The final green image in the sequence appears to resemble the Xbox 360 power button icon at first glance--though the icon itself is a standard power-related image used across many platforms. The "i" could also be a reference to either the iPhone, the Wii, or the upcoming Nintendo DSi.
The teased game could turn out to be anything from a new title in the Metal Gear Solid Ac!d series to an Xbox 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4.
Edit: Maybe it's an anagram
I really don't think they could bring a game like MGS4 to the 360. Didn't they have to use a dual-layered blu-ray disk?
well maybe with multiple discs, but it'd be quite a bit of them cuz it'd take over 5 DLDVDs
Maybe there's one in the works that is tailor made for the 360 or they are just trying to say that it's "on" because that symbol is on just about every piece of computer hardware with a power button.
it turns out because MGS4 is his opus he didn't compress ANYTHING. like if radiohead released one last album but you can only buy it on vinyl and .flac format. so no, it didn't USE that space, he just refused to save them in decent formats or whatever.I figured as much.
The symbol at the end is exactly the same as the 360 power button.
we had a discussion about this when the game came out because I could not believe the game used that much, because it looked good but NOT THAT GREAT. I mean it doesn't look much better than say Dead Space or GoW2. it turns out because MGS4 is his opus he didn't compress ANYTHING. like if radiohead released one last album but you can only buy it on vinyl and .flac format. so no, it didn't USE that space, he just refused to save them in decent formats or whatever.
I dont buy it considering it had to install shit to the harddrive during every play, if it's a massive time saver I sure didn't notice! also hideos a shit head.
I dont buy it considering it had to wait for it to load off the tape every play, if it's better than ticker tape I sure didn't notice! also hideos a shit head.
OH NO A 2 MINUTE INSTALL AT THE END OF A 3 HOUR CHAPTER.
20 years previously:
life is killing me :cry:
I hope so because then I'd have virtually no reason to buy a ps3
correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't MGS4 just suck ass really, really badly? Like I recall watching a few clips and it was just so horrible garbage (referring to the cutscenes) and the topic we had here didn't exactly praise it either.No way bro. It uses the superior hardware of the ps3 to deliver the most immersive next-gen tactical espionage experience to date.
Also a friend of mine whos really into MGS bought ps3 just for this and he's regretted it every day.
i only played it at a bros house (can't afford a ps3)
the 30 minute thing was a rumor but the ending might have clocked in that long with credits.
::looks down at the power symbol on his Sony laptop, it looks exactly the same as the symbol in the flash video::While I know it's the same symbol as on many things, the power symbol on the PC is not associated with being green, while green is the 360's official colour. I'm not saying this is definitly going to be for the Xbox, but it does seem rather likely to me considering that neither the Wii or PS3 have got GREEN power buttons.
:welp:
MGS4 is a dumb fucking game.
The story is so godawful compared to the rest of the canon.
Seriously I fucking hate that shit, I fucking hate Kojima.
I will never forgive him for those 10 hours i spent on line.
fuck metal gear
man i can't believe i own MGS4 AND an unopened MGS4 LE I really want to see the making of.

yah but he later made the point that i probably stands for iphone/pod and ! is the symbol for acid, its probably an acid for cellphones.Interesting choice of colour then, since green isn't associated with either the iPod or MGA.
you can make fun of him for saying canon but he's right in how awful the plot was.
the best part of MGS4 was psycho mantis coming back and flipping out that there's a ps3 and just being like GFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FUCK YOU GUY.
I'm so pissed because MGS4 started off with a pretty good story. I really liked how Rose married Colonel and all that shit, but they just threw everything away. I kept playing with SOME HOPE THE ENDING WOULD BE GOOD.
But that was the worst part of the whole game.
Real comedy ends with a marriage

i don't know anyone who actually enjoyed ac!d. i tried it once and i couldn't finish the tutorial. snake flippin' through cards :welp:
how did you guys play this game with friends over ???beers and constant wise-ass remarks
this is one of the dumbest games to play with PAL PRESENT IN ROOM because you will never know what the fuck is going on unless you play the whole game (even then GOOD LUCK) and half the time you aren't even playing. it is the ultimate anti-pal game.
there's still room for a gaseous or plasma snakeamorphous solid snake
you can play with a pal, just take it in turns to do the bosses cause you always die like 10 times when your doing a boss and you're drunk anywaythat was the dumbest boss fight ever
trying to stab vamp in the neck could've been easier
that was the dumbest boss fight ever
no, what was dumb was killing 30 gecko while half the screen is taken up by a fight involving foot swords and getting stabbed through the stomach multiple times.well at least with that it's pretty straightforward on what you're supposed to be doing
don't know much about MGS games, but I saw a cutscene from number 4 where Raiden (?) had some robots roped to his legs and he started breakdancing and swinging them around. what was that? it was hilarious.
nah, they'd think it was cool. if snake kisses a man surely it must be a-ok and not weird or anything.
If there were less dumb ass fan boys Kojima wouldn't have put as much stupid shit in this game like Raiden, but it is still inexcusable to have him come back like 3 times.i think that if left to his own devices, kojima would design a 20 hour cutscene with 40 minutes of gameplay
Yes, the breakdancing robots.
Look, Raiden was just the most ridiculous aspect of the game. It's like Kojima wanted to please everyone who thought Raiden was gay (quite the opposite as Raiden took out like 20 MG Rays, a harrier, a vampire, etc.) by making him as DRAGON BALL Z as humanely possible. The game is nothing but meandering and redundant conversations but Raiden was absolutely 100% RIDICULOUS.
MGS4 was awesome though. All the people who are bitching are bitching just for the sake of it. Most arguments are OH THIS WAS SO IMPROBABLE IN A COMPUTER GAME or THE CUTSCENES WERE TOO LONG but that's only because people LOVE moaning. When people moan they get a little jolt of satisfaction having vented something out of their system like GOD DAMN that feels good I made such a reiterated point there.How am I bitching just for the sake of it. The story sucks. The story sucks.
Compare MGS to an EA game. Compare it to most of the mindless drivel that came out this year. God it was so shit wasn't it [/not]
That moan felt great. I just came.

this is a dumb post, people complained because they paid over 60 dollars for a game with more cinematics than gameplay and although you'd expect those cinematics not to be boring they almost all were. the best cinematic was when you flipped through a tv at the beginning.
at least shitty mindless drivel knows it's mindless and doesn't actively insult your intelligence.
also renter places take a bit of time to get games anyways.
dude what. NONE of the MGS games had the number of cutscenes this one did.I dunno man, MGS3 was pretty gay in this regard because they hand over the controls to you for like 10 minutes then you get to the next area and there is a cutscene followed by a summary of the cutscene via codec then rince and repeat. They weren't super long or anything but they constantly kept pausing the gameplay and when they start discussing with some halfassed philosophical metaphors you just want to skip it all.
In the uk we have lovefilm where they post or "mail" you the film/game of your choice and you can have so many a month depending on your subscription. I do it for Blu Rays and PS3 games and it is a lot more economical than buying titles when they come out.
Having said this, I am totally happy with my £40 purchase of MGS4 as I have played though it many times.
Toward the end, everything got REALLY Japanese. There was one four minute period where everyone was going "oh! Ah! Uh!" instead of using actual dialog. It felt like I was watching fucking anime.
The game is of the “touch shooting” genre and will use the iPhone’s touchscreen for targetting as well as zoom mode control. The initial release will feature eight stages, with more to come in future updates. Progress in the game will be rewarded by unlocked images and wallpaper from the Metal Gear series.
This is an unfiar criticism because I am pretty sure that the game was supposed to come off as "REALLY Japanese" and that feeling like you were "watching fucking anime" was sort of the point.But none of the other games felt like this at all. And until about 3/4 the way through MGS4, it didn't feel like anime at all. It just sort of came out of nowhere.
Is the name official? Metal Gear SOLID TOUCH?If the name of the game is your biggest concern, you'll probably end up enjoying this game.
I think that apple trying to sell their iphone as a gaming platform is a huge crock of shit. The one you see advertised is "super monkey ball" which is one application of an accelerometer as directional control. Fantastic, love it, sure fire hit of a gimmick.Okay, this argument is full of holes.
Ok so what about games that require buttons? Imagine you're holding an iphone horizontally. You have the power to tilt the device and you have your two thumbs to inaccurately mash whatever is placed in the vicinity of the left and right sides of the screen.
How is a shooting gallery game even going to work? Would you feel okay about spending £35 per month on a contract phone then playing the casual gamer's equivalent of whack-a-mole as you attempt to stealthily shoot some grunts on the screen.
No. No. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Get a slim phone and a nintendo DS, secure them together with superglue. If that doesn't give you the sense of wellbeing an iPhone would then spray the bottom half silver and put an apple sticker on it so that your friends know you're serious about style and technology.
- The iPod Touch and iPhone are gaming platforms. Super monkey ball isn't the only game on it, as there are many others that use the accelerometer is even more creative ways.
Okay, this argument is full of holes.i was playing super mario bros 3 on my HTC Touch, it must get MGS Touch too
- The iPod Touch and iPhone are gaming platforms. Super monkey ball isn't the only game on it, as there are many others that use the accelerometer is even more creative ways.
- The systems have a touch screen, so they can put the buttons wherever they want. Having used the iPod touch a lot, I can say that it's actually quite comfortable and easy to use. I had more trouble working with the DS because it had the touch screen (requiring a stylus, not a finger) and buttons. The DS is incredibly awkward to use for a lot of games that require a lot of movement.having used an ipod touch a lot also I must say whever they place the buttons
- There are already shooting gallery games on the iPod Touch and iPhone. You tap the screen to shoot, and some use the accelerometer to aim. It's actually really neat, and I find it easier to do than playing an FPS on a console (Why are FPSs on consoles?).
- You don't pay a monthly fee to use the iPod Touch. I don't recommend the iPhone at all, though I can't speak from experience using it, but I highly recommend the iPod Touch. There's a lot more to it than just games, but there's no reason good, quality games can't exist on it.:rolleyes:
- The Nintendo DS is an inferior console. The games that have been released for it are mostly shit. I'm not saying there aren't a few gems, but considering the price of each game ($30 usually), it's just not worth it. Games on the iPod Touch are rarely more than $9.99. Most games cost between $.99 and $3.99. Also there are a ton of free games, all of which can be downloaded directly to the system via wi-fi.
I'm not saying MGS Touch is going to be a good game, but holy crap everything you said was wrong.
- The iPod Touch and iPhone are gaming platforms. Super monkey ball isn't the only game on it, as there are many others that use the accelerometer is even more creative ways.the ipod touch is a gaming platform in the same way a cellphone is; tangentially. who are you kidding? no one has ever bought an iphone to play games on, that's just an extra.

hahahaha xanqui trying to convince people tapping a non existant button where the controller and the screen are one and the same is BETTER than a console FPS.I worded myself a little awkwardly. Shooting gallery games are not the same as FPS games. MGS Touch is going to be a shooting gallery game, where you aim and shoot, but don't move.
ps no, I've played fps games on the touch, they kinda suck.
the worst DS game beats the hell out of the best touch games because they either have fucking BUTTON PRESS (jesus christ xanqui no one is going to agree with you that a console can be successful without buttons) or they aren't a rendition of a shitty flash game. the best touch game I've seen is the multiplayer Cube which aside from suffering from all the previously mentioned problems, isn't that good in any way. what are you fucking on man? SNAKE? a fucking GUITAR HERO clone? POCKET TANKS? these are games you think are better than the DS? of course they are free, they are all kind of shit. I get the feeling you've never actually used a DS as the complaint A STYLUS makes no fucking sense for almost every game and the games are much better than the flash derivatives on the touch.The DS is a piece of shit. It was a great idea at first, but the games are absolutely atrocious. Aside from one game, the first Phoenix Wright, every DS game I've played has been garbage. I haven't spent any money on games for my iPod, and while the games haven't been AMAZING, they've been FREE.
wow lol to say the only good game for the DS is Phoenix Wright and that it's games are "atrocious" you clearly haven't played anything on the DS.
Phoenix Wright 1 to 3
Apollo Justice
The World Ends With You
FF Tactics A2
Advance Wars
the brain training crap
Remakes:
Kirby Superstar
Final Fantasy 4
Chrono Trigger
Mario 64
Tetris DS
You clearly don't know anything about the DS ORRRRRRR have a very bad taste in games (you play shit like Madden or play nothing more than FPSs or MMORPGs etc)What pray-tell is wrong with FPSs on console? I've never had an issue with it, and in many cases it feels better. See: Halo, Perfect Dark, Resistance, Gears of War, etc. I almost want to say Quake 3 on Dreamcast, but that's pushing it. :welp:
The DS is freakin awesome period
I agree on the fact that FPSs are not meant for consoles, its pure crap. SOME of them actually work ok but MOST of them are crap with a controller. The XBOX 360's controller works best for FPSs but the PS3's is shit. (Compare trying to control Bioshock on the 360 vs ps3) As for the Wii... Metroid Prime 3 made us think wiimote+nunchuk were the next best thing (after mouse+keyboard) for playing FPSs, too bad no other exclusive FPSs with perfect controllers were ever made again for the Wii. (Not that you can call Metroid Prime 3 a TRUE FPS either)

Way to psychoanalyze me.
I've never played a Madden game for more than twenty minutes in my life, and the only MMO I played was the old Star Wars Galaxies.
You clearly don't know anything about the DS
I don't particularily like handhelds, and the only one I'd get would be PSP to just mod the fuck out of it and bring with me many emus and psx support, but I can still see some decent games on both the PSP and the DS.
Alot of them are pointless shit, but can be entertaining, but like Velfarre said, looking at them it may come off as pointless to buy them, unless you're a huge dicksucking fanboy of a certain series. But yeah, Phoenix Wright might come off as the best 'original' series for the DS, but that doesn't mean it's the only thing you'd get for it. There are other 'good' games, one of which people seem to go batshit for being The World Ends with You(ok i hate it but i guess 31052395 people love it)
So yeah, there's not that much, but there's definitely more than just PW.
Also, isn't it psychanalyze? Psychoanalyze sounds crazy to me.
...I did call it The World Ends with You, didn't I
But see, that's what I think Velfarre meant to say about like, all those Castlevanias and Megaman games and Mario Kart/Party/Orgy, they're all the same thing over and over again. Play one and you've played them all. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy them, but alot of people wouldn't give a shit, just like they wouldn't give a shit about Madden 2009 since it's pretty much 2008 which is pretty much 2007, etc..
You can't call someone's taste NARROW because they don't enjoy buying a system to play rehashed sequels
Also The World Ends with You had the single worst intro I've ever seen in a game and don't understand how anyone can play that thing this is the part where you start yelling at me.
:fogetinsane:
Nah, but seriously, that intro was a friggin' joke. Good thing the rest of the game wasn't as terrible as that. But I can see why someone wouldn't like TWEWY, the style is quite... distinctive. To say the least.
I'm not trying to convince you to buy a DS or giving you reasons to buy one, I'm just saying that it isn't right to say "this console is only worth buying because of this game"....and you said:
I'd say none of this matters to you whatsoever, because you DO like the rehashes of old games, but it is almost impossible for you to convince someone that doesn't think like that that the DS is worth buying for them.I know it is impossible, I said so myself, read my post.
So ummm let's change subjects, I want to know something else: What system do you have/want and why do you think it is worth buying for?
Also, I lol'd at "I own Megaman 2, why would I need another Megaman ever?" That's like saying "I own Doom, why would I need another FPS ever?"
I was making fun of all the people who were convinced because of the universal power symbol it would be for the 360, when all evidence pointed to the contrary. :welp:
I definitely didn't see this coming! (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/45726.html)Wow does this look rediculously LAZY. I mean the cardbord cutout like models look colorful, but they animate like FUCKING TIGER ELECTRONIC GAMES!!! This is a waste, I lost all faith in this(or what little I had).
[/sarcasm]
Yeah idk. The power symbol is a universal one, I mean the PS3 has the exact same symbol on the console. But the green is definitely a 360 thing, the power symbol lights up green on the 360 console. Who knows, A NEXT METAL GEAR IS is a stupid slogan anyway and I don't know what any of it meant.Well its pretty simple, Kojima and Sony wanted to team up and pull a harsh "prank" on 360 users so they created a trailer, showing a 360-ish symbol. Then they revealed that it was a cheap ass i-pod touch game. Then they rubbed it in the face of all 360 users while laughing and screaming "ROFL, YOU FUCKERS FELL FOR IT". But out of all seriousness, that was very misleading and it pissed off many who actually wanted this to come to the 360 but think about it, MGS4 would need like 8 discs to be ported to the 360 and that would be VERY annoying to switch discs like every fucking 3 hours.
Products fail when designed by committees. This is such a product.Um, pretty much every commercial game released in the past decade was designed by a committee.
