Introducing the Joystiq Metal Gear Solid 4 page

by Ross Miller { Jun 6th 2008 at 9:15PM }

Need a refresher on Kojima's forthcoming masterpiece? Check out our game page for all things Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Seriously, this is everything we've written on the game. Bookmark the page, as we'll be constantly updating with new content in the lead-up to MGS4's worldwide launch next week.

Note: The MGS4 page also benefits from not having comments and is therefore spoiler free. That said, we will do our best to monitor the comment system, at our own risk, and delete spoilers. Still, we're human, so be careful when treading through comments, on any website, for the next few weeks.

To those who do post spoilers: Expect to see a banhammer slam into your forehead.

Joystiq you just probably need a mod scanning these pages because if the past day has been any representation, MGS4 spoilers abound.

SPOILER: Read below!

Colin was never hugged as a child. : (

Colin is the Hummingbird killing Joystiq.

@jaka,

I never played halo 3, so i didn't know he was making a joke. I was a little annoyed until i read further down that it was a joke. Then you know wat? I was fine again.

chimp o death may not have known it was a joke either, but at least he kept his response composed and silly. I don't think he's the biggest asshole for that. Everyone already knows who I think is the biggest asshole. No, not you either Jaka.

but it's ridiculous that YOU Jaka, who wasn't even tricked or offended by the joke goes on a rampage because NOT EVERYONE PLAYED HALO 3 AND KNEW IT WAS JOKE. you need to take a deep breath.

Then you say people like me worship mgs4? I just love the series, and i can't wait to play the final one. Who the fuck are you? I'm not a fan of halo 3 but I understand why many people are. Because they're gay.... j/k. OMGZ I'M AN ASSHOLE.

Now Colin, I don't know what your intentions were but if enough people mistaken your post as a real spoiler, you may get banned. I know it would've ruined your post to immediately explain your joke. But you could'ved posted the explanation separately.

This is what i've been wondering. How can anyone know the ending of mgs4 yet besides the reviewers?

Reminder for PS3 Fans: Day after mgs4 release, gametrailers will release gameplay footage of Resistance 2! I can't wait for both of course!

J @ Jun 7th 2008 12:04PM

oh great, their posts were deleted. now I just sound crazy.

Let me give a light-hearted suggestion, when you delete posts maybe you can keep their panel up and just have the words "deleted by moderator" like other blogs when posts are deleted.

Like the last time an mgs4 spoiler joined in another topic, everyone who responded sounded insane cause i didn't know who they were talking about. I would just see random posts saying "ban this asshole!" who?!

On the other hand, I'll be fine if you disagree.

Neebs @ Jun 6th 2008 9:25PM

I saw the Metal Gear Solid 4 spoilers....

I've only a brief understanding on the past games plot, but WHAT IN THE HELL?

DesertPyrate @ Jun 6th 2008 9:37PM

Wow @ all the hype around this game, lol "Snake dies @ the end but if you wait it shows he might still be alive."

Let me guess he's waiting in the ship with Cortana. This game looks decent but doesnt blow me away, I dont think this is full use of the PS3's power, everyone is so gassed up about it. "Next gen starts here!" What the hell do you call Gears of War? Bioshock? Call of Duty 4? People are taking this game too far, just like they did Halo 3 and GTA.

I'm hyped for RE5 looks better than all the above mentioned stuff, I'd like to survey the forms and ask does anyone else feel this game is far too hyped?

J @ Jun 7th 2008 9:11AM

buttpyrate/jakass - "oh look, an article on a game i care so little about that i practically hate it. Let me go and share my thoughtful insight to its fans and expect them embrace my feelings."

Hey guys, thinking that way doesn't make you stupid fanboys. Just naive.

Are you trying to be our saviors from some kind of evil metal gear propaganda? If so, I guess i'm fucked, cause after hearing all the good things about the game, I welcome all its lies. They sound like fun!

eNrique @ Jun 6th 2008 9:49PM

((-(-_(-_-)_-)-))

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

killr0y @ Jun 6th 2008 10:10PM

Does this mean you're going to spare us the MGS4 updates on the main page? Pleeeease???

Jhongerkong @ Jun 7th 2008 12:10AM

Spoiler:

In the end, Snake goes back in time to play tennis against a baby version of himself

dukemeiser @ Jun 7th 2008 1:19AM

That'll be one hell of a match!

Lord Bowser @ Jun 7th 2008 6:25AM

IF they revealed the ending of Halo 3 I bet you'd be equally peeved. Oh that's right, Halo would actually need a story for it to count as a spoiler.

Get off your high horse, moron.

Lord Bowser @ Jun 7th 2008 8:12AM

Actually, you make a very good point. We should always try to avoid personal insults, it lowers us all. I apologise for calling you a moron. You're not a moron: just a short sighted fanboy. But that's ok, too.

We should all try to be more civil on the internet and less judgemental. Jakub has shown us the way.

j.howlett @ Jun 7th 2008 9:30AM

they had a gta4 page. get off the rag

J @ Jun 7th 2008 12:14PM

what is so metal gear about those sneakers? it doesn't even say metal gear solid on it. It says legacy. what is legacy?

DesertPyrate @ Jun 7th 2008 1:48PM

You've taken fanboy to an iconic status with your bickering. I commented on this game being over hyped which it is, just like I made mention to Halo 3 and GTA which are games that I also own, that were over hyped. You fanboys disgust me how you go on rants after someone besmirches you precious little baby. The game will be good but it being over hyped is a fact. You can go trade your 60 gig or whatever model you're rocking and go by the gun metal edition and have a nerdgasam at a midnight launch.

This game doesnt look all that impressive and no one is commenting on how Snake is starting to look like Sam Fisher. Vote this one down too, I dont care.

me:
Who's the one ranting? You come here and lecture and disrespect strangers about a game you don't care about? I don't care about nascar, but why don't I go to the races or the nascar forums to trash the fans?

now you'rE trying to sound all dramatic with strong terms like "iconic status," "disgust," "besmirch," "precious little baby"
Listen, buttpyrate.. we aren't talking about Israel, we aren't talking about religion and politics, or children dying in the streets. We're talking about a fucking video game. S...... the F.... UP. i like mgs4, you do not.

there is nothing wrong with me for liking it. there's nothing wrong with NOT liking it. what is "sick" is to insist that others agree with you and acknowledge your insults.

If i went and say something negative, i'll say it EXPECTING to annoy people. But you.. for some reason you seem SURPRISED.

FUCK OFF.

ps MGS FOREVER! LALELULELO!!!

"DesertPyrate"

Look, Im a PS3 fan, and I although I enjoyed the games, I wasn't such a huge fan of the series...

I was reading some posts on a forum, and yes, I was weak, and clicked on the Spoilers post, and dude, goddamn...the game looks freaking awesome, enough that Im reading about the whole story of the previous games so I can fully understand the story of MGS4 once I get to play it....
