GC: Metal Gear Solid 4 - Cinematic

Love the new bosses, the sounds they make are quite unnerving, espcially Crying Wolf.

RAGE!

This is why I don't like Kojima: people with post traumatic stress disorder DON'T become "War Machines". They become curled up gibbering wrecks in need of mind altering drugs and years of therapy.

But Kojima gets some cool dude to spout this nonsense in a weird Japanese interpretation of shitty american B-Movie actors, and everyone lauds him for his storytelling genius.

Nice cinematics, though.

wtf?

those beasts look like something envisioned by h.r giger. crazy stuff

Okay...

It's like a cross-over between the psychotic bosses from MGS3 and comic-book style bosses from MGS2.

Something was very wrong with that cut scene.

Oh yes, I've got it, he didn't crouch down and stick his finger in his ear at the end of it.

Man, a couple of landmines could have done the job, there was what, 10 guys, no need for like 4 bosses. Thats just a miss management of reasources.

Seriously though, that was really cool, kinda scary. The pallet still bothers me though, needs more colour and i know its in the middle east and there isnt much colour blah blah blah but i dont care.

I've heard of miss management, she's quite nice, apparently.

How best to convey rage :

Shout RAGE! RAAAAAGE!!! GRRR RAGE!

Must have this game... can't wait!!!

For some reason, I expected to see RoboCop somewhere in there...

Meh, the first Kojima cutscene that I found clearly dull.

I am sad, but my interest in MGS4 took a big hit after this. Apart from *horrible* framerate (hope the fault is in the player), the enemies are just weird and nothing more: no charisma, no "empathy", no fluid animation (the flying ones are incredibly rigid in their movents), nothing. Direction, rhythm and camera motions are bland and uninteresting. Sad.

It's very impressive and everything, but these characters do look a bit too over the top.

...Not that I'd argue previous enemies haven't been somewhat ridiculous, but compared to these they seem relatively 'normal'.

That wolf one was like an evil robotic Ameratsau (that's Okami, you fucking heathens).

But, well, nice cutscenes are one thing, what the hell is the actual game like?

Can't fuckin wait for this game

*Congratulates Dave for knowing about the wonderful Okami*

"But, well, nice cutscenes are one thing, what the hell is the actual game like?"

A bit shit actually, if the one video I've seen so far is anything to go by.

@ Triggerhappytel

I suppose if it was on the 360 with 'achievements' it would be completely different story then ?

its pedan.....oh, wait

@Arbiter

There's also a lot more to storytelling than shouting "RAAGE!" and laughing maniacally.

All that next-gen processing POWAR, and it looks almost monochrome.

Someone's been watching Spider-man 2, then.

I agree that this is the first MGS4 cinematic that didn't immediately impress me. Perhaps because of the insane cheese factor, but more likely due to the horrendous shaky-cam overkill. Directors really need to innovate better ways of portraying frantic drama. Jesus.

I'm getting this game it looks cool
new bosses look badass

New bosses look freak and that's it.

Cant wait to play this game

Cant wait to play this game
