Good news, I'm getting the camera tripod out!

Plus I figured out how to turn on macro mode. Get some good snaps in 5-10 mins :D

[Nightz]

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

evil, evil man. :p

[Dance.]

I really want to get a PS3 now.

[Richard Hammond]

Do it, i did just for this game :)

[Lauguu]

I really want to get a PS3 now.

[Dance.]

If only I could con convince my parents into buying it for me.

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"

[CY:G]

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:

[popisdead uk]

So then, how does it look so far? Does it look clean and crisp, or hazy and jaggy?

[Richard Hammond]

Audio can you remap the buttons at all?

It would be nice to have aiming and shooting with the triggers if youve got them gioteck snap on things.

[Sethos]

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 :(

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

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.

[Sethos]

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 :)

[ZonoBurk]

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.

[CY:G]

Nice, graphics look awesome, thanks for the pics and keep posting.

Im actually glad about the subtitles :D

[Coldgunner]

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 ;)

[MGS4-SS]

6 more days until us normal people can get the game!

Damn you Audioboxer! Damn you!

Hope you enjoy it :D

[Richard Hammond]

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.

[Richard Hammond]

Fair enough thanks for the info. Have fun.

[KoL Veteran]

damn you audio hahaha

I have to go to Walmart and see if they have it already. They always have stuff before the release date.
