The PS3-exclusive title is slated for a simultaneous world release in early 2008.
The game looks absolutely incredible: Kojima's signature attention to detail and penchant for boundary-pushing software has carried over to the PS3, but Ars Technica thought some of the moments were especially interesting, and these are only just a few highlights that you may not have noticed:
1:00 - Even in a poor-quality FLV, MGS4 looks gorgeous. Check out Snake's hair.
1:20 - A peek at the new equipment system, which has grown more RPG-esque than previous titles in the series. In addition to using camo and general equipment, it appears that Snake will be able to equip specific items on specific parts of his body.
2:42 - The new reactive camo system is sick; Snake seamlessly becomes part of the wall.
3:39 - Snake is more mobile when prone now, as he can quickly roll left and right.

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.
MGS4 has to be the most grapichally advanced game I've ever seen. I'm not I think that it could be in the same league with Crysis....or maybe just a little less. But for sure this game is the best looking console game ever created. I've seen some Xbox fanboys saying...."nothing special, looks like crap"....but I know that they are all just jelus. This is the best looking game I've ever seen!
It's a game that finaly "WOW"-ed me truly!
Can't wait to get me hands on it...just like every single other PS3 owner out ther. There is like 5million PS3's sold right?? I bet you that within 2 weeks there will be at least 4million copies of MGS4 sold! Just watch!
And the XBox 360 and the XBox 360 got 82 exclusives but the PS3 has 106 exclusives and oh yeah this game looks exactly like the trailer that they showed at E3 in real time.
and @ Says You.. yea well Kojima neva showed something other that in-game cutscenes and gameplay.
The trailer is amazing but that 'analysis' (given in the source article) is pretty weak.
its official
I HAVE GOT MGS4 fever !!
I won't be able to stop talking or thinking about this game
untill it drops
I can't wait to play it.
Kojima always has surprises in store for the gamer, and this one will be no different.
I like this game so much
EVERYONE in here has gotten a BUBBLE and an AGree from ME !!
