About the San Francisco event, I'll probably be getting there around 12 noon (hopefully). Are you allowed to save places in lines? Like if I show up and already see people from GAF up ahead in the line, can I just move up? Think the store people will have a problem with that? :lol

This is why we should have a meet-up of some sorts. After being burned twice by the Final Fantasy events (even though I got a t-shirt at one of them), having some form of organized group is the way to go as there are always people coming/going for various things - learned that when I went to the Nintendo SSBB tournament with friends.

So...who's up for making the thread for the meet-up?

Crap. My Gamestop was listed as one of the stores that would be doing the Midnight launches, but I called them and they said they have not be given any indication that they will be.

Was that list that was posted on the GAF forums an official mandate? Should I put my faith in that or should I assume it is a no go due to what the store told me?

There you go, good sir! Those are actually the controls for MGO, but I assume they are exactly the same for MGS4. :D

Anyone else get a bit excited and then let down when the song (MGS4 OST spoiler track)
"Father & Son"
hints at the old theme ever so slightly but doesn't continue? It burns me so bad.

I thought triangle while in prone in any direction is play dead. To do the scout crawl didn't all you have to do was slighlty move the analog stick.

Also R2 becomes a secondary fire button when L1 is pressed, for instance it shoots grenades from a launcher attachment.

Press triangle firmly to play dead, tap triangle to flip over...you're correct about the scout crawl.

I updated the gameplay section with controls and I would appreciate if Samuari and whoever wants to gives it a look to make sure I got everything correct.

Just what we were talking about above. Hold down triangle in any prone position to play dead. To scout crawl you lightly move the analog stick while prone.

There are sixaxis controls if you want. Tilt the controler up and down (like a steering wheel) to take off octocamo. When in a dumpster raise or lower the controller to peak out of the dumpster.

Want MK2 controls?

Thanks for posting that bit about taking off octocamo.... I've always wondered how to get back to default if I wanted to. Was hoping there'd be a way for the actual game.

Are they a mall store? Plenty of malls have two stores; there's one nearby my home where only one of them is doing a midnight. :D

I have a theory about Naomi and the purple flowers based on the courage is solid trailer

I just watched the courage is solid trailer again. In 1 scene, Naomi asks Snake, "You don't trust me?"...the way she sounded...doesn't give me a good feeling...like she could be working as a spy or something...and at the same time, she's holding the purple flowers...could those flowers be affecting snake or have some physical...what's the word..

I think I have a problem. I have a total lack of interest in anything right now because of MGS4. I have many games on the back burner that I could stick in and play to pass the time.... but I look at the games and just shrug it off and go right back online (aka: here). Oh well. One and half weeks and I'll be cured....

I didn't beat 3. Am I a candidate for this one? I mean I'm still going to play it, but will I be lost without 3 (I watched that little history of DVD that came with the beta BTW).

I've got the exact same problem. My friend is gonna be asking for his copy of Godhand back soon and I've been neglecting to play it because of my anticipation for MGS4. The wait fucking sucks.

Yep, same here.

Got a huge backlog full of PS2 games especially RPG goodies, the PS3 and 360 is sitting there with plenty of great games to be played to boot, hell even got a quad-core PC with an 8800GT card with Crysis and Orange Box begging to be played......but my mind is like only on MGS4.

I keep telling myself to just play my games like normal, but I can't for some reason....just knowing the long wait for MGS4 is nearly over is simply eating away at me!! :(
