I heard it is embedded onto a BD disc, which makes it useless. I want to know ASAP so I can put in a preorder for the real soundtrack at CD Jap.

Supposed to be a seperate CD but whether or not its the MGS4 OST is unknown. Christ it'll likely be the 20th Anniversary CD or worse given its GameStop who gave away a "Resident Evil LE Soundtrack" with the LE version of RE4 and the CD ended up being a few select tracks of goth rock and such from the RE movie.

Excellent, thanks! You got a point there about the controls, still no info on what the D-pad, L3 and R3's functionality is.

Stress: This rises in response to fight conditions. This can work with him, giving him hightened senses such as accuracy and sustained damage being halved. But if in this condition for too long, snake will crash causing him to become exposed to his illness. a drag on a cig will help him calm down however.

Haha, I like how the cigs will have a use other than infrared sensor detection.

Heh, already slapped down my pre-order for the OST with CDjapan, apparently the first press is a "super" jewel case. I'm not expecting too much, if anything, out of the OST that comes with the LE. It'll probably be as lame as the one that came with the CE of DMC4. I'm more curious as what'll actually be included in official soundtrack release, as it can't be too complete of a soundtrack since it's being released a couple weeks for before the game's release (potential tracklist spoilers, I'll be avoiding it), and at the same time it seems like it'll have all the key cues as it's actually a 2 disc release.

Gonna stop by my eb tomorrow, hopefully they have the DVD in by then. Oh and upon viewing the TGS07 trailer again, this caught my eye. MkII is right beside Snake in the cockpit, heh, no doubt Otacon will be providing info on Rex's controls for that fight.

They better not handle the soundtrack releases like they did with MGS2. What a fucking nightmare.

MGS2 SOUNDTRACK THE OTHER SIDE 3 MORE TRACKS LOL

Can anyone confirm that the music in the Saga DVD is music from MGS4. Shit epic mang.

Yeah but on the upside the MGS3 soundtrack was handled much better with pretty much all the music from the game in one release.

Not sure if any of the music on the DVD is from MGS4 though the credits music is "Calling to the Night" from Portable Ops.

Speaking of PO, after getting the Essential Collection I figured I'd go and play through the MGS titles in chronological order starting with MGS3, I just completed it over the weekend and wanted to give Portable Ops a go since I heard the story was supposed to be and significant to the whole Metal Gear universe but given I don't own a PSP I basically just watched all of Portable Ops' cutscenes on YouTube to get the story. Great stuff that further fleshes out Big Boss' story and there are some pretty important revelations in PO involving The Patriots and characters in MGS3 such as...

Spoiler:

Ocelot and Major Zero being among those who established The Patriots and were among the first on the Wiseman's Committee and at the end Ocelot asks Zero if they should ask Big Boss to join them. It also gets revealed that Zero was the one who orchestrated Operation Snake Eater to happen given Volgin fired the nuke at the end of Virtuous Mission because he was told to and not of his own free will.

Is it still possible to preorder this game and get that slip that will allow me into the online beta? I've never preordered a game in my life, so I know very little about the whole process...

Is there a certain store I have to go to, such as Gamestop, or something?

Yes.

I actually just preordered the title a few days ago. Ask them if they have the Saga DVD (which includes the beta key) before putting down your money.

Sweet. I'm gonna go preorder my copy later today at Gamestop (I read they have an exclusive artbook for everybody who preorders the game through their stores?).

They just released the box art for the limited edition version of the game via the Playstation Blog -



Pictures of the limited edition hardware bundle are yet to be released, but are supposedly coming in the next entry of the Playstation Blog for MGS4...

Epic fucking win right there.


REGULAR:


It looks like the LE tin opens at the top then given the seam across the case which is interesting. Confirmed contents of the LE version and that import soundtrack...

Quote:

he MGS4 LE contains everything the SE offers (above, yes, with the potential to get the “Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2” DVD with MGO Beta Unique Product Voucher Code insert), as well as a collectible box with exclusive artwork by famed Kojima Productions illustrator Yoji Shinkawa, an additional Blu-ray disc containing two unique and never-before-seen Metal Gear Solid “Making of…” documentaries, and the MGS4 Soundtrack. Additionally, customers reserving the “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” Limited Edition will receive an exclusive MGS4 Art Book at time of purchase. This offer is good while supplies last, see stores for details. The MSRP of the “Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots” Limited Edition is $84.99 USD.

While the PS blog doesn't have a shot of the boxart for the PS3 bundle it does reveal though that we're getting the same "Steel" PS3 that is apart of the MGS4 bundle in Japan that is sold out.

So, if what GameStop gives out is Metal Gear Saga Vol. 2, where's the first volume?

Oooooooooh snaaaaaaaap.

Looks like I'm keeping my LE order.

Although they should have used Meryl instead of Ocelot.

Too bad, so sad, but you missed it. Came with a preorder of Subsistence some odd years ago. Can't remember if it was LE pre order only or for regular Subsistence, but either way, it's from there.

If anything, you can easily find a torrent of Saga Vol. 1 like I did :/.

Yeah, if you're a collector than this is a little worthless, but you'll still be able to see it this way. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the first DVD merely a collection of all the cutscenes, with some gameplay footage thrown in there for transitions that required it? It's been so long since I've watched it...

I probably wouldn't go out and hunt for it regardless. I worked at...I think we merged with GameStop when Subsistence came out, but I don't recall a preorder DVD. Oh well!

Well, after reading about the new store being integrated with the XMB, will you be able to download new camo/costumes?

Saga Vol.1 was more or less a documentary that had an interview with Kojima talking about developing MGS3 and scrapped ideas such as the original plan for the The Boss endfight to have her exposed tit out which would wobble to distract the player or something.

The Saga Vol.1 though was a preorder bonus for the LE version of Subsistence that came with a third disc that was all the games cutscenes sliced together to be something like MGS3: The Movie.

So, hey NEWS for the european gamers out there.

Quote:

Konami has said the European Metal Gear Online beta will run from 21st April to 6th June.

The client will be available to download from 17th April, as Sony told us earlier.

Two of the five maps from the full game will be available to mess around on: Blood Bath and Groznyi Grad.

The former is two-tiered scenario, while the latter is that big (and fantastically named) Shagohod complex from MGS3 that has human catapults to throw you around.

The other three joining these at launch are Ambush Alley with its trenches and sandbags; Midtown Maelstrom with its Middle Eastern alleyways; and Urban Ultimatum with its rooftops.

Metal Gear Online will be released alongside Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots on 12th June around the world.

It lets 16 of you fire bullets at each other online, in the hope that one will penetrate and cause massive internal bleeding and lead to death. And then respawn.

There are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture Base and Sneaking missions. It's plenty of fun, too, as you can find out in our first impressions of Metal Gear Online.

I hope this hasn't been posted before, but wow -



Some people are saying it's fake, some not. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess...

EDIT:
WTF 12 lbs???

I'm waiting for the Bluetooth Liquid Ocelot hand.
