Metal Gear Solid 4

Anyone else really excited about this game? I just checked out Kojima showing off the gameplay aspects on Youtube and it looks awesome. Great to see some of the older characters coming back too. What are your thoughts on this game MGS fans? I reckon it's worth buying a PS3 just for this game.

Yeah, watching that gameplay video blew me away (again). It should become one of those console defining experiences and a reason to purchase that console.

The sheer amount of ways of dealing with enemies is incredible and the way they interact with each other and their environment is something else, this may be the first MGS game where blasting your way through a level is rendered a null tactic.

From the gameplay trailer there are so many things that have been added, it feels like a less cumbersome game, control-wise.

Example: when throwing grenades, an arc appears that shows the trajectory. Simple but for an MGS game, its new.

Also, the camo is a lot better. A button press and it works.

Can't wait...

That's mental, MGS 4 would probibly be the only reason alot of us would get a PS3! It's the most realistic thing I've ever seen on a games console... or even a PC! (apart from the whole Metal Gear aspect ofcource;) , but you'd never know... might happen *unlikely*)

For now anyway, it'll be interesting to see if sales of the console and indeed game are at a level that Konami are happy enough to not decide to port it to the 360.

absolutely stunning. Very smooth with plenty of depth yet the controls look very intuitive.

It's the first game (presuming it remains an exclusive) that would have me eying up a PS3.

Just watched the video there and looks excellent. Not too much of a change from the last games, but they seem to have certainly made minor tweaks to the traditional gameplay and items that should change the experience quite a bit. The steel drum looks like an excellent addition especially, although I fail to see how looking through a "men's magazine" will cure nausea

It will take my strongest willpower not to cave in and pick up a PS3 when this is on the shelves...

It does indeed look good, very good, but it's not enticing me at all.
I really don't think i could stomach another guff-filled gibberish fest of a Metal Gear game.

the Metal gear series would be alot better if they reigned in the suffocating plot and let the game go on without trying to prove how clever it all is.

I thought the plot in MGS3 was great, a lot simpler and therefore better than the mess that was MGS 2. I'm hoping that this game doesn't turn into the mess that MGS 2 was. It was great in MGS3 that after the first 30 minutes the cutscenes and codec calls dried up and it let you play the game. I hope it's the same with this game. MGS 2 played great but the constant interruprions were really annoying.
