Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Ok guys tripod makes things better. It's a little squint in these photos, but I'll fix that.

Still crappy lighting conditions in my room, but they ain't bad. My blinds closed so I can play, so the only real light is coming from actual lights.

Not much to show yet, just proving I can take snaps a little less blurrier. Going to go and finally play the game, next snaps I'll take will be of actual game play.

I'm not posting anything to do with cutscenes or spoilers!

4 difficulties for starting with.

The one highlighted is "Solid Normal"

Is that Snake looking at "The Boss' " grave??

I have no idea, it doesn't give you a close up of the grave.

Probably though, as MGS3 ends in the graveyard at the Boss' grave :yes:

Audio, would it be possible if you could post those pictures in pure link form and not with tags?

So those who want to experience everything on the 12th can do that and anyone who want to see game pictures can click the links.

'Else I just gotta stay out for 6 days :(

OMG the most unexpected mini-intro to the game I would ever of thought of.

Kojima's humour (Y) :woot:

Back to you guys in about 30 mins say, after I've seen the "real" intro.

I'm not posting any spoilers though, either in images, or in my text - All I'll do is either discuss what we know, but I can spoiler tag it, and maybe show off one or two more images of actual gameplay in the 1st scene, which is what we've seen already. But if that makes it better for you no probs!

I'll post as links from now on.

I know you aren't a guy to post spoilers.

But I don't know how to explain it, I just want to have that "Wow" experience when you get the game, like the install menu you posted and the menu ( Which looks awesome ) - It's small stuff, but still adds up :)

But I thought I seen her in the trailers? :-\

lol never mind wrong person. :p

Yeah no probs mate. I was the one being anal about spoilers earlier, so I know how it feels.

My last crop of snaps for now, I want to go play the game :laugh:

They show off in-game shots. It's crisp and smooth :woot: No spoilers at all, it's shots from the area we've all seen a 1000 times!

Also honestly, the transitions from cutscene to game play are awesomely done!

The intro to the game is brilliant, but I kind of spoiled it for myself before now anyway. I watched it online. However it doesn't compare to watching it in HD on your own TV.

All I'll say is attention to detail is nice, you notice dust and dirt on the "camera" lens if you know what I mean, it's cool.

You can turn on subtitles for in-game and cutscenes, which a lot of our users might be glad to know!

ps. I've noticed I haven't had theatre mode turned on, on my Bravia for any of the snaps - It makes things look better. Probably wouldn't show up much in these snaps though.

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

That's just plain mean. :p

Zomg, I'm famous!

:D

does it look native 1080p? scaled or what?

jaggies??

note: Your still a jammy sod! :p

It's going to be 1080p scaled (if it were native, you'd of heard by now), but at least it chooses to run in it by default - Unlike GTA4 where you have to force it, then it doesn't "feel right", like you should just let it run in what it wants.

Graphics are nice, minimal jaggies. Most things look really smooth. Frame rate seems solid. It's gotta be 30FPS, but I don't think it's capped at 30 - In other words I think it runs higher when it can.

Away for a marathon now, back later ;)

Am i on ignore or something?

Can you remap the buttons, i want aiming and shooting on triggers not shoulder buttons.

I didn't see your question first time, no need to ask if you're on ignore... :/

I don't know I haven't checked, I'll see just now.

edit: I don't think you can change specific buttons, but there's a lot to do with inverting/changing sensitivity and lock on options.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
