Finally we get to lay eyes on what we've been wanting to see all this time: real time Metal Gear Solid 4 game play. Hideo Kojima said that he would eventually get to show actual game play at a later time at Sony's press conference during the E3 Media & Business Summit earlier this month, and he stuck to his word, showing it off at Konami's Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Party yesterday.
GameVideos has managed to sneak us this demo video, hot off the presses. There is a full 15 minutes of game play goodness, with Kojima narrating the whole time. We get to see how the in-game camera moves, the amazing camouflage feature in action, and many other game play techniques. Marvel at 'Solid Eye' in action and even witness Mk.II kicking some PMC ass. Brilliant.

I'm so glad I still have my PS3. Lol. This game alone will be worth keeping it. I know the 360 thing is still up in there air, but hey. This game looks beautiful.
I'm excited about the online game as well considering I never got to check out the other online experience! Especially after I heard how good it was!
So did you just pull the drum out of your massive gluts?
What would be better is if you had to take the lid off of one and then climb in. You know, realism and what not? I thought that is what "Next-Gen" was all about!
Goddamn this game is gonna be the rox. I don't know how I feel about the circle of vibration around snake in stead of a radar, I'm sure they have some great reasons for the change.
Kurt Russell was the original model of Snake. I don't think he is being considered...

They didn't show this at E3 for a few reasons. Maybe they weren't ready with it? Also, they wanted to show off the new PSP, downloadable games, and price drop. That is ALOT of stuff to show off. MGS4 would've been overkill maybe.
Plus Kojima was probably saying, "Umm, you want this to remain a timed exclusive? Let me show it off at the Konami event!"
that camouflaging while Snake is on the floor doesn't look very convincing. and the fact that the soldiers fell for it is so dumb. about the metal barrel roll, it'd be really stupid if enemies can actually be killed that way.
Looks gorgeous, but must camouflage STILL require a pause menu? Why not just assign it to a button? Having to pause the game then, choose a specific sort of camouflage, really kill the flow of a game (see: MGS3).
i know man, fuckin menu cutscene land ahoy.
also, fuckin inner ear codec conversations that are about as entertaining as listening to that fuck kojima bemoan current affairs.
christ i want this game
That was pretty damn cool. Some of the animations seemed a bit awkward, but that might be just me.
One thing that kinda bothers me though is the fact that he just pulls out an RPG from outta nowhere. But I've never played a MGS game before and I guess thats just the way they do it.

Along with the fact that Cliffy B WISHES he were Hideo Kojima, the third person view shooting is taken more from Splinter Cell (which alternates between third person and over the shoulder view) than Gears of War (which is over the shoulder the whole time).
But I'll give you that humping the ground thing. Still, I'm pretty sure Snake doesn't do it to look good.
When the heck is the full 15 minute video gonna be back up? All my dicks are cumming in anticipation to cum! While I am greatly thankful for the youtube clips, I couldn't get off to them. The videos ended too soon. Which is saying quite a lot (not really).
That was amazing. Playstation 3 is looking like a winner to me. I was practically drooling on my keyboard. One of the reasons why I want a PS3. Thumbs way up from me.
Kojima's a very inspired wunderkind who needs to come out of puberty. I'm sure David's relieved, now that the itch on his balls has been scratched after 300 years. And the fact that you can put your captives on the floor and hump/rape them into unconsciousness is something I've always dreamed about but never had the courage to do. If you'd rather them standing, simply squeeze their balls really, really hard. I know I'd pass out. From sheer joy!
Now if Snake could only carry a digital camera so I could upload some of those "men's magazines" to my porn server.
For all of you people with 360s hoping it will come to that system here is latest news from the Metal Gear 20th Anniversary Party.
After party is just getting started. Big time industry names like Mizuguchi and Suda51 are about. One, though, stands out. Xbox Japan honcho Takashi Sensui makes his way through the crowd. I pull him aside:
ME: "What did you think of the MGS4 gameplay demo?"
HIM: "It was very good."
"Why are there still rumors that MGS4 will appear on the Xbox 360?"
"What do you mean?"
"Kojima appeared on stage at a Sony event, saying it was an exclusive. But the rumors won't stop."
"Many of our users want MGS4 on the Xbox 360."
"Will they get it?"
"Ask him."
Sensui points to Kojima on stage.
"I don't mean to be rude," I say, "but why are you here then?"
"Kojima is an old friend of mine."

People need to understand that Sony and Kojima have a movie deal which is probably in exchange for MGS4 Ps3 exclusivity.
Goddamn this game is gonna be the rox. I don't know how I feel about the circle of vibration around snake in stead of a radar, I'm sure they have some great reasons for the change.
That game looks absolutely amazing glad i have a ps3 this justifies the purchase.
PoeticJustice where did you get the idea that they have a movie deal from?
the ending of that first youtube video is strange yet funny, Snake gets his Rape on
So, is this gameplay MGS4 running on the PS2 or 360?
So, is this gameplay OF MGS4 running on the Ps3 or 360?
Sorry, me no talkie good.
I heard about the movie too. I believe Kojima is looking for a Snake and trying to get a good script.
@BlindsideDork: Kurt Russell?
coonskin05:
They haven't even mentioned the possibility of a 360 version yet, so I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume that this is running on the PS3 hardware.
Ah, looks fantastic. I'm not sure if this is worth purchasing a PS3 for, however.
Kurt Russell FTW!!!

I mean it was only fitting since it was the 20th anniversary...
So was it a required part of the statue camouflage that he cup the balls of the statue next to him?
I want this game NOW.
PLEASE be for 360 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...
That ish looks so pretty.
Toneman, don't you mean you want it MEOW!?
@shadow I bet you can't say meow 20 times when making an arrest.

For the statue bit, anyway. The other camouflage stuff looked pretty streamlined and badass.
They should call this game Metal Gears of War Solid, and Cliffy B should sue for custody.
Also, after watching Snake shimmy forward on the ground by making love to the floor I had to wash my eyeballs.
i know man, fuckin menu cutscene land ahoy.

well all the games in the MGS series so far have been known to break the 4th wall.
And it is a bit arcadey when it comes to things like carrying 3 different labeled boxes, an rpg, granade launches and a sniper all at the same time.
I think mono should shut up.
Along with the fact that Cliffy B WISHES he were Hideo Kojima, the third person view shooting is taken more from Splinter Cell (which alternates between third person and over the shoulder view) than Gears of War (which is over the shoulder the whole time).

This was amazing. I'd almost forgotten that MGS4 is a game.
I can roll in a drum till I vomit then jerk it to a titty mag while the puke taste is still fresh in my mouth. Whats not to like here?
This is going to be one of the best games of the whole next generation. I guarantee it, so does Kojima-san.
That games looks so good I'll buy it for the PS3 and then wait a couple of months and buy it on the 360.
When the heck is the full 15 minute video gonna be back up? All my dicks are cumming in anticipation to cum! While I am greatly thankful for the youtube clips, I couldn't get off to them. The videos ended too soon. Which is saying quite a lot (not really).
It seems my wee-wee has been stricken with rigor mortis.

what a cool little feature, when Snake controls the little robot he use's a PS3 controller
lmao at people still thinking it will be on the 360

Seriously, when can I buy this game?
OMG I am in love with this game
