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

Sexninja · Local time: Mar 31, 2006, 02:19 PM

Since previous thread is no more, i am starting a new one.
After E3 all the net will be flooded with MGS4 related topics,why not start one here, in anticipation.
I personally cant wait to see Raiden,Liquid or any other characters in all new PS3 glory.
To hype things up Hideo blog is running a short 3 video series called MGS4 video report.Team of konami went to a SECRET LOCATION for "Excursion".

I want you guys to check and throw your guesses what could be the secret location,that will serve as inspiration or may be the whole level(country) in
MGS4.

From the people in background and the food, it definatley is some Muslim country.

Iran,Syria,Jordan or can be Israel????

I personally can't beleive an entire year has almost passed since last E3.

If you play the MGS3 Online the stage "Brown Town" seems like a sneak preview of the settng for MGS4, and if this is the case I'm all for it. This new mystery setting will definitely be a break from previous damp, dark, and dreary locals.

Also, according to wikipedia, the answers behind Ocelot's arm (specifics), Vamp's "powers" as well as the present day (in MGS time) Patriots mystery will be answered. All I can say, after playing through mgs2 about 30 times getting 100% dogtags on Sons of Liberty and Substance, I am more than excited.

I watched an X-Play exclusive set of trailers from when they were at the Tokyo Gameshow a few nights ago. It showed most a long FMV where there were like twenty Metal Gear's and hundreds of soilders walking around an Arab city. Snake was trying to avoid them. It looks like it will be a pretty good game. Right now I just purchased a new PS2 and am working on MGS3.

That trailer was included with MGS3: Subsistance, as well as viewable all over the internet, although I don't think Konami has it available to view, in fact, I can't find the official MGS4 Site. If anyone has a link?

Actually the TGS trailer is with Subsistence, to watch the actual MGS4 footage trailer is on that Metal Gear Saga vol.1 dvd.

What trailer is it??
The TGS one has nothing like 100 soldiers and 20 M.Gears?

I thought the deal with Ocelot's arm was explained in MGS3?

Spoiler (highlight to read):

The Sorrow is Ocelot's father. Ocelot inherited some of the Sorrow's spiritual medium powers, so that's why Liquid Snake is able to possess Ocelot through his arm.

am I the only who is totaly disgusted by MGS4? I so love MGS1/TS, MGS2 and MGS3 but when I look a that trailer, for me it's just full of shit! come on old Snake?! lol! and wtf with those robot with almost human legs? what happen to those cool Metal Gear? and what? no place to hide? and how is this suppose to be a sneaking mission game?

I just hope that this whole trailer was just a big joke from Kojima (like we are use to with MGS trailer >.>)

Snake only looks old but he is actually young in age. It has something to do with how he was created and the side effect to it was aging faster than normal.

There is a lot of very, very little countries in that region, and Kojima just had to base it of of one of the cities

I diddnt even know Zanzibar was a country prior to Metal Gear.

It's accelerated aging that made him old.THis aging is side effect of cloning.
Some clones age early, some later.As you can see the aging process came into effect in Solidus first,thats why he was old in MGS2.

After this game Raiden will replace Snake,for future installments.
So raiden will be made to attract evryone in MGS4.
Let's see if Raiden new looks, will defeat Solid's fanbase.
That is what kojima is saying,people will forget Snake.

Perhaps it's the FOX DIE that's making Snake age rapidly, an unintended side effect of the FOX DIE virus. I agree it will take some time get into grips with the new-old Snake, but what's done is done.

Sexninja · Local time: Apr 1, 2006, 01:46 AM

We have to take Solidus into consideration too,he was OLD in MGS2 before Snake and the clones were made at the same time,so why Solidus got older early.
Thats why it makes sense with Cloning not with Foxdie and its OFFICIAL that cloning has side effect of accelerated aging or "accelerated cells degeneration" as kojima puts it.
Kojima said that Snake cells are being degenarated faster coz he is clone and he will get older sooner than normal people.

the Boss is Ocelot's mother, if that happened to slip from memory. This was stated on the original game (Snake Eater).

PLOT TWIST: Maybe Snake was actually retired and is like 70 when the Metal Gear war happens, and he comes out of retirement for his "last stand". :lolsign:

Well, if you put 2 and 2 together,

Spoiler:

and bridge the gap of coincidence with Ocelot's past and his parents, then yeah it's answered ;P but they're going to solidify, with detail, in mgs4. This is of course going off of wiki, although I don't know why they wouldn't talk about it.

and yes:

Spoiler:

Ocelot's parents are The Boss and The Sorrow. They don't clearly state that, but due to the enormous amounts of coincidence between the situations of The Boss's pregnancy and Ocelot's birth, which you find out via codec conversations, it's actually quite obvious

Indeed, remember how the Boss talked about giving birth on the field of Normandy in June 1944 since she was helping the Americans with the D-Day invasion?

A baby born with beautiful blue eyes.
