Meryl! Roadblock! Old Snake's pulling a gun on Gollum! Oh, and Gollum is drinking a Coke! ... And he's apparently friends with Wesley Snipes' character from Demolition Man! Hey, there's Jeff Goldblum! Eye Have You! An actual Metal Gear! Wow, we wish we could speak Japanese! (Wait, we don't need to!)
So ... did we miss anything?

There are 3 billy goats crossing your bridge, troll.

never understood why people like this game / to much FMV and watered down AI
JL @ Sep 19th 2007 2:14PM
You have no idea what you are talking about. Metal Gear Solid is one of the best games of all time and the sequels are all fantastic games. I'm willing to bet that you have never played one. You were already caught being a Microsoft Fanboy earlier, so dont try and act like you have something relevant to comment on this topic.
The fact is, Metal Gear Solid games are epic and is unlike anything else out in the VG world.
And, Kojima and co. make the best trailers :)

"Watered down AI" says the commenter with the Halo avatar.
Micheal82 @ Sep 19th 2007 2:18PM
This game is way overrated. It is nothing more than an interactive movie. I played the past games and Splinter Cell is way better than this and with Splinter Cell you don't have to sit through an 30 min. cut scene.
mfed3 @ Sep 19th 2007 2:39PM
agreed. cool story, but gameplay is so lame with respawning enemies when you walk back into a room and the AI is terrible.
Chris @ Sep 19th 2007 2:43PM
Okay I have a 360 and not a PS3, but this Pro Splinter Cell stuff has got to stop. MGS is head and shoulders above the soulless Splinter Cell series.
waves @ Sep 19th 2007 2:44PM
I just finished MGS 3 and am most of the way through my 2nd run through. If you stopped at the 2nd because the story was so weird, you owe it to yourself to check out the 3rd one. It's by far the best of the series (if you discount the fact that the first was so groundbreaking). The attention to detail in these games is outstanding.
I was feeling kind of ho-hum about the 4th until I finished the 3rd. Now I'm very excited.
waves @ Sep 19th 2007 3:11PM
Micheal82,
Yeah, with Splinter Cell you just have to sit through every other game. The even numbered ones are totally phoned in by 2nd rate developers in Shanghai.
That said, I am looking forward to Conviction. It's about time they shook that series up a bit.

"The fact is, Metal Gear Solid games are epic and is unlike anything else out in the VG world."
FACT LOL
I stopped playing the MGS games after finishing the second one (never bothered with any of the add-ons). Promises of epic storylines, then you end up listening to emos whining to you over the phone for five hours (with some gameplay snippets inbetween).
Victor @ Sep 19th 2007 5:35PM
@Michael82
Well, gameplay is actually really fun, since it makes you really feel like a spy.
btw fanboys, I'm not saying it's better than Splinter Cell or vice versa.
License to ill @ Sep 19th 2007 2:09PM
Huh.....
Shagittarius @ Sep 19th 2007 2:09PM
How does something solid leak onto something...? I could understand if this were Metal Gear Solid: Mercury.
phuink @ Sep 19th 2007 2:12PM
Sort of excited for it, but this series gets weirder every time a new installment comes out.
Vegnagun @ Sep 19th 2007 2:27PM
I've been a huge MGS fan since before MGS was 3d, but these trailers are getting to weird for me. MGS has always been an over-the-top weird game, but I draw a line at flying metal cows with digestive problems.
Hashbrown_Hunter @ Sep 19th 2007 9:28PM
Ironically, this one looked the least goofy (at first).
And was it just me, or was that trailer relatively boring?
Battousai8728 @ Sep 19th 2007 2:18PM
If only my colleges' internet were faster...
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 19th 2007 2:21PM
Is not that,is gamevideos.It simply sucks,they are a lot of people watching this at the same time slowing things down.
FrankTheCrank @ Sep 19th 2007 2:18PM
But rumble is so last gen!! wahhhhh!
I like buying defective consoles, cause they give you a three year warranty. Yah....
Oh and by the way, Halo RULZ....Duhrrrrrr!!!
g.Park @ Sep 19th 2007 2:18PM
So Snake in a Metal Gear Ray vs. Liquid Ocelot in the remains of the Shadow Moses Rex squaring off at what appears to be Shadow Moses island?
Pants officially shat.
Zamzoph @ Sep 19th 2007 2:19PM
Return of REX and RAY = awesome.
...as it just me, or is the mannerism of the mystery FOX HOUND guy oddly like Johnny Sasaki, the loser henchman of MGS?
gamernewz.net @ Sep 19th 2007 2:19PM
It looks so good! Can I just watch the game and not play it? I can't stand MGS gameplay....but it does look really awesome.
elmersglue @ Sep 19th 2007 2:49PM
I agree, looks fantastic, and that's coming from an xbot. I'll gladly watch someone play though :)
T3H WICKERMAN @ Sep 19th 2007 2:24PM
ugh naomi hunter cleavage ftw? ummm...hmm. scientist/slut? COME ON LADY dont teach olgas daughter to dress like the rest of you metal gear skanks! The eva looking like the boss was kinda cool!
Zamzoph @ Sep 19th 2007 2:29PM
Actually, I found that frightening...
EVA got hit by the old stick.
T3H WICKERMAN @ Sep 19th 2007 2:25PM
spoiler guess this is all Big Boss plan excuted by his patriots thru the series.
Scott @ Sep 19th 2007 2:26PM
Whatever happened to the real-time cloth animation that Sony claimed at one of the E3s? All the characters models look like plastic action figures. oh, and nice boobs.
Truepatriot @ Sep 19th 2007 2:27PM
yes! i already read the script for the trailer which can be found at wired.com and now i get video with it
Truepatriot @ Sep 19th 2007 2:33PM
bah i should learn to read before commenting since script link is in article XD
*rewatches video"
Shibathedog @ Sep 19th 2007 2:28PM
Can I borrow someones PS3 for this? Please? Its going to be so awesome but i don't have 500/600/whatever dollars >_
HineyWipe @ Sep 19th 2007 3:34PM
Holy Giant Guns Monkey Camo Cleavage!!
Um, there is ALOT I don't get here.
Why she got her shirt unbuttoned?
Matter of fact, there is like 3 cleavage shots.
Why she wearing earrings in combat?
...
Keith @ Sep 19th 2007 2:33PM
I don't want to start some stupid fanboy flame war -- but this game just doesn't interest me -- I'm sure it will be tight code and entertaining but it's not for me. Sony needs a game that everyone is dying to have -- while this might be it for some, I'm sure their ads won't appear to the masses. I buy every system that has appealing games but Sony hasn't done it for me. Where's the gameplay? This franchise has gone downhill since part 2.
Truepatriot @ Sep 19th 2007 2:35PM
what! 3 was way better than 2 and im sure 4 will top 3.
if the game doesnt interest you why do you feel
compelled to comment on it then and tell us that it doesnt interest you?
waves @ Sep 19th 2007 3:01PM
No way. MGS2, while still a decent title, is the low point of the series.
Keith @ Sep 19th 2007 2:37PM
Here we go -- someone who hates opinions -- sorry, MGS4 rocks -- best game ever
Truepatriot @ Sep 19th 2007 2:45PM
huh i dont hate your opinion, im asking why come into a thread about mgs to tell us you dont like mgs thats all.i figured more people were like me that if something doesnt interest you(for me its the wii lol)you avoid it o_O
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 19th 2007 2:38PM
Hurray Gamevideos, I can take a **** in the time it takes to load a video, Seriously why every MGS4 trailer must be in gamevideos?
Anyway MGS4 looks great and now it has a monkey (Monkeys make everything awesome), the part where Rex and Ray was EPIC but is too much to ask for subtitles? BTW what the eff with that ending? Comical relief huh.
Oh yeah, OMG Monkay, Casual Gear Solid, Ps3 sux olololol.
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 19th 2007 2:41PM
Ops,forgot what I said,still it would be neat to have the video with the subtitles so we don't have to look at the script at the same time.
um..wow @ Sep 19th 2007 2:38PM
as a ps3 owner, I still say "meh" the design of everything in this game screams "middle school comic book artist" to me. I just don't understand why people get so excited over this. unless I'm 20 years older than everyone on this site..
Sheldon @ Sep 19th 2007 2:40PM
Can we unleak this, it looks boring after watching this trailer, partially cause I'm not so proficient in Japanese and partially because it is truly boring...
Tyler Jones @ Sep 19th 2007 2:41PM
Yeah Keith, how dare you excercise your right to freedom of speech on the internet? How dare you post a non-threating post with no cursing what so ever on this page just to piss everyone off? Bastard!
....
Its people like Truepatriot that will form the Thoughtpolice someday.
Never played Metal Gear, even though I have a ps2...just never found it interesting.
Truepatriot @ Sep 19th 2007 2:49PM
yay look at me i complain when anyone questions an opinion.i want every one to go unquestioned and assume people will become tyrants because they do so.
since your all gung-ho about free speech you do know part of is to question things right?
i didnt say anything mean i was just questioning his opinion or am i not allowed to do that anymore sir??
Tyler Jones @ Sep 19th 2007 2:53PM
Um...no you werent questioning his opininon, you were asking why he expressed his opinion.
Questioning his opinion would have been along the lines of "Why don't you like MGS?"
Truepatriot @ Sep 19th 2007 2:57PM
eh so still am i not allowed to question or does that make me a facist according to you?
also am i not allowed to present a counter opinion?
or if you want to throw out the f word you should know i dont even own a ps3.
drdre74 @ Sep 19th 2007 2:43PM
Best game ever to be made. I never could understand why people feel they need to make a comment on everything they know they wont buy or want. Thats stupid. I don't care for Halo but i'm not in all the Halo boards trashing it. I I just comment on what I want to see and buy and keep it rolling. Get a life people, and find a find a girlfriend to. Its just a video game.
ruibing @ Sep 19th 2007 2:45PM
Only people saying that they don't like this game are those who a) has a 360 b) won't praise it until it is announced for the 360 c) just don't like espionage titles at all. The same can be said for the responses for the new rumble controller.
If it is a good game, praise it. Else explain what is wrong, without comparing it to a big hyped up game that you plan to own, and then end it with that. As a PS3 owner, I have no problem saying I like Mass Effect and Eternal Sonata (only reason I'm not saying fps is because they make me dizzy). Why can't 360 (including some PS3) users be, for the lack of a better word, more mature in this respect?
Word of the street(IDF-Digital Ruler). @ Sep 19th 2007 2:52PM
Well you have to be honest,the trialer isn't too impressive unless you count Ray vs Rex and the monkey,that was Good but other than that it was kind of lame.
The graphics aren't too impressive either I mean let's take a look at Far cry 2 for a moment,I didn't hear any music in the trailer,IMO the trailer for portable ops + was a lot better.
ruibing @ Sep 19th 2007 2:57PM
I don't think this low resolution trailer can really represent a game that is suppose to be played at 1080i/p on a HDTV. Plus, it is under development for half a year more before release.
