I am pretty sure he bought GTA4 because of all the 10's, so he's just being consistent.

Thats good to hear. When I first heard about Liquid Ocelot I wasnt sure if I was going to like the idea. Ocelot was my favourite MGS character and although I didnt mind Liquid snake taking over his consciousness from time to time, I didnt want to see it happen permanently (I'm just presuming that is what has happened, since he's now called liquid ocelot. For all I know he could still have the split personality).Ynos Yrros said:
(VA stuff about liquid ocelot, I dont know if it should be spoiler tagged or not, but I'll do it just in case):
The main reason I was worried about Liquid taking over Ocelots body was because I thought Ocelot would sound like Liquid (cam clarke) the whole time and that would have ruined ocelot. The good thing is that they stuck with pat zimmermans voice, so ocelot will sound like ocelot. Its going to be a little weird seeing ocelot talk to Snake as his brother, but judging by Edge's comment about liquid ocelot being a superb villan, it looks like they did a good job.

I have about 30 new avatars to post on Monday so hopefully anybody with a dupe can find one they like.
Acid08 said:Well it used to be the Sony Metreon. I remember that from when it first opened up
Yeah, it's on June 14th. You should definitely be able to bring your own copy since it would be released already. That would be seriously lame and make absolutely no sense if you couldn't. lol

jdnation said:Apparently EDGE's review says that the latter part of MGS4 strays into a bit of 'MGS2' type territory levels of craziness... I for one am pleased!
Awesome if true. I was hoping Kojima wouldn't dumb himself down just because of all the whining about MGS2. A true artist doesn't let others taint his work.
BTW is Gamestop going to stay open until midnight on the night before?
Mine will be about 2 hours. I'll probably leave 3 hours in advance though, just because of how unpredictable San Francisco highway traffic can be.
The one thing I want at this event is to get the game signed by The Koj, Ryan Payton, Ken Imaizumi, AND Yumi Kikuchi, who will all be there according to Ryan. I hope you aren't just allowed one signature and then you have to get your ass out of there. I especially hope they don't just give you a random person to sign you game. If it can only be one of those four, I think it's pretty damn obvious who's signature everyone is gonna want. :lol

Acid08 said:Oh man yes
I kinda doubt it... since he'll probably be signing autographs the whole time... maybe after the signings. heh
Even if I can get some pics of him and everyone else signing copies of the game, I'll be satisfied.
Oh, I'll get my picture with him. No way the jerks at the PS Store can stop me. But seriously, I hate that place. Every single time I've been there I don't see anyone buying anything. One time I went and saw stack of the Greatest Hits FF7's. I wish I had bought a few.SamuraiX- said:I kinda doubt it... since he'll probably be signing autographs the whole time... maybe after the signings. heh

Awesome OP(s)!
I've followed a bit too much of GTAIV (though I ignored the info thread up until a month prior to release)...I've kept away from this so I know very little (don't even know if controls have been changed from MGS3)...I probably won't check this thread until after I've passed the game!
But I did want to say, that is an awesome, awesome official thread info post.

Few things:
1. MGS4 Website is updated with PSP Wallpapers, though the newest batch of it (Meryl) leads to 404 i.e. no proper link for it... yet.
2. http://youtube.com/watch?v=D_cijxtmIuk HOW THE FUCK DID I MISS THIS? Must have been lost under all the spoiler out there.
Found this while surfing the Japanese MGS4 Website. New for me, must be old for you folks
3. http://www.konami.jp/mgs4/jp/regain/ Shows that the drink will be shipped with FOXHOUND dogtags :O Once again, i didn't know that.

Just read the EDGE review.
They seem less negatively nuanced towards MGS4, unlike Eurogamer. I don't know what was up with the guy who wrote the review for EG - seems like they just wanted the hits after all.
The main complains seem to be about the long ending and multiple long cutscenes. I'm guessing they didn't like MGS2 that much either, but to me the lenghty cutscenes are fine.
One thing I was sorta shocked was how they pointed out the graphics are bad in close-up. I'm not talking ground/wall textures, but the the character models. I seriously don't get this - the character models look great in screens and trailers yet the one specific screenshot EDGE highlighted snake's model (the detail on his suit) looks PS2 calibur. Where as the other screens in their review use the same screens we've seen before and the character models look the best in the biz!
weird. Well I hope its definitely the later.
I'm happy they pointed out that Liquid Ocleot is a superb villan. They also pointed out that Otacon was one of the best characters apart from snake.

To GAFers going to SF:
On friday, I'll make a thread for the official meetup:
We should try to meet up before they start making a line or something (hopefully, it won't be something like Kojima and gang being there all freaking day from morning). I want to have us organized and together in line. The reason for this is for a potential photo opportunity that has all of the GAFers together, perhaps behind kojipro.
And most of all, I want us saluting.
If someone's bringing a friend that isn't part of GAF, that'd help a lot for picture taking.
EDIT: I know everyone will be busy playing MGS4, but please try to find the thread. It'll be spoiler-free (hopefully).

intriguing. I think the character models look superb myself, but I guess most of my admiration for the graphics come from the amazing art-direction MGS4 has. I'm sure you'll be able to find some really bad looking places in the game if you look hard enough though.
edit: All this talk about the meet-up is making me so fucking jealous. I wanna meet kojima too goddammit.

The difficulty in writing a review of this magnitude is the constant struggle to remain objective. There is so much good to say about this title and so very little negative that its one-sidedness might seem a bit unfounded to the reader; I assure you I will do my best in giving as balanced a perspective as I can without giving away too much information. The game undoubtedly captivates from the moment you place the disc into the Playstation 3 and does not let up for its thirty hour duration. Following an opening that literally left me rattled, I found myself having to put the controller down for a few minutes in order to properly gather my thoughts. Like any title affiliated with the name Kojima, Metal Gear Solid 4s comprehensive story, exotic art direction, Hollywood-esque cut scenes, memorable characters, sharp dialogue, and overall quality surpasses anything yet seen on the Playstation 3, and quite possibly the past decade.
As many of you have seen from the dozens of Metal Gear Solid 4 trailers in the recent months, the Middle East has become a war-zone for private military companies vying for power in the region. Shells explode around you, tracers whiz by your head and soldiers gasp their dying breaths all while you take control of Solid Snake, the rapidly aging war-vet and his robotic sidekick, MKII. Stealth fans will take quite a liking to Otacons prototype robot; hes an absolute blast to operate with the Dualshock 3 (MKII is no longer controlled using SixAxis) and is incredibly useful to reconnoiter areas out of Snakes view. Snake also makes excellent use of his Octocamo suit, which blends into most any texture in the games expansive levels. For those whod prefer to stand out like a sore thumb with guns a-blazing, the cover system proves advantageous and exceedingly useful. To summarize, the only film I can recall that has this intense an opening forty-five minutes is Saving Private Ryan.
its comments like this from reviewers that has me intrigued. it is not very often that you read about a huge emotional component in a video game.
this game could end up being very special. the kind of release that advances how games are designed and played.

You can find flaws like that in any game though if you look.

Was what I was trying to say, basically.
SamuraiX, are you sure you'll be able to bring a video camera? That'd be really helpful. We could splice together the wait, getting in, introducing everyone from GAF on camera, and finally, getting to see the man himself.
Acid08, do you think your friend could take a photo for us if we can pull this off?
And finally, does anyone have a tripod for their camera (or a camera w/ one of this dandy features that allow for the picture to be crisp even w/ motion)? blurred photos suck.
