15 minutes of awesomeness.
Full Version: MGS4 Gameplay video
I'm almost through the whole video now, and this is just incredible.
lmfao @ Barrel roll!
Holy shit... that was amazing. My jaw was to the floor the entire time. 
NO lie. . that is seriously worth a PS3 I think now. >_>
lol @ lower back pain.
lol @ lower back pain.
This game's looking most impressive. The rolling barrel followed by puking Snake was pure comedic gold.

Now the question is... will this be included as part of MGS4, or is it a stand alone (and possibly download only?) title?

The first details and gameplay footage of Metal Gear Online for the PlayStation 3 were pulled out of the hat today at Konami's Metal Gear 20th Anniversary event in Japan.
The online title, which will shortly be going into closed beta with a select team of 3,000 Japanese beta testers, was one of a series of announcements that the company chose to make at its own dedicated event--as opposed to at this year's E3, where Konami caused a stir with its 15-minute press conference.
The official recruiting period for the open beta will be from July 24 to August 6, and the actual beta testing will run from August 7 to September 3. So far the open beta is also Japanese only, although Kojima Productions assistant producer Ryan Payton stated that he would like to see the beta go international--but as yet has no official announcements.
The game will be a kind of hide-and-seek for up to 16 players at a time, and is called a "strategic multiplayer experience." It will feature the SOP system which allows players to keep track of their teammates via nanomachines injected into their bloodstream. The nanomachines allow them to see where the rest of their team are, their condition, which way they are aiming, and their range of sight. Enemy soldiers can also be injected with nanomachines, which will enable the other team to then keep track of their movements.
Metal Gear Online will also feature playable characters and environments from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and is slated as a PS3 exclusive.

Ok guys here's the plan. Lets all not buy a PS3. If enough people don't buy a PS3 Konami has gotta pull a Resident Evil 4 Capcom and release it on Xbizzle360. Then the whole AT crew can get online, tranquilize Crush and have a Teabag party!

Yep that was pretty good...besides the trademark stiff walking/crouching animation everything else looked pretty awesome... getting closer and closer each day in buying a PS3,especially since the 150 bucks price drop up here in Canada.
EDIT: how come it seems i can only reply with quotes to post now and i get a lot of red X's for the small gif's all over the place??

MGS4 bosses revealed. Are the clones of the MGS1 bosses, or just homages? The all look pretty weird though, but it fits with the design of the new mini-metal gears and Solidus' armor from MGS2.
EDIT: Also a new trailer from the Liepzig games convention!

A video from Hideo Kojima explaining a little bit about the bosses:
http://gamevideos.com/video/id/14182
They are all female, he calls their current state "the ultimate casualty of war."
Also: The blonde girl in the video is totally smokin!
Also also:
@ "Monsters in MGS? Is this HALO? Is this GEARS OF WAR?"
Kojima rocks total!

Man, I fucking love Kojima.
He's to me what Stanley Kubrick is to aspiring filmmakers.
Total skeetgasm over here.

Awesome. Interesting idea to model the characters off of real people. I'm curious as to if they're going anywhere else with this. (Without making any insinuations.)
Kojima= F'ing genius. That is all.

This is indeed fantastic news. But alas, I am lacking a PS3.
Time to do some saving. I've read that this PS3 will be backwards compatible. Not too bad.
Yeah, hopefully they don't gouge us too much for the bundle. How much was the old 80 gig one? $400?
Well shit, I know when I'm getting my PS3 haha. That's a sweet bundle, I'm definitely down. 
Awesome!
Start saving those pennies now!

That was certainly elaborate. That trumps even Blizzard's "Tauren Marine" gag.
I'm a Metal Gear fantatic. I'm going to start playing through them all again like always do before a new Metal Gear comes out. One of the only 3 game franchises I can sit through and beat. My brother got out PS3 stolen so I have I'ma have to buy the bundle of course.
hey guys, I stole a ps3 off of some chump, so I'm ready to go when it comes out.

Ok......i'm beside myself now. What exactly is all that about?
Looks like snake is having some bad acid flashbacks... I like how his face looks like the PSX graphics right before he wakes up.
EDIT: Here's the answer! http://kotaku.com/386418/more-info-about-m...id-4-flashbacks
Seems like a cool feature, especially if your memory needs jogging or you haven't played all the old games.
