Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Comments by Oli Welsh

Also the camoflage is improved by immense amounts in this iteration. Sneaking around near invisible with ease in MGO, taking out people in the middle of an online battle is a total relief compared to the menu hell of MGS3

@ Widge

The camoflage in MGS4 is the one thing I'm not looking forward to. Lying on the ground or against a wall then "blending in" sounds really really dumb. I hope you will be able to turn it off or not use it!

"porting it to the 360 will probably suck. That's just Cell."

Are you really so naive to believe 'teh cell' is the wonderchip it's been played up to be? We've seen proof that it isnt, over and over and over.

The reason MGS wouldnt work on the 360 is that 360 owners wouldnt put up with the crap PS3 owners lap up (i.e. a complete lack of gameplay for cutscenes)

Having worked for PlayStation in the past, let me fill you in on a little secret.
The creation of the Emotion Engine and the Cell has more reasons than the average consumer knows.
Sony doesn't even see the "its hard to develop for" as a big drawback, because that everyone who makes a Tripple A game on their hardware (using all the power in the chipset), will have a hard time porting it to other hardware. Call them arrogant all you want, but to Sony, that's a big plus. Just like MGS2 had its issues on the Xbox, a 360 port of MGS4 will be hard to do. Or Konami has to put its best programmers on it, which it never will because they are always working on new stuff, and MGS doesn't sell enough copies in Xbox to shift them over to a 360 port.

Personally, I'd gladly see MGS4 going to 360. The more platforms, the more people can enjoy it. Just as stuff like Bioshock and stuiff should be on PS3 too. Share the wealth, is my motto.

Really? I mean in the context of the menu system of MGS3, its fantastic! Obviously they want to continue with the camo system it seems, so I'd rather this than a menu. I remember from the gameplay demo off PSN, you actively have to activate it though, a press of the button or a shake of the sixaxis... so perhaps its a bit more of a manage decision than the lie down and wait of MGO.

@ Widge

Yeah it's been improved but I just rather not have the active camo to be honest, it's just really stupid to me. I remember you activate it to look like the statue but did it need to be activated for the wall and floor blending? I'll have to have another look at the footage but I hope so, I'd much rather play through not using it at all as it did actually put me of when I saw that footage of Snake disappearing into the floor right next to an enemy.

looks amazing

LOVED playing MGS. HATED watching MGS2. if this is more cutscene than game, they can fucking choke on dick for all i care.

RazorObsession: You should have played MGS3, it redeemed the series for any transgression in MGS2.

MGS3 is the most memorable, jaw-dropping game i ever played.
is this one ever gonna be on the pc or are they gonna make me buy a ps3.

i love mgs, so much so that i've taken the plunge and got me a ps3 ready for it
