Rumor has it that Sony pulled this video. I found it on Youtube, but a lot of people are saying it's going to get pulled soon too. Cool vid, I like the damage to columns with debris falling everywhere. Nice to see running animations and different outfits on people; though, the previous trailers were more impressive imo. Still good info.

Particularly, the stuff about Raiden. S3 Plan was not meant to reproduce Raiden as a soldier in Snake's image (as Joystiq would have you think). The AI talking to Raiden blatantly says what use is a single soldier to them. The S3 plan that Raiden was part of had nothing to do with reproducing soldiers. It had everything to do with reproducing the events of Shadow Moses because if they could reproduce the outcome of that complex event then they could use that data to coordinate and create any type of historical even they want. It's all about controlling the flow of future history.

Also, I'm not sure, but I think the concensus at the end of MGS3 is that EVA didn't steal anything from Snake at the end although she thought she did (?). Not entirely sure, but there's a lot of discussion about it, because in the same ending while Snake is still in his room it shows him still with the microfilm.

Also, Gekkou's are not Metal Gears as joystiq said. They are derived from previous Metal Gear technology though. Kind of how the Wii and the Gamecube are related. The Wii is not a new Gamecube, though it uses similar architecture. The Gekkous aren't capable of nuclear attacks like a real Metal Gear.

Just saying. Joystiq should get its tiny minutia right in mega story epics like MGS. Just saying.

Wow, that information is basic stuff, seriously. lol. And some of it wasn't even right.

The game will be revolutionary. Just not AS revolutionary as the concept that Kojima thought up in his head.

Everyone is overreacting from this minor interview.

*rolls eyes*

He blatantly says that game-wise it's close to the original vision. It's only the graphics/motion blending/size of the maps that he was referring to. I mean, the gameplay is what matters, and graphically the game looks fantastic.

everyone stop overreacting, damn it.

I've been reading the coverage of this and I don't think he's trying to tell people MGS4 will be a bad game. We have to understand that this is (supposedly) the end of Solid Snake's story, the end of a character that's been around for 20 years, that is essentially Kojima's baby. He's been building MGS4 for years... everyday going to work and working on a game. Game developers ALWAYS want more content in their games, but because of deadlines, budgets, etc. they are unable to get everything they wanted in there. EVERY developer deals with this. I respect Kojima for what he's saying, but he does sound like he's being too hard on himself. I don't think he's saying he's completely dissatisfied with MGS4, but I believe he's merely saying that there were more things he wanted to implement into it that he was unable to accomplish. MGS4 (and MGO) look fantastic, and all the reviews/previews I've read have only said good things. The video's I've seen look incredible. I was reading some comments at kotaku saying "I'm cancelling my preorder now." and I think that's wholly ridiculous. Kojima is a perfectionist; I'm sure he's said this about all the games he's made at the end.

Took about 3 hours for me... it bounced between 170KB/s and 25KB/s...

And then you have to install... which is a mere 2 minutes.

But hey, now if I could get id.konami.net to work, I'd be set. lol. haha.

WHY CAN'T THIS BE DONE ON THE PSP!? *CRIES*

whether you dislike Mario or not, the newly released Super Mario Galaxy scored higher than any other game in recent memory, and Mario's selling power is something that will probably stick around for years on end. A lot of reviewers said that Galaxy is throwing a new spin of innovation on platformers as we know them. While I haven't played it myself, I would like to from all the rabid responses I've heard from the game.

I respect Miyamoto for what he's done, but being ignorant of what other people are doing seems like a bad thing for game developers and directors.
