Only a month left before trying Metal Gear Solid 4. To better cope with the wait, we are offering you these new images in high definition, some of them taken from a japanese event.
those bikes are like real Triumph bikes modeled after the exact model of bike... i thought that was pretty cool, crotch rockets would have been cooler but...i need a ps3 :(

Yeah it's part of an advertising deal with Konami and them. Also, cellphones. Not surprising Konami would resort to this considering MGS4 will likely be the most expensive videogame this side of Shenmue, and it's only releasing on one console.
Anyway, I'm secluding myself from society for an entire week when MGS4 releases. Turning off my cell, locking my door, not going to work or anything.

I don't like the over smoothness of the skin on the girl/woman, surely in this gen we should be seeing skin textures and pores and what not.
Now.. why, when games look beautiful, do some people still try to think of small stuff to be all cool and act as if it looks bad.
Mehh, @ Ezekiel_Xz: I agree with you, they both can do the exact same thing, sometimes there are slight differences. But for me it's just that I hate that MS brings out 100 different types of 360's, I've got the noisy old one without HDMI. I'm bothered, now if it breaks again, I should be able to bring it to them and get a new HDMI enabled one.
This is the reason why I got me a PS3: silent, same graphics, awwwwsome games, not as heat-producing (as a '1st-gen' 360)
This is the only game i want a PS3 for.... tho i think i will wait see what happens =) slow sales mite help the game along to the 360......but as this game is the only life line i see for the PS3 i can,t see sony lettin it go that easy...... still they dont own the IP
Yeah prodygee I do agree, the 360 did have some problems, but the latest model with HDMI and the falcon chips is every bit as stable as the ps3.
In my personal exeprience there just isnt enough games for the ps3 yet, not enough must own titles. So I tend to play on my 360 more, this week lined up I have lost oddysey, eternal sonata and mass effect. For the ps3 I really have nothing to do until MGS4, especially since Haze has fallen flat on its arse.
For me the ps3 is a good machine, a little expensive but a well built machine with good funtionality. But the games are just not coming fast enough, lets hope for more must own titles like MGS4.
cant wait. after recently completing GTA4, and not really thinking much of the ending (although the game as a whole is awesome) i think its pretty much a dead cert that this will be my personal GOTY. there isnt anything else this year on any platform that im that interested in, plus MGS is my fave game ever. man i cant wait, graphics look unreal (no, not the engine) the game has improved a lot visually. just look at some of the images over at IGN that show these same scenes but from months back. its a whole world of difference.
as for those questioning the amount of gameplay. its ~30 hours long, 1 third of which is cut-scenes. so theres still 15-20 hours of gameplay in there. more then most. the more i see the more i cant wait.
I heard there is a filter option in the game were you can choose to have blur or have it sharp (like the images)
But if these images are with the filters off then that is what I am going for, looks so much better, like a new upgraded engine for the game.
These are just bullshots. The resolution and AA on those shots is too good for any current system. The final game will definitely look fantastic, but not nearly as sharp.

Lol. No. I'm sorry but the Bioshock situation is completely different. Sigh. GeoW 2 would be a better comparison to MGS4.
It's not a different situation. They said they wouldn't bring Bioshock to PS3, and what do you know? They're bringing it out this fall on PS3. Konami is 3rd party, not 1st party. Same goes for 2K Games. They'll bring it out for 360, why? MONEY, they want MONEY. Money makes the world go round and round. And, Gears 2 isn't a better example because Microsoft Game Studios is publishing it. Last time I checked Sony isn't publishing MGS4, Konami is, and oh what do you know? They're 3rd party. 3rd Party can release their game on any platform regardless of what Kojima says. He's on a leash by Konami.

Is it confirmed that these are bullshots? If so then, ah well, I didn't have any problems with their engine to begin with.

There's a difference. Bioshock was originally planned to be released for PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3, but it later became a Microsoft exclusive. MGS4 has only been developed for PS3 and Kojima would want it to be played to the fullest extent and that is on the PS3.

Actually, NeoNemesis has a point. Im not saying MGS4 is coming to 360, but to say Konami would lose out on potential sales because of something as fluff as "Kojima would want it to be played to the fullest extent on the PS3", Im not buying. Konami watches the market just like everyone else, and right about now GTA IV has sold a lot more on 360 because of the bigger user base. And just like GTA, MGS has wandered off into other platforms as well.
What matters in the end is money. If MGS4 stays on the PS3 only, its because Sony paid a lot of money for that. Not because of Kojima's artistic preferences. If they didn't pay... well, then it all depends on the sales figures here. If its not selling as much as they would like to, who knows?
I am sure it could be done on the 360... just not on the DVD.
They have space for extra that's all I am saying, and that's why 360 couldn't pull of longevity and graphics.
And the only reason 360 version of GTA is better is becuase the machine is much easier to develop for, and developing them simultaneously, as many developers do, doesn't work for PS3 as well, because it's streamlined differently.
And I prefer the look of the PS3 version, even thoguh on paper it's worse... in flesh it's much nicer. Besides the point, GTA would have been longer and seemed less stunted if there was more space.
Read the interviews with Sam Houser, and you can see what he thinks.
I don't think the length of this game and the garphcis could be on a 360, that was what I was trying to say... ofcourse the 360 could rpoduce these graphics...
It's just scary there are still people rushing to defend it the console.
