Just as some interesting trivia... The song here to you originates from an Italian film Sacco e Vanzetti in 1971. The film is a documentary of sorts on two men...
Possibly MAJOR ending spoilers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Sacco
Ferdinando Nicola Sacco (April 22, 1891 August 23, 1927) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti (June 11, 1888 August 23, 1927) were two Italian-born American laborers and anarchists, who were tried, convicted and executed via electrocution on August 23, 1927 in Massachusetts for the 1920 armed robbery and murder of two pay-clerks in South Braintree, Massachusetts.
If you consider the ending Kojima originaly envisioned for MGS, this could say a lot.

I fucking hate reviewers now. Never before have I been so jealous of their benefits and privileges. They already know what happens, they already know the answers to the burning questions.
BALLS.

Nothing on huge spoilers from MGS4. I'd rather not even see MGS1/2/3/PO/MG1/2 even spoiled for those are have not fully entrenched themselves in the series.

Speaking of spoilers for MGS3, in another thread a guy had
the part in MGS3 where the game forces you to pull the trigger to kill The Boss spoiled for him.

Yeah, I know what Kojima had originally planned for the ending of the MGS4 and I really think they choose that song for the ending very early in development and just decided to keep it anyway when his team protested the shit out of Kojima's original idea
Here's my theory about Love Theme, the track we hear in the E3 2006 trailer( POTENTIAL SPOILERS)
I really think Meryl is gonna bite the bullet in the first chapter of the game thanks to this fucking song. I mean, where else are they gonna use a sad, middle-eastern musical piece? The name is just so perfect for a scene involving Snake witnessing Meryl's untimely demise, and the title of the song is you know, sort of fitting

That was once of the most

Kojima originally wanted Snake and Otacon to die via execution at the end of MGS4, but his team protested it so he relented and changed it

Your odd, but got to love your enthusiasm for the insanity of MGS2 and soon to come MGS4.
This seems like it will be the best MGS gameplay wise as well, so I am happy.

Several reviews have really praised it for how open they've made the gameplay. Not just for the different play styles you can use, but there are many different routes you can take now to reach your goal.

Not really any spoilers, but just to be safe...
Didn't either the IGN or Eurogamer comment on Meryl led Foxhound being the scene of much of the games romantic commedy? Somehow that gave me an image of Johnny groping on Meryl, hopelessly pursuing her throughout the game. Maybe his farts and diarreah turn her off?
I remember Ryan pretty much confirming as a reply to IGN`s MGS4 wishlist that there will be no romance between SS and Meryl. Plus the PSM preview made Meryl sound like the ultimate bitch in this game.

MGS3 was already amazing when it came to the sheer amount of options the game gave you to tackle a scenario, and it looks like MGS4 is dead-set leave it in the dust.

Don't they play
Love Theme at the beginning of the Middle East scenario?

Hm, I haven't been reading reviews in fear of running into game-ruining spoilers, but there are other girls in the game beside Meryl, so the whole romantic comedy thing can still work with her dead, I think. Anyway, I haven't really convinced myself that Meryl is gonna die early in the game, it's just that love theme got me thinking of the possibility

Hopefully the ad campaign for MGS4 starts up next week. The Haze campaign was running a week in advance of its release so there's no reason MGS4 shouldn't get the same treatment.

MGS4 would have been like the perfect game for viral marketing and all that other crap due to the nature of the story-line. I'm actually surprised that they didn't do anything that involved the The Patriots in their ad-campaign, specially on the internet. Controlling the flow of digital information and all that jazz.
it's all just wild speculation, man. It's not like anyone here(except the journalists) know what's actually gonna happen in the game.

You and me both. I want my artbook.
SamuraiX- said:Weird. I thought they discontinued the art book. Nice. But it doesn't really look like anything special. It basically looks like a replica of the MGS4 pamphlet from TGS 2007, but now in English.
Its better than nothing.

Wow BruceLeeRoy!!! This thread is nuts!!!! Great Job!

By the time you get to that part of the game, you're bound to have put the controller down in expectation of a very long cutscene, but instead, the letterbox goes away, and you're set infront of something that is unprecedented in games like MGS3. What happens goes against everything you thought of before, and you realize what the game wants you to do. Its shocking, to say the least, and EVA's speech at the end gives it that much more impact.

Seriously, I never got why people could never just overlook what they did during gameplay before a cutscene. Meaning: Why not just pretend you weren't exactly as accurate as a health bar may have you believe. Same goes for those who complain about what happens to your character. Pretend they aren't hitting you... at least in vital organs.
