.

I'd be in the dick
This will be my first time playing any of the MGS games without knowing the major plot points and I intend to keep it that way. I was able to avoid Harry Potter 7 spoilers and that took me a while to finish because of work and other things so I think I should be ok.

Haha.

"Can I get you to sign here?" *You sign* "Oh yeah, almost forgot, *spoils entire game*...enjoy!"

Really? I never noticed interlacing issues when I played it on the PS3... Except maybe when the Kojima Productions logo swipes away.

I'm uploading a bunch of screenshots I took of the trailer right now. There's a stunning amount of detail all over the place when you go frame-by-frame that you'd never notice just watching it straight up. I'm blown away... I mean, wow, I completely do not understand complaints about modelling and stuff not up to par with some other games.

It. Is. Incredible. :0

But you can also see if you go frame by frame that the trailer, like the game, was designed for 1280x720 rather than 1920x1080.

Agreed. Hell, just look at the badass new wallpaper we got, that's the model quality being used. It's looks amazing.

WTF is up with spoilers now being in the thread?



Yeah on monday.

You mean the ones on this page? We're talking about the theatrical trailer. I'll take mine down if you want, though.

I think it'd be cool if you spoiler tagged theatrical trailer ones. I know a lot of people including myself were told that we might not want to watch that trailer.

Edit: Nevermind, I see that you have, unless that was an edit.

The MGS retrospectives are really useful for a good story recap and finding out about hidden secrets. I watched retrospective part 4 (the one about MGS3 and MGS: PO) and there's some secrets they mentioed about MGS3 that I wasnt aware of. For instance, If you get to The End boss battle and then dont play the game for a week, the end dies of old age. I also didnt know about that DMC-ish minigame you can play if you save the game and then turn it back on when you're in the jail cell.

I looked around the net to see if there were anymore secrets and I came across this page on gamespot that has loads of other things you can do. Apparantly you can even eat The Ends parrot!

I'll post the link for anyone who's replaying the game and wants to do any of those things:

I like this site for MGS1-3 secrets. Use the frame on the left to navigate:

Thursday is like the best day in my life. It's the last day of my GCSE's, then I have 2 weeks of nothing but playing MGS4 and MGO then I'm going to Citerion for work experience :D

Yeah, the midnight launch deal is going to be troublesome... I'm basically going to go all out with my in-ear headphones (that thankfully block out a lot of sound), some very, very loud music, sunglasses, and a baseball bat (the GS manager told me I had permission to beat any spoiler-mongers to death!).


Also, just finished MGS2 last night for my replay. So... so good. What an incredible videogame. Now just MGS3 is left! 4-ish days should be enough! :D

Why not bring pepper spray? that way you can say some crazy looney tried to attack you and MGS fans and you all acted in defense.

Maybe it's been asked (haven't seen it), but for those playing the game, is there any kind of indication that trophies/"achievements" are included?

So, I finally had some success in getting that MGS4 bundle. In case anyone cares, it's finally up on Fry's website (frys.com). Still wasn't up on Sonystyle last time i checked though.

Thank f-ing god. I really didn't want to have to camp out at Circuit City to get that bundle. Atlanta, Ga USA is saved!

Since this is a tradition to the games, this isn't a spoiler. But the closest things to achievements are the animal ranks you get in the game.

Once this game comes out, I assume everyone will be making their impressions in this thread right, spoiler tagging any spoilers. I can't wait to see that, will be great to see some of your reactions.
