Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - Arms companies

7 (6 ratings)

Get under the skin of the companies which make MGS4's hardware with these beautifully realised ads for arms companies, because it's not often you seen two women in beach-wear shooting at each other in the grasp of a giant, skull-faced octopus. Unless you're into anime, in which case it's probably pretty old hat by now.

Bizarre!

Although it did have women and tentacles in the same segment so it ticked all the boxes for 'Japanese mentalist video'.

Maybe it's supposed to be what leads to the war in MGS4...

I think they are elaborate trailers for some of the bosses in MGS4 no? Or at least the technology behind them... interesting idea... but a bit 'too' surreal possibly.

They're mocked-up adverts that the in-game (or at least in-universe) private military companies would produce! Love the last one, a piss-take of today's arty perfume ads =)

They're in-game ads, meant to help with the immersion.

My first reaction... WTF!?? thought they were pre-trailer adds, then read the comments... then watched it a few times more... wow, now i get it, why do i like that bit with the chicks and the octi-thing so much??
Wondering is this a vibe that will be prevalent in the game or just some advertising fluff? (for example adverts that might be visible on a tv screen in the game)

Oh dear. It looks like MGS4 may well be as pretentious as MGS2. :(

this is great, a bit lets say too real though i think thats where everyone is getting the confusion if it was in game engine i think it will have been more obviouse but i love it.
at firts i did think it was a weird sony marketing ad though, but i think they have a new marketing team now.
