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.

    • Payday TWO!! Is 13 years old man I feel old - I remember trying it out and if I did not know I would say 5-6 years ago or something
    • Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
