Metal Gear Solid 4 & Metal Gear Online - 8/6: Rumored Trophy Update Out Now? Rumor!

[quote name='seanr1221']I agree. Although if the BD is as packed as he's saying, I have a feeling a subsiswhatever version on the 360 would be kind of nerfed.[/quote]

Which is why I doubt he'd let them do it.

So happy I did NOT buy the 40 gig. This is such a great value. The GS I called said they expect to have it in their system to pre-order late today or tomorrow.
Lets see PS, PS2, GC... this is system number 4 because of Kojima :)

I've gotta agree, it's SO much better than that damn MotorStorm bundle they brought out. If I hadn't already bought my 60GB I would be all over this (considering I'm going to be dropping the $$ for MGS4 and a DS3 anyway).

Yeah, it's crazy when you consider how much the 80 sold for originally and even the 40. Since I don't care about the MGO beta (or online in general), I don't mind waiting. Plus its only 3 months just about. Still I'm shocked they would offer this for only 500. I mean seriously, it's just crazy when you consider for the crappier 40gb you only get Sasqautch Hunting Ammo. Since its a 60gb, I can just get the MGS Essentials or all of them separately (since its lacks the second disc for Subsistence). I think I'll pre-order it at amazon, but a part of me wants to pre-order it at GS so I won't have to wait for it to be delivered.

EDIT: Hmm, Amazon took off the Metal Gear Bundle they had on last night.
 
Looks like the BETA is only a PSN download.

Guess the retailers must be giving out the DVD's and some kinda code then.

Here is the new information which has been taken from the most recent Kojima Productions report (082) which can be found here

*The boxart released is NOT THE FINAL BOXART for Japan or any other region...they're still working on it


* MGO Beta will be a PSN download for EU and NA


* the word "F*CK" will be used in MGS4 (for the first time in MGS history)


* The Metal Gear Saga 2.0 DVD will use the "Dissolve" artwork


* "Dissolve" image was created by a company called "Petrol" based in California and tweaked by Kojima Productions


* Payton wants you to come up with a "Metal Gear" name for yourself for all future questions to their mailbox or it probably won't get answered


* the violence level has not been toned down in the game, but had been for trailers

[quote name='metaly']Don't get me wrong, MGS's audio has always been top-notch. I just think what they're doing may be the equivalent of some guy only listening to music as colossal .wav files instead of MP3s, or buying gold-plated, interdimensional video cables instead of a lesser set that still looks great. It's just diminishing returns.[/quote]

I want interdimensional video cables.
 
[quote name='espy605']Am I the only person that pretty much bought a PS3 just for MGS4?[/quote]

Yeah, pretty much. Everyone else is waiting for the bundle to buy it then. ;)

Not at all.

Lots of people are waiting for MGS4.
 
[quote name='espy605']Am I the only person that pretty much bought a PS3 just for MGS4?[/QUOTE]
I did pretty much. I mean I found some other great games for it, but the main thing in my mind when I bought my PS3 was "I'll be able to play MGS4..."
 
It was one of the main reasons. However I am a huge Naughty Dog fan and when Uncharted came out it totally made me purchase it. Although I was holding out for a while that it might be on the 360 because of the rumble feature.
 
Does anybody exactly know how the beta is going to work? I would kind of like to go Pre-order this at GS, but I don't want to do it until I know I can get in on the Beta.

Is it that they give you a disc? If so, are they giving out the discs now? Or will they give you a code that then will eventually be able to unlock the beta?

I have just been screwed out of Pre-order stuff before, so I want to be careful.

Things are a little murky still.

From what I've read, it looks like the beta might actually be a PSN download and not on the disc. But there will be some kind of code that unlocks the file/gives you access. I'm guessing that'll come with the pre-order CD.

Though, none of the retailers have them (codes or CDs) yet as far as I know.

Perhaps you'll get the code when you pre-order, then get the CD later when the game comes out.
 
MGS4, Uncharted was just the signing bonus to me. Not what I am really waiting for but enough to make me speed up me speed up my schedule. (that and I got on sale my PS3 for 350) [quote name='FriskyTanuki']Uncharted or MGS4?[/quote]

Okay, I wasn't sure if you were saying you were hoping Uncharted would go to the 360 or not.

The bundle is nice, with Burt Reynolds Snake seeing his reflection in the world's shiniest console. But I like my 60GB PS3 with it's nice backwards compatibility. I've upgraded to 120GB and I think it is a good sweet spot for being able to download trailers and demos and not worry about space.

Same. Especially with all the old MGS1 characters returning! I wish they'd port The Twin Snakes as a bonus, since I never got a GameCube (the controls were annoying for someone used to a PS2 style set up). Although, I do think the original audio for MGS1 on PS1 was much better.
 
There is a teaser site up now, and the japanese beta is supposed to start april 14th...Man, April is going to be one hell of a month for ps3 owners. I think by the end of April we will have everything we want except for in game xmb (which will take a while since the os still needs to be trimmed down).. I think I read somewhere that the whole 360 dashboard/os only takes up 32mb of memory! Once the ps3 can get down to around that number they will implement in game xmb.

Anyways here is the site: http://konami.jp/mgo/us/index.html

i second this thought
 
It's more tactical, and you'll need to work together to win. It's a more slower pace than CoD4 and umm was a third person shooter. So that was a big differences.

Depending on the gametype it might be more run and gun action, like if you were playing capture the duck, but other modes require more stealth. Overall it was a fun game and I wish the servers were still up so I can play it.
 
Thanks for the info. It seems like I will be able to get into MGO then. I not big on fps and have always preferred 3rd person. Although for a while all the good action games were FPS's.
On a different note the Japanese ps3 that will come with the MGS4 bundle is fugly.
 
Fuuuuuckin A. If it's the same matte finish as the back of the old phatty PSP then I think I'm going to have to get rid of my 60 gig and pick up one of these.
 
I like the matte, but the bronze tint isn't working for me.

Then again, this could be a Japan only thing - it's not as if we've seen the white or silver PS3 in the US yet.
 
The "Steel" version is Japan only for now.
But the MGS4 bundle for us is matte black. (according to above post, i never heard anything about it)
 
[quote name='dallow']Matte black? That's nice.[/QUOTE]


If you consdier steel color a matte black...then yes. I like it. Been waiting for something other than fingerprint black.
 
The steel color isn't to bad, if I didn't already have a ps3, I'd buy it.

According to this scan from Japanese magazine Famitsu, the regular version of Metal Gear Solid 4 will retail for ¥8,800 (US $91)

yeesh...that's harsh. Good thing theres a set MSRP here
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']MGS1 for Japan PSN is hitting March 21st.[/quote]

If I create a JPN PSN account, could I then download and play MGS1 on my 80GB US PS3?
 
ooo nice bundle. Almost makes me wish I didn't already have 60GB, but it's all good.

If I were rich, I'd do a MarkMan and just buy a second console aka the MGS4 bundle. Oh wellz...
 
It would suck immensely if that matte steel PS3 does not make it to the US. The more I think about it, the more unlikely it will happen. The 80GB MGS4 PS3 bundle is supposed to replace the Motorstorm bundle as the main option of buying a higher-end PS3. I can't imagine they would release it as an LE.
