Spoiler:

BTW, did anyone notice the snowy local Snake and Liquid were fighting at? Could that possibly be Shadow Moses?

Spoiler:

Looking at the nature of the damage on REX (look at the radome), it would seem likely. Maybe Snake went there and salvaged it somehow?

Also, the scene where Raiden is throwing up the artificial blood reminds me a lot of the scene in Alien where the android officer gets cut in half.

But if this had made any kind of ruckus, wouldn't we have heard about it?

Argh. I did it. I watched the trailer, but in all honesty, with wasn't that bad at all. It's definetly worth viewing regardless.

Spoiler:

But what gets me is the question of what the hell Snake is doing with Rex that doesn't have a rail gun, or any other means to battle with Ray... What the hell?

Spoiler:

Well, he presumably still has the free electron laser.

Oh shit you're right, even the rail gun missing plus the cockpit is open. That has to be Shadow Moses. Man, they really did show too much now, that has to be last location you visit. Shadows Moses is where it all started and now it looks like it'll be where it all ends.

The little girl with the petal in her hair is obviously The Boss.

That is beyond question. You see, the Patriots were able to salvage the previous version of The Boss from way in the USSR, and combined with the spiritual impulse from her

, they were successfully able to clone another version of her. In fact, Kojima specifically mentions this at the end of the trailer, if anyone was wathing, but in anycase, he goes on to state that The Boss is to grow at an exponential rate and later surpass Snake's age becoming over 124 years old, before dying of decay. Snake later reharvests her energy in order to transport back in time to Shadow Moses where

he ressurrects Metal Gear Rex, however, a time paradox occurs and Liquid Ocelot is caught in the space time continium, thus they have a battle between Gears, spawning an age of war, thus giving way to

Gears of War's special involvement, and later crisis encircling the Belkan Conflict present in the Ace Combat series... You see, it all connects.

Sooo...that's why there was a corruption of time in Donnie Darko. It makes more sense now. Thanks for clarifying that.

Well back home from vacation to the UK and now I had the chance to watch the HD English dubbed trailer. Some good stuff in there but didn't really have that much of impact compared to the trailers for MGS4's predecessors. Infact the only trailer that seems like a typical "Kojima" trailer was at last year's E3 which introduced the characters with that vocal track and suicidal Snake. I think the main issue is with the music as again all the previous Metal Gear trailers featured the "Main Theme" prominantly and it's been notably absent in every MGS4 trailer to date including this TGS one which marks the last major event and trailer that the public will see.

Kojima supposebly said the theme was in the game but I'm even more doubtful after this trailer.

Spoiler:

It looks like it but the one question I have is what is REX still doing there? I would figured that after the events at Shadow Moses the government or even the Patriots would of retrieved and disposed of it, unless of course Ocelot selling the specs on the black market pretty much left REX to be left there with the rail gun dismantled and the entire base locked down and under surveilance...?

Not unless they wanted to draw more attention to it than it already has. It almost seems like they're trying to quietly axe it incase of I assume copyright infringement by not including it in the trailers and snipping the theme portion from the MGS3 track on the 20th Anniversary CD. The problem is that it hasn't really worked since it already has drawn much attention thanks to the fans so there really is no idea if it'll be in the game or not.

Here's the video in question though of the 2 Russian journalists meeting Kojima and then playing the music:

Spoiler:

Because he's that bad ass that he's going to take on a Metal Gear that was designed to be THE Anti-Metal Gear that's twice the size of REX with only a Vulcan Cannon and a laser..

Also the demo for MGS4 unfortunately won't be on PSN. Seems like there was a miscommunication and while Kojima Productions "would like" to release a demo, at this time there are no plans to do so.

There's plenty of videos of the demo on the net though but sadly those playing it can't play nought for shit including this one at Jeuxvideo but you do get to see the Codec in MGS4:

Along with some new clips at IGN:

Also for anybody interested Jonnyram over at NeoGAF scanned the entire 52 page booklet that was handed out to each gamer who played the demo:

Though Im sure most people know but just incase,

on today's smashbros.com website update, we were revealed with triple update information regarding snake including MGS4 Love Theme song for SSBB

Smash Bros. DOJO!!

The MGS Theme was on the 20th Anniversary album
Video Game Soundtrack - Metal Gear Solid 20th Anniversary Collection - Order Now!

However I do agree that the MGS theme does sound a good amount like that Russian composer's song. The notes are similar, but it's the movements that are WAY too similar.

I also watched the new TGS trailer. It wasn't that big a deal on spoilers. And yes it rocked of course.

It's not though.

The track "Metal Gear Solid Main Theme - The World Needs Only One Big Boss!" is basically the main theme track from MGS3 except when it gets to the 5:04 mark when the Metal Gear theme is supposed to kick in the music shifts to the MGS2 track "The World Needs Only One Big Boss" and the MG theme is never heard.

That's a good question. Why is it that the military/gov't haven't anything to clean up the facility?

Bleh, that sucks. It doesn't even sounds like they intend to release it. Why must they deny us the chance to play it!?! Hmm, maybe they're planning to package it an upcoming game of theirs...

Ohh, nice find! The first 30 secs or so kinda sounded like the PotC theme. But yea I didn't realize that they considered the vocal song (from 2006 E3 trailer) to be the game's love theme (sure didn't sound like one), that's very interesting. Now I wonder who's love theme this could be? From the TGS trailer I'm detecting a possible Snake + Naomi relationship building up, possibly their's? Plus remember from MGS, Naomi was about to make a love confession or something before being detained.
