You'll be lost hardcore. The game story is mainly just a ton of wrapping shit up that have been building up across all the previous games.

It would be great if you can play the other ones, as they all link greatly. Buy the HD collection!!!! And dl MGS 1 off psn.

Yep, it'd be lovely if they relaunched it as a PSN download with all the extra content included.
I absolutely loved the beta for it. One of the best online experiences I've had. But for some unexplainable, inexcusable reason, I never played it in the retail game :/

Nah
I've played all the games multiple times and MGS4 still doesn't make alot of sense to me
Going in without playing any of the games though means you'll miss out on all the fanservice though, which is like the biggest reason most people enjoy it.
I'd say PS2-PS3 for control consistency. It's probably neat to see how the controls progress on a playstation controller.
So check out MGS1 on PSN, the recently released collection and MGS4

(I also like this because that means you can finally just load up chapter x or cutscene b w/o having to wait each time)
We need a RTTP GAF plays GAF-GOTYx2 winner MGS4 thread in August!
Mh I should finish the MGS HD collection until then...

So I have a new copy of MGS arriving tomorrow and I was wondering (as someone that's only played the NES games and the first MGS) what's a good site to catch up on the rest of the story so I'm not completely lost when I start it up?
Or is it not really necessary and you're filled in from the get go?

Here's a good place to get caught up: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050SX97I/?tag=neogaf0e-20
seriously, you need to at the very least play MGS3, if only because it's an amazing game.
you really should get the HD collection and at least play 2 and 3 before 4.

Man I had a feeling you guys were gonna tell me that.
Guess I'll be picking up the HD collection today. When does Peace Walker take place? I want to complete them in the proper order.

Chronologically, the games in the HD Collection go MGS3 > Peace Walker > MGS2.
But you'll have a much better time if you play them in release order, so MGS2 > MGS3 > PW.
Edit: And if at all possible, you really should play the others in the series, in the order they were released. If you can swing it, you should play MGS1/Twin Snakes > MGS2 > MGS3 > MGS4 > Peace Walker.

Surprisingly I do have a copy of Twin Snakes already but it's been in my backlog for awhile =/
Thanks Ein. I'll be playing them in order of release then. Hopefully I won't be too burned out once I finally start up Guns of the Patriots.

You would be spoilering yourself if you did that. Don't do that. Go in game release order.
MGS (fuck TTS), MGS2, MGS3, MGS4, MGS5/Peace Walker (fuck Port Ops)

Well I couldn't wait and went home on break to install MGS4, and although I am jumping the gun a bit here since I didn't even play it yet, I just wanna give some initial impressions from seeing it for about 15 minutes. And Im sorry guys, but I just couldn't take the advice to play through the other two first. I have a friend that said he'd fill in any gaps and answer any questions I have anyway. Plus there's always the internet and you guys ^_^
-The music playing simply on the XMB screen when the game selected is superb and I've had it it my head all afternoon.
-Installation screen was really cool watching Snake burn away those cigarettes. For a moment I actually thought he would take the entire 8 minute install to go through one. That would've been great.
-Really liked the music playing during the title screen. I watched the first Mission Briefing for a bit just to see if it would explain any of the moves or controls, but instead was treated to a cinematic of the Colonel explaining the mission. For a game that's 5 years old I think the character models look damn good. The camera cuts and options to mess around with them was a nice touch as well.
Yeah I know I ain't seen shit yet =P

Play at least MGS2 HD, that's by far the most important one for MGS4 I would say.
btw there is also the MGS Database app on PSN that allows you to read the backstories etc.
Also, why don't you wait for the patch before already starting up MGS4???

This is the biggest question I'd have.

Because I couldn't wait and needed something fresh to play, and at this point I really won't mind replaying it for trophies.
And Spiffy, I promise I will definitely get to MGS3......after I play 4 =P
Ill check out that MGS database Dave, thanks!
You're ruining the experience for yourself big time by not playing 2 and 3 prior to 4, trust me.

Well so be it then =P That sort of thing really doesn't bother me. I've read the backstories to 2 & 3 already and I don't mind having a lot of unanswered questions during my first playthrough. It will only give me more drive to learn more about the mythos through playing the previous two games. I don't see what the big deal is about playing them out of order. I'm not the type of person that will have issues putting the story together when all is said and done.
