Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Mine is still on "Order Placed". :( I'm not giving up hope, though. Play.com seems to have been on the blink for the past month. I ordered GTAIV off them. It kept jumping to different stages. Up to "Processing", then to "Packing", than back to "Processing", then a few days later, I got an email saying it had been shipped. 10 minutes later, it arrived on my doorstep! :D

My Jabra BT125 is doing this as well. It went from "Order Placed" to "Processing" to "Packing" in less than 30 minutes, then an hour later it went back "Processing". It's still there as I'm typing this.

well, I'm gonna give it till the end of the day and if its not dispatched I'm gonna cancel and change to gameplay or amazon.

edit: sod it, changed to gameplay.co.uk, fair enough 1st class postage is 99p extra but they seem more reliable for release date delivery. Play.com has let me down and it arrived a day late a few times.

Oh Audio, why didn't you answer my question, are you avoiding me on purpose, have you ignored me! I can't live like this /Cut wrist.

( Sorry :shiftyninja: )

Truth is I would rather not answer it, not because there is, or there isn't. I'm not saying either way. Not many days left!!

I got me a silver DS3 off of Ebay the other day just for MGs4 and to always have a charged backup controller for longer sessions. :p

I have ordered a DualShock 3 controller aswell just for MGS4... Ceramic White is looking so awesome :p :laugh:

Woo, 3 days!

Can't wait. :D

I'll walking in to town at some silly time to pick it up, wonder if Game or anyone are having a midnight launch, doubt it though.

Plus I would be on my own. *makes sad face*

Well I've gave in and ordered it from gameplay.co.uk, I didn't see no out of stock warnings which is suprising.

Konami said there would be plenty of copies available for launch so there would be no chance of running out.

Check my post on page 60 ;)

Already did ;)

Guys stay off Digg, they just spoiled something big that really ticked me off, i didnt see the video but just by the title itself i can imagine what it is, damn them :(

sorry to hear that. hope it didn't ruin the whole game for you...

I'm going to stay offline as much as I can until it's release, so nobody can spoil the game for me.

Naa, it wasnt anything HUGE, just one of those things that would have surprised me if i saw it first while playing, now im gonna be expecting it.

Link me, then delete the link in a few mins. Just an http link, no one on here needs to click it.

I'll tell you if it's truthful, and how severe it is if it's true.

I'm staying off all community sites involving comments and not going on any fo the forums besides Neowin till it comes out.

I made the close mistake of reading Kotaku comments, slowly reading through i read something along the lines of "Snake..."

At which point my mind shut down and i closed the tab, and now i am avoiding all comments everywhere, and no sites where something someone can post can hit the front page of the site.

Dont click or hover over the text if you want to remain spoiler free....

Link used to be here... deleted..

Like i said, just by the title i already know what it is, so im gonna be expecting it, i know its not anything big, but now it wont be as special as if i had seen it in game...

BTW, i didnt click the link on digg or even read the comments....

Also, the link on digg links to PS3fanboy.com i think, so stay off that site too, while you are at it, disconnect your computer from the internet... i wish i could

Ah right, you can delete it now.

That's already been spoiled in this topic by Hanif :(

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=589466719

And yes it is worthwhile NOT knowing it before playing, as it happens at the exact right point it should :p

Lol!

It nice to see people put the effort in so some don't get the game ruined by other people.

I'm just happy there aren't any asses on Neowin.

And I think Audioboxer has been, how to say this, great considering, I can just bet he's slowly dying inside to talk about the game. :D

I was going to say, I know you were going to wait till we got the game before saying anything, but when we get the game, by the time we finish it it probably wouldn't be till late friday anyway and wont want anythign spoiled, so I was going to suggest playing through with us on thrusday or atleast waiting till the weekend before the spoilers start appearing.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
