Yeah I loved that part :woot:

You're making good progress through the game!

[Richard Hammond]

Cant stop playing this game, i play it in 4-5 hour stints then have a break for an hour or so, there arent many games that get me so engrossed, there arent many games that make me really care about the characters either, there were quite a few moments when i was gutted. Not looking forward to the ending :(

Epic game, dont think there will be many games that can touch MGS4 now, fairly happy with the ending. Got a little bit fedup with some of the cutscenes they dragged on far too long but for the most part im well impressed.

Also while on the South American Trail following Naomi did anyone come across this?

I took a picture of it with the ingame camera, im guessing its the core of Kojimas team, cant realy make out the signatures.

OMG at the ending! :o I was convinced that Snake was going to die at the end.. if your reading this Kojima, Snake's got at least one more game left in him yet! haha :laugh:

From what I interpreted the ending as Snake is supposed to die due to his accelerated aging, and he is spending his final days with Otacon and Sunny. Therefore it's safe to assume there won't be any more future games starring Solid Snake.

[Michael1406]

They've said it was the last game about Snake anyway. They could potentially do a game about Raiden getting Big Boss and Sunny.

I've seen a Youtube vid of someone going to that handprint area, but I've never been there myself.

Oh.. i meant how Snake was told that the Foxdie virus in his body that is mutating and about to cause a pandemic is being countered by Foxalive, and he has more time left

I did remember that rite did'nt i? :wacko:

Anyways.. has anybody unlocked any of the high emblems or special items yet? Am working on getting the figurines myself

I went through it on easy and got The solar gun (get all the figurines), stealth and bandana in one go, the hardest parts were the on-rails bits (on the APC and motorbike), other than that it's pretty easy.

[Jeremy Clarkson]

What do you think?? Jesus H Christ.

[Richard Hammond]

I played it at 1080p to be honest you wont realy notice the difference unless you have a massive TV, theres a large portion of low resolution textures through the whole game so a lower resolution might mask them a bit.

[richardsim7]

When's James May gonna make his appearance? :s

[Kushan]

It's a valid question, the game doesn't natively render at 1080p so it may look better or worse, it just depends on how it's scaled.

As an answer to the question: it'll look about as good on either, you're not missing anything.

It's not a valid question though is it. Is it just me that can see what is happening here? Must be.

ho massive of a tv are we talking about. mine is 42 inch. probably mid ranged.

The game chooses to run in 1080p, so let it run in that.

It also says on the back of the box what resolutions it supports :whistle:

[Jeremy Clarkson]

ah shoot hold on... my copy chooses to run at 720p though. but in the back it says 1080p is supported...

i will see to it... probably i will have to manually choose 1080 in the settings and uncheck 720p like in cod4.

Nope, it will run in 1080p even with 720p checked.

I can confirm that.
