[PS3] Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What To Eat? PROTIP: THIS IS THE MGS4 THREAD

Spoiler:

IMDB supposedly has the voice actors for the game already, but you know it's friggin' IMDB, where it could easily be made up. Rose (Rosemary, rather) is on the list.

But you're right, she was pregnant at the end of MGS2 so the kid should at least be two years younger than Sunny. Guess we'll find about all that in the game.

The "Stress" meter increases depending on the action going on around or involving Snake. So trying to sneak through a war torn city with explosions going off all around you and bullets whizzing overhead causes the meter to rise and when it reaches it's limit then Snake goes into a "Battle High" where your accuracy increases and you take half the damage but it doesn't last too long and could cause Snake to lose conciousness. So it has it's rewards and losses given that it'd be handing in a last ditch effort when you're in a tight spot but when there's reinforcements around, well then you're screwed.

If you look above the Stress meter you'll see the "Psych" bar. It's pretty similiar to the old stamina gauge etc the psych bar is affected by the weather conditions and terrain and the only way to fill it back up is to psych Snake up via what'll no doubt be GOTY material for sexninja: collecting and flicking through nudie magazines.

That was a good article on GameSpot and the mention of 70+ weapons that are all customiseable...

Ok you an decrease psych meter through mags but what about decreasing stress meter, so those einjections are for that, no?

Also from where you got this info?

Read Simo's last line of text.

On the demo

"All I can say is that as of tomorrow we're going to start working on the English demo."

So start dancing in celebration.
This year we will going hand on MGS4.

Uh, what does that even mean.

Are they creating a demo for an upcoming game show in the states, or an actual PSN demo.

The least they could give us is a VR session, which shows off the character models and new movesets. I would even pay $5.

Well the info came from Ryan Payton's lastest podcast so a link would of helped:
i-revo The KP Report Session 059 マイポータル

He wouldn't really divulge any information saying that everyone should have a hint of what's going to happen and that they were now working on the English demo. So basically it should be an English version of the TGS demo that when done will hopefully go up on PSN given that there are no major trade shows left between now and MGS4's release. The only other way to get this demo into the public's hand outside of PSN is possibly through EBgames/GameStop as a preorder bonus but that seems a little too soon for such a bonus to come into effect.

Other interesting parts of the podcast was Payton being asked if the Dual Shock 3 was an improvement over Dual Shock 2 to which he replied "Absoluetely" and that they only received the DS drivers just a week prior to TGS.

Also the new MGS4 and MGO trailers should be up on PSN Thursday...could be tomorrow or next Thursday given that the podcast was recorded earlier in the week.

Working on the english demo eh? My interpretation, PSN demo soon to come. At least that the distribution method I'm hoping for anyway. It's definitely interesting that Payton found the Dual Shock 3 is an improvement over Dual Shock 2, especially when it's been said that the rumble tech in both are exactly the same. Hopefully those trailers are this week's update and not next's!

Oh and the Ultra Detail Figure: MGS figures (those 7" ones from medicom) and MGS 20th Anniversary Kubrick figures are in this month's PREVIEWS. Heh and the masked Snake is called Octocom in the item details, I'm assuming they meant Octocamo. The UDF figures are scheduled to ship in this December, and I'm assuming the Kubricks will probably be in December or January.

Heh, that reminds me I gotta place a pre-order for those RAH figures soon too, considering how the exchange between US and CAD $ are pretty much equal now.

Well you might want to hurry with the RAH figures then since Sideshow is completely sold out so whatever the limited quantity the likes of CornerstoreComics.com or other stores will get will be it.

Here are a couple of photos from TGS of the RAH Old Snake on display. Wish I could find more but these 2 images were the onlys one I could find:






Its nice to see some of the accessories Snake is getting and by the looks of the poster Raiden will be out before Snake at the end of the year.

Damn, didn't expect it to happen that quickly. Though I don't wanna place my pre-order with CornerstoreComics just yet (where the total comes up to be 50 bucks less than Sideshow's and that's including shipping! good deal), as I wanna see if these are going to be available through Diamond. Heh, be sweet as I'm sure I'd be saving a lot more by ordering through my comic dealer than online (the guy usually sell's me items at whole sale price).

Man I wish they showed the figures in a kneeling pose or something, so we can at least see how the articulation works with the legs (eg. limitations).

Interesting to note that RAH Snake has a black vest/harness (I think that's the right word for em), while in the game Snake's vest/harness is tan. I wonder if he'll be changing vests in the game.

I doubt Previews will have it to be honest since the catalogue is usually for merchendise that Diamond distributes like the 7" UDF line and Koto's Final Fantasy stuff for example and the RAH figures already have a distributor in Sideshow.

The colour of the vest just seems to be a design choice they haven't updated given the vest was originally black in the TGS '05 video and renders. Considering Snake is scheduled to ship after Raiden theres still time to change that which I hope they will do or at least include it as an option.

But see I've seen RAH figures appear in Previews before, such as the PotC Sparrow. That why I'm kinda holding out. But yea, I think I'm just gonna slap down my pre-order with CornerStoreComics, I really don't wanna wait till it's too late and miss out on these sweet figures.

Yea, I hope so too, as for consistency purposes. Though makes me wonder if Snake will switch to a black one in the game, perhaps when he's changing local?

I just went to my local specialty shop and ordered the MGS4 Snake and MGS2 Raiden. They seem to have a ship date of 02/08/08 which is about normal for imported items with Diamond.

GT has a new interview with Ryan Payton on MGS4 (of course). Sorry I didn't post this earlier. It just elaborates on the differences between the Jap and US version of the game and what have you, good video.

Heh Payton is reiterating the fact of us playing as Snake only. I like that circle button idea, how it'll initiate a flashbacks. Heh they'll probably be the only way we'll hear Clarke's Liquid again. MGS2 theme + MGS4 = awesome, now why is it that they still haven't played the MGS4 version of the theme?

Oh and the MGO TGS trailer is on the PSN now, but no MGS4 TGS trailer for some reason.

That's not what he said. He just mentioned that you'll be start and end the game as Snake and then made a vague comment about the expected twists in between. Sounds like that should ease the minds of those who were dreading another MGS2 switch.

That's what I'm wondering. Every time a new trailer popped up, I catch myself listening for it, heh.

I know I haven't been in this thread at all, or hardly at all, but I found a great interview with David Hayter talking a bit about his 'upcoming' role in Metal Gear Solid 4 (With rolling footage from all of the games ), which according to the date posted was back in April. You might have already seen this, but its enjoyable to listen to nonetheless:

Yeah that's actually one of the episodes from the Kojima Productions podcast, hosted by Ryan Payton. The video just takes that podcast and adds some video to be seen visually.
