The pic of two soldiers was released before the GC event and of course people were quick to jump on "downgradeton" and the like without much comparable data and context and then the trailer hit with the same sequence of the picture being shown....and people pretty much shut upped.
 
Even with this low quality it's apparent that the graphics are really good and not only that Snake will have even more ways to interact with enemies. Can't wait for the gameplay video.

Edit: Can't stop looking at these damn scans!!
 
Things of note:

Snake no longer can hide in just a box....apparantly he's running around underneath a barrel in that small pic on the top right of the page.

MKii thing can pick-pocket enemies for ammo.

Snake can wear the solid-eye.

Snake also has an optional mask which is an extension of octocam that disguises his face as well (pictured in the background).

These are all gameplay shots.

Octocam is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen in a videogame in my life.
 
MGS4 scans are looking awesome, great gameplay camera;

On that note, i gotta give props to RE4, which set the bar for cinematic gameplay cams. GOW, Mass Effect, MGS4 owe Capcom a huge hugo-style hug.
 
Hmmm, so, do you guys think that these new shots pretty much confirm the possibility (heh) of middle-est / desert-ish environments only for MGS4 exterior 'stages'? I seem to remember that they were focusing on that kind of game world, but I still hope that we'll get to visit 'countries' with different architecture / style in the game.
 
I'm really, really excited about the fact that MGS4 will use a camerapoint similar to RE4. I was never a big fan of the first-person camera, and I think replacing it with a sort of third-person camera will be a major improvement.

Kojima himself said how he is showing trailers that focus on the middle east as one of the locations. Apparently there are around 5 or so locations.

I'll laugh with you to my friend.

I don't remember Kojima giving a number of the locatoins.

Do you have a link?

QFT! I don't know why some people insist in doubting Kojima, it was obvious the man would deliver. The haters have been owned. :lol
 
They better not go to an RE4 style camera. While that camera is fine for shooting things right infront of you with laser assisted sight, it downright sucks when trying to shoot anything that's remotely far away.

Having a first person view where you know the center of the screen is where your shot is going to go>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>'cinematic' camera.

That and MGS3 convinced me iron sights are for real men.
 
Razoric said:
what are the pages saying about the game? any new info?
Not really.

Most of the text is simply making assumptions based on the shots and such about features and items appearing in the game. The one thing that stood out to me was the appearance of Mark II as a way to attack soldiers. The next generation cardboard box (the steel drum) is also mentioned. :P

I don't think there is anything else that we didn't already know about in there, though. Unfortunately, I couldn't make out a whole lot on the last page (attacking the enemy and so on). Too blurry.
 
Awesome, as expected it looks just as good as the cutscenes. Hopefully we get video right after the Konami conference.

It looks like RE4 style camera is only in screenshots where Snake is next to a wall, I wouldn't be surprised the FPV is still used in the open. This new camera may only replace the 3rd person angle the game took when you tried to shoot around corners in previous games.
 
We're only being shown middle east stuff. Wonder how many locations the game will have...I'm sure there's a few surprises.

Its hard to tell, with it being one of Kojima's trailers certain cuts could be made to add camera views that don't actually take place in the actual game. In those screens you can see the old top down MG camera, the behind the back cam, and a first person cam. Kojima did say they could end up with 2 camera choices early on but that might've changed.

I'm assuming the resi-evil type camera will replace the overhead viewpoint for relatively close combat amongst many adversaries and that the first person viewpoint with retain it's original function: precision aiming.

This is good. I was wondering after the E3 trailer how they were going to handle that, because people would obviously notice a floating head in front of walls.

imo dont expect to see new environments until the game launches. He did the same thing with MGS2 and Raiden...
 
Are we 100% sure that's Snake? Look at the body buld here

Now look at how big he is here

It might just be the angle but Snake is rather muscular and that camo figure doesn't really look as big. Atleast not to me?

It's impossible to argue with the majority of GAF because for the most part they're firm believers that the first things they see from a game is the final stuff. This game is still a good year off.

Good, they changed it back to the blue suit.

So grandpa Snake in the blue sneaking suit and grey hair. I wonder why they went with the orange weapon straps though over the straps that match his suit color?

The FOX-HOUND soldier is covering most of his body. You can see the outlines of shoulder straps on the cloaked person, further suggesting that it's Snake. Also, he looks to be standing in a CQC pose with his knife out. :D

Truest thing I've heard, today.
 
I swear to God, every ****ing time i think, "Gee, you know what? I think i can hold off getting a PS3 for another year" i always end up punching myself in the face for thinking that every time i see new MGS4 material. Holy ****, that's some wicked shit right there!
