Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Just realised from reading the manual. It makes sense to go to "Mission Briefing" and watch it on the main menu, before you start a new game!

The manual does advise you to do this ;)

Haha...

I was playing dead in an area with a few PMC troops. None of them could see me and they were finally moving out the area when one of them tripped over me :laugh: Got back on his feet then he then kicked me, and bam *alert*...

Audioboxer you're famous my friend. I just read an article on AeroXP mentioning you and early MGS4.

I'm going to Walmart after work to see if they have it or not. I also have a limited edition pre-order from Gamestop.

Enjoy it Audio and keep us posted. :D

Post it to digg?

Heh I didn't say it ran "natively" in 1080p, I just said it choose that resolution itself, meaning by default the game is happy to upscale. I seriously doubt it's 1080p native with the amount that goes on at times.

I also cleared up my initial thought of the game disc being UK PAL. It's not, it says on the disc itself "for use in Australia" - I have no idea why the disc HAS the UK 15 rating though, that is strange. Maybe just a slip up by Konami.

Still on the first act guys, I'm taking my time, but it's sweet :woot: Not fought any boss battles yet.

I'm pretty sure it will run the same as MGO (1024x768)

I personally think it looks better than the MGO beta a fair bit, but I'll reserve judgement until the pixel counters do their thing.

Metal Gear bundle kills amazon.com

Well, good job folks. We told you that amazon.com would sell the Metal Gear Solid 4 80GB bundle today. And you all listened. Thousands of you swarmed the site, got rid of their inventory in seven minutes, and best of all -- you killed amazon.com.

Demand for the Metal Gear bundle was so high, that the popular online retailer simply couldn't handle the traffic. If this is the fervor in just one store, imagine how well the bundles are going to sell when they release nationwide next Thursday.

Anyone grab a bundle?

ps. I met Drebin, he's cool as!

The amount of guns I've seen so far is impressive, and the gun customization looks pretty deep :D The system for gaining drebin points works really well, it doesn't hinder you with manually selling guns/items in menus. I won't explain any more though, see for yourself!

Edit: Nevermind.

I'm going to check out Wal-Mart later today.

Discs might be off the same production line then seperated for packaging, probably no different to how we sometimes get Irish ratings on our DVD's.

OMG just fought with the frogs for the first time :| That is all im saying.

(mild spoiler, names an enemy in the game we know about, however you may not if you've not read anything/much on MGS4).

By the way, LOL, Amazon is still down!

ahhhhh, when you say frogs you mean that squad unit of mini soldiers, not the new metal gear thingies with feet

Anyways, i was gonna ask you something about them but i think i'd rather not spoil it, still waiting on some pics (not spoilers tho, menus, guns maybe?)

I mean the prior, the later are called Geckos.

Nah don't spoil anything, seriously. This game has to be played without spoilers ;)

I'll take some screens of the weapons and customization options!

As usual none of these screens contain any major spoilers, however on request of Sethos, and probably others, I'm not image tagging these anymore - Direct links only.

All the screens show off the player weapons menu, and give you an idea of what parts of the guns you can customize. Last screen is a good one ;)

^ Yup, the Playboy Mag is classed as a weapon :laugh: And yes, you can in fact look through it yourself! Some nice women :D

:o

First encounter with the beauty and the beast unit.

By encounter I do mean just spectating for now, but OMG :|

(again mild spoilers of an enemy we already know about - unless you've avoided everything MGS4 related online).

I'll be stopping commentary on the game once I hit Act 2. Everything so far in Act 1 I've hinted/mentioned has been shown/made public or is known from previous games.

As I said earlier I will not be spoiling anything new about the game, you guys gotta wait for that ;)

If only you were gay Audioboxer, I would've already tried my damn hardest to seduce you into giving me that copy of MGS4. :p

Even if I were gay, my first love would be MGS :p

I really can't wait till you guys get this so we can actually talk about spoilers. There has been some classic stuff so far :laugh:

So yeah it may be great in a way I got a hold of this early, but I'm also missing out on being able to come on here and go OMG DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT?!

If I do complete this before it's officially out, which should be in my favour if I'm glued to it each day till release (I was suppose to be going out drinking tonight, but I told my friends where to go, and it didn't include me :p), I'll definitely play through again with you guys. There is already many reasons for a multiple play through.

One question, do the silencers still have limited lifetime like in MGS3?

That was annoying :p

Being cautious haha...

Yeah they do. But you can re-buy another without any hassle at any point.

Answers in there, that's all.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
