Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread

The main menu screen is intense :|

Easter egg: If you let the main menu screen "run" till it's finished (it's kind of like a menu over a cutscene), it will go black, you'll see the Konami logo and then one of those PMC adverts will play! (check gametrailers). Then it goes back to the main menu again.

^ Check Keito's sig for Ravensword - That's the PMC adverts I'm talking about.

Rinse repeat.

Anyway I'll be back in just under an hour and should have some high quality snaps then!

Kojima kinda gave that away in an interview though :p Glad to see them in high res in the game though, the ones online are quite lo-res :( and the ravensword kicks so much ass!

Thanks for mentioning me almighty audioboxer XD

I'm just home, had to go out. (left MGS4 running though to tease those on my friends list ;))

I've not started playing the game yet. I'm gonna delete the install data, and install it whilst taking new snaps on my digi cam. Then I'll take a few of the main menu and a few gameplay ones. Then I'm getting settled for a MGS4 marathon :p

Bring it on!!!!, :D

whats with the 2 different rating on the copies? is this the UK and AU getting the same production run? or is there someting more darker, and UK copies of the game intercepted and paired with the AU packaging??

Looking forward to it :drool:

Quick question. does the LE release same time as the regular edition??

It's definitely an Australian copy.

I thought it was weird the disc has a 15 UK rating, but on the disc it says "for use in Australia". I already said earlier my box/case says "to be sold in Australia/New Zealand only".

I have no idea how people in the UK got a hold of Aussie copies this far in advance :rolleyes:

Guys what is it that helps you take photos on a camera? Macro Mode or something?

I'm a complete noob with digitial cameras, and I swear my hands are steady but it still blurs.

I'm using the old Canon Powershot A85 cam just now. We have a Nikon D75 but I have even less of an idea on how to work it :/

Someone help or else we'll be getting blurry shots :p

Game install takes 4GB.

Game chooses to run in 1080p itself. GTA4 said 1080p support on the back of it's box, however the game chooses to run in 720p unless you force it to run in 1080p. MGS4 doesn't need to be forced.

;)

Snake actually smokes the cig during the install, and it physically decreases in size :p He also says "Kept you waiting, huh?" when the install is complete :laugh:

Example of how easily my shots get blurred though :/

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
