Anybody else really looking forward to the next Metal Gear Solid game? It's looking likely that the game will be on the 360 too, which is nice. Means there's no need to get a PS3 (unless it shapes up a bit.)
I really hope Hideo Kojama has managed put his usual quirks into MGS4, though (whatever may have been said in interviews).
I'm playing through MGS3 again, and apart from its attention to detail, what takes it beyond other action/adventures is the humour, the dialogue (even saving the game is fun thanks to the Paramedic) and the surreal nature of the foe you encounter. I like how the MGS games are painfully self-aware of the gaming medium and of their place in gaming. I find other similar stealth games so po-faced and unimaginative after playing through the bizarre twists of an MGS game. But perhaps that's just me....

I certainly am not. I don't think I'd even pop it in once if the game and system for it were given to me for free.

My favorite series ever and MGS3:Subsistence was my favorite game ever, so yeah I think I might give this game a try. Indeed the series is just overloaded with imagination and panache. It's almost shameless in the way it fuses so many stylistic concepts into its framework. And thank god it doesn't take itself too seriously. There's some gameplay and control flaws they need to work on though.

yes, MGS4 does look good but i dunno if it will be coming to 360. however, kojima says he does like the 360 and has been playing gears of war and that he wants to develop something for the console.

I hope it's PS3 only so they can load the game with a kajillion gigs of crap without having to span multiple discs.
And free online, if indeed the online game is included. Which it probably won't be until Metal Gear Solid 4- Subordination

Really looking forward to this. I don't know how much of the 11 minute trailer video I watched was in-game "playable" footage, but it really does look incredibly well presented either way. I don't think it will disappoint.

So far, at least, mgs4 is only listed as being for ps3.

Yeah. I think it turns out that it was just a rumour; but I still wouldn't be surprised if it eventually made its way to the 360.

I just bought metal gear portable ops, and its one of the most dry, boring games I have played in a while. Disappointed, because I have always wanted to try out one of these metal gear games.

I haven't played it, but I bet it's not the best place to start; it probably has more value to someone who knows the series. I recommend you start with MGS1 (if you're not one of those sad people who can't play a game just because "its graphics are outdated!" (in which case you could maybe try Twin Snakes for the gamecube?)) and then work your way up.

I expect it will be on the 360, it will only be exclusive on the PS3 for so long. It would be a silly business decision not to do this. This game has an astronomical budget, why limit sales to the PS3 when the 360 userbase is so big? It just seems so logical, and Kojima's interviews have been so ridiculously vague and non-committal.
I'm just worried about them gimping the PS3 version to make the eventual porting process less painful. Take advantage of all that storage space.

Will it even be possible? I mean, how large is mgs4? Could a regular dvd handle it?

With all that speech (possibly even keeping the original Japanese voices) and all the stuff they cram into MGS games, I doubt it. Gears of War apparently pretty much maxed out its single 9gb DVD.
But I don't think they'd hesitate to put it on 2 DVDs. I don't know how much stuff they're looking to cram into there but typically, Metal Gear games aren't huge and this one doesn't look to be using super high res textures or anything.
For reference, Blue Dragon 360 is going to be 3 on DVDs. That's not so bad because it's an RPG. Taking 10 seconds to change discs twice in about 80 hours isn't so bad. The original Metal Gear was 2 CDs, and recently Resident Evil 4 was 2 discs, and it doesn't really hinder the experience. I'm more worried about Grand Theft Auto 360, that's the kind of game that the limited disc space could REALLY gimp, because of the expansive way they're laid out.

They'd probably leave out the extraneous stuff like the Japanese voice track. And this is assuming there won't be a multi-player mode. I don't know how big the game is going to, and I'm sure Kojima doesn't want to put it on the 360, but cramming it on 2 or 3 DVDs is a good concession to make if they want to make a profit. Because actually I don't think they'd gimp the PS3 version anyway, no matter what. I did Kojima's honor a disservice by even thinking of that. :_-(

I don't think Kojima is all too interested in money, at least not to the extent that he'd compromise anything, no; you don't get games like that when you compromise. I also think Konami knows that the best way to make money is to actually let Kojima have his way.

Yeah it's pretty much confirmed, although no juicy info yet. There was a funny interview a while back with Kojima talking about it and how he would never let Uwe Boll anywhere near it. He also mentioned that he wanted Sean Bean to play Snake. Coincidentally, Snake looks EXACTLY like Sean Bean in the MGS4 trailer.
I've never really liked any videogame movies, but they're pretty inconsequential to a series' rep, so what the hell, go for it. It could be interesting, if nothing else. Done right, it would be a blast, but maybe a bit too weird for the typical moviegoer.
