Haha, Snake was holding that statue's penis. And he looks like he is humping the floor when he crawls.

And what the hell is that with the rolling barrel move? It's Carry On Metal Gear.

Some of the animations look hilarious - that stooped run looks like a hunchbacked grandad going to the shops. That face down crawl looks like a baby learning how to shift forwards / a teenager shagging his bedroom floor.

The crawl on his back looks most ridiculous of all - I have never seen anyone move like that. Certainly isnt Tactical Espionage Adventure stuff.

Pretty funny stuff ;)

It played well.. but I found the AI a bit daft, the colors a bit boring but graphics are nice and fluid (nothing that we have never seen before). It does seem more like a comicbook stealth game :) Adult magazines??? :)

All in all... probably a great game, let's hope the story is not very weird.

And I feel the choke move may now be violating soldiers in two ways at once.

But for the first time I really want this game, damn you PS3!

MGS games have always had a comical edge. Why the surprize for this one? They are just extensions of stuff they have done before.

Switching weapons / camo looked a bit cumbersome, but overall very impressed. I want.

Looks awesome.

The thing is, with all the MG games, they come up with all these new awesome looking moves and then when I actually play the games I end up not bothering using them because they're more hassle than they're worth. Hopefully it's as easy to throw grenades lying on your back etc as it looks.

God that looks fucking incredible!! Great to see Kojima's as silly as ever. The PS3 is really gaining momentum now, it's the only "next-gen" console I'm interested in at the minute. Metal Gear 4, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, White Knight Story, Final Fantasy XIII etc. bring it on! :)

*edit* "Metal Gear 3, Final Fantasy XII" -_-

Needs quite a bit of work, especially on the enemy AI, and a handful of the animations, etc (not out anytime soon, so plenty of time to address those). Would of been nice if the graphics could be improved too, I was expecting this to really push the envelope in that department, but it looks not to be the case. Not a system seller, but looking a decent game all the same.

LMAO go jack off over Master Chief

Xbots are funny. 1 minute they're begging for this game to get ported, but when it's confirmed not then the game is suddenly 'meh' etc :)

Have you played MGS before?

Tactical Espionages don't have bosses with super powers.... your 10 years (probably 20 if the Metal Gear games are the same) to late for that criticism. :)

It looks good, very good in fact, just not mind blowing. It's definitely one for the MGS fans.

I'm sure if this wasn't MGS4 but a game from another dev inspired by MGS, few would be really excited by that gameplay footage. In otherwords, you wouldn't look at this gameplay footage and say "OMG, I can't wait to play this game", unless you're already a MGS fan.

And I'm still not sold on the whole camouflage idea..."Hey look at me...or not, I'm invisible, despite the fact that from where you're standing, my camouflage doesn't match the background, and there's a great big shadow underneath me".

Yeah I know, it's only a game. :P

Pulling a metal barrel out of your pants, climbing inside and knocking two armoured blokes unconscious by rolling into their legs. Getting out, vomiting, and needing to look at some soft porn to feel better. Video game logic in action!

I would say that overall it looks graphically excellent, except for the anims. Many of them frankly look pretty poor. That said, the overall experience is unlikely to suffer as a result.

Looking good.

Nice to finally see crouch walking and an aiming reticule for the guns. In fact, a lot of that looked to be pretty heavily influenced by Splinter Cell.

Graphics looked good without really wowing me but the atmosphere seemed to be there.

One thing I didn't like the look of was the clumsy camo menu (much like number 3 had). Having to pause the game to select certain camo types was a right old pain and it seems to be rearing its ugly head in this one too.

Still, this is easily the most exciting thing coming to PS3 (for me at least). I just can't bring myself to buy one for one game. So unless this does make the leap to 360 I ain't going to be playing it.

Looks great. Lol at him holding the penis from the statue. I must say, this looks more like splinter cell than mgs in terms of gameplay.

It needs more contrast, i know the middle east is sandy & dusty n stuff but the pallette is bland and boring. Whats the point in changing the camo when everything is the same colour?

It most certainly is. Its how you move on your back on the floor in BJJ and Krav Maga.

It should be pointed out for people complaining about the AI, that it was almost certainly being played on easy or possibly very easy difficulty. All they wanted to do was show you the game and not show how difficult it could be, stop complaining about how crap the AI is and just think about the game-play mechanics possible in it.

Oh my god! I´m color blind.

Now seriously, MGS is definitely an adquired taste.

The wet dream of any colour blind sixaxis virtuoso with an interest in fit old men with moustache and a magic lycra suit.

Is this what all playstation fanboys have been raving about? I’ve only played MGS1 so I didn't realise it all got so silly.
edit: One thing still remains though, the enemy don’t have any peripheral vision

The only thing that bugged me was the enemies never noticed anything out of the corner of their eye...or like 70 degrees from where they're facing either.

Despite that though, this looks awesome and I have no intention of buying a PS3 and have only played MGS briefly before, so nyah to the people saying it's only MGS fans saying that this looks good.

I like the crazy though, barrel roll? pure genius!

There used to be a time once, when MGS was genre-defining and innovative. Yet all I see in this, is ideas swiped from every other game since released. Splinter Cell with a camo-suit comes to mind.

Looks ok, but nowhere near on the same level as the first 2. At least the story should be top-notch.

Looks good and will be purchasing!! However, how dumb are the enemy! I'd sure notice a modern combat orientated statue (snake) if it was next to a classical greek/roman statue a bit out of place no?

Also when camo'd against a wall, suit does not cover the head so im sure even a mildly inteligent soldier would notice "floating hair & head band!!"

Still looks nice tho :)
