Watch the E3 Metal Gear trailer

By Ellie Gibson Published 9 May, 2006

Is this the end for Solid Snake?

The Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer shown at Sony's pre-E3 press conference is now yours to view via Eurogamer TV - and it's well worth checking out.

We won't spoil it for you, other than to say that the trailer suggests a political theme to the game, a bit of mech action and the return of some old friends. And as for the ending...

If that doesn't satisfy your appetite for PS3, you can also watch the Sony conference in its entirety - just head on over to Eurogamer TV.

    I bet the codec conversations will be great in 'The true HD'

  • Cloudane #2 6 years ago

    That last image is absolutely gripping stuff!

  • Knot #3 6 years ago

    The trailer looks phenomenal. Compaired to the TGS trailer I noted these things :

    - less particle FX ; less dust, papers & debris flying around
    - less pronounced normal mapping & less specular highlights

    About story & characters : at the end of MGS2 Snake stated he lives on to pass on meme. Why has he turned 180 degrees in MGS4 to erase meme ?

    I hope the Konami E3 presentation does feature real gameplay since this trailer still doesn't show any concrete answers.

    oh Raiden is back. Joy.

  • Scurrminator #5 6 years ago

    yeah but at least he looks cool in that ninja costume!

  • Rociel #6 6 years ago

    What the hell is wrong with raiden's lower jaw?

  • space_ace #7 6 years ago

    kojima's style looks much better than current "aaa" directors like ridley scott, etc. the long shot is a great example, like Cloudane noted!

  • lambtron #8 6 years ago

    I did not think it was possible for Raiden to look more effeminate. I was wrong.

  • Zuiyo #9 6 years ago

    There is a "gay" in "ningya".

  • valli #10 6 years ago

    What the hell is wrong with raiden's lower jaw?

    It looks like he has some sort of protection piece over his chin and lower teeth. Scary future stuff!

    The trailer is very impressive, probably the most wanted PS3 game right now.

  • BillGaitas #11 6 years ago

    is it just me or snake is older since the last mgs4 trailer

    and Raiden seems to have crossed the border to the other side, i dont think protecting is a good thing when its said by him

    If Kojima kills Snake I'm gonna cry my eyes out. but it would be really cool! :)

  • Bezzy #13 6 years ago

    Snake is already dead. He died after being shot by a russian balaclava dude in MGS2... According to my experience, anyway.

    Yep. Didn't reload from the check point after that.

    Snake is already dead. He died of boredom playing the previous two games.

  • Vin #15 6 years ago

    ^^^

    Go home folks. It's all over.

  • Teeth #16 6 years ago

    "didn't reload from the checkpoint after that"

    lol... that's extreeeeme gaming! One life and you're out.

    "so you'd like to return the game Sir? May I ask, what is your reason?"

    "I died. My character died. I didn't win."

  • BillGaitas #17 6 years ago

    lol that is so funny

    not quit playing, you know the thing teeth just posted

    Well now. The first reason to get excited about the PS3. Very cool stuff. I just hope that the final images aren't merely a ploy to get me all interested. That would be quite a thing to do to a top-selling franchise. (But no, this still doesn't top MGS2's spine-chilling trailer.

    Then again, Kojima must be bored to death of MGS, so I guess he can do whatever the hell he wants to with it, if only he agrees to direct it.

  • Arwin #20 6 years ago

    If this gets you excited, wait until the 15 minute trailer is released around 19:00 GMT today on konami's MGS site.
