Back to the beginning: unveiling Metal Gear Solid 4

Many of you will be able to get your hands on Metal Gear Solid 4 tomorrow night at midnight. As we wait for this monumental event in PS3 history, we thought we'd take a look at the very first trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4. The debut of this anticipated PS3 game came after the release of MGS3 on PS2. In fact, the debut trailer reveals nothing about the game, using assets from the PS2 adventure. It's strange, to be sure -- and shows how crazy Kojima & co. can get when promoting their game.

Since then, a strong bevy of trailers has supported the title, each more sensible than the last. Check out Joystiq for every trailer released for the game, as we inch ever-so-close to the launch. Wow, what a journey.
