HOT

AWESOME! I can't wait!! Also, does anyone know if the MGO Beta is for people who preordered the game in April only (same with the disk)? Because mine's been preordered since january, and I see no reason why I should be left out for anticipating it enough to guarantee a copy early.

Looks like I've found my new wallpaper.

God? Are you listening? Please give me this game now. Please?! No? Ok fine... /cry

Sad face. I wish I could play this in June. Maybe I'll win the lottery so I could buy a PS3 guilt-free.

This may be the only game series where it's killing me that I can't play the sequel simply because of the story. Much love for Metal Gear.

These are from the TGS trailer if I'm not mistaken. Cool screens, though.

is this actually gameplay footage....

if it is , its looking great compare to previous mgs series.

Looking really good except it looks like someone put a green filter over the last two pics :P.

My eyes are unworthy.

@Azrael: as long as you have a pre-order, just go to the store in april and pick up the beta and disc.

Argh! *goes in bathroom and jerks off*

Damn you MGS4 you are keeping me away from buying a Epiphone LP to learn to play guitar!!

But really though, since the serie's name is Metal Gear and Solid Snake is so bad ass, I think we should be able to maneuver these babies. At least once.

k...i gotta get a ps3 right now!!!

awewsome, props to kojima 4 the simultaneous relase day

@Azrael: I know right too bad Otacons face is so small... what?... WHAT?!?

@music2134: pretty much everything from MGS is in engine, i don tthink they've ever done anything pre rendered.

Somebody likes the green filter. Here's the last screen after some quick color-correction.

@slomo788: So very subtle. ^^;;;

METAL GEAR REX?? What's that doing there?

The trailer showed Snake in Metal Gear Rex, and Liquid in Metal Gear Ray. Epic.

@SmilingPolitely: Oh thank you! You shouldn't have! ;)

just wondering, why is it so green?

wow,MSG 1 filter is back!

@faiz1: Because the disc was full...

REX is lookin' kinda broken there...

@Knight-Zero:
:D
That does look like Snake in the driver's seat...
Big-time Awesome.

admittedly, this game is looking delicious!

I have to say.....with all the room on blue ray could we get a hi res ground texture?

@Knight-Zero: it did? holy shit, that blows my mind.

love the 3rd pic.

also, wasnt there a green filter on early MGS2 pictures, too? i recall one.

@music2134:

Tech Demo footage.

Warning: High speed required. Its in HD(kinda).

Green? Really? I would've chosen a more yellowish blue colour palette. Oh wait...

Can not wait for MGS4, 'twill blow my mind I'm sure.

Question for the HD gaming era:
Which do you prefer- Brown or Green or Gray filters as here or SuperShinyEverythings a la every FPS?

I prefer the filters as long as it is clear that it was an ARTISTIC choice, not an excuse to get lazy with accurately coloring everything.

@hopelesshindu:

It IS an artistic choice, don't worry. In the previous MGS games, the color filter would change depending on the mood of the scene, so I assume the same will hold true for MGS4. It's not all gonna be green and brown if that's what you're worried about.

@Vicious-chan: I love the MGS series *thumbs up* The only thing I am worried about is getting off my butt to eject the game from the PS3 or pressing the PS button midgame to access a tweaked interface or whatever hoops Kojima-san makes me jump through to break the forth wall.
They take me many tries to figure out, usually.

I demand new pictures of the monkey!

The new Metal Gears legs always creeped me out.

@hopelesshindu:
Diddo to What Vicious-Chan said.
The game isn't really like that. Watch the gameplay clip I just post a link to.

The theme this year is "GOING GREEN"

But this got tooo much greeeeen......

Am I really the only one NOT impressed? Sure, its all high-res.. but its not really what I was looking forward to compared to the videos I have seen about this game. O_o I'm sure it'll be a great game.. but for now, I find myself.. unimpressed by the graphics.

@hopelesshindu: Oh wow! During alll the hoopla about how great this game is going to be, I COMPLETELY forgot about how Kojima likes to shatter the fourth wall and make you think "outside the box" (eh? anyone? yeeeeah.)

I can't wait to see the outside-thinking aspects of the game.

Here's hoping we can give campbell those scissors he wants so damn much.

It looks like a dirty fish tank... a very sexy, dirty fish tank.

Screw my new cell phone, come June I'll be putting that money on a MGS4-PS3 bundle

Looks great. Every game nowadays seems to be running on the Unreal 3 engine and it's really starting to look repetitive. Kudos to games like MGS4 and Too Human for giving their games a sharper, less 'glowy' look.

@Witzbold: You know what creeps me out even more, those "heels" Raiden has based on those legs...

@Setech What videos have you been watching O.o please tell you have at least download a hi res trailer or gameplay vid...

@mcderek3000: That reminds me of the RvB episode when they switched from the Halo engine to Halo2 and one of the guys said "We're in the future now, everything is REALLY SHINY here..."

@mahi: or better models?

Oh man everyone behold greatness!!!!!!!!! This is one of the major reason Ps3 is rocking 2008 harder then 360 or wii.

@chemical_eng_mx: You know hes just trying to be "pretty" to impress snake. ;D

@uzivatel: you guys are getting a little too hung up on screenshots which, as we gamers know, usually don't do justice to the final product, especially when a MGS game is concerned. Just look at the game in motion and you'll be blown away. I'm sure when you play the game (if you do) you'll be spending your time criticizing the graphics rather than actually 'playing' the game, not.

Also, the green filter is indicative of the level you're playing, in this case South America. In the Middle East level the filter is brown.

What happened to their "media blackout"? Is that not in effect any more? Anways, glad to see a screenshot of the the new codec system. No more static face boxes. The person you'll be talking to will appear on the codec and you'll be able to control the mk.II during these scenes? That's right!

anyone seen this MGS4 microsite? they show some new characters (new to me anyway)
