Snake's old man ass crack == black hole

Damn that vid was intense.

Great fight scene! Hopefully the story is not as confusing as MGS2

who are the 2 guys fighting near the end, i thought i knew but now i don't think im right.

The fight scene at the end was ridiculous. This is more of what I expected for the next gen consoles.

the guy that helps meryl in the sun glasses is Raiden.

Wow, just like the old days. It feels good to once again be bored stiff watching a lame MGS story unfold in front of my eyes. I did make it to the 3 minute mark of the trailer before my corpus callosum tremored.

@joeisremy

you noticed the blonde hair under the balaclava too, huh? what do you think our conspiracy theories are? think there are two Raidens? one the classic soldier and one the crazy dark ninja? Solid Raiden perhaps?

Hey, is this game coming to the 360? It looked pretty cool...that Raiden guy looked kinda effeminate though.

Hmm...a new video...

*watches trailer*

...oh...my...*head asplodes*

Seriously though, the theatrics are al nice and stuff, plus the notion of a worldwide release is nice, but i'd like to see some gameplay now. I mean...if the Gekko roar/screech sets off the foxdie, and it causes snake to become all disfunctional, then, does that transfer into gameplay too? I mean, im not the only one that noticed that the soldiers started going mad after a screech is heard, right?

Still psyched for the game though.

Kojima always says this is the last game in the series, with every new Metal Gear Game

I freaking love Paul Eiding's voice. Watching the Japanese trailers were nice, but just hearing those familiar voices made me crack a smile.

Raiden = bad ass.

This game is still not very colourful, but apart from that it looks pretty awesome.

Still ain't getting a PS3 purely for this game, but I do want to play it sometime.

I have only one thing to say about the fight... Double Penetration.

You don't think so Sniper? :(

Not so much...just sayin'

ZOH MAH GAWD

Dammit, I seriously am going to have to shell out for a PS3, and that makes me a sad panda

@Ron-is-a-liar - Hey stupid, just because it's not announced for that other console at E3 doesn't mean it's not coming later. Quit being such a stupid dick and go bother people at Kotaku.

@the rest - that was a really neet fight scene that I won't get to control . . . but will still have to watch. Damn you, kojima. You build such an awesome hype machine to sell us the same fucking game. I mean, there was a big jump from 1 to 2, with the addition of all the first person controls, etc, but Snake eater? They just took a bunch of frustrating crap that you have to access from the slowest loading PS2 menu is recent history. I was really excited when I heard this game may be making a cross platform release at some point, but now I just don't care. Kojima's statement about a war economy in this particular trailer seems particularly applicable to the MGS economy as well. It only exists for it's own sake; any reason for it to exist died long ago.

CONFIRMED: That fight scene is playable

@Stripe:

Well, the general consensus is that Metal Gear is, in fact, a good series, which means that MGS4 is (probably) going to be a good game. YOUR mileage may vary, but last I checked, "good games" were not decided by TheStripe - never mind the fact that your definition of a "good game" is painfully absent. Instead, all I got from your post was a whole lot of BOOOO HOOO HOOO, which is the antithesis of the PEW! PEW! PEW! that's abundant on this site.

I'm certainly not shedding any tears over the Mario and Halo series not winding up on PS3 - both "good series" with "good games" in their respective rights - but I won't talk badly about them because of that.
