Due to complaints about spoilers in the mgs thread, I found it applicable to make an mgs4 thread and shit.

also, please remember to use spoiler tags if you're posting spoilers. if you're not sure which button on the text editor is the spoilers button it's this one:

Has anyone heard the MGS4 theme yet? It's awesome. http://youtube.com/watch?v=lGf2b1H91JA&feature=related

Haha, god thank you. I went into that other topic complaining that people were posting spoilers on other sites...so their response was with other spoilers in that thread....pissed me off so much so I stopped viewing this section.

Well, someone has uploaded the ending of MGS4 on Daily Motion. Part 3 still hasn't processed for some stupid reason, but it's alright to just skip ahead to part 4. You guys may watch if you like, I'm spoiling it for myself because the job I had lined up fell through and so now I have no idea when I'll be able to get a PS3.

Just to warn you guys, manly tears will be shed. I don't think I've ever cried before at someone trying to light up a cigar and dropping their lighter. Touching doesn't even begin to describe Snake and Big Boss's talk. Oh, and the CQC hug was lulz.

Difference between E3 '06 15 min preview and now.

Which do you guys like now? Kojima himself stats disappointment with the new graphics. When they did it them the PS3 was supposed to be more powerful. So they changed everything. Less light more facial texture mostly.

I can't choose. I'm kinda split half and half with a lot of those images. I like the new textures and attention to detail, but I really like the lighting in the first for most of the areas.

I dunno, I like the new better. That yellow filter on the old trailer looks like it was put in place just to mask weaker graphics, and the graveyard scene had too much lenseflare (shocking, I know). Darker lighting effects do go along with the darker, grittier aspect of the game...but really, it's just more natural to me that it would be really bright. I mean it IS in the Middle East after all.

However, I saw a new trailer on GT for that "game" Afrika...and the graphics actually looked weaker than they did in the trailer we saw of it years ago. So something weird is definitely going on with the graphical capabilities of the system.

Most of the old trailers for games were made back when the PS3 was supposed to be $1000+ with MUCH better power and such. But to appeal to the average spender they dumbed down the system. Which is a disappointment cause I was willing to spend $2000 on the system.

I do agree though, that the darker graphics now go along with the game aspect, but I do have to agree with Kojima in disappointment of what I expected and how it is. Either way though I know I'll still love it.

I played MGS4 last week and it's practically immaculate. It's literally everything you've ever wanted an MGS game to be, I love it.

I have only one complaint about it: the fact that enemy soldiers seem compelled to re-spawn right bloody next to you. A few times I was hiding and a group of enemy soldiers re-spawned directly opposite me.

It's very annoying.

Respawn? I've beaten it a total of 11 times now on every level and I've never seen somebody respawn.
In some levels, they come from ledges on the edge of the map, thats how they keep coming. But thats about it.

I get respauning enemies a lot when I fight the likes of Crying Wolf and it is a pain in the arse. Not to mention that mission where you have to tail the resistance member in Eastern Europe. Bloody respauning troops refuse to stay dead.

And I have to say though, well done on the beast bosses, never before have I shown any pity to a boss I had to kill. But seriously, those stories were quite shocking. The last fight was a pain in the arse at times too, though I liked the music used too.
