Deconstructed: Metal Gear Solid 4's E3 trailer

How much do you like Metal Gear? Unless you're dressing up like Solid Snake to go grocery shopping, probably not as much as freelancing superstar, "Downtown" Dan Dormer. Yes, the man of a thousand nick names has hopped on board the analyzation train and stood on the rails long enough to deliver this in-depth look at the latest Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer.

Your asking me that? I'ts my favorite game ever. I posted this many times but here it is again.

I own every (canonical) game:
Metal Gear - MSX version on disc 2 of Subsistence on PS2
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake - MSX version on disc 2 of Subsistence on PS2
Metal Gear Solid - Playstation 1
Metal Gear Solid: Special Missions - Playstation 1
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes - Gamecube
Metal Gear Solid 2: Son of Liberty (incl. the making of MGS2) - Playstation 2
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (incl. The Document of MGS2)- Playstation 2
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (incl. The Metal Gear Saga vol. 1)- Playstation 2
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (incl. the disc Existence)- Playstation 2
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops - PSP (And I don't even own a PSP!...yet that is, waiting for PSP slim to be released)
Metal Gear Ac!d - PSP
Metal Gear Ac!d 2 - PSP
Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel - PSP

Metal Gear games that I don't have (directly):
Metal Gear - NES (Bad port of the MSX and story is a little different than the true MSX game)
Snake's Revenge - NES (Non canonical game hated by most Metal Gear fans, but we must never forget that without this game Kojima would have never made Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and the further sequels to this great series)
Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel - GBC (Non canonical, but fun and good game. Looks alot like Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, I have this one on ROM)

That's how much I like the Metal Gear series. Kojima, your a true master artist and game designer.

Its funny all this hype over a movie..Oh! Its so exciting to watch a video game movie, but darn. Now I have to pay the boring video game, but wait! Why doesnt the (VERY LONG VIDEOS) look like or play like the game? Oh well, it was a good video. Right?

Thank you,
The way I see it

To Darknight and Hotshot
I am just tired of all the Hype and no demo. When I see that you PS3 fans have played the demo and you Love it...Great, then I was wrong. And by the way "Who in the world has to know the story of Any game to enjoy it?" Like a fine wine,or a great dinner.If it smells good,looks good and taste good. "Its good". I have played the game and it was ok. What I don't like is the CAMERA VIEW. It looks like "Jake the Snake" is a doll moving around the screen and I just cant get all excited about that, if you know what I mean.

Thank you
The way I see it :)

This game is definitely one of the reasons I bought a PS3 day 1. I had been losing hope with all of the lost exclusives, but after E3, with this trailer and seeing Killzone 2 played live, I'm regaining it. I am happy with my PS3 now, but I am really looking forward to finally having some games available for me to be completely immersed in. I know MGS4 will be a title like that, and this video only further proves it. Way to go "Downtown," I've got to say your analysis seems spot on. I'm not sold on the 4th member of Foxhound not being Raiden (or some clone of him), but I've got to say that you really have your MGS story well put together, and you did an excellent job deconstructing this trailer.
