Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I wonder if this will this game will come to the PC or xbox 360.

If it sells well on the PS3, probably not.

The only way I can see this getting ported is if

a) It gets poor sales

b) Kojima's requirements of a DL BR disc (50GB) are somewhat flawed

Especially b, we'll have to wait and see if true.

As if it is true, it's unlikely to hit either 360 or the PC, based on the fact both use DVDs for games.

Were you even able to get it started :laugh: My PC started to physically abuse me after i tried running it.

I gave up with it shortly afterwards and traded it in.

Thing was I had it for the PS2 anyway, but bought it fairly cheap for the PC, hoping for higher res graphics and maybe mods of some sort.

Still no news on a European LE?

Might get announced today seeing as SCEE are having PlayStation Day in London.

I expect to hear a DS3 release date announcement as well.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Limited edition in Europe?

According to several online sales sites, on June 12 will be available a limited edition of Metal Gear Solid 4 in Europe.

The sites are reporting that this edition will contain the original game, a Blu-ray with the making of, a CD with the OST of the game and a figurine of Snake. The price for this edition is close to 130?.

Ouch I was hoping 69.99!

I thought maybe shop-to would undercut RRP which they always do, but it says "Play exclusive":((

Unhappy about that as Play are notorious for NOT getting a game to you on the release day:// They use frickin 2nd class post quite often, where as shop-to are free next day delivery.

I do want though...

i didnt like the old mgs3 will mgs4 be a little easier as the control scheme for the old one was waayy to hard for me?

The old control system has been scrapped and an entirely new layout (aimed to Westernise the series) has been implemented.

According to previews, it is vastly improved.

Our local Gamestop has an offer posted on the website, trade in 2 x Playstation 3 games ( Got Motorstorm and Resistance with a big layer of dust on 'em ) and 2$, then you will get MGS4, a T-shirt and a 'special' Pre-order DVD.

Is this a decent trade-in you reckon ?

With MS2 and RFOM2 coming out this year act on that deal fast!

I know this has been covered but I cant read through all 14 pages.... do you think it is necessary to have played the previous MGS games in order to enjoy/understand MGS4... as of last night I am now a ps3 owner(no games currently and do not think I will be buying anything until MGS4)

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
