This is one of the most polished products in the history of gaming. The production values will put Hollywood to shame with photo-realistic graphics and really good sound. The game runs smooth on the PS3 and despite the detailed textures and explosions, the frame rate doesn't drop and offers very smooth gameplay. The Octocamo suit and its changing textures really show off the efforts put by the team in making a graphically superior game.
The amount of detail in each character's facial expressions during the cut-scenes is remarkable. The cut-scenes have amazing sequences, and must be watched. The presentation is just better than any other game ever. This is a game that has set a really high benchmark in terms of production values and I don't see any other game even coming close for years.
This is a spoiler-free review, which means I won't get into the details of the plot, which ties up all the loose ends left behind by MGS 2. Gamers worldwide had complaints about MGS 2 as it left the plot hanging in the air. But MGS 4 well and truly clears all those doubts."
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Game creator Hideo Kojima is and probably will always be best-known for his creation and stewardship of the Metal Gear series at Konami, which since his departure has been more-or-less on permanent hiatus (don't mention Survive). In his almost three decades these games evolved to the point where they predicted certain problems of the information age (MGS 2), took aim at contemporary topics like Guantanamo Bay (MGS: Ground Zeroes), and ended on a profound sense of sadness about our species' inability to break the cycles of global conflict (MGS V).
It's not clear what sparked this reflection, but Kojima's been thinking about Metal Gear Solid 4, an entry that was (and unfortunately still remains) a PlayStation 3 exclusive. In that entry the player controls an aged Solid Snake in the year 2014, caught up in a civil war being fought between Private Military Companies (PMCs).
He was always ahead with this series. MSG1 taught me about the importance of passing on our genes into future generations but in a responsible way, for they are bound to what we experienced in our lifetime. Sons of liberty taught me about global control and simulation runs to test society in a grand scale, the importance and dangers of control of information. MGS3 taught me about patriotism and how that can blind you into doing things you never would have otherwise, all for the sake of politicians who only see you as another pawn in their grand scheme of things. MSG4 taught me war is inevitable and always orchestrated because it's great for the economy. Soon simulation systems will start dictating who goes to war and why, all run through proxies. Privatization of military company are already here. We already started to see how a small group of elites dictates everything that happens. Nothing is done, nothing happens without strings being pulled.
If it wasn't for the retconning of how FOXDIE works, including clunky scenes with Naomi and Liquid, MGS4 would be a perfect game. There are so many gameplay options. It felt like us PS3 owners got something truly unique and special.

Edge and Eurogamer can suck it. The multitude of tens have proven that they are either bias or were paid off by MS.
Kojima: "MGS4 is made for the movie theater. PS3 is the movie theater."
Bots: "but, but, but movies come out on DVD eventually. Just like movies, MGS4 will come to the 360. We know it will!"
Who is laughing now bots! HAHA!
Kojima: "MGS4 is PS3 exclusive. Ok, just live with it."
Bots: "MGS4 sucks! We have splinter cell and gears of war blows MGS4 out of the water! And anyway, MGS4 will come to the 360 anyway. Mark our words! MGS4 will flop and then it will come!"
HAHA WHO IS LAUGHING NOW HILARIOUS AND DELUSIONAL XBOTS!
Kojima: "we pushed the PS3 and CELL to its known limits"
Bots: "HAHA! PS3 SUCKS! Graphics dont show! proof that PS3 is not better than 360! HAHA!"
Who is laughing now bots!
Kojima: "I would rate MGS4 a 1 out of 10"
Bots: "HAHA! KOJIMA ADMITS FAILURE OF PS3! Kojima admits that MGS4 is crap! HAHA!"
Who is laughing now, bots! OWNED!
Kojima: "When we first started developing the game, we expected that the next gen could do much more. We wanted much more. But in the end, we could not."
Bots: "HAHA! Kojima not satisfied with PS3! KOJIMA ADMITS PS3 is FAILURE! Haha, PS3 SUCKS!"
Who is laughing now, xbots? OWNED AND C0CKSLAPPED!
OVER 53 PERFECT 10 SCORES! AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS BETWEEN 9 and 9.9 ---> BIATCHSLAPPED!
some reviewers talk too much out of there ass .He doesn't see any game even come close for years i say resident evil 5 may even Alan wake and definitely gears of war 2 in graphics
I cant imagine what this game would have gotten if it was a 360 exclusive. 100/10 and a metacritic of 1000/100
