Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4:Guns of the Patriots looks to be the best title in the series, I cant wait to get it I'm preordering mine tomorrow. I can't believe no one else made a mgs4 thread? Well the synopsis for it is this, snake's last mission, I think he's somewhere in iraq looking for liquid. Time will only tell how badass this games going to be.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, release date: 06/12/08
OUT NOW

Re: metal gear solid 4: guns of the patriots
So you can already pre-order. Does it come with anything special?

Re: metal gear solid 4: guns of the patriots
Yeah, I already pre-ordered mine like last week when I got DMC4. The game is now scheduled for release in June, I can't wait. I was going to make this thread when the game came out, but I guess now is fine.
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
yeah i looked and looked but couldn't find a thread anywhere. so i made one >} there is still going to be a five though but it's about raiden and it's directly after mgs2. Raidens the new cyborg ninja!!!!!

I'd read before that Hideo Kojima liked Raiden more than Snake as a main character... what this means is that he's killing off Snake so that people won't complain when he makes another MGS game about Raiden. They'll have no choice because Snake is dead. If that's not the case, then why would he make these two games out of chronological order?
That makes me a sad panda.

yeah snake will be missed but raiden is also badass plus cyborg ninja i mean did you see the vid of him fighting vaamp?MadDogMike wrote:UGH!

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
No matter how cool it is that Raiden gets an awesome part in MGS4, that won't change my mind. If Snake dies, MGS should die with it, it's just not going to be the same at all without him.
Nobody plays the MGS series because they like Raiden, they play it because they like Snake. Snake has a significant history and connection to the story (what with being a clone of Big Boss and all), Raiden is just some regular recruit who happened to become wrapped up in it by chance.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
First of all, speak for yourself. I really like Raiden. I don't play MGS for either Snake or Raiden, I play it because it's a legendary game franchise. If Kojima himself decides to do another game after this with Raiden as the main charcter, that's fine by me. Snake will definitely be missed though, he's awesome too. Also, Raiden is anything but a regular recruit. Anyway, I thought this game was supposed to take place shortly after MGS2, do you mean five (which I've heard nothing about mind you) is suppose to take place between 2 and 4? I'm gonna have to go look into this.

I've heard nothing about part 5 either, at the time of writing my posts I was taking fujinsan's word for it.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Funny aside: After playing MGS1 and really liking the Cyborg Ninja character I had gone to use his codename "Deepthroat" in online games and Chat and the likes, thinking it was some kind of name related to him having a sore, deep (in a bass kinda way) voice. Little did I know what deepthroating really meant until I got all those cyber-IMs in IRC asking if I was into deepthroating...fujinsan wrote:yeah snake will be missed but raiden is also badass plus cyborg ninja i mean did you see the vid of him fighting vaamp?

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Also, now that HD-DVD is officially a failed format (Toshiba dropped support), I can see myself getting a PS3 when this game comes out.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
The only movie studio still behind HD DVD is Paramount, which is a really big one. But the days of HD DVD are numbered.
Also, anyone know if you get anything special for pre-ordering MGS4?

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
it was a direct quote from raidens girlfriend in subsistence, "There's going to be a five right?" is what she said. Also in an interview with one of the developers he stated " We've decided to finish the story of snake." He said nothing of raiden. I personally think it's not going to be called metal gear solid anymore, I think they're going to make a completely different series all together.MadDogMike wrote:I've heard nothing about part 5 either, at the time of writing my posts I was taking fujinsan's word for it.

not sure about this but i think a special dvd and doll of snakeAlso, anyone know if you get anything special for pre-ordering MGS4?
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Heh, that's pretty funny. However, you should know that's not what they're referring to in the game. Originally a deep-throat was like an informant. Someone who supplied a detective with information, like a snitch. It later became known for...well you know.Aetherfukz wrote:Funny aside: After playing MGS1 and really liking the Cyborg Ninja character I had gone to use his codename "Deepthroat" in online games and Chat and the likes, thinking it was some kind of name related to him having a sore, deep (in a bass kinda way) voice.

I'll take that as a YES. Don't worry my GF is into that as well........
LOL, I'm only kidding.....Well at least about the first part.
Seriously though....
FYI, Deep Throat was the alias given to Deputy Director of the FBI William Mark Felt, Sr., the secret source who leaked information about the involvement of U.S. President Richard Nixon's administration in the first Watergate break-in and subsequent events that came to be known as the Watergate scandal.
Let's put a smile on that face...............
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Yes, and then it became a code name for an informant. I've heard it used in that regard for more than just Mark Felt. Just as it was used in MGS, and several detective stories. *shrugs*
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
all i have to say is that mgs3 set the bar on how you are suppose to end a game. NO ending has ever come that close, except The Watchmen. It was the most satisfying ending that brought a tear to my eye. And if it is true, if it Snake's last mission, I want it be glorious!
I have my eyes set on this game, i dig the old look, the new style of gameplay, and the risks that Kojima is doing to making this game.

MGS2 > MGS3
MGS3 has better gameplay though, mostly because of CQC.

Nobody cares.
Here's something people do care about though:

30 Bucks for 3 games (with MG and MG2 included in MGS3:S) is awesome as hell.

30 dollars for 3 games I already own and have played to death.
Great!
Who cares?
Not me.

Re: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Wow, I can't believe you said that. Only because so many people whine and complain about some of the stuff in MGS2. Personally I love them both about equally, but for different reasons. The ending to MGS2 is my fav out of the series so far, but 3 was close. A lot of people complain about it being too convoluted or whatever, but I thought it was genius.Femto wrote:MGS2 > MGS3
